So, I think I might have missed somethjng or some theories or if this is even an important aspect.

What I think I know:

The original villagers have been around for a long, long time, potentially dating back 100s of years (if we follow the dates on the trees), but at the very least, >!atleast 5 generations, as noted by Jade's former selves. !<

The clothing the villagers wear makes sense, they can pillage from the fromville residents as cycles change, or as deaths occur,

But what of the houses? Do they rebuild automatically to match a vibe? The houses currently look like 50s decor (ish?), which matches the aesthetic of the og villager monsters.

Decor I can get behind coming in with people as they get trapped, but I can't imagine anyone deciding to just build furnished homes with wallpaper, ("electricity"), fridges, lamps, and phones.

Does a full cycle require EVERYONE to die? (Victor didn't die last cycle, and I saw a theory of here that because of that, the monsters couldn't "regenerate" into a more contemporary look), and if so, does the village update the homes too? (Save for maybe colony house, which is a different era of home).

The other thing that sort of proves this is the playground structure, which was brand new when Victor was a kid, and is now rusty (40 years later), assuming the cycle repeats itself again, would the entire village be rebuilt to match a more 2020s look, apartment buildings, breweries instead of a diner, instagram ready bookstores?

Curious if I missed where this was verified or if this is just speculation?

Another thought, victor said the tree>!s move, and there's the older settlement (vegetables/dolls), was that the old "town!<", and then, as a cycle completed, the current town was built, so rather than refurbishing the village, fromville just essentially gets bigger (In the sense that the borders grow), so in theory, if our heroes don't survive, there >!will be the!< >!settlement!<, the town, and a shiny new town for new folks to stumble upon

So I'm new to FROM, and as a huge LOST fan, I'm absolutely hooked, right from the get go.

Harold Perrineau being cast in both is the first similarity I found, but there have been a number through my watch.

Most recently, I was thinking about the (spoiler for season 4 ahead)

>!When Julie thinks to use the paper as a book mark through time, it reminds me of when Desmond needed to find constants, to keep himself in check and return back,!<

It's not an exact parallel, but is a cool connection.

Do you have any favorite similarities?

Context:

Never been much of a biker, but about 3 years, was my peak - which wasn't great but better than now

Fast forward:

I'm heavy and short, gained weight and generally less active than 3 years ago. I have a pretty good road bike (don't know brand) (it has the curly handlebars)

I rode maybe 4 times in 2 years, mostly get winded biking now, and thigh pain from, well, biking

Today, I barely made it a block before my right foot was just in excruciating pain. Did some googling, seems "hot foot"? Is the likely thing (it's the area where the arch meets the ball of the foot, feels almost like a cramp, and walking on it after is a tad uncomfortable, but better than biking). This is only on one foot (the right).

My two friends I biked with are A. Both fit and slimmer, and B. Bike often

Is this a weight thing? A skill thing? A shoe thing?

I really want to enjoy my bike but I'm not sure how I can, if anyone knows what I am talking about and what you did to mitigate the pain, I would love to hear from you

Thank you

Google isn't helping.

Lyrics are something like

BEER all I really want is

BEER, in the morning it's

BEER...

3 people looking and nothing T.T

Is this song even real? Is it a Mandela effect 🤣

Help would be super appreciated
