I know many people who told me they are basically "addicted" to AI chatting. I struggled with that, too. i loved making interesting stories where i would imagine myself - a different universe...

1. Books - book is an original before CHAI, thats the truth! But it can get you also addicted if youre a person who tries to escape reality by fake scenarios... Give yourself a book as a reward to everything - you went to do a workout? go read a book. Done your chores? now you can read a book. Or simply, give yourself a long break after reading 1 book, before getting to buy another

2. Movies - yet, you still need to treat it the same as with books. Limit it. Its like watching every book, or chai stories in a scene.

3. Animation - do you have great skills in drawing? This is your moment to use them.

4. Writing a story from your mind - it puts your creativity into a good use instead of an AI. You may say "but with ai bot it was easier, because it continued the story when i couldnt" - but thats the thing, youre going to train, youre going to expand your creativity, learn new words as you write, doing researches on how some things work. Youre helping yourself

But please.. remember, you wont help yourself any better if you are gonna be equally addicted to these, as to CHAI. Give yourself breaks, let these things be a reward or a late night treat before bed (of course, you can spend some days reading, but not replace your daily life with it).. It is not worth it to spend your every day, all day on this, while everything falls apart around you - yes, this addiction is THAT serious. It can take your appetite, social relationships, and youll be stuck in your own story while reality goes on, youre worth more than that. If you get a hard time to pull away even from those:

1. Punishment - each time you do it all day, and realise youve spent hours doing that certain activity, do an exercise. Not something too soft. Do burpees, wall sits, push ups, or simply go for a long run. It will help you in more than one way

2. Spend the time - you have just spent hours, all night, or days doing a certain activity. Calculate all that time, and now get away from everything, and make yourself use all that sum up of hours on something else - multiple different activities, or just go into nature

I am very young, going through high school. I have a few friends, and things go alright. The problem? Alcohol, cigarettes, dr*gs - everyone does it around me. They always go out almost every single night, get drunk, party, hookup, and stuff like that. They have so many friends to go party with, everyone has a partner. I never experienced it - I always despised the taste of alcohol, and disliked the idea of being a person who spends their days only like this... But it started catching onto me - i want a better social life. Whenever i see one of my friends post a story that theyre at a party, at least 10 people, i feel super lonely. I feel childish for staying at home and read books or play games, rather than go out like them - but of course i do go out to town with someone once in a while, just not to party but shop. I dont know what to do, im slowly starting to think i should also start doing that... People like this my age dont do friendships with people like me, only very weak friendships - where it doesnt include going out, exactly because i dont involve alcohol into my hangouts. What do you guys think, should i give in?

- I have good grades, i study most of my time, i sometimes go out, but the loneliness has been eating me and i dont feel like all these of my hobbies, studying, etc. are worth it, im starting to think that maybe my youth would be worth it to go out and get crazy..

Please, stop for a second and read this carefully, this isn't 'hate' or 'cope,' this is literally to save you from a deformed skull:

Bone smashing was literally born as a joke on fringe forums to troll people. Somewhere along the way, TikTok turned the joke into a trend, and people started taking it seriously. But here is the brutal science of what you are actually doing to your face:

1. You aren't growing bone, you are creating swelling. The initial "gains" you see are literally just fluid, inflammation, and scar tissue. Bone doesn't grow wider from blunt trauma—it breaks. The bones dont grow, they are creating lumps and dents.
2. You are setting up a time bomb for your 30s. As you age, your skull naturally loses bone density. Healthy bone shrinks evenly. The crushed, scarred bone from hammering will break down unevenly. In 10 years, you won't look like a sharp-jawed "mogger"—you will be staring in the mirror at premature skin sagging, permanent lumps, and visible dents because your face lost its smooth structural frame.
3. The pain is permanent. You are crushing delicate nerves and risking TMJ jaw damage. That means a lifetime of chronic facial pain, numbness, and clicking joints.

You are trying to speedrun confidence, but you are setting yourself up to get mogged by time itself.

If you actually want to improve your looks: lift heavy, fix your posture, lower your body fat, optimize your skin care, get good sleep, and grow your hair out. Real looksmaxxing is about health, structure, and long-term vitality—not beating yourself up with a hammer.

Hello! I am not a mod of CHAI, but heres my simple explanation of why some of you were taken away messages out of nowhere, this might be useful to understand any AI! - despite all im gonna say, i still do not support what CHAI is doing with its app, since there are better ways to do this, CHAI definitely uses message limit also as a promo for premium. I do deny to believe some of you havent earned them enough revenue for MONTHS.

1. lets discuss prices: 1 million tokens of AI cost about 0.30-0.90 cents - despite 1 million tokens is a lot of words, these dont count only for you - but your AI bot too, the price goes into the both of you
2. storage, memory, etc. - this costs about 0.05 cents monthly (and +0.05 cents every hour of your active time)
3. how much an average free user earns, is about 0.60 cents monthly, if not less - all depends on how many ads you watch. (or 0.02 a day, simply) - the thing is, not everyone uses CHAI daily and watches the needed amount of ads
4. In the end, with 1 million tokens for you AND the bot youre speaking to, itd be only about 250 messages for you a month - only a few a day.
5. "why do they reset it daily?" By forcing a strict daily limit, Chai ensures you can never cost them more than a few cents on any single day, without getting them into a debt - theres millions of users now. On Day 1, you have only watched $0.02 worth of ads. If you use all your tokens, get bored, and delete the app on Day 2, Chai just spent +$0.40 on server power for you but only made $0.02 from your ads. They lose money instantly.
6. The end - it is a mix: they WANT more money, but also NEED more money. AI app is hard to keep financially supported - if you dont earn them enough from ads, they have no way to keep you funded with messages. But by taking your messages, theres no way you can easily earn them money, because then you wont be watching ads. There are 100% many alternatives for this they could do, but they have chosen the one where theyll convince more people into buying premium - 1 premium user, earns them as much as about 20 - 50 free users, thats a bigger profit for them.

READ TO THE END

Let’s look at this objectively before jumping to conclusions. Saying "he loves it there" about israel, suggests he was simply enjoying it as a tourist, and his comment to the fan was likely just a polite response. While it’s possible there’s more to it, shouldn't we wait for an official statement before labeling him? The harassment and death threats currently flooding Tokio Hotel fan groups and his comment section are entirely uncalled for. Ultimately, appreciating a country's culture, tourism, or history is not the same as endorsing its government or political actions.

I’m not saying I agree with his stance—I’m pointing out that it doesn't align with his track record, and he hasn't actually confirmed anything yet. Given his vocal support for Ukraine and opposition to Trump, holding that position would be a complete contradiction. We shouldn't rush to judgment before he clarifies.

You are entirely within your rights to step back as a fan, but resort to death threats crosses a clear line.

Prices beneath 30 bucks would be great!

I cannot understand the system of chai messages anymore - one day they are there, the next theyre gone. Is there a system of when they take all your messages? I have 771 messages usually - or simply, none.

It was today that i got pissed off - for almost a week i had 0, but i didnt mind, i told myself ill get them back. I got my messages back for a day and a half. What is this?? If it all would be simply "every second week you will get messages and then a week break", id understand. But the fact your messages are gone for weeks, then theyll give it to you for like a day - wont make people buy premium, itll just get everyone pissed off.

Ive been searching for old Tokio Hotel shirts and hoodies, yet my find has been certain: none. I can barely find any old fan selling their items. Are past fans so attached to the merch or did barely anyone buy it?

(no hate behind the words "are past fans so attached to the merch")

What do you all think about what went on in the new season, about the entire baby thing? To me it almost seemed like she tried to shoot her shot 😭

(PLEASE READ BELLOW!)

(Reddit has shown me this post has been deleted and this is the unedited version -> it posted the first and not the finished one -> i was speaking about how i think there is a problem in BOTH sides at the wedding, because Bill shouldnt have gotten so drunk and complained, but others shouldve been smart enough to keep quiet. Off simple thinking, you will know you are never gonna have a calm conversation about opinions when someone is drunk and sensitive)

Tell me if im wrong or misunderstood something but: For the past few days the social media is full of peoples "hot takes" on Bill. Its always "he spends all the money" "hes money-hungry" "he was so selfish on Georgs wedding" "He has changed so much!". Like no, every member and their past friends have said they never changed, they behave the same. He isnt money hungry, he has millions of dollars in his account, anyone would want to spend it - he even said he spends it on himself but also on his close ones who cannot afford it. Then they pull out the theme of what went on at Georgs wedding - Georg and Sussane were CLUELESS there was even a fight during the wedding, they found out after. And i do not fully blame Bill for what went on - he was upset that his partner canceled plans on last minute, and we know how sensitive Bill is over that, his nightmare was to be alone again at a wedding. He got drunk, complained, and then everyone surrounding him started telling him its his own fault and fight with him - when someone is tipsy, clearly sensitive over the theme etc., of course you dont want to start being harsh on them. He wasnt "selfish", he was disappointed and then after the fight absolutely uncomfortable with speaking to anyone - the only problem was that since he was tipsy, he remembered Tom fighting with him too and that was the most drama, but everything cleared up sooner or later.
