Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I’m now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest…

    Gambling I guess? Although I count cards so it’s not quite the same, but I can’t exactly explain to the people around me that I’m an advantage player when I start throwing fistfulls of cash at the dealer…

    Using all the toilet paper in each public restroom. It’s a habit.

    I have such a reputation that, if you live near me and use the ladies’ restroom somewhere and all the toilet paper is gone when you take over the stall, local logic goes I was the one who last used it.

        Public restrooms are not always fast when it comes to refilling toilet paper, even when there are multiple spare rolls around to refill it with. Anyone can end up being the last one to use the toilet paper in a restroom and have it be a long awaited issue to fix. For me, it’s due to routine bad luck with using the bathroom. Often I end up inadvertently being janitorial with it.

    I love black licorice. Developed a taste for it as a kid because it was the only candy available at my grandparents house. Now if I’m hanging out with buddies and I don’t want them mooching off my snacks, I’ll bring black licorice. I’ve only met one other person that wanted some and I was happy to share haha

      Just don’t eat a ton in any given day.

      Edit - Oh shit:

      In past warnings, the FDA notes: “If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.”

    I bathe 2-3 times a day. A quick one in the morning to get me out of the house, or I just skip it if I don’t have time. Cycle to work, real shower there. Then a nice long bath in the evening where I just soak and watch anime. Or browse Lemmy.

      I like that end of the day bath too. Must be the Japanese in me. I feel some guilt over the water usage, but then again, I’m soaking in there for half an hour. If I did the same in a shower, I’d probably use even more water right? Also, the more you weigh, the more water you displace, meaning you need less to fill the tub. So it’s a rare case of weight gain actually reducing resource consumption. Thank you Archimedes!

          Couldn’t you compromise and take a shower in the morning instead? Certainly a lot less water used than drawing a whole bathtub. Also it’s quicker to do when in a hurry. (Though I would probably skip the first shower if I’m just going to go work out and shower again right afterwards anyway)

            It’s not a whole bathtub.

            You let the water run for a minute, and then stop so that it’s just a 3-inch base to get warm in.

            You watch some anime, read some articles, do something with your mind for 15 minutes.

            Once the water starts to get cold, you let it run for a minute, and then stop again so that it’s about 6 inches deep.

            Wait 15 minutes, repeat, wait 15 minutes, repeat. After about an hour, the water is just covering your groin. I don’t know how many litres that is, but it’s not very much.

            Compare that to a 15 minute shower where all the water and heat goes immediately down the drain.

          Taking 2-3 showers a day when you’re working up a sweat isn’t killing the environment, don’t feel bad about it. If you’re worried about your personal water consumption then reducing the amount of meat/dairy you eat and not participating in fast fashion will do more than never showering again ever would.

              Alright, you get your shower pass. I haven’t figured out how to keep my clothes in good condition for over a year and a half. Maybe its the weather where I live or the way I use my clothes but they never last that long - either they tear or they stain, if not from anything major, just from my sweat.

            I’m not the other guy, but for me, I need a shower in the morning no matter what, otherwise I can’t wake up and I don’t feel physiologically ready to start the day. Also I feel sticky in the morning, because my skin gets oily.

          My skin gets quite dry after a shower, so multiple in a day would suck all the moisture out of me.

          What’s more, after the dryness, I’d then get super oily to compensate. Won’t help with the dryness, but at least my DNA is trying, right?

    I like cinnamon raisin bagels…with scallion and herb cream cheese. It’s sweet and savory and the contrast is as good as a super hot shower with an ice cold drink.

    Breugger’s bagels, may they rest in peace, used to have a bacon/scallion cream cheese. That was divine on cinnamon raisin bagels. I don’t know what upset people more, the scallion on a sweet substrate, or the bacon on a bagel. It doesn’t matter, if this is goy, I don’t want to be kosher.

        Apparently they still exist. I just haven’t seen one in my city in almost 20 years. A quick search shows they’re now owned by the same parent company as Einstein. Einstein is fine but I liked Breugger’s better.

      I think I can relate a bit; I applied for a job and I thought I had it in the bag. Then they told me there weren’t interested. Finding jobs, making relationship, and starting big projects is hard because failure is scary and sometimes inevitable, but we are stronger and more resilient than we usually expect. Be brave, and give life hell.

      I did that for an additional 10, from age 13-31.

      It is not easy to stop. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t get it.

      It was life-changing to get sober. Weed was the last thing I let go of, a decade and a half ago. Literally everything good in my life today flows (directly or indirectly) from that decision.

          Here’s the thing,

          I got sober from alcohol first. I wasn’t really able to connect with the sober community until I got off weed a year later.

          During that year, my life did improve, I wasn’t ending up in hospitals, didn’t shake all the time, wasn’t doing nearly as much damage, but I was still trapped in a haze. My money was spent before I got paid. I was scared of looking for work, because I knew I couldn’t pass a drug test. I worked under the table, hadn’t paid taxes or social security for a decade. I was underweight. I couldn’t afford to keep my clothes even reasonably nice.

          I had stopped learning from my mistakes, I didn’t dream (literally and figuratively), I had trapped myself in this weird stoner underclass.

          So when I say everything flows from that event, I mean that I was finally able to be a member of the sober community. I was able to do the spiritual and psychological work that was necessary for me to grow into a productive, content, integral person.

          As I began to heal, to brighten up, things started progressing the way they normally do for people who aren’t on drugs 24-7. A friend offered me an interview at the company he worked for, I spent five years advancing, learning new skills that allowed me to find a career that I’ll likely retire from. I met a woman at one of the meetings, and we connected well. We’ve been together in a loving, supportive relationship for 10 years.

          Not having been involved with the financial, well, anything, I hadn’t ever even had a credit card. That whole world opened up, suddenly I didn’t have to drive fully depreciated cars any more. We’ve both advanced, career wise, to the point that we can travel, and help support our parents as they move into the later phase of their lives.

          It’s just been a complete change in the trajectory of my life.

      I actually saw this documentary about people with a quicksand fetish, who go out in groups and just lounge in quicksand (without the getting swallowed/dying part). They said they loved the way it felt on their skin and being enveloped by it, among other things. It wasn’t desert quicksand, but it looked kind of wet.

    Kids clothes. I don’t fit in them (am late 30s 140lb woman) and I don’t try to, but I find myself always drawn to the kids clothing sections because of their bright patterns and prints. I have very basic sewing skills and I’ve been tempted to take a course on clothes making so I can recreate these in my size. I fuckin love bright colors and silly accessories.

      Dude, fuckin do it. Sewing is super simple, they sell patterns where you just cut out the paper template to the clothing size you are making, then you pin it to fabric, trace the outline and cut along those lines, then sew it together along the edges. For basic clothes i think anyone could get it first try with a ten minutes on youtube of how to use a seeing machine. Then you can literally make whatever type of clothes you want, from whatever fabric you can find, super rewarding too.

    I hoard many, many TBs of handpicked, high-resolution porn and VR porn, divided by race, subdivided by star, with shortcut links when the women do scenes together. I enjoy organizing and maintaining the collection. I enjoy finding new porn from new people or discovering girls I missed and getting their backcatalog. Part of my after work/school routine is checking for new torrents of interest and if I miss days or weeks of new content, I’ll spend hours going back to find what I want until I’m caught up. All following strict, internal guidelines of what I want, not just everything.

    The funny thing is I know for a fact that I watch around the average amount of porn as someone who just uses pornhub or something, and whack it only once a day to every few days.

    I just love the collecting of it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Hello my brother in pornography! I’m the same way, it’s the weirdest thing. I love maintaining my collection more than I do “utilizing” it - it’s such a weird thing. As another commenter mentioned check out Stash, it will change your hoarding game (There is quite the active community for it too!), I have a tremendous library all custom tagged (To the point of even having the personal “emotion” of individual videos even tagged!) and I just love growing it and maintaining it.

      If you’ve been doing this for some time as I have I’m curious - do you also have a number of videos which are weirdly nostalgic? Like you feel very fondly about them even though they may be low quality/not content you are particularly into today, but you can’t imagine not having them in the library? Some of my most “treasured” videos are ones which I would never seek out today haha

        And yes, absolutely do I have those videos. I’ve actually been AI upscaling them (occasionally lol, it’s a lot of work) and sharing with the community just because I find them special and have a nostalgia for them. That’s so crazy, because I was just wondering if I was a kook.
