Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.
I’m now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest…
I dunno, I don’t really do guilt beyond truly bad acts done by choice.
That being said, I am a chocolate milk fiend.
I have to strictly limit myself or I’d drink nothing else, and not eat anything useful nutritionally.
Chocolate in general is my one true vice. I don’t drink, I don’t use recreational drugs, I’m monogamous (and happily so), I quit tobacco, and even caffeine beyond trace amounts in decaf. But you try an take chocolate out of my life, and I will fuck you up.
I’ll even accept Hershey’s if there’s nothing else available.
But chocolate milk? Fuck me running. Cold, sweet, chocolatey goodness. I will walk right the fuck over infants and kittens if there’s a cup on the other side. Puppies? I dunno, I think I’d try to step between them, but I’m not making promises.
Home made is incredible. But my particular weaknesses are the pet trumoo, and the promised land midnight. They use thickeners that up the silky texture. The promised land stuff is meant to be more like melted ice cream, and it succeeds.
Which, don’t even ask me how quick I can kill a pint of hagendaz chocolate. Don’t blink is all I’ll say there.
I have no guilt involved there, but holy fuck is it an indulgence.
Oh, man. I’m in my 30s, and now that my son is 6.5yo and has found his passion for chocolate milk, I rediscovered mine. We purposefully limit how much we buy every time we do the groceries, or we’d both be drinking the thing day and night. I’m slightly lactose intolerant, on top of it…
So Troi is half betazoid, and grew up with her mother on betazed. Where, presumably, there was no chocolate.
I know I know they have replicators and whatever. I just find it amusing that chocolate from Earth is so appealing as a flavor that less than a hundred years after joining the federation, Betazoid children are growing up loving chocolate frequently enough that Troi develops a strong taste for it.
I feel you on everything but the thickeners, I can’t drink the ones with that, feels weird.
There’s a local brand in Vermont named monument farms - they make an insanely good whole chocolate milk. If you ever get a chance to have it go for it. I’m lactose intolerant but when I lived in Vermont I accepted all consequences to occasionally enjoy a nice tall glass of that.
VT eh? I was considering moving to Barre is that a good place? Remote worker, moving for scenery and just like VT.
Great place. Good views, good people and town hall day. Barre is relatively dense and in an impressive valley - I haven’t spent an immense amount of time there but the services are all there for the capital and it gets to benefit from that.
have you tried chocolate milk flavored protein shake? or does that not quite hit the same, for you?
I, the King Of The Internet, hereby grant you permission to have nice things every once in a while.
don’t knock the choccy milk protein shake powder, that stuff can be pretty good sometimes. it’s mostly just that you gotta shell out a buttload for it most of the time, for the stuff that actually tastes good.
I had to take powdered whey protein for medical reasons and it isn’t that bad, but it isn’t a milkshake from McDonald’s either.
Not the same at all, but that was my preferred flavor back when I was lifting :)
I don’t know how regional this is, but Prairie Farms has a line of “premium” milks sold in small 1 serving bottles (and occasionally pints too) that I’ve only found at gas stations. The chocolate milk of that variety is really good but the strawberry milk is the nectar of the gods
I use light mode on Discord, and just about everything really. I don’t like the feeling of being in a gamer cave. I always have a bunch of lamps on, and light themes too.
A valid positon but also…
How dare you?
Personally I use light mode on everything work related and dark mode for everything personal. Helps my brain separate the two
I always thought the common way to do it was light theme for when the room has light and dark theme when it was dark in the room.
I pick my nose.
I bet you do too, don’t judge.
Or do: It doesn’t really matter what you think of me because I’m not a telepath.
There are two types of people in the world: People who pick their nose, and liars.
Seriously though, slowly pulling out one of those boogers that tickles your brain is a unique joy.
I once had a bloody nose while walking, I was about a half hour away from home. Since I don’t carry tissues, I did what made the most sense and just held my thumb over my nostril. Once I got home I grabbed a tissue and took my thumb away while leaning over the bathroom sink. Nothing came out, but my nose was plugged. I twisted the tissue and inserted it, removing it pulled out a 3 inch long bloodclot cast of the inside of my sinus that fell onto the palm of my weak hand. It was like a slug made of blood. The feeling of it slithering from my face was what I imagine to be the closest approximation of what the loving embrace of a benevolent god feels like while cumming. It was a transcendental natural high that no experience has come close to.
Oh my goodness. And when it comes out the nose is completely clear and blood free. Sometimes I miss having nosebleeds.
This post is a thing of beauty
I’m more curious to hear your accent.
It varies depending on what I’ve eaten.
I’ll do you one better. I pick my nose then sometimes (not always) have a lil snack :)
I used to be quilty of that aswell but I still judge you.
I haven’t actually done this in over
twentythirty (fuck I’m old) years, but while thinking about it, I recalled my childhood…I used to dip extra buttery popcorn in chocolate milk. I fucking loved it. Honestly the thought of it makes me slightly nauseous now…
That’s fucking nasty
When I was a kid I would take cold hot dogs and grind them on the wheels of my toy truck, take the ground hot dog meat and make a taco out of it with American cheese slices.
Microplastics, yum!
And probably lead paint
This reminds me of how I used to eat a spoonful of chunky peanut butter and then add a glug of maple syrup
That sounds really good. I think I’ll try that.
I sometimes do similar but unsalted mixed nuts instead of peanut butter.
Raw spaghetti dipped in smooth peanut butter.
Childhood is strange.
I’m trying to picture this. You eat it like cereal?
nope. I ate it with a bag of popcorn next to me and a glass of chocolate milk next to me. I would take like three popped corns in my fingers and dip them in the milk like an oreo and let them soak up the chocolately milkey goodness.
I never got the appeal but they do sell chocolate covered popcorn so you may be on to something.
I smoke weed every day. Casual marijuana consumption is definitely socially acceptable here (I’m in Canada where it’s legal) but I’ve been high more often than not for the past 8 years or so.
Same here! Look up CHS. It’s awfully rare, and IIRC is more prevalent in men than women. It sucks. A T-break every now and again is healthy for the body, mind and spirit.

Rookie numbers! Going on 30 years myself down here and it isn’t even legal!

I bathe 2-3 times a day. A quick one in the morning to get me out of the house, or I just skip it if I don’t have time. Cycle to work, real shower there. Then a nice long bath in the evening where I just soak and watch anime. Or browse Lemmy.
There’s nothing socially unacceptable about this. This is environmentally unacceptable
I know. But… I don’t know how to not do it and either not make my bed smell or smell at the office.
Taking 2-3 showers a day when you’re working up a sweat isn’t killing the environment, don’t feel bad about it. If you’re worried about your personal water consumption then reducing the amount of meat/dairy you eat and not participating in fast fashion will do more than never showering again ever would.
Ah then I still regularly wear the clothes I bought 10 years ago, patched armpit holes and all!
Couldn’t you compromise and take a shower in the morning instead? Certainly a lot less water used than drawing a whole bathtub. Also it’s quicker to do when in a hurry. (Though I would probably skip the first shower if I’m just going to go work out and shower again right afterwards anyway)
It’s not a whole bathtub.
You let the water run for a minute, and then stop so that it’s just a 3-inch base to get warm in.
You watch some anime, read some articles, do something with your mind for 15 minutes.
Once the water starts to get cold, you let it run for a minute, and then stop again so that it’s about 6 inches deep.
Wait 15 minutes, repeat, wait 15 minutes, repeat. After about an hour, the water is just covering your groin. I don’t know how many litres that is, but it’s not very much.
Compare that to a 15 minute shower where all the water and heat goes immediately down the drain.
Fair enough, that sounds reasonable
But I am amazed you can do an hour long bath in the morning, I would probably fall right back asleep lol
Bath at night
Do you live in a very humid place?
Not particularly
I like that end of the day bath too. Must be the Japanese in me. I feel some guilt over the water usage, but then again, I’m soaking in there for half an hour. If I did the same in a shower, I’d probably use even more water right? Also, the more you weigh, the more water you displace, meaning you need less to fill the tub. So it’s a rare case of weight gain actually reducing resource consumption. Thank you Archimedes!
I feel bad about the water usage too, so I limit the length of the showers to no more than 5 minutes. The baths can be an hour long.
That sounds nice, but if I did that I would be a dry flaky pile of dust.
how come?
What the heck is a plain dorito
A tortilla chip.
Doritos are to tortilla chips as Potato Chips are to Flavored Potato Chips. They both rely on a dusting of flavor on a type of chip.
The flavoured kind, sure. But I’m talking about these - do these not qualify as a proper tortilla chip? They are just Corn, Rapeseed Oil, Salt and Anti-oxidants.
Wow TIL. Around here there are so many plain chip options, and Doritos are exclusively flavor blasted.
Blasphemy
It’s even weirder. Not only was that the original flavor and the namesake of the brand, it was also the first brand of tortilla chips sold outside socal
It’s a European thing lol
The comments suggest most people here have an incredibly low threshold for both guilt—and pleasure.
Yeah, a lot of these aren’t socially unacceptable at all. Some of it is just using mass-produced products for their intended purpose. It’s just the anxiety talking.
Sometimes I’ll swing by Starbucks before my hour long commute to work I feel guilty each time because all but one coffee shop in town closed down but we have like 7 Starbucks now, one literally across the street from the other
This is a great reply because fuck Starbucks. Love it!
Whenever I get Starbucks I feel guilty because they are union busters. I’ve been making a lot more coffee at home.
Cigars. It’s a common topic of judgement, as if I don’t know it’s an expensive hobby with increased risk of cancer. I just love them, and the rituals involved.
I’m an academic who no longer smokes (thanks grad school…) You meet a huge variety of folks in smoker’s pits. The folks a university relies on a hell of a lot more than at least half of faculty. I’m thankful for the daily, sometimes hourly, rituals that taught me that.
I quit smoking years ago but smoked for a long time. If I ever go back to smoking I think it would be a pipe. I did it once or twice and it was extremely relaxing.
I recently picked up a pipe. It has all the rituals and escapism of a cigar, without the hour-long commitment.
That being said, sometimes being”occupied” for an hour is part of the appeal. Each has their place ime.
I knew a very smart manager who quit smoking but still used to go hang out in the smoking area just to stay in touch with everything. I’ve learn more in 10 minute conversations while smoking with coworkers than entire week long seminars.
A lot of people are saying porn, drugs and alcohol which sure i indulge in but not really in excess. I would if i let myself own any but i dont. My biggest indulgence is media, i consume slop in excess, i let myself fall into meaningless entertainment. Usually drama, youtube drama, it makes me feel so gross because i know how much of a waste of time it is. I could be studying or spending quality time with the people i love but instead i just listen to drivel.
I know it seems relatively harmless but i hate that about myself. I dont even enjoy it much, i just do it becuase id rather do that than nothing
Are you introverted? If you are, it sounds like you just need some time to recharge on your own.
But then if you don’t enjoy the dramas then maybe you could try actively seeking out a solo activity that you do enjoy? Because it sounds like it might just be a procrastination activity which isn’t usually as rewarding as we want and you’ll feel better actively taking time out to do something you truly want to do.
It is a procrastination ativity unfortunately, my school work is hard and i need breaks but dont have anything i really enjoy at the moment. I dont know what id want to do and have time to do rn
My time is split between work and spending time with my girlfriend which while i enjoy isnt personal time yk?
As someone who watches +5 hours of YouTube a day I’d say the main issue with this stuff is the ease of access. I can easily lost track of time and spend hours organizing screws in my tool shed but that mean I need to actually decide to go there first. That takes effort. Sitting in front of my PC and opening youtube (or xvideos) doesn’t take effort.
I had similar problems and finally realized it was a symptom called executive dysfunction. I’d do easy dopamine drips like video games or watching YouTube videos instead of projects I want to do or tasks I need to do
Here’s a minor one:
Dry ramen. Crush up the bag a bit, dump in the powder, shake and enjoy.
What are you, twelve?
No, why do cool adults require their noodles so hydrated?
I use to bring these on hikes and field exercises. It does have a lot of sodium but if you want something cheap, light weight, and on the calorie heavy side dry Ramen is great!
I don’t even use the flavor packet when it’s dry, I save it for the next time I actually cook the noodles.
I just like the crunchy.
I had a seat mate in math class that would do that, and sneaky eat during lecture. She brought an extra for me sometimes. Flavored noodles are a game changer.
Picking my nose, then eating the booger.
I am in my 30s.
This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It’s healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

I know this will seem like a joke but legitimately asking: what is this exactly?
I love black licorice. Developed a taste for it as a kid because it was the only candy available at my grandparents house. Now if I’m hanging out with buddies and I don’t want them mooching off my snacks, I’ll bring black licorice. I’ve only met one other person that wanted some and I was happy to share haha
Can I have some?
I love it too, I buy some of the wallaby stuff now and again.
Just don’t eat a ton in any given day.
Edit - Oh shit:
In past warnings, the FDA notes: “If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.”
Whoa! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing this information here. That’s wild
