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.

    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.

    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 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.

      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.

    After over half a century of action, a lot of it in “extreme sports”, and countless injuries, I have yet to break a bone.

    I have a hyper sensitive sense of smell. Sometimes useful, most often a nuisance.

    At work the roof had small leak few years ago, I could smell the wet concrete several days before the water reached the ceiling of the upper floor office and became visible. I told my boss about the leak as soon as I had first smelled it and located the correct room. “There is no leak here, you’re just imagining things” was the response after I showed the room to my boss. “There is and we shall see in a few days.” After 4 or 5 days the ceiling started dripping water and I received an apology.

    I’ve been able to mentally bypass most of the awful smells of the world and people around me as long as I can remember, so it isn’t so bad. But after a few drinks the mental filter turns off and I can smell everything, including my own metabolized alcohol infused sweat. That is not fun at all.

      Are you like the person that posted they can smell ants? Dude was able to find a single ant by sense of smell.

        I do not know. I have never actively tried to smell ants nor had them inside any apartments I’ve lived in. I shall test this when summer returns one day. But I do remember that the ant guy wrote about having some genetic quirk that ables him to register some compound that’s out normal human range of smell.

          actively tr[ying] to smell ants

          Is my funniest mental image for today, thanks. Just some person outside creeping around the ground vigorously sniffing ants.

      I was a super smeller but lost the sense during Covid. It still hasn’t fully returned. I have good days where I’ll surprise myself by picking up something subtle and off days where popcorn smells like vomit or skunks smell like brake dust. I was considering a sommelier course prior to this.

        Yeah, Covid was a freaky experience. I got off easy, no fever or other symptoms, I just realized one day that I was unable to smell freshly cut grass. Then I realized that I did not smell anything at all.

        My sense of smell started coming slowly back after a few days and I can’t tell if it’s diminished or not. But after Covid every brand of whiskey smells and tastes like vomit to me, so there was a price to pay. Also the smell of someone eating rice cakes became utterly disgusting, as well as yogurt. Before Covid I barely registered these two.

    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.

    Everything about me is a weird flex

    • I invented two novel fire eating tricks, one of which involves my split tongue
    • I can scratch the back of my skull through my nose with an icepick. I can also put a running power drill in my nose or feed a silicone tube through and out the mouth
    • I often shave with a torch or lighter

      That… raises some questions 😅

      Can I assume that you’re some kind of performer or is this stuff you’re just doing as a hobby or when bored?

      Did you mean „inside of your skull“ or actually the back of your skull? Cause if it’s the latter, I thought there would be some… err… critical components in the way of the icepick?

      Was there any reason you tried these things or dis you just go „hmm, how about…?“

      Also - this is the most pressing one - is there a video of you with your powerdrill?

      I didn’t realize there were fire eating tricks (other than a touch transfer or dragon’s breath), but I only dabbled in it ~20 years ago-- my main focus was with fire staff. What’s the trick that doesn’t involve your tongue?

        Vapor tricks have come a very long way over the last 20 years. Look up Joseph Kerr if you wanna see insane shit. I’ve met him before, he’s super friendly.

        Fire staff was my first prop :P

          I don’t have insta and your account is age restricted so I can’t see it. The Joseph Kerr stuff looks cool though. Also saw some other vids of maintaining fire in the mouth for long durations-- cool stuff.

          Wish there was a community near me so I could get back into fire stuff.

    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).
