Moisturize at a young age. It helps alot and will pro long your youth even if you don’t need it in the moment.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
Also, good enough is good enough. And if it’s not, well then, it wasn’t good enough then, was it?

If you want to delete something on lemmy, make sure you edit the post/comment and replace it with something like “Deleted” then go to another instance to verify that the edit got sent to other instances. If you still see your old comment, then try editing it again later to a different text like “Deleted 2”. Only click the delete button after you’ve verified that your original text is no visible from other instances.

Now why do I say this? Because if you delete the comment without overwriting it, the deletion request might not get sent through the fediverse and now someone on another instance is still able to view your post. You can’t sent the deletion request twice, but you can edit a comment as much as you want, so if the federation is broken, you can always try to overwrite the comment again at a later time. Even then, there might still be a instance somewhere that didn’t receive your update/deletion request, so please make sure you don’t accidentally post your personal information.

Never stop dating your partner. Time will pass you’ll get complacent and fall into a routine. It happens and that’s fine but Be aware of it and break the cycle, buy them a random gift, take them somewhere nice where you both get dressed up, leave them little notes around the house, do something they’ve been asking you to do but you keep forgetting or putting off. A relationship is work, so put the work in.

Proper dental hygiene is something that one should make a habit from a young age. By the time one realizes its value, like I did, it might already be too late.

Ditto with sleep hygiene. Those two are habits that I think should be learned and reinforced from a young age.

Any time you make any amount of money, put 5% of it into a savings account. If you don’t have a savings account, make one. If you can’t make one, put the money somewhere safe in your house.

5% doesn’t sound like a lot, and for broke/poor people it can often mean the difference between eating that day or not, but if you’re able to do it, really seriously do it. I recently calculated where I’d be right now if I had done that, and I would have saved over $20,000 in the last 15 years if I had listened to my own stupid advice.

Also, wear moisturizing sunscreen every single day.

You can always take more edibles. You can’t take less.

Do not trust spez

Treat your body good. Eat well and get some kind of exercise into your daily routine. Even Walking 20-30 minutes a day is enough to keep you healthy enough.

When you get into your mid 30’s things get harder.

BLOCK PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Don’t argue with people who are obviously trolling, obviously acting in bad faith, or obviously don’t believe the shit they say. Their plan is to get you upset and make you slip up, or keep spouting BS as you give them an air of reasonability.

Block them. Make it a habit. “Oh obvious troll” -> blocked. This is the best thing you can do to clean up your social media experience.

You don’t need 10k comments and 10k upvotes for content to be good and engaging.

Anything worth doing is still worth doing half assed.

Take care of your teeth, stay hydrated, stay active, and don’t drink too much alcohol.

Drink some water everyday.

While it’s good to stay hydrated, sometimes you just want to give your kidneys a break, especially if you exclusively drink soda.

Be warry of advice given by strangers.
