This was a really recent realization for me. I am one of the people who can voluntarily activate the tensor tympani muscles in my ears to create a low level rumbling sound. I recently tried explaining this to someone else and they still think I am making it up.
Dihydrogen monoxide.
Literally kills thousands of people a year.
Just the peel? That is going to make every other part of acquiring and eating a banana really weird.
“Sorry, I already have plans after after work.”
There is no need to mention that your plan is to go home and relax.
Oh God you just reminded me of a funny story. I had a boss that was probably 600lbs+. He was huge. The bathroom was a single occupant situation, and the toilet was positioned what I would consider a normal distance from the wall next to it. Typical distance to allow reach to the to dispenser.
This monster of a human had literally crushed a crater into the drywall from sitting on the toilet and being pushed up against wall. Every time I used the bathroom and saw it I laughed a little. I think I was just amazed this person could actually function.
Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn’t seem to believe that I had never seen it.
There was a burrito shop that had a frequent customer card that you could use to earn points towards a free menu item. You could register the card online and for whatever reason you could add multiple cards to the same account.
A friend of mine realized that if you registered a new card they would give you a decent chunk of points just for signing up, then you could merge that account in with your existing account and get free points.
Every chance he got he would grab handfuls of the cards, activate them all, and get tons of free food.
Is it you and your memory just isn’t as good as it used to be?
I found my old TomTom GPS in a box last year. I struggled to find a reason it might be worth keeping. In the end it got recycled.
Back when automated toll booths had baskets to throw coins in, I could easily pay tolls at around 45 mph.
EZ pass eventually became a thing, probably saved me from my own young stupidity.
No microwave, but my hot air popper gets it perfect every time.
Personally, as with a lot of the comments, I’m in the food-prep and make it yourself crowd.
I found a book that dives into the details of when it is and isn’t worth making things from scratch.
It’s called Make the Bread, Buy the Butter.
Honestly, I haven’t read it yet. I bought it and let my mom borrow it immediately, but when I get it back I think it will an interesting read.
Fairly consistently: 3D printing, wood working, amateur radio, RC cars, and cooking.
Also playing with: sewing, tablet weaving, lifting weights, and guitar.
“previously owned”
I’d like to suggest wallet chains and Discman portable cd players get added whoever is making this list.
Yep, exactly this. Wash the plates and silverware now before stuff gets dried on there… Except that casserole dish with the crispy baked on border of crust. That is soaking for a couple hours to save me a little effort. I’ll was every dish but two just because it’ll be easier later.
I’ve got a weird version of "net lazy"motivation. Anything I can do now to make a future task easier, I am strongly motivated to do. Anything that would be easier if I wait for [blank] I will ignore until the ideal moment that would make it the easiest.
It oftentimes leads to peculiar optimizations, but it has worked surprisingly well for me so far.
I have vitaligo. I’m just one person, but I wouldn’t care. Though, perhaps I’m not the best person to ask. Sometimes I forget about it until someone else makes an awkward comment. Personally, I think it’s kinda cool.
Make friends with the guy. He’s got some some stories. True or not, he’s got some stories.
Yep, the same sound as when you yawn. I can make it happen without yawning. Honestly, I can only make it for 5-10 seconds before I get “tired”.
Regarding clicks …I’ve no idea what that one is.
