Why just men? Pretty much anyone seeking nature, the outdoors, and some quiet time would like this.
Until sunset, when the big skeeters roll in.
I worry that’s why the chair is empty. Someone got carried off by one of the larger mosquitoes.
I defintely know more women that could just sit there and enjoy it than men. Now you add a fishing rod and some cold beers that would level if not completely flip the playing field.
We have day mosquitoes now, even when it’s hot and dry. The brown striped bastards that fucking bite in a row if you don’t catch them.
They arrived 4-5 years ago and now we have to put on bug spray to do practically anything in our yard.
If it’s cool enough that the bugs aren’t out, then yes definitely.
That spot looks like it would be swarming with mosquitoes.
Get a small fire going, or a thermacell
I’ve considered the thermacell before after reading about its supposed wizardry, but I dunno still seems like it can’t be that healthy/environmentally friendly. What’s your experience?
We have a portable leave-no-trace firepit that does the trick for the evening.
Tbh i’ve not used them. apparently they’re the same thing as mosquito coils though just more… concentrated
As for healthiness. probs more healthy than malaria, or other mosquito born diseases.
As for environmentally friendly. i think the horse has bolted there tbh. have you seen how they’re powering some of these data centres?
bug jacket
Absolutely. Not even a doubt. Bring my speaker for some music, a few preroll’s, and a 6pk of beer and it would probably be a perfect day.
Unless there’s biting insects
masculinist gender ideology
All day long I’d probably get bored ngl. That looks like a primo reading spot though
Daaaamn, is that a Grosfillex Miami monobloc resin outdoor patio chair in white!?
Magnificent.
Couple of hours is fine, more with a book. Otherwise, I guess I’m the 1%. Oh, and allergy meds first is a requirement
Edit: WTF is autocorrect even doing?!
The mosquitos would ensure that chair remains empty, just like it is now.
Yeah, that looks fucking great, where’s the meme?
just appreciate the nice view, zote
In our garden I have a bucket with a seat lid. When I love just sitting and watching the plants do their thing
For me it’s the field out behind my barn looking into the woods, I built a nice bench out of left of 2x6. There’s an insane amount of bird back there, all different kinds. I’ll occasionally see a dead animal along the treeline and know it won’t be long until the vultures come and carry it off, it’s gruesome but very cool to see nature just doing it’s thing.
Put a hole in the lid and you don’t have to get up for any reason.
Too many flies on my face. Not worth it.
Depends on the temperature, humidity, mosquitos, and, of course, snack selection. But yes!
Accoding to the likes, 92% agrees. So maybe not 99%, but still high!
I’ve heard there are other genders on Lemmy than just men
