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 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).

        2006: “You” is Time Person of the Year

        2015-2024: OH MY GOD SOCIAL MEDIA IS BAD FOR DEMOCRACY AND WE NEED TO BAN IT FOR CHILDREN AND MISINFORMATION AND PORNOGRAPHY AND HATE SPEECH AND FASCISM AND (“(&)§$()”§&(&$(")§&$

        I was a preteen in 2006 and still hold the optimist views about technology and its democratization that so many people held in 2006, but it seems I’m nearly the only one who even remembers them.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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’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
