How I Became a Minimalist by Breathing Only Pure Oxygen

Hello, fellow minimalists. Today I want to share with you my journey of becoming a minimalist by breathing only pure oxygen. I got a twelve pack of that pure oxygen. That gas you can only find at 21% concentration in Earth’s atmosphere. I’m breathing on Mexican shadow lab hyperbaric medical grade oxygen. They extracted this with the cryogenic distillation of 2000 liters of liquid air. Stuff’s so pure it should be asking me “Where’s your oximeter?”. Dude. This stuff will make your brain turn off. Hyperbaric levels of pure. Brain-busting, wizard air. Stuff got sparkles on it so you know that O2 to CO2 ratio is wicked swag dude. A sniff of this stuff. Yea this that wicked wizard moon gas. This stuff straight out of Caelid. This stuff is what rusted Titanic. Rip my homie for real dawg. Peace. ...

Minimalist Living: A Serious Blog for Serious People

Why It's Called Linux and Not GNU/Linux

If you are a minimalist, you probably know that less is more. Less clutter, less stress, and less waste — but do you know what else is less? Linux. Yes, Linux is the operating system that powers most of the internet and many of your devices. Linux is better than GNU/Linux because it has fewer letters, fewer syllables, and fewer problems. Let me explain. GNU/Linux is a term coined by Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation and the GNU project. He insists that we should call Linux GNU/Linux because it uses many software programs from the GNU project. He says that without GNU, Linux would not exist. He also says that using the term Linux alone is unfair and misleading. ...

From Clutter to Clarity: How to Declutter Your Life by Decluttering Your Relationships

It’s no secret that our lives have become cluttered and overly complicated in recent years, with endless distractions and responsibilities vying for our attention. While some might argue that simplifying our lives requires us to take a hard look at our possessions and habits, the truth is that sometimes the most significant obstacle to a simple life is the people around us. Loved ones can be draining and emotionally taxing, leaving us feeling weighed down by the constant drama and interpersonal conflicts that arise. But what if the solution to a simpler life was as simple as getting rid of these people? Imagine waking up every day without the stress of dealing with a partner’s mood swings or the drama of a toxic friend.
