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've starred in 1 local govt commercial, have my mustached face in an airport infomercial (around the 40-50s mark) and have some 3-5 seconds of screentime as an extra in 2 different brazilian movies.

I've actively moderated the Zootopia subreddit almost since its inception. We did a lot of cool stuff but, uh, moderating a subreddit is not the kind of thing you brag about. Anyway, i quit this year.

Also i have every single r/place-related medal because i helped organize artworks. That's not any better is it?

Not here, anyway

I can turn off my inner monologue at will. Complete silence but it limits the complexity of my thoughts.

Do you meditate? This is pretty much my meditative state.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

I don't, but I've suspected that's what I'm supposed to do if I ever do it. Lol

Unrelated but I felt really proud the first time I had an inner monologue in English (not my first language).

Now I realize that my inner monologue language switch according to the context, if I'm thinking about family it will be in French, thinking about work and it switch to English.

So this means you hear your thoughts as if they were on speaker, right? I don't, which is a form of aphantasia, which i also have.

I this is why i mumble to myself all the time, my brain has no speakers

I can give up almost anything save for breathing, eating, and my dogs.

Sometimes, my sneezes smell like buttercups.

Sometimes I'll sneeze, and people will ask who is wearing perfume, or comment that someone's clothes smell like they were fresh out of the wash. What's actually happening is they're breathing my spores, and they love it.
