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’m pretty good at… just about everything. With some rare exceptions, just about every new thing I try, I pick up really quickly, and am pretty good at it. Ice skating, volleyball, stand-up comedy, acting, dancing, singing, gymnastics, hockey, rugby, capoeira, woodworking, drawing, painting, sculpture, chemist, surgery, gardening, swimming/diving… Just a whole bunch of random stuff that I’ve had the opportunity to try and… yeah, I’m pretty good at 'em.
I’ve often thought about being the subject of some sort of “Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe” style show except they challenge me with new tasks/activities to see if they can find something I legitimately suck at.
That’s called being a Dilettante. Jack of all trades, master of none.
No offence intended, but that’s hardly uncommon enough to be show-worthy.

When baking, I take the right amount of butter with 1g of accuracy.
Does it work only with butter?
I‘ve got this in a less accurate but more versatile way: I can do this ±50gr of almost anything
With flour and sugar only because I know how much fits on a spoon. With butter it’s just magic.
My hand has an accuracy of about 0.1-0.2g accuracy. Well, with weed. I haven’t measured how accurate it is with spices or salt or sugar because I never measure those.
Baking or “baking”?
Actual baking with an oven.
The more butter you add the righter it becomes.
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.
Normal, hydrated person can’t go 18 hours without toilet break.
Okay, well I’ll admit. I do pee at gas stations.
Sounds like your whole story is falling apart now!
My personal record is 22 hours.
Interesting, my record is the same.

I run a Arch Linux tier 1 mirror. Somehow mine’s one of the few.
I used to drive a Ford Flex. I was frequently assured of its weirdness.
Start a limo service in Vegas with a fleet for the novelty.

Quite the opposite. I am so used to burn away my migraines, i can last in 60 degrees hot water for a (short) while.
That’s nothing! I can last in 100C water, for a (very short) while
I am a part of a community that writes better stories and more of them with 3d graphics on top of that, spanning 3000 years
Except it’s all in Roblox.
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.
Street food is often the safest anyhow, its the hotels and water you have to worry about
Cash money, that’s where the real danger lurks. Even if you can drink bottled water and eat pre-packaged food, you have to handle the money. And that stuff is really, really nasty in some parts of the world.
I can not puke
No gag reflex you say? 😇
This is genuinely so cool.
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.
The dog-barf…
After a lifetime of allergies, I’m really good at Dracula-sneezing in the least bad direction
Dracula-sneezing?
Sneezing in to your arm (looks like you’re covering your face with a cape like a vampire would).
Uh-uh-uh-von to ACHOO!
Thanks to my allergies I can sneeze with my eyes open, (I don’t close them all the way) I remember people saying that was not possible?
I do this as a power move to intimidate my enemies when the going gets tough.
I go to bed at 9pm everyday, and get 8hrs+ of sleep.
Alright tone down the bragging, we get it , you’re “well balanced” or whatever
Hello from 2:23 am. I resent you so hard right now.
Once you’re >25 this is just a flex
I need this so much
Me too, but I’m too lazy to go to bed. I rather procrastinate till late night, not wanting the day (and my onyl me time) to end. So i go sleep late and wake up grumpy every single day. Yay!
Fucking superpower right there, straight out of a videogame
With that reduced amount of “me time” (he/she time?) I bet OP wouldn’t understand videogame references /s
b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore.
Grew up without hot running water and I can relate. It’s only a problem in some hotels really, where the showers don’t get cold enough.
My weird flex would be being so accustomed to command line that I don’t know how to use well, and get frustrated by, GUI applications.
Someone was probably around for Unix.
Setting environment variables in windows annoys me irrationally.
That is definitely a skill issue
idk, in linux its just adding a line to my bashrc or running a command, but on windows its opening settings, going into a specific page, pressing the advanced button, pressing the next advanced button and then choosing edit system environment variables.
Open Powershell
$env:MyVariable = “HelloWorld”
Done
I haven’t seen any Star Wars movie.
Watch the first 6 and then stop
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.
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.
That’s fine, but don’t make it a personality trait.
the original 3 are good (a new hope/empire/return of the jedi) and the rest are bullshit
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…
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
Huh. That is weird but it shouldn’t be.
I work full home office
2 jobs one office here. WFH squared.
Jelly.
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.
WFH gang rise up
I’m double jointed.
