Sat in a coworking space in Chiang Mai and realized everyone had the exact same kombucha and laptop setup

There were like 12 people all sipping GT's kombucha with their MacBooks on stands, and I swear one guy even had the same Otterbox as me, has anyone else noticed these places feel like a weird copy-paste of the same person?

Man it really is everywhere now... I was at a coffee shop back home last week and saw the same thing play out with people wearing those puffy vests and drinking oat milk lattes like it was a uniform. Makes you wonder if we're all just following some invisible script without realizing it. I've noticed the same pattern in regular offices too, everyone buys the same standing desk and wears the same sneakers to be "different." It's like we're all trying to stand out by fitting into these little tribes instead of actually being ourselves. Gets me thinking how much of what we do is just copying what we see without even noticing it.

I mean honestly I used to think people were exaggerating about the whole digital nomad clone thing until I actually went to one of those coworking spots in Chiang Mai. I remember sitting there with my own kombucha and thinking "wait a second, I literally have the same laptop bag as the guy next to me." For real though, that copy-paste vibe is wild, like everyone's wearing the same Patagonia vest and drinking the same GT's while pretending they're unique.
