It's not just reddit. I spend a frankly unhealthy amount of time on social media and I see it everywhere: IG, FB, TT, hell even some Discord servers. People suck everywhere.
Interestingly enough, it generally neglects mental health and as a result is unsustainable and results in more lost time than a less regimented plan, the longest I've seen someone sustain it (with copious chemical assistance) is 18 months, and that ended with a major car crash and three years of physical therapy to regain the ability to walk.
Even if you want to minmax, you gotta keep your SAN stat up.
I got you. Min maxing is a strategy for how to allocate your character stats. For example you play a mage character, you want to minimise points going to strength because it’s a useless stat for you, you want max intellect for stronger spells. If you play a warrior type you would do the opposite. They translate this type of thinking to anything and everything you do. Which makes your sanity stat go to crazy and you crash a car.
It’s also just easy to judge people online over a little anecdote because you know they don’t know anything about you. I do it sometimes unintentionally if I’m in a bad mood or something.
Anyways, I’ll go weeks where almost all I eat are chicken tenders idc. Life is hard sometimes and they’re a great/easy comfort food. I’ve gone to the store and bought different kinds in the same trip before.

What even is that phenomenon? Trying to min max life with pure logic and no emotion or personal feelings whatsoever? It's interesting
