I’m also a bit heavy and I know the struggle. I use a lot of energy just do prevent popping back up like a cork. I’ve considered using a little bit of lead, but what I like about freediving is not having a bunch of belts and vests and other gear on me. So I’m currently also trying to lose weight.
In the same vein, freediving is easy to learn up to a certain point and safe as long as you don’t hyperventilate and stay away from caves. Most people can learn to dive to 10-15m and look around a bit before they have to resurface. That’s far from breaking any records, but enough to have fun and see some cool stuff that you can’t see from the surface.
Plus, you don’t need any special gear, besides snorkel, mask and fins.
I agree, Scholz is an idiot but Merz fucking terrifies me. Every time I see him on TV, it sends shivers down my spine. I don’t get how other people don’t feel the same way, it’s like Lord Voldemort sitting in a talkshow and everyone just going along with it…
They’re awesome! Being 100% clean instead of 75-90% makes a world of difference. Plus, you can keep browsing Lemmy or even brush your teeth while the toilet cleans your butt.
You still have to use toilet paper to pat yourself dry, but much less than before and you can buy the cheapest and scratchiest half-ply garbage, it doesn’t matter. There are also models with a built in blow dryer, but it takes ages, so I never use mine.
Only downside is that I dread leaving home for more than a few days now. Using toilet paper feels so stupid and ineffective now.
That’s what I use and it’s the best weather app I’ve seen so far. The coolest thing is, when you’re choosing weather providers, it will show you the current forecast for each one, so you can compare them better.
And it has so many widgets that are easy to configure.
You can go much deeper than 10 fathoms without supplemental oxygen, half the people reading this right now could do it with some training.
The world record is 117 fathoms on a single breath.
