That depends on the person. I’m autistic and for me it’s just a moment to minimise stimuli and recharge a little bit. No fear involved, just a little overstimulated and in need of a reset.

Ever since getting COVID in 2020 my nose is basically 2 like 70% of the time. Painfully dry, completely useless at filtering anything. It depends greatly on the humidity and temperature though. In spring/summer it tends to behave a bit better.

As an asexual (who really finds sex yucky): guess I’ll die

I hope for this person that they switch direction every now and then. Constantly turning in the same direction doesn’t sound optimal

Okay, but have you ever tried being sad even though rationally speaking everything is going super well? ( Don’t worry about me, I managed to get out of that vibe :3 )

You can get cat ears in the gym?! Maybe I’ll actually start going again

Yeah that’s probably why it’s so noticeable to me as well. I’m not exactly counting calories yet, but I’ve been trying to reduce the amount of excess carbs and calories in my meals. So seeing this is quite the shock.

600 cal?! Sjeesh. Puts into perspective how overkill desserts like these are. I just ran for an hour and (according to my watch) burned like 800-900 cal, which I don’t fully trust. One of these bad boys would probably undo all of the hard work

What’s wrong? I find this a reasonable result. Most people looking for megabyte to bytes are actually looking for mebibytes, since the mega- prefix is literally just times a million but a lot of programs actually list mebibytes as “megabytes”.

Idk, I’m not really into pop, hip hop, etc. and I also get the feeling that they weren’t as big here in the Netherlands as they were in the states. I’m also very much on the young end of the “millennial” range. I’ve just listened some of their stuff, and I recognise some of it vaguely. But definitely not enough not remember their name.

Nooooo. Maybe gen Z will accept me (as long as they can keep calling me a boomer)

Might be, I was born in the mid 90’s, so I’m quite young for a millennial I guess.

I’d like to see anyone build a plane, computer, or any other complex object without having some way to represent variable values in math and without using any math derived using variables. It’s kind of a fundamental thing to have. As a programmer I do sometimes get a bit annoyed with math people using single character variables everywhere though.

EDIT: Additionally, the use of the Greek alphabet is kinda handy. After my first years in university I started to be able to finally decode the stuff my Greek family gave me. Though initially it sucked, because I understood the math but had no idea what character the “gamma” or “lambda” were.

I’m a millennial and I’ve never heard of Cypress Hill. Looks like it’s more of an American thing after I looked it up.

I don’t understand how other countries manage to remain civilised without eating a broodje hagelslag regularly.

Hmmm yeah, now that you mention it I do remember a few occasions of launching soy milk throughout the kitchen. Still I prefer it over the second one though. After it’s been opened once, it’s much less in the way.

Many of the new bottle caps I encounter will actively push back into the closed position, meaning I have to keep them out of the way when pouring if I don’t want to pour over the cap. Since I tend to encounter them on drink cartons rather than bottles, because I don’t drink soda etc, it becomes even more annoying. Bottles you can turn whichever way, but drink cartons need to be kept at a certain angle for optimal pouring. Quite often the cap is in the way and there isn’t really a nice place to put it.

This is even more frustrating because I never lost these caps anyway, I always threw them away with the packaging. I understand that it probably helps in the bigger picture, but for me personally it solves nothing and is incredibly annoying.

Edit: two examples

This one is fine, it snaps into a position that’s handy and out of the way:

This one is very annoying. It’ll stay in this position and requires constant force to keep out of this position. When opening or closing the packaging the attachment point also rotes, meaning it’s always in the wrong place:

I guess it’s similar, but here in the Netherlands we have “fresh” pizza’s at the supermarket. They’re kind of in-between frozen pizza’s and a pizza delivery in terms of price, but imo they’re actually by far the best. For 6-7 euros you get a pretty big pizza with fresh toppings, that’s done faster than a frozen pizza or waiting for delivery, and also tastes really good. In the Netherlands it’s common to live very close to a supermarket, so for me it’s be like a 2 min bike ride to get myself a pizza.

True. Guess I misread. I’ve already switched to 36 hours and I totally aim to go lower once I earn more. Work to live, not live to work

Disagree. I used to spend time on more energy-intensive hobbies like programming and music production. But I’ve had mono and COVID in 2020 and I’ve never felt the same thereafter. Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy
