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 can turn off my inner monologue at will. Complete silence but it limits the complexity of my thoughts.
That’s really awesome, that is one of the main goals of most meditation techniques! Sometimes I‘d really like to do that as well.
Have you actively worked on this or were you just able to do this?
Is it difficult to „turn your thoughts back on“?
Some people can’t turn off their inner monologue?
To me it’s as easy as it is to stop talking. I feel like I’m misunderstanding you.
If I try to stop thinking I just ended up thinking “stopthinkingstopthinking shutupshutupshutup”
Yeah, for some (like me) it’s almost impossible.
But then, there are also people that do not have any inner monologue at all…
I have actually been held at gunpoint many times in a dictatorship, by the leftists dictator forces.
I have actually gone through famine for years caused by leftists, and survived to tell the tale.
I also have survived a leftist dictatorship and escaped successfully from one
Weird flex but okay
I can give up almost anything save for breathing, eating, and my dogs.
Save them for lunch later, smort
That I got into the main reading room in the library of Congress… most only go through the tourist area.
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.
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?
Oh. Lol. Weird…
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).
Nice! I made an almost full recreation of Sellers of Catan in 3D complete with multilayer. 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.
Heey there it is!
Thank you :-)
I can lick my elbow.
No way
Are you a giraffe? FOUND THE GIRAFFE, GUYS!
I have never not gotten the job.
I’m second.
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…
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 eyeball the smallest available Tupperware that will fit the leftovers, every time.
Bro was a hermit crab in his past life
Communicated from California to E. Europe via SSB during solar maximum aka worst possible RF condition’s with only 5 watts. Plus I communicate about 200 miles with a half dead 9v battery and and 100miliwatts. ✅QRP / QRPp
I go to bed at 9pm everyday, and get 8hrs+ of sleep.
Fucking superpower right there, straight out of a videogame
Alright tone down the bragging, we get it , you’re “well balanced” or whatever
I need this so much
I haven’t seen any Star Wars movie.
Huh. That is weird but it shouldn’t be.
Watch the first 6 and then stop
That’s fine, but don’t make it a personality trait.
