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 second.
I was Time Person of the Year in 2006.
Look at my profile and check my comment count. 😎
I swore you would have used that your name is an anagram of “i anal kok”.
Think that’s high? Check out @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.
I do be seeing you in the comments
I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.
Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.
Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must’ve never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).
Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.
Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there’s not much AC in Finland for the summer…
The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.
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?
Hahaha, I used to run; I had the same question! I can’t run anymore because knee pain :(
Communicated from California to E. Europe via SSB during solar maximum aka worst possible RF condition’s with only 5 watts. Plus I communicate about 200 miles with a half dead 9v battery and and 100miliwatts. ✅QRP / QRPp
I can eyeball the smallest available Tupperware that will fit the leftovers, every time.
Bro was a hermit crab in his past life
I’d join your online course
Same.
I have come so far in life yet have changed so little
I’m the same as I was when I was six years old
And, oh my God, I feel so damn old
I don’t really feel anything
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?
Yeah, I’m a sideshow performer (fka a freakshow). This is my fav video of the drill because of the audience reaction
I’d love to see that but I don’t have an Instagarm account—would you happen to have it hosted anywhere else?

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
When baking, I take the right amount of butter with 1g of accuracy.
Baking or “baking”?
Actual baking with an oven.
The more butter you add the righter it becomes.
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.
Inspired by another comment, I’ve been to the mountain that Monkey (of the 80’s TV show) “hatched” on. It is more of a hill really, and it’s brown, not black as shown in the intro.
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.
Definitely add to resume.
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 :)
My landlord pays me to live in my apartment rather than the other way around.
Huh… care to elaborate how this deal came into existence?
I’m the building superintendent.
Ah, superintendent Chalmers. Nice weather we’re having.
i spent a month learning to shower in cold only water just to do it. Much respect for you being able to maintain that i was quite happy to get back on the warm water after the month was over!
I ran over 1000 miles in 2023! I’ve taken an 8.5" circumference toy anally!
I hope these two achievements aren’t related.
Congrats on your personal achievements, as I reckon they both required quite some determination, training and stretching!
Were those things related… thematically or chronologically?
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
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
