Hey, folks! This is Picklewho, your #1 website for Pickleball content, and occasional real estate advice. Today’s advice is: if you’re 20-35 years old and you want to buy your first house, the best thing to do is to travel back to the 1950s.

Now, going back to the important stuff, these are today’s pickleball news:

• Pickleball fashion is bigger than you might think

• CPR to play Pickleball? Yeap. Please. Learn it. Now!

• Did Pickleball beat ChatGPT?

Pickleball fashion is growing, and you’re about to look nice(r)

Pickleball is the best thing that has ever happened in the world after non-spicy Mexican food. I love traditional Mexican food too, I just don’t love spending 3-5 business days in the bathroom after eating a taco.

But let’s face it: when it comes to fashion, most of our clothes come directly from tennis. Fashion magazines like GQ and Esquire have already started to pay attention to Pickleball fashion and they are now demanding Pickleball-first clothing brands.

Ok, “demanding” is a big word. They are talking about it. I am demanding it.

Does pickleball fashion truly exist, though? The answer is yes. Brands like Nettie have already started working on launching Pickleball collections that will make you look great, without the need to look as if you’re cosplaying Roger Federer at the US Open.

You’ll never skip CPR class again…

If you’re like me, you probably think you know how to do CPR. “You only have to do compressions following the beat of a song. ‘Rap God’ by Eminem should work”.

Well, don’t be like me. A group of Pickleball players from South Carolina almost lost one of its members on February 10th, when he fainted in the middle of a match after suffering a cardiac arrest. Only one person knew how to perform CPR, and thankfully, the man was saved.

So, think of it like having a parachute on a plane. And if you have the chance, learn CPR and remember: it’s not “Rap God”, is “Staying Alive”.

Pickleball just destroyed an AI

Who would’ve thought that Pickleball would be the savior of humanity in our hypothetical fight against Artificial Intelligence? Not you, certainly me…and that’s what happened! Ok, once again, big words.

Here’s what really happened. Someone asked ChatGPT to measure the growth of Pickleball in the future. The prompt was “how many years would it take for Pickleball to double in size if it was growing at a 30% clip annually?”

Apparently, the AI bot messed up a result that could’ve been solved using a simple calculator. Now, I’m not a math expert (in fact, I’ve used my fingers to calculate 2+2 a couple of times after 30, so if you want to check the results for yourself, this is the link.

And yes, that’s the nerdiest we’ll ever go in this blog. Have a nice day!
