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 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
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
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!
Hello from 2:23 am. I resent you so hard right now.
Once you’re >25 this is just a flex
For the 2022 Microsoft Excel World Championship I downloaded the problems the moment they were released to the contestants and public and solved as many as I could in real time. I would have finished 5th.
You’d better be well paid, whatever you do. Like politics, all the wrong people go into Excel.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m not, but I’m doing my duty so there’s that.
Now that there’s python in excel, I wonder how that competition will change.
Yeah… And what about copilot?
In visual studio, a program for software developers, one of the type of templates you can start up and make a program with is in “blazor webassembly”. One of Microsoft’s fancy new things.
In there, right after starting it, there is some example code thrown in your face. Code that contains pi… with a rounding error.
So I, being the insistent autistic nerd I am, made a pull request and had it fixed. And I still wonder how so many people looked at that and it bothered absolutely no one enough to go and fix it.
We truly live in the future. You opened a PR for a Microsoft product.
A petty, nerdy, unnecessary pr.
That’s how we as species approach perfection :)
Oo, me too. I added a feature for submodules in their
gitimplementation for VSCode. I have contributed to tons of the FOSS software I use, feels good to give back.Sounds like a big feature, was it a lot of work?
Definitely add to resume.
I can eyeball the smallest available Tupperware that will fit the leftovers, every time.
Bro was a hermit crab in his past life
Or a cat.
I’d join your online course
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.
Wow, I can do this too! I thought it was just a human thing, like being able to evenly split something in half or hang something on the wall level without a level.
Same.
I haven’t seen any Star Wars movie.
the original 3 are good (a new hope/empire/return of the jedi) and the rest are bullshit
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
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…
Huh. That is weird but it shouldn’t be.
Watch the first 6 and then stop
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.
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.
That’s fine, but don’t make it a personality trait.
I was Time Person of the Year in 2006.
I love this dog and always forget where he comes from
From a mother dog and father dog who loved each other very much.
That’s wholesomest thing ever read in Lemmy
2006: “You” is Time Person of the Year
2015-2024: OH MY GOD SOCIAL MEDIA IS BAD FOR DEMOCRACY AND WE NEED TO BAN IT FOR CHILDREN AND MISINFORMATION AND PORNOGRAPHY AND HATE SPEECH AND FASCISM AND (“(&)§$()”§&(&$(")§&$
I was a preteen in 2006 and still hold the optimist views about technology and its democratization that so many people held in 2006, but it seems I’m nearly the only one who even remembers them.
You’re not the only one! I think it’s worth noting that back then, “social media” was a new model in which the viewers provided the content, a democratizing force which broke the hold of a small priesthood of editors, producers, and owners over the message we hear.
Now, so-called social media is synonymous with The Algorithm. That is, the powerful and connected have figured out how to tame it and gatekeep information again, this time in a far more insidious way. It still has the veneer of populism, but scratch the surface, and the owners largely control what you see.
It’s darkly hilarious to read discussions on here in which people deny that Lemmy is social media at all, rather than an example of the ur-social media, the good kind.
Yeah, not going to defend “algorithms”.
I wonder how we managed on web forums where the entire “algorithm” was… thread bumping, and that’s it.
I ran over 1000 miles in 2023! I’ve taken an 8.5" circumference toy anally!
Are the two related?
Only in that they happened before my life fell apart several months ago and they’re about the only interesting things about me I could come up with
Congrats on your personal achievements, as I reckon they both required quite some determination, training and stretching!
Were those things related… thematically or chronologically?
Not really, I’d started running like 2 years before starting toying and running with stuff it would end up chafing you terribly. Life kind of came to a crashing halt and I haven’t run since March and still can’t really fit half the things I used to
Were those by choice or necessity?
Hahaha definitely by choice, you’re not fitting something that size in someone unless they’ve worked up to it
I hope these two achievements aren’t related.
Only in that they happened before life got really terrible
I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m in a pretty bad place myself, and have been for what feels like forever. I hope things get better for you.
Possible interpretations:
- They’ve run a distance of 1,000 miles while wearing a butt plug.
- The 1000 miles is the distance the device has moved back and forth within their rectum.
Nah, too hard to run with a plug in without it chafing you terribly
I can cook minute rice in 56 seconds. I try to only use my powers for good.
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 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 can not puke
No gag reflex you say? 😇
This is genuinely so cool.
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 work full home office
WFH gang rise up
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.
Some code I wrote is buried in an archive storage underground in the Arctic
If you had some code in an active GitHub repo before February 2020 you may too, https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/
That’s heckin’ cool, but why is it archived?
I think the idea is that it’s like the Global Seed Vault but for knowledge (and it’s physically close, too). Maintain copies of important things in such a way that they are designed to survive ~any catastrophe.
Oh cool!
I can drive as long as possible without touching my phone.
Isn’t this like… idk… normal intelligent human behavior?
haha intelligent and normal are usually two different categories of drivers
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).
Heey there it is!
Thank you :-)
Nice! I made an almost full recreation of Settlers of Catan in 3D complete with multiplayer. 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.
Cool!
We should make a club of mental developers 😋
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.
Not too bad. But to be honest, I started mixing trail running into my schedule. It’s fun, better for your joints (even though I’ve never had problems), and as a runner gets older, longer distances become more appealing. I’m beginning to consider some easier ultras, and they are usually on trails.
I was a fairly regular runner up until about year ago, and I’ve not had too many knee or ankle issues either. Trail running sounds fun. Might give it a go (once it’s not fucking freezing here).
Hahaha, I used to run; I had the same question! I can’t run anymore because knee pain :(
There was an arrow involved…
This reads like a math problem.
“Assuming a linear decrease of physical age through running, in which year did the physical age match the real age?”That’s actually a great insight! I remember opening a botyle of wine to celebrate that.
Just for fun, years ago i did a linear chart for my marathon times, and estimated that about two years ago I should have broken the sound barrier.
Reminds me I still need to make a new set of running t-shirts
- I plan on outliving you
- Runners are objectively crazy
- I run to escape death
I’m on a sabbatical from running over the holidays but I would routinely run 10k and normally do about 30k a week.
For anyone reading this, heart health aside it does wonders for your mental wellbeing.
Where are you having them made? I’ve been looking for a print shop that would do the print on the back, where it’s more likely that someone would read them when I’m running.
Dunno probably Google it. Find a printshop on my area like “Newmarket Ontarians t-shirt printing” and realize it’s ass so instead go “Newmarket printing” and reach out to the top 10 and see who can offer or provide a contact.
The future is “I know a guy”" fuck this internet shit.
Human nature should be “yo I need my books balanced” and a"sure I can help"
The problem is everyone googles shit. Just ask your goddamn neighbor first. Chat may it not help but chat are idiots. Fuck chat.
Meet your goddamn neighbours everyone. Those are the people that matter in life.
Edit - I’m drunk and high AF so take my opinion for what it is. I’m out here wildin’ listening to Tierra Whack doing “Black Magic Woman” thinking this world ain’t ready for her. I’m fucking right btw. Y’all fuckers ain’t ready for her.
