Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.
I go to bed at 9pm everyday, and get 8hrs+ of sleep.
Alright tone down the bragging, we get it , you’re “well balanced” or whatever
Fucking superpower right there, straight out of a videogame
With that reduced amount of “me time” (he/she time?) I bet OP wouldn’t understand videogame references /s
I need this so much
Me too, but I’m too lazy to go to bed. I rather procrastinate till late night, not wanting the day (and my onyl me time) to end. So i go sleep late and wake up grumpy every single day. Yay!
Hello from 2:23 am. I resent you so hard right now.
Once you’re >25 this is just a flex
I can eyeball the smallest available Tupperware that will fit the leftovers, every time.
Bro was a hermit crab in his past life
I’d join your online course
I offer a course of cook everything in one pot as much as possible, then move the pot to the fridge and eat only that till it’s gone, clean pot and start over. 1 pot, 1 crock pot fit on my second shelf, drinks on the bottom, and fruits vegatables in the drawers. If it’s on the top shelf, I probably need to clean it out because I never know what’s there. Likely cheese.
You’ve completed the course.
Wow, I can do this too! I thought it was just a human thing, like being able to evenly split something in half or hang something on the wall level without a level.
Same.
I haven’t seen any Star Wars movie.
the original 3 are good (a new hope/empire/return of the jedi) and the rest are bullshit
yeah, that’s what I heard, too.
funny thing is that I haven’t seen any of them, still know everything about it, thanks to 9gag through osmosis.
for a long time, this is why I decided not to watch any of thr movies, as I never would be able to experience it as first time.
but now, since I’m a bit older I know that’s stupid, it’s just some movie so I’ll watch those eventually with gf.
Capitalism doesn’t care that what made Star Wars special in the first place was that it only came out every twenty years of so.
There’s no profit in Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Huh. That is weird but it shouldn’t be.
Watch the first 6 and then stop
I enjoyed 7 when it first released. The visual style in the first 10 minutes was appealing and I figured we were retreading the same notes for nostalgia before going on a different plot with Finn. Nope, just poorly written rehashed story lines with nonsense plot devices. So much potential thrown away.
The prequels were a hot mess too. I watched episode 1 in theaters when it first came out and didn’t bother watching 2 and 3 until probably around 2019 and have zero regrets about that.
I think they’re getting a pass now because 7-9 were even worse, but this is like looking back at George W. Bush fondly just because of how awful Trump is.
That’s fine, but don’t make it a personality trait.
I can cook minute rice in 56 seconds. I try to only use my powers for good.
After a lifetime of allergies, I’m really good at Dracula-sneezing in the least bad direction
Dracula-sneezing?
Uh-uh-uh-von to ACHOO!
Thanks to my allergies I can sneeze with my eyes open, (I don’t close them all the way) I remember people saying that was not possible?
I do this as a power move to intimidate my enemies when the going gets tough.
I have a hyper sensitive sense of smell. Sometimes useful, most often a nuisance.
At work the roof had small leak few years ago, I could smell the wet concrete several days before the water reached the ceiling of the upper floor office and became visible. I told my boss about the leak as soon as I had first smelled it and located the correct room. “There is no leak here, you’re just imagining things” was the response after I showed the room to my boss. “There is and we shall see in a few days.” After 4 or 5 days the ceiling started dripping water and I received an apology.
I’ve been able to mentally bypass most of the awful smells of the world and people around me as long as I can remember, so it isn’t so bad. But after a few drinks the mental filter turns off and I can smell everything, including my own metabolized alcohol infused sweat. That is not fun at all.
On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog
Are you like the person that posted they can smell ants? Dude was able to find a single ant by sense of smell.
I do not know. I have never actively tried to smell ants nor had them inside any apartments I’ve lived in. I shall test this when summer returns one day. But I do remember that the ant guy wrote about having some genetic quirk that ables him to register some compound that’s out normal human range of smell.
actively tr[ying] to smell ants
Is my funniest mental image for today, thanks. Just some person outside creeping around the ground vigorously sniffing ants.
I was a super smeller but lost the sense during Covid. It still hasn’t fully returned. I have good days where I’ll surprise myself by picking up something subtle and off days where popcorn smells like vomit or skunks smell like brake dust. I was considering a sommelier course prior to this.
Yeah, Covid was a freaky experience. I got off easy, no fever or other symptoms, I just realized one day that I was unable to smell freshly cut grass. Then I realized that I did not smell anything at all.
My sense of smell started coming slowly back after a few days and I can’t tell if it’s diminished or not. But after Covid every brand of whiskey smells and tastes like vomit to me, so there was a price to pay. Also the smell of someone eating rice cakes became utterly disgusting, as well as yogurt. Before Covid I barely registered these two.
Dude has the super sniffer

I am fascinated by you. Please tell me you’ve written a book or long thread?
Also please don’t get Covid
I don’t usually bring this “gift” of mine up in real life, it tends to create pretty awkward and unpleasant situations.
“Oh, if you have such sharp sense of smell, then tell me what deodorant/lotion/perfume I’m using?” How the hell could I know the names of every hygienic/cosmetic product, especially when the reek of detergent, fabric softener and sweat is mixed with the scent I’m supposed to recognize?
Or people just laugh at me and call me a liar.
But my friends are aware of my talent, when someone is considering to buy an apartment they often ask me to accompany them for a presentation. I can tell almost instantly if there’s water damage or mold. When I was buying my own apartment I found one spot under the stairs that had a very faint but odd smell, like wet cement mixed with the smell of a wet dog. There were no water pipes or sewers even near that wall, nor were there any signs of leaks from above. I called the seller to ask about this and he started laughing. The spot was their old dog’s favourite place to curl up for a sleep after a walk in the rain. And it was years since the dog had passed away, they had even painted the wall once and renewed the floor laminate after that. So no worries, I bought the place.
I would hate this superpower. Having grown up with brothers, I learned to breathe defensively without smelling, but it’s also so nice to be able to use scented products and perfume without it hurting.
Perfumes or scented products are not a problem for me at all, unless of course someone uses way too much. Like I said, I kind of block all the unpleasant stuff unconsciously and focus on the good ones.
It’s kind of like listening to radio, all the channels are broadcasting all the time, simultaneously, but you still tune in to listen only one at a time.
And when I’m intoxicated, theyre all blaring at the same time and cannot be silenced :(
I work full home office
WFH gang rise up
2 jobs one office here. WFH squared.
Since 2020 or before it was cool?
I started working two-days-a-week from home in late 2019, so it was very easy for me to transition to full-time at home in 2020.
Does that make me one of the “before it was cool” kids? Now I’m back to one-day-per-week in the office.
After over half a century of action, a lot of it in “extreme sports”, and countless injuries, I have yet to break a bone.
Congrats! Must be all the malk.
Now with vitamin R!
We don’t have any malk, but I can get you some MILK
Good god, I have to rewatch that right now. Thanks, I’m not the only one thinking of that video!
I made a full fledged MMORPG, playable up to level 12 with items, quests, bosses…, in full 3D and a victorian setting.
In hindsight I think it was therapy. There was a video about it on daily motion (mindoki).
Heey there it is!
Thank you :-)
Nice! I made an almost full recreation of Settlers of Catan in 3D complete with multiplayer. But it now sits somewhere on my hard drive due to copyright and platform concerns (I set it aside during the Unity scare). It almost landed me a shitty, low-paying job so there’s that.
Cool!
We should make a club of mental developers 😋
Some code I wrote is buried in an archive storage underground in the Arctic
If you had some code in an active GitHub repo before February 2020 you may too, https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/
I’ve been running every single day for the past 4.5 years or so. Not counting the days anymore. Related to that, my smart scale puts my physical age at 17 years below my real age. Before I started running, the same scale had my physical age 21 years above my real age.
But how old are your knees and ankles?
Running is beneficial for knees and ankles over medium to long timeframes. There’s a 100 year old guy that runs 10k every day and his knees and ankles are doing fine.
Hahaha, I used to run; I had the same question! I can’t run anymore because knee pain :(
There was an arrow involved…
Not too bad. But to be honest, I started mixing trail running into my schedule. It’s fun, better for your joints (even though I’ve never had problems), and as a runner gets older, longer distances become more appealing. I’m beginning to consider some easier ultras, and they are usually on trails.
I was a fairly regular runner up until about year ago, and I’ve not had too many knee or ankle issues either. Trail running sounds fun. Might give it a go (once it’s not fucking freezing here).
Reminds me I still need to make a new set of running t-shirts
- I plan on outliving you
- Runners are objectively crazy
- I run to escape death
I’m on a sabbatical from running over the holidays but I would routinely run 10k and normally do about 30k a week.
For anyone reading this, heart health aside it does wonders for your mental wellbeing.
Where are you having them made? I’ve been looking for a print shop that would do the print on the back, where it’s more likely that someone would read them when I’m running.
Dunno probably Google it. Find a printshop on my area like “Newmarket Ontarians t-shirt printing” and realize it’s ass so instead go “Newmarket printing” and reach out to the top 10 and see who can offer or provide a contact.
The future is “I know a guy”" fuck this internet shit.
Human nature should be “yo I need my books balanced” and a"sure I can help"
The problem is everyone googles shit. Just ask your goddamn neighbor first. Chat may it not help but chat are idiots. Fuck chat.
Meet your goddamn neighbours everyone. Those are the people that matter in life.
Edit - I’m drunk and high AF so take my opinion for what it is. I’m out here wildin’ listening to Tierra Whack doing “Black Magic Woman” thinking this world ain’t ready for her. I’m fucking right btw. Y’all fuckers ain’t ready for her.

I can drive as long as possible without touching my phone.
Isn’t this like… idk… normal intelligent human behavior?
b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore.
Grew up without hot running water and I can relate. It’s only a problem in some hotels really, where the showers don’t get cold enough.
My weird flex would be being so accustomed to command line that I don’t know how to use well, and get frustrated by, GUI applications.
Setting environment variables in windows annoys me irrationally.
I used to drive a Ford Flex. I was frequently assured of its weirdness.
Start a limo service in Vegas with a fleet for the novelty.
