A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Workout - Straining muscles just a little to encourage growth.

Chilling - No stress, no strain, everything kinda stays the same. But still have daily life strain, gravity, etc.

Pigging Out - Carbs, Carbs, no protein at all! Might encourage faster muscle degradation as the body isn't using ketones, so muscles could get metabolized faster

Space - Low gravity environments destroy muscles aggressively!

So I would posit - Spacing out is the opposite of Working out, and Pigging Out is a modifier bonus action.

I think OP was going for the more literal "work" vs "chill", and "out" vs "in"

Chilling - No stress, no strain, everything kinda stays the same.

Fun fact - Chilling is a part of a workout. Post workout, we have to chill otherwise the muscles can't recover and become stronger.
