The best way to bowl is to put the rails up so no one can gutter ball, then play for lowest score. It’s impossible to take serious, no one can be good or bad at it, a 7/10 split still sucks, and the people in the next lane will be very confused.
Fun all around.
Unfortunately, I’m infected with the “Why do something unless you’re trying to get gud?”
Which means, I’ll try something for a while and if I think I have some base talent as a foundation and I don’t have anything else I’m obsessed with at the time I’m absolutely going to fixate on it until I’m really good. But if I think I’m doomed to mediocrity I completely lose interest in it. Note that I don’t have to start off good, I just need to feel an intuition of “Oh, I could go somewhere with this.”
I suck at bowling and I don’t ever want to do it. I only begrudgingly do it because friends drag me to it and if they let me I’ll sit out and just chit chat instead of actually playing.
Baseball?
Edit: *Gasp. Downvote!?! Very well:
Top 5 oldest and heaviest MLB players active in the 2026 season, including their age, height, and weight:
Rich Hill Age: 45 Height: 6’5" (196 cm) Weight: ~210 lbs (95 kg) Justin Verlander Age: 43 Height: 6’5" (196 cm) Weight: ~225 lbs (102 kg) Max Scherzer Age: 41 Height: 6’3" (191 cm) Weight: ~220 lbs (100 kg) Chris Martin Age: 38 Height: 6’4" (193 cm) Weight: ~240 lbs (109 kg) Carlos Santana Age: 39 Height: 6’1" (185 cm) Weight: ~235 lbs (107 kg).
Carlos Santana
Damn, talk about a renaissance man
Not sure where you’re getting this info from, because it’s horribly wrong.
Per Baseball Reference, corroborated by Savant:
- Rich Hill is not an active MLB player
- Verlander weighs 240
- Scherzer weighs 208
- Martin is 39yo, 6’8”
- Santana is 40yo, 5’10” 210lb
Leaving aside that you’re calling 43yo/6’5”/240lb “old and fat”—that’s below average BMI even before accounting for BMI not accurately representing the fatness of elite athletes
And yet somehow the part where there are active MLB players who share names with Cold Play’s lead singer and Carlos Santana is not wrong.
In true shitpost fashion, I make shit up as I go. I was too lazy to do any real research. I’m too lazy to verify your shitpost isn’t doing the same thing. Either way, ponder this:
🚨🚨🚨 slopper detected 🚨🚨🚨
I would have done Bartolo Colón
Pitchers stand there for a lot of the game and need to be tall to throw so it makes sense that most of your list are pitchers past their prime.
Only because you mentioned shoes: all three of the main generals involved in the Battle of Waterloo (Wellington, Blucher and Napoleon) had a type of shoe or boot named after them.
Here, I fixed it for ya:
You’re not wrong. You’re just an asshole.
I might be guilty of this. Used to go every week with a friend and eventually started figuring out my stride. Now I’m the one that does better than a casual player and it’s weird.
genuinely nothing worse than going bowling
with people who are actually good. like why are you doing all thatPoll: Anyone ever have hipsters in their highschool go through a bowling shoe phase?
Upvote = yes Downvote = no
Edit: By early poling numbers, I can’t tell if it was only a thing in my highschool, or if people who wear bowling shoes casually, yet ironically or even post-ironically, just haven’t come to terms with the fact that they are indeed hipsters.
Bowling shoes no, but I remember saddle shoes having a resurgence with hipsters and I think the stereotypical bowling shoes are a type of saddle shoe.
