minus-squaredogdeanafternoon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 hours agoThat’s a pretty dumb measurement. Tons of people get in the zone when high. I’m way better at soccer after getting high. Sport should be a physical thing. If you can play the same game online (chess) then it’s not a sport. Esport? Sure. Still not a sport, same way an email isn’t a piece of mail.
