I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • They’re blocking your way? Just shove them out of the way.

    That would be profoundly un-british of me. I did nudge someone out of the way once in a crowded space and, akthough he forgsve me, i kept on getting weird looks from my superior for the next few months, which i chalk up to them thinking I'm an asshole. I also onoy did it because i thought they were deliberately ignoring me

  • Ah so you're saying that good posture is ultimately down to whether your nipples are pointing at peoples faces? But that doesn't work for people with really large breasts, right?

  • IDK if we have one or several dozen in our house but one of the little bastards was watching me watching it this morning. It’s infuriating.

    They're legitimately scary because of how fast they move! But mice seem quite similar to humans in a lot of ways. They live communally in tribes, they sing, they tidy things up in their surroundings and they help each other perform childbirth. We freak out about the mountains of mouse droppings but i suppose it just shows they're clean enough to have a designated shitting pile.

    What are you using as bait? Chocolate is best. If it's a humane mouse trap they do tend to shit in it a lot so you have to hose it down outside before uaing again

  • Wow. Just wow. This is more shocking than when i learned the truth about dolphins.

    So, rule of nature: if it looks cute, it's not. Cats are genocidal maniacs. Koalas and Dolphins are rapists. Hamsters are locked into an eternal gladiatoral tournament with the rest of their species and will kill each other in brutal ways for no reason.

  • Seagulls seem cute in some circumstances but then act like they're turned into insane zombies from all the human food they eat. Sea rats.

  • You're completely right. I've had some which just cook like that anyway, and they're blissful compared to the curnchu toasted ones. I'll be ttying this with every bagel from now on

  • The shows dialogue becomes bloated with convoluted bullshit lines such as "The DOW is over 50,000 right now! It's over 50,000 dollare, you should be GRATEFUL, and we shojld be talking about that!"

  • When I figured out that a lot of people are going to spend their better years, wasting away, working jobs they hate every 40 hours of the week and 8 hours a day or longer.

    Yep it's so grim

  • Do you ever feel like you need to cry but can't?

    Jump

  • Yes I think ocassionally. I used to cry a LOT as a kid so now it just feels like my tear glands are broken or overused

  • Basically songs stick in our head when we can't finish them, so songs with really subtle endings or heavily repeated phrases will stick the most.

  • Absolutely. And in a more general sense, whenever negotiating with businessmen, tell yourself they're nasty rotten pirates beforehand and throughout the process. Visualise them having peglegs, hooks, eyepatches and battered old sea hats. Do NOT give in, do NOT name that number before they do.

  • I honestly hate mcdonalds anyway, but the range of stuff I've tried there is very limited - maybe if i had a big mac I'd succumb to the MiccyD.

    For me it just feels like food designed to make you sick, either because you're compelled to eat too much or because it's sooooo unnatural.

    There was this movie on Netflix called Spiderhead where they're testing drugs including one that makes people overeat until they hurl, and watching it reminded me exactly how i felt whenever I went there as a kid. I steer clear now. Trauma!

  • I think that's good advice! We should all try and be a bit more attuned to our senses.

    Helps with personal hygiene, too 🤫😅. But - at least for me - a disconnect with our sense of smell largrly comes from living in a city, spending too much time indoors, and spending too much time in our own space which smells like us. So having bad hygiene makes it harder to smell which makes it harder to identify that we have bad hygiene!!

    But yeah, I follow my nose a lot more than other people and it makes the world a much more interesting place. People who've been to a lot of food markets, perhaps at christmas, understand this.

  • I sprained my ankle once trying to dodge out of the way of a classmate I was trying to avoid when i saw them at a park 😂 What you say is correct. Kind pf wish I'd gotten it checked at the time but it could've been worse and I rested soon after hobbling out of view

  • Thanks, i was worried it would be too widespread and nobody would find it remarkable 😂

    Erin in The Office does it too.
