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 a stomache of steel. Nothing will pass my digestive tract alive or intact. I never had any kind of stomache trouble and I can not puke. I ate every dish in south-east-asia that landet in front of me, even from some dirty streetfood shack in the middle of the burmese jungle. Most of the stuff would have killed the average middle european slob. Not me.

    It even goes so far that I cannot use edibles. Which is funny, because all the growmies make fun of me now.

      I have a pretty ironclad stomach, but not as strong as yours. I’ve been with my wife for 13 years and she’s witnessed the horror that is me puking twice. And the first time came 4 years ago. My friends say it sounds like I’m “calling the dinosaurs” and it is very traumatic for me.

      Edit: I forgot my point. I’m jealous.

    A. I got to drive a train when I was 9 (a family friend charted a Chicago Elevated train for his graduation party and as the youngest person on the train one of the operators said “hey you wanna drive the train” and so I got to drive the train for a bit

    B. I went back to college a few years ago and managed to complete a 2 year degree with a 3.71 GPA while attending college full time, working 20+ hours per week at times as the sole breadwinner while my wife was pregnant with our second child and I had to commute about an hour each way to school and work. I literally started my second semester the day after we returned home from the hospital after his birth. Unlike driving a train I don’t intend to recreate that experience ever again…

      My sister had to take a final exam at college right after having a baby, my mom held the baby outside for her while she did.

      I went to university after having my first set of kids while they were little but wasn’t working much. Tried to go to grad school while working full time and parenting and it wrecked my life so completely I didn’t think there was any amount of future income that would have made it worth doing. Even now, I can’t imagine it.

    Inspired by another comment, I’ve been to the mountain that Monkey (of the 80’s TV show) “hatched” on. It is more of a hill really, and it’s brown, not black as shown in the intro.

    I have a very high pressure stream when I urinate. Downside is I really have to worry about splash back at a urinal, upside is I can do little side quests while I’m peeing, spot cleaning the toilet bowl.

    I have an adorable little polycule!

    I’m a married adult in my 30s, my wife and I are polyamorous and we both have partners that are also partnered to each other.

    I get to have pretty fantastic sex quite a lot lol I’m super happy but I can’t really discuss much in my daily life. But it’s pretty great

        Lmao thank you

        My wife was poly when we first met, and I was new to it. We were monogamous for several years while we figured out how to be married successfully.

        A few years later, my wife made a friend online that was married and poly, and her life was just really similar to what we were looking for. Lots of friends, strong bonds, mutual support, and spicy sex lol.

        She and my wife dated for a while long-distance, and we actually moved somewhere both closer to her and with a larger poly community. It didn’t work out for them, but wife & i both liked how it felt to be poly together.

        I met my other partner thru my wife’s ex, lol. My girlfriend has a FWB type thing with wifeys ex, and we hit it off really well right away. Wife met her other partner and we are all, ahem, compatable!

        When that tv show about the Mormon guy with lots of wives came on, they made a point to specify that they do NOT all have sex together, and I was always like… why tf not!? (I know, I know, mormons, but c’mon)

    I’ve actively moderated the Zootopia subreddit almost since its inception. We did a lot of cool stuff but, uh, moderating a subreddit is not the kind of thing you brag about. Anyway, i quit this year.

    Also i have every single r/place-related medal because i helped organize artworks. That’s not any better is it?

        Genuinely once or twice in 8 years. People knew the rules.

        But the rules around NSFW content were a point of contention, i placed the bar a lot lower than most people in the community would have it. To the point that there was huge controversy a couple times, and i realized that they saw me more as a cop than a janitor. People really wanted to see rabbit hole

          Zootopia was fun, but I can’t imagine anyone being a hardcore fan and not being a furry. So I can imagine.

            There was a mix actually, a lot of users would say they weren’t furries. I can’t guess the proportion

            To me, the fact that r/zootopia was the biggest Disney movie subreddit and never stopped growing is entirely due to it having an umbilical cord to the furry fandom. You can also say that the Zootopia fandom was a good place for normies that were too straight to be furries, and you can say that the Zootopia fandom was step 1 of the pipeline that leads to owning a fursuit and a canine butt plug. All three were probably true.

            I just realized i typed this whole comment in past tense, but uh, the Zootopia fandom still exists. And r/zootopia still exists. I don’t know i don’t have object permanence

        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.

      Yea, my partner says my superpower is my spacial recognition. For me it’s totally natural to disassemble things and spin them around in my head, for her it’s totally foreign.

      We also don’t both have internal monologs, and we are an extrovert/introvert pairing, so we do tend to talk more about our mental differences, maybe that’s why.

      You are missing out. I’m not really a Tool fan, they are fantastic live. Seen them 4 times, each show was amazingly different. They are very talented musicians.

      But you are absolutely missing out by not giving Lateralus at least a once over. It’s a musical masterpiece. IMO it’s their magnum opus and one of the great musical creations of our generation.

    I can go a very long time without pee’ing, even if I need to.

    Years of undiagnosed, now diagnosed, ADHD has trained me to be able to do this.

    I can kick a gym ball, the large air inflated things, at a wall and land standing on top of it.

      Huh. I was diagnosed and in my 30s, and I pissed myself shortly after starting my meds. There was almost no warning, just zero to a hundred within the course of a minute. Hasn’t happened since, just a heads up.

    In a conflict with most of my friends, I can’t watch short form content and TikToks give me something akin to claustrophoby with an intense urgent want to stop watching it, I guess it’s called sensory overload. On the opposite side, I enjoy old boring movies they can’t stand watching on 1x. That makes me an old man wise of the ways of the past in many conversations, even if I’m younger than the person I talk to.

    I can sleep through the night in the pose of the dead (on the back, hands and legs spread wide) without moving at all.

    My linguistic capabilities let me create a text passing as an original one even when I copypaste and rewrite, that is suddenly a big problem for everyone else in the academia.

    I’ve starred in 1 local govt commercial, have my mustached face in an airport infomercial (around the 40-50s mark) and have some 3-5 seconds of screentime as an extra in 2 different brazilian movies.
