Would ypu ever act on the impulse or more importantly, have the impulse acted on you without regard for

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Could you please clarify? I don't think I understand your question.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you believe in taking orders/providing reliable "service"

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes, to a point. If I feel safe, respected, and loved.

[–] jpreston1986@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Weed, video games, over eating.

that list used to include drinking alcohol, but I've been clean from that for like 7 or 8 years.

When life is going well, I don't overeat over-game, or smoke weed much. But then holiday season descends upon my life and I'm left with a feeling of "hunker down and survive." and in so doing, I go back to my comforts of weed, video games, and over-eating.

C'est la vie. I gain and lose 20lbs every year it seems.

Congrats, ditching alcohol is no small feat. Ditching (most) sugars would be my personal equivalent, but it doesn't even feel like a realistic goal most days.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sex, cheese, salty snacks, fruit juices, other amazing food in general, and being a bit lazy/a homebody. I struggle to maintain a tight tummy, but I am keeping active. Otherwise I'd be huge.

Luckily I like sports, it's just the getting myself to the sports that's the big hurdle. Also luckily I have friends that act as bait for me to show up. ❀️

Cheese is pretty tempting...

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

[Dennis Reynolds nasal inflection] Aaanny amount of cheese

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I have the usual - caffeine, fat snacks - but I'm a huge bag slut: I love a good bag or knapsack or carry-on.

Except I was raised poor, so I merely envy the hell outta them from afar.

[–] Mistakes@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Magic mushrooms, guitar, rough bdsm

I don't see any, but these are the things that i wanted to share and felt most appropriate for the thread

[–] KnightOfOldEmpire@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)
  • Haribo candy
  • Whisky Cola
  • Plastic models
[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Whisky Cola

What is this elixir you speak of?

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

More like anodyne

[–] KnightOfOldEmpire@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is it a trick question? It's coca cola zero (needs to be zero), sparkling water, slice of lemon and whisky. I also prefer to drink it at room temperature, rather than putting ice in it.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Ah! It's a mixed drink and not like a Cherry Coke but wayyyy better. A dozen flavours of coke and a missing connector tripped me up.

Thanks for taking the time to explain what must've been So obvious for you!

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

O god. Haribo (even tho i never ate or experienced them) sends chills up my spine

Were they seriously that good

I actually do love those oldtimey cola bottle gumniesβ€”was just thinking about those randomly the other day πŸ˜‚

[–] itsworkthatwedo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Were they? They still are. Get yourself some gummy bears or happy cola or twin cherries and strap in.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Weirdly the cola bottles are the only haribo I can consume. All the rest feels slimy and disgusting. But those bottles hmmmm

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Are they legit greasy?

Whatis it with greasy gummies

Watches, fountain pens, and Windows XP era hardware. I think those are my biggest. But I am also a sucker for 80s one-hit-wonders on vinyl. Oh man, and calculators.

Vices being drains on my expendable income. If we are talking something bad for you, I'd say indica gummies and bourbon. But those are (typically) pretty affordable.

Please, talk to me about these hobbies if you share them.. nobody I know in person is interested.

[–] matador0820@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Whats your favorite one-hit-wonder that you own? Around 10 years ago, in a used record store close to the old Amoeba in Hollywood, I bought a copy of of Eddie Murphy’s single β€œParty All The Time” for 99Β’.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Oh man, I think I would have to say either Taco - Puttin'On the Ritz or The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ur ecletic, I'll give u that

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes, admittedly. Don't get me started on vintage staplers, either.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Alrite, u talked me back

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (4 children)

If there is an opened container of frosting or sweetened condensed milk I cannot help myself from eating it a bit at a time.

When I think of something amusing to say, I tend to say it without stopping to think about if it is appropriate... or kind.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Kindred spiritz

[–] Sherad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Probably either molly or alcohol. Though managing the booze a bit better lately. Molly I just wanna do like once a week even though I know I can't. I know its awful, and I have other pleasures/hobbies, but I do seriously look forward to the next time every 2-3 months or so that I can just take a couple pills and go out and go wild for a bit at dancing at a club or rave or singing at a higher energy karaoke bars.

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Idk molly never feels that addictive just less effective everytime you start to spam doing it too often, I never take t breaks for weed but I do for molly or it gets boring

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Dont do it once a week, but also look up how its not that awful, you can also do supplements/antioxidants, but the studies on mdma people use to suggest it causss brain damage were done on rats given like 100 human points each a day for a week or some sht, ofc they tweaked out and died

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My biggest vice is definitely drugs. Weed and alcohol mostly.

[–] XiJinpingStanAccount@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Huh. I was expecting... something else to be your biggest vice.
