    I had a similar problem with a cafe bar doing a “Bottomless Brunch”.

    Anyway, it turns out it’s some weird, trendy new phrase for “all-you-can-eat” or “buffet”.

    It is not in any way along the same lines as a “Topless Beach”.

        Yes, it does appear that “all-you-can-drink” seems to be part of the offer in many (perhaps all?) cases.

        Anyway, definitely don’t start taking off your trousers and underwear.

      Running with music or podcasts has been great for me! To each their own. No guilt here for doing cardio and making it more bearable! Any movement is a win

      I stopped running with music when I ran a half marathon once and about 17km in I just started getting annoyed by it. I’m out there dying, and some asshole is screaming into my ears.

      Idk, I enjoy running by itself. I ran a full marathon without music and didn’t get bored once. I’d either just enjoy myself, think about random stuff, look around me, play music / sing in my mind etc. But to each their own I guess.

        I enjoy music sometimes but it messes with my breathing/pace if I vibe too much. I prefer to keep my thoughts running too

      I always run without music! I love the mindfulness of just being aware of my surroundings!

      I guess this would very much depend on where you run, though. I would never run on a treadmill without music or a podcast, and running next to traffic would probably also be bad without listening to something.

        It’s strange, when I sync up my gait to the tempo of the music, I don’t feel as tired during the run. It seems to help me keep going without feeling like I’m going to drop.

          I feel more like I’m dancing when I run or cycle in time to music, and that makes it seem more like fun than exercise. Same rationale as when I got high as a kite before/during my runs/rides. When I quit smoking weed, I was very worried that I was also going to quit exercising but that turned out not to be the case, fortunately.

        Second this, when i Run without music, i get more easily Into the Runners high (the Zone), while with Music on, its more difficult at least for me.

        You get more wäre of your surroundings and also your Body, which helps me to get Into that meditative-like state before the High hits

          If manufacturers specifically marketed those for running, then they’re at fault, yeah. Otherwise, if you take the basic idea of how it works, you’d know it probably won’t cut it for running. Anti-skip works by basically reading ahead (faster than playback) and caching a few seconds of playback (in a place that’s not the disc so it’s not affected by vibrations) so that when a sudden shock happens every once in a while, playback will continue from the cache and the normal disc reading will have time to catch up; if however every step you do while running is potentially a shock big enough to disrupt the reading of the disc, the caching just won’t have time to catch up.

          P.S. Sorry if that sounded a bit rant-y.

      Retronym.

      A new name for something that has changed because of technology. Acoustic guitars and prop planes are examples. Silent movie, black and white movie, antenna televison, etc, etc.

    This reminds me of a time when I was drunk, and said to my mate “Hey, wanna go run naked on the streets?” and he said “obviously”. So we were running naked in the middle of the night back and forward along the street, and another mate looks out the window, shakes his head and says “you idiots, without me?”. And he also stripped naked, jumped out of the window and joined us. Good times.

        Nothing is stopping you, I don’t think you’d get in trouble for long so in most of the world. And if it’s not where you are it’s easy to go to a forest or anywhere else that’s secluded enough.

          In the US, in most states, getting caught or recognized is enough to put you on the sex offender list. Even if you’re in private. (Again, in most states.) And that means you can no longer move into a new home without informing all your neighbors that you’re a sex offender for the rest of your life, among other penalties. There’s no difference to the US between this and people who actually do sexual crimes when it comes to this punishment.

    I’ve never run with music. It appears to me, to be a pretty dangerous activity in an urban environment. I’ve had a few near misses ‘naked’. Music while running has never really interested me anyway. I’m 55 so maybe that’s why…

      In some states you could be stalked by a cougar so you want your ears wide open.

        I live in Jersey and have a trail I run along the river, and despite the fact I just know there’s nothing stalking me, this one section goes through some thick bamboo, and I always just imagine something is there.

      I wear a set of bone conduction headphones and listen to audiobooks. I can hear the reading, but can also hear the biker whizzing up behind me without announcing himself. They’re fantastic.

      Music really helps with interval running ( If that’s the correct word, I have English as second language), just load up a playlist with fitting tempos and then just follow the rhythm.

      I prefer to hear the sounds of nature though, but not all live as rural as I

    I played naked frisbee on the front lawn of my college once. I thought it would be effortless but in fact it’s extremely painful to have your nuts bouncing around unsupported like that. But I kept at it until the Dean of Students came up to me and asked me to put my clothes back on because it was prospective weekend and there were a bunch of high school students with their parents standing off to one side. I thought I was accurately representing what the college was all about but he thought otherwise.

    I felt bad years later when I found out the Dean’s brother had been murdered in Mississippi during the civil rights era (they even made a Hollywood movie about this incident). He must have felt great knowing his brother had been killed fighting for black people, and he was busy making stupid white boys put their pants back on.

      We make sacrifices so other people don’t have to. I’m sure his brother would not have minded that he has a high paying job and that he can tell stupid white boys to stop making fools of themselves.

      I had a similar discovery about kickboxing practice and boxers. It’s not fun when you’re holding a thigh pad for your partner to practice kicking, and you realize that your legs can transmit energy, much like a newton’s cradle.
