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 have never not gotten the job.
You’re telling me that if you go on indeed or linkedin, you’re getting every job?
No, just for all those to which I have applied, I have been offered the gig. It isn’t many: a few as a teenager and 7 since I left the military. But I’ve just been really fortunate, and not been rejected.
Omg I love trippy ambient electronic. PM me if you want. I have so many suggestions and would love to get some from you too.
I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.
Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.
Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must’ve never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).
Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.
Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there’s not much AC in Finland for the summer…
The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.
I can’t consciously change my body temperature, but I do find that my thoughts and attitude about the heat or cold do affect it quite a bit.
Does getting cold hands and feet from watching terrifying movies count?
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/
That’s heckin’ cool, but why is it archived?
I think the idea is that it’s like the Global Seed Vault but for knowledge (and it’s physically close, too). Maintain copies of important things in such a way that they are designed to survive ~any catastrophe.
Oh cool!
I’m the leading goal scorer on my 40+ adult hockey league.
Congratulations on your two goals!
Per game, bender.
I can drive 18 hours at a time only stopping for fuel and something to eat while driving.
That is impressive! I can’t go 18 hours without a bathroom break.
Okay, well I’ll admit. I do pee at gas stations.
Sounds like your whole story is falling apart now!
Normal, hydrated person can’t go 18 hours without toilet break.
My personal record is 22 hours.
Interesting, my record is the same.
I can drive as long as possible without touching my phone.
Isn’t this like… idk… normal intelligent human behavior?
haha intelligent and normal are usually two different categories of drivers
I haven’t seen any Star Wars movie.
That’s fine, but don’t make it a personality trait.
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.
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.
The thing I like about the original Star Wars trilogy is not that they were great stories, but just that they had really, really good pacing. The characters and scenarios were introduced at just the right rate so that when the big action scenes came around you really cared about them, especially in the first one. That’s also where the later films fell down. I don’t consider myself a huge Star Wars fan, but I would say it’s worth appreciating for the art of it even if you already know the stories.
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
I’m not toxic, but I am a fan! So, so much money in the franchise and they’ve all been mediocre-to-bad since Return of the Jedi. Some slight exaggeration to this opinion, but it’s mostly true. And there are some truly incredible stories in the old novels that are now discarded and considered not canon. Such wasted potential…
Huh. That is weird but it shouldn’t be.
Sometimes, my sneezes smell like buttercups.
Sometimes I’ll sneeze, and people will ask who is wearing perfume, or comment that someone’s clothes smell like they were fresh out of the wash. What’s actually happening is they’re breathing my spores, and they love it.
Oh. Lol. Weird…
Haha, it’s so weird that the only people that have caught on that are my sneezes are my wife and my parents. My wife used to think it was cute, until she realised that her smelling it basically means she’s breathing in my sneezes, which is pretty grim.
It’s maybe 1 in 5 sneezes, but I can almost always tell when it’s going to be a “smelly” one.
Holy shit bro that could be a sign of diabetes. See a doctor
Already have, it’s definitely not diabetes. Apparently it’s a genetic thing, but it’s both pretty rare and just isn’t caught by people that “have the gift”.
wtf 😅 eww?
You sound like some kind of Anime villain
What’s actually happening is they’re breathing my spores, and they love it
What is your final goal when you have successfully bred enough spore-bearing drones out of us, huh?
That I can go three days without pooping if I’m out backpacking.
…mizu?
Three days ia nothing. Being a shy kid on two weeks summer camp there was a challenge to poop just once in the middle… I almost made it. My friend succeeded though.

“don’t you fucking dare poop! They’ll make fun of how dumb you poop and they’ll mock you for it forever!”
kid thoughts are dumb, but damn kids at camp are Brutal. timid tinkler here.
Cool Story Bro! Have you thought about maybe writing up a post about this here on Lemmy?
That’s about it. I call it “Camp Constipation Mode”.
I’m trying to think of something I can actually do, but all I can think about are weird coincidences beyond my control:
My parents and my husband’s parents were married on the same day in different parts of the country. His dad also shares my birthday.
My first child was born on the same day as a moderately famous comedian’s first child. Later, when I looked that comedian up, I realised my second child was born on his 50th birthday.
My ability to correctly and perfectly parallel park nearly 95% of the time is one of the skills I’m oddly the most proud of.
Same 👊
One time I was trying to find a parking spot in Ballard, a neighborhood in Seattle. It was Friday and only one spot was available. Just enough to barely fit and traffic was in full force. I thought it was close but I was confident. When we got out, a group at the bar gave me a round of applause letting me know that multiple people had tried and failed to park there and it had become a fun joke for everyone until I swooped in like a pro and didn’t even make it look difficult.
Haha parallel parking is just a natural skill for some of us!
That’s not even a weird flex but just a full on hard flex 💪
I was taught by someone who really understood that it really is just geometry and as long as your first position is correct and you turn to the right angles, it’s simple. The only time I really screw up is if there’s someone behind me or in front of me keeping me from setting up properly.
Something that helps me that I think a lot of people overlook is that you simply need to steer the front in order to point the back wheels where you want to go because they always track in a straight line. The front can easily shift left and right with small movements if the front of your car is in the wrong position, but there’s no way to shift the back wheels side to side without starting over completely.
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.
This reads like a math problem.
“Assuming a linear decrease of physical age through running, in which year did the physical age match the real age?”That’s actually a great insight! I remember opening a botyle of wine to celebrate that.
Just for fun, years ago i did a linear chart for my marathon times, and estimated that about two years ago I should have broken the sound barrier.
I work full home office
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.
2 jobs one office here. WFH squared.
Jelly.
WFH gang rise up
I’m double jointed.
