Iβm embarrassed to say that so far my Saturday has consisted of reading and posting on various lemmy instances. Is that how I typically spend my weekend? No. I should log off, and go do weekend stuff.

I did the same, but I just threw in a load of laundry so now I can call my day "productive".
I still haven't logged off! Somebody help me! Good on you for at least starting some laundry.
Scrolling asklemmy and this reminded me at the end of Sunday to do my laundry. Thanks
Happy to help! :P
Well, I'm here, aren't I?
I spend my weekend thinking about the things I should be doing on the weekend.
I volunteer for a local non profit building out business processes in the cloud. Super cool and keeps my coding skills sharp.
This sounds really interesting and something I'd be able to help with. Any tips on getting started helping folks out?
Spending time with my family since I donβt see them a lot during the week due to my work schedule. House project. Lots and lots of house projects.
Prevent my 2 and 1 year old from killing themselves. Then I watch reruns of Seinfeld.
Saturdays Clean the house; my thoroughness varies by week. Make some kind of single-pot meal that can be refrigerated and eaten for the next 2 or 3 days. Laundry if I feel like it. Putz around until nighttime, and then usually watch a movie or a show. Go to bed late, which for my middle-aged ass is like 11:00.
Sundays Breakfast at a restaurant with my wife. Someplace new every week. Finish cleaning if I must. Yard work if the neighbors are becoming hostile. Half the time I go see a movie in early afternoon. Existential dread until bedtime.
Board games and video games and D&D on Sundays.
...
My mom thinks I'm cool
I think you're cool too.
I can never find a group of friends dedicated enough to play board games or D&D.
In general, trying to get my kids to actually do something. Sometimes I go out and eat tacos.
Tacos are always good!! What kind of tacos?
Grocery shopping, going to the beach, farmers markets, reading, video games, catching it up on streaming shows, calling my mother, trips to places we haven't been before, etc. Also wife likes me to take her to garage and estate sales.
Meal prep, laundry, napping
If it's a sunny day, I'm skydiving and hanging out at the drop zone. Else I'm at home playing video games.
After a week working as a special Ed teacher, my weekends are spent recharging watching horror movies on Netflix with my girlfriend and dog. Then, doing any chores I neglected doing during the week. Cant wait for summer break!
Go see a movie, go to the mall, find a new place to eat a meal, these are some random things that we regularly do.
Stuff that happens almost every weekend: laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, video games, or vegging with the latest series we're binging together.
Used to spend a lot of time in the pool every weekend, but we sold that house because I didn't want to take care of the pool anymore (getting too expensive for my tastes). Now we bought a house on a river and my wife wants to get a boat. I think I want the pool backπ
sleeping in watching stuff on netflix or yt cuddle with my dog eating pizza and other fastfood followed by more sleeping
This weekend I made a video response to Gamers Nexus and got retweeted by Steve so there's that. That doesn't usually happen. Also wrote some code, went to Micro Center, and mowed the lawn.
Also mowed the lawn! But only the half that grows fastest. I didn't make it up the hill today XD
Hanging with my buddy on Saturday and practicing with my band on Sunday!
Lazy as hell or extremely motivated or adventurous...there is no in between.
In front of my computer / In my bed.
On Saturdays, I volunteer as a virtual tutor for highschool and elementary students. On Sunday I actually went to a mall which was exciting because I haven't been to a mall in like 4 years but I really needed some new shoes.
I train for powerlifting both mornings and then either hang out with my wife or do ham radio stuff, with some chores interspersed.
Most Saturdays, I work behind the counter of a community pharmacy until lunchtime, then I head home and do nothing.
On Sundays, I do my homework and any tech stuff that needs doing (tomorrow, I'll be upgrading my laptop from Debian 11 to Debian 12).
It's not the most exciting weekend by a long stretch, but that's what I usually do.
I work traditional weekends. I usually have a couple of beers and play Pathfinder 2e on Saturdays. On my actual days off I do a lot of chores.
Saturdays are for grocery shopping, extra long walks with the dog and my toddler, and various other chores: mowing the lawn, mopping the floors, laundry, etc.
Sundays are for baking, practicing piano and in theory for relaxing. In practice I have issues with just stopping and relaxing.
In the summer, I usually muck about outside and work on garden or other projects during the day. I also usually have something special I'll cook that takes more than an hour. At night, I'll usually play a game for a few hours.
Band practice, riding dirt bikes, doing homework, house work, playing video games, browsing Reddit before, now Lemmy. They always go so fast though...
