Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.
I’m now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest…
I use light mode on Discord, and just about everything really. I don’t like the feeling of being in a gamer cave. I always have a bunch of lamps on, and light themes too.
A valid positon but also…
How dare you?
Personally I use light mode on everything work related and dark mode for everything personal. Helps my brain separate the two
I always thought the common way to do it was light theme for when the room has light and dark theme when it was dark in the room.
I haven’t actually done this in over
twentythirty (fuck I’m old) years, but while thinking about it, I recalled my childhood…I used to dip extra buttery popcorn in chocolate milk. I fucking loved it. Honestly the thought of it makes me slightly nauseous now…
That’s fucking nasty
When I was a kid I would take cold hot dogs and grind them on the wheels of my toy truck, take the ground hot dog meat and make a taco out of it with American cheese slices.
Microplastics, yum!
And probably lead paint
This reminds me of how I used to eat a spoonful of chunky peanut butter and then add a glug of maple syrup
Raw spaghetti dipped in smooth peanut butter.
Childhood is strange.
You’re not the only one. One of my favorite college stoner snacks was uncooked shell pasta filled with peanut butter. Sucking the peanut butter out softens the pasta and then you get a nice starchy finish.
That sounds really good. I think I’ll try that.
I sometimes do similar but unsalted mixed nuts instead of peanut butter.
I’m trying to picture this. You eat it like cereal?
nope. I ate it with a bag of popcorn next to me and a glass of chocolate milk next to me. I would take like three popped corns in my fingers and dip them in the milk like an oreo and let them soak up the chocolately milkey goodness.
I never got the appeal but they do sell chocolate covered popcorn so you may be on to something.
Playing stupid phone games. Really mind-numbing, no talent required games. Currently into “Whiteout Survival”. I am over 60 y.o.
It scratches an itch.
A lot of people are saying porn, drugs and alcohol which sure i indulge in but not really in excess. I would if i let myself own any but i dont. My biggest indulgence is media, i consume slop in excess, i let myself fall into meaningless entertainment. Usually drama, youtube drama, it makes me feel so gross because i know how much of a waste of time it is. I could be studying or spending quality time with the people i love but instead i just listen to drivel.
I know it seems relatively harmless but i hate that about myself. I dont even enjoy it much, i just do it becuase id rather do that than nothing
I had similar problems and finally realized it was a symptom called executive dysfunction. I’d do easy dopamine drips like video games or watching YouTube videos instead of projects I want to do or tasks I need to do
Yeah im severely adhd and also have autism, dopamine seeking is like all i do. Trying to do better though
Are you introverted? If you are, it sounds like you just need some time to recharge on your own.
But then if you don’t enjoy the dramas then maybe you could try actively seeking out a solo activity that you do enjoy? Because it sounds like it might just be a procrastination activity which isn’t usually as rewarding as we want and you’ll feel better actively taking time out to do something you truly want to do.
It is a procrastination ativity unfortunately, my school work is hard and i need breaks but dont have anything i really enjoy at the moment. I dont know what id want to do and have time to do rn
My time is split between work and spending time with my girlfriend which while i enjoy isnt personal time yk?
That’s fair enough and completely relatable. In which case I’d say go ahead and embrace watching them man. They may not be the most top tier of all TV ever, but they’re entertaining and cathartic enough to give you what you need.
As someone who watches +5 hours of YouTube a day I’d say the main issue with this stuff is the ease of access. I can easily lost track of time and spend hours organizing screws in my tool shed but that mean I need to actually decide to go there first. That takes effort. Sitting in front of my PC and opening youtube (or xvideos) doesn’t take effort.
I smoke weed every day. Casual marijuana consumption is definitely socially acceptable here (I’m in Canada where it’s legal) but I’ve been high more often than not for the past 8 years or so.

Sometimes I’ll swing by Starbucks before my hour long commute to work I feel guilty each time because all but one coffee shop in town closed down but we have like 7 Starbucks now, one literally across the street from the other
This is a great reply because fuck Starbucks. Love it!
I bathe 2-3 times a day. A quick one in the morning to get me out of the house, or I just skip it if I don’t have time. Cycle to work, real shower there. Then a nice long bath in the evening where I just soak and watch anime. Or browse Lemmy.
There’s nothing socially unacceptable about this. This is environmentally unacceptable
I know. But… I don’t know how to not do it and either not make my bed smell or smell at the office.
Taking 2-3 showers a day when you’re working up a sweat isn’t killing the environment, don’t feel bad about it. If you’re worried about your personal water consumption then reducing the amount of meat/dairy you eat and not participating in fast fashion will do more than never showering again ever would.
Ah then I still regularly wear the clothes I bought 10 years ago, patched armpit holes and all!
Couldn’t you compromise and take a shower in the morning instead? Certainly a lot less water used than drawing a whole bathtub. Also it’s quicker to do when in a hurry. (Though I would probably skip the first shower if I’m just going to go work out and shower again right afterwards anyway)
It’s not a whole bathtub.
You let the water run for a minute, and then stop so that it’s just a 3-inch base to get warm in.
You watch some anime, read some articles, do something with your mind for 15 minutes.
Once the water starts to get cold, you let it run for a minute, and then stop again so that it’s about 6 inches deep.
Wait 15 minutes, repeat, wait 15 minutes, repeat. After about an hour, the water is just covering your groin. I don’t know how many litres that is, but it’s not very much.
Compare that to a 15 minute shower where all the water and heat goes immediately down the drain.
Fair enough, that sounds reasonable
But I am amazed you can do an hour long bath in the morning, I would probably fall right back asleep lol
Bath at night
Do you live in a very humid place?
Not particularly
I like that end of the day bath too. Must be the Japanese in me. I feel some guilt over the water usage, but then again, I’m soaking in there for half an hour. If I did the same in a shower, I’d probably use even more water right? Also, the more you weigh, the more water you displace, meaning you need less to fill the tub. So it’s a rare case of weight gain actually reducing resource consumption. Thank you Archimedes!
I feel bad about the water usage too, so I limit the length of the showers to no more than 5 minutes. The baths can be an hour long.
That sounds nice, but if I did that I would be a dry flaky pile of dust.
how come?
My skin gets quite dry after a shower, so multiple in a day would suck all the moisture out of me.
What’s more, after the dryness, I’d then get super oily to compensate. Won’t help with the dryness, but at least my DNA is trying, right?
Enjoying being alone?
Heathen.
What the heck is a plain dorito
A tortilla chip.
Doritos are to tortilla chips as Potato Chips are to Flavored Potato Chips. They both rely on a dusting of flavor on a type of chip.
The flavoured kind, sure. But I’m talking about these - do these not qualify as a proper tortilla chip? They are just Corn, Rapeseed Oil, Salt and Anti-oxidants.
The salt ones aren’t the plain ones, the ones in the blue bag are
Huh? Not for us. The blue bag in the UK are their ‘Cool’ flavour, which IIRC is lime-y ish kinda.
Wow TIL. Around here there are so many plain chip options, and Doritos are exclusively flavor blasted.
At least here i remember them being in blue bags
Cigars. It’s a common topic of judgement, as if I don’t know it’s an expensive hobby with increased risk of cancer. I just love them, and the rituals involved.
I’m an academic who no longer smokes (thanks grad school…) You meet a huge variety of folks in smoker’s pits. The folks a university relies on a hell of a lot more than at least half of faculty. I’m thankful for the daily, sometimes hourly, rituals that taught me that.
I quit smoking years ago but smoked for a long time. If I ever go back to smoking I think it would be a pipe. I did it once or twice and it was extremely relaxing.
I recently picked up a pipe. It has all the rituals and escapism of a cigar, without the hour-long commitment.
That being said, sometimes being”occupied” for an hour is part of the appeal. Each has their place ime.
Sometimes I draw nsfw of my own characters, who are decidedly not sexy because that’s not what I designed them for. But then I spend too much time writing and developing them and get invested in their private lives.
I’m usually too embarrassed to render the drawings and sometimes to even save the file. Shoutout to people who do this for a living, couldn’t be me.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It’s healthy for kids to do this, apparently.
IBS sucks, but god damn I love smelling my farts.

I love black licorice. Developed a taste for it as a kid because it was the only candy available at my grandparents house. Now if I’m hanging out with buddies and I don’t want them mooching off my snacks, I’ll bring black licorice. I’ve only met one other person that wanted some and I was happy to share haha
I love it too, I buy some of the wallaby stuff now and again.
Just don’t eat a ton in any given day.
Edit - Oh shit:
In past warnings, the FDA notes: “If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.”
Whoa! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing this information here. That’s wild
Can I have some?
I watch a lot of porn. A lot.
Wait, wait. I’m worried what you just heard was, “Give me a lot of bacon and eggs.” What I said was, "Give me all the bacon and eggs you have
