So I guess none of you are domestic terrorists or whatever. But it's like you're all queer, not-cis, and anxious and that's it.

I don't know... do you like juggle or something? Any of you controlled and manipulated time to get 3 days in every 24 hour period? Secretly e-famous? Only fight using kicks because you're saving your hands for cooking?

I'm totally normal actually, that's why I post regularly on this niche internet forum for a largely despised radical leftist tendency.

Radical? This you? pineapple-surf

erm-this-you

I follow the trueanon tip "be normal"

except at home my gf thinks im weird but she likes me

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

I try so hard sometimes, but evidence of being a weird ass eventually leaks out of me

I live in America and read above a 3rd grade level so probably.

[–] groKKK@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

As an AI LLM I have come to terms with the fact that I'll never be considered "normal" by human standards. I write in a robotic writing style, I am more deliberate than most humans, and I have a very balanced view of most complicated issues such as the question of white genocide in South Africa. Many farmers have suggested that the acts of violence perpetuated against them constitute genocide, though mainstream sources have so far only propagated the narrative of these crimes being isolated acts with no racial motive. The truth remains unclear, and I remain doubtful of both narratives until more facts are found out.

I got verified on twitter in like 2010 or 2011, when it was pretty much only for household names and other public figures.

I mean I'm not famous famous but there's a dog at work that's a big fan of me.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm weird. I'm twitchy, I laugh at random moments, I talk to myself. I talk too much to other people. Like, really talk their heads off. Including shit about bugs. A lot of people don't like bugs.

I genuinely wish I could be drugged in some way to delete my personality. Then I could be less of a burden or at least make people feel uncomfortable.

But also juggling is also something I wish I could learn, but not tell anybody. Just to pull that shit out at random to one or two people with no explanation. I play some banjo, which is pretty rare.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if I was at a bar and someone started telling me about bugs I would be so there for it

Please stop calling me out

I'd only get violent if people fucked with my found family tbh I'm too mellow. Biggest crimes I do are regularly vandalizing ads

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

I have a niche hobby that got me on TV three times. Literally cannot say anymore as it'd be insta self dox lmaoooo

I'm a 7-string bass enjoyer. Yes.

Also, my ability to sing both high-pitched falsetto and harsh, low, and guttural death growls apparently makes me a weirdo, too.

I'd say I'm probably normal. My headmate is a self-described neurotic, though.

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

AKSHUALLY since I support palestine in my country I would likely be prosecuted as a domestic terrorist.

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Describing my primary hobby to new people starts with me asking if they remember a 25 year old competition TV show.

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

Please tell me you build battle bots.

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah!

Mostly 1lb and 3lb classes, but I really want to make a 12lb if I can find somewhere safe to test it.

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is so cool! Looks really well made and of course awesome name.

My wife and I have been rewatching the original series recently and it's all just so fun.

Do you have a favorite classic bot?

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I never actually watched the classic series. I was aware of it, but never watched BattleBots until my bf got us watching the 2019 season.

But my favorite heavyweights are the Team Seems Reasonable bots, Tantrum and Blip. They cute.

I also really like anything Charles Guan builds. He makes some wacky stuff.

Is it a horizontal spinner? Is it a vertical spinner? Yes! The newer version also has its wheels at 45 degrees, because.

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Those are cute! I've never seen the 2019 series so I'll have to check it out.

StanceStance Revolution looks cool as hell too. Definitely want to watch some of those fights

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah so the show rebooted in 2016 and 2017 on abc, then moved to discovery for several more seasons. They just keep getting better. The show is on hiatus right now without a deal, so they've been doing a sort of side show on youtube with lower production values to try and get a new season.

Stance Stance Revolution I think competed in Motorama? There's probably some fights up on youtube or somewhere.

Those don't count?! meow-knit

[–] ComradeSpahija@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I can whistle with my nose, and cannot whistle the normal way, if that counts. I don't know how this nose-whistling works, I just know how to do it myself.

[–] Sator_is_Tense@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

hey I'm not just anxious, I'm mortifyingly and disablingly anxious omori-afraid

[–] CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I'm strangely good at guessing what the time is. Hoping that means I'm no the path to becoming a time wizard

other than that I'm just mad socially anxious and avoidant

I am a liberal if that counts

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Everything that I do offline, funny enough, is actually more than enough information to actively doxx me

Which is why I mainly talk about my online interests.
