Adjusting the cards in your latest Magic deck, eating a large meal, taking a fat shit, or finishing a game of Madden. The more of those the better. This is usually done while a group of friends or family is waiting for u to so they can do something important, and takes and inordinately long time
Kid: Hey Mom, where’s dad? We’re gonna be late to my last baseball game of the season
Mom: IDK Other kid: Oh, Dad’s in there pulling a Jody. He’s finishing up his dinner on the toilet. He got mad and told me to give him a minute when I told him u said to hurry up

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
