Yeah, it’s easy to discard if a little bananus bothers you. But I ain’t a’feared.
Also, I’m usually making smoothies so it’s not much of a concern.
Pro Tip: another advantage of peeling the gorilla-approved way is that you don’t have to separate them when peeling multiple. I usually eat a couple one-offs while the bunch is ripe and then, before the rest get brown and mushy, peel the rest to freeze for smoothies or banana bread or whatever. You can just peel several from the bananus side and save the step of separating them.
I worked in a restaurant that served Bananas Foster so that’s actually a pro tip. You may never have to quickly peel a whole bunch at once but cooks, busy parents, smoothie artisans, etc. frequently do.
It's how the other great apes do it too, which as far as I'm concerned is pretty much the end of the issue. It really is one of those things where there's a right and wrong way to do it.
I finally managed to learn am/pm after working with brits for years, but every time they said "after midnight, past midday" as if it made it easier to remember, I just responded with "after midday, past midnight"
My job uses 24h/UTC time a lot. Love the 24h time, everything I can set to it that I use is on that format. Can’t set the coffee machine or microwave to 24h time.
UTC? Hate it. Too much math that changes with the time change and your time zone to get to UTC. Thankfully wearables and phones will often let you have multiple clocks visible.
abandoning self checkouts because the machine is yelling at you and the workers are busy elsewhere. they say self-checkout lane 7 is still blinking to this day.
When eating pizza at a restaurant with a fork and a knife I start cutting bite size triangles from the center of the pizza, it's pure chaos and people lose their mind when they see me haha
I sigh loudly. Not vocally, but I take in a deep breath and then release it quickly. It's a tension release to me kinda like yawning but everyone around me seems to think I'm upset or frustrated when I do it.
Ever since we were graced with COVID-19, I frequently find myself taking deep breaths and exhaling as you described just to see if my lung function feels right. Realizing now that I don't even need to be infected with COVID-19 for it to have a significant impact on my mental health.
I do the exact same thing. Back in highschool people used to point it out or look at me weird or assume I was upset. My boyfriend asks me "What's wrong?" and I respond with "Uhh...nothing?"
I've done it for as long as I can remember and it feels like it relaxes my nerves.
I "fold" my socks by putting one sock fully into the other sock (picture wearing 2 socks on 1 foot). This way they are together and they don't get stretched out.
I don't get it. You do that as opposed to ... what? Isn't that the way to do it? You put one sock into the other and then kind of fold them in on themselves.
I don't fold them in on themselves, that stretches them slightly and I don't like it, I just put one sock all way down into another sock, like the 1 sock was wearing the other sock!
That's why I'm doing it. I think it's healthy to sometimes take time to just sit with your thoughts and be bored. I find driving to be a good moment to do this. For the same reason I've decided to not use my phone when queuing either.
I've been doing that for many years to the point that people don't like to drive with me. Actually kinda nice since most people would rather just drive than ride with me
Sock is too exposed at the top of the shoe, leading to an unexpected clash of color or style, sock is squashed up the leg by the boot and disrupts the natural fit of the pant, slouch sock (the worst), and sometimes the shoe makes the sock seam really obvious around my toenails for no apparent reason.
I've had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can't even remember how to do it the "normal" way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.
That's a better knot as well. Holds together better comes apart without risking turning into a small tight knot and is balanced to keep one lace from getting more fatigued.
The risk of the knot becoming a real knot (it's more like a pair of slip knots normally) is from the loose end winding up going through one of the loops before you pull it. If you pull the one that went through the loop, you get a tight knot. If you pull the other one, it won't be so tight. And that can still happen with this improved method.
I used to triple knot my shoes and they would still come untied. Then I switched to the ian knot, and my shoes haven't come untied by themselves in forever.
That's probably better knot anyway. Most people don't even realize they tie their shoes with a so called granny knot. The loops are supposed to sit horizontally, not vertically or at 45 degree angle.
That's how my dad taught me, he calls it "bunny ears." Funny enough, it took me a really long time to learn to tie my shoes because both my mom and dad were trying to teach me, but they didn't realize they use different methods and I was so confused.
I think they're amused at the person rather than the action. There's a better chance of finding rocking horse shit than a Brit truly saying "Pip, Pip", unless they're from the US or an actor in a 1950's black and white WW2 themed budget film.
I skip the fourth step from the bottom on every staircase. It started because multiple staircases I regularly traversed coincidentally all had spiders make their homes on the fourth step, so I'd step over them. And then I just never shook the habit.
Then you must leave a path of annoyance and destruction.
as most tasks depends on many factors and if you estimated the correct prep time.
If it’s a 4 minute job on a computer and you hit a network lag, then you failed at determining factor calculation.
If you hang a shelf and estimate 10 minutes but didn’t do the prep of finding the stud then parts of the wall falls down, you failed at determining factor calculation for the task as you didn’t account prep time.
If you think you could clean a table in 2 minutes but then you realize the dishwasher wasn’t emptied, so you just left dishes on the counter for someone else to do the labour instead of accounting extra time then you failed at factor calculations.
If you determine 3 minutes to throw your laundry in the machine but didn’t factor the machine needed emptying first then you failed at factors.
Now if things are going on without a hitch, you can use time to your advantage for better preparation. If I give 10 minutes for a 7 minute task I’m gonna take that extra 3 minutes to grab a glass of water.
If however someone needs to know I will take exactly 7 minutes to hang a shit they need therapy and that stops being my problem to ‘time’ manage for them.
ya know how you can like look at a light, like the sun or a light bulb, and as you move your eyes around you an kinda make shapes like whirling your eyeball around to make a circle with the light ?
well I do that but instead of just with lights, I do it with normal objects in my field of vision, and I do it really fast.
to the observer my eyes balls look freakishly fast moving, but to me I am making your head into a big star shape over and over again.
If you look at a light, when you blink there is a shape that appears.
For example, look at a light for a couple seconds, then look at the cover of a book dead center of your vision and blink. You may notice that it's hard to immediately read the text, due to something missing in your visual field.
OP is saying they are able to imprint objects on their field of view, the same way they do with light.
yeah left right up down, all over in varying ways. well thank you for pointing me in the direction of others - maybe it's not so unique after all. buuut
I'm not going back to R place for some oculolinctus tomfoolery.
I can do that, I was envious of a family member who could do it when I was young and somehow taught myself to be able to do it. Though I always called it "vibrating my eyes". I can't maintain it indefinitely unfortunately
i had one of those apple corer things you press down to cut an apple into slices and leave behind the core in a cylinder.
used it one day at work and started feeling more and more nauseated and dizzy right after eating the apple slices to the point i had to leave work and go home.
i googled it later and discovered apple seeds contain a small amount of cyanide. i guess normally if you don't chew them they pass through just fine no problem. but that apple corer thing had sliced through several seeds.
i've chewed a seed or two before without issues so maybe i got some mutant apple or something but fyi about the cyanide thing!
I do too. It makes sense I think, that flashing light could be the difference between a car noticing you or not if the timing is otherwise perfect for a crash.
You know what I hate? People using their hazards to indicate that they're loading/unloading. You can already indicate towards the pavement to do the same thing and it actually says "hey I'm just pulled in here" instead of using the "something's gone wrong" lights.
Eh, I can understand it though. Say you pull over to the right, have your right blinker on, someone behind you will not see the left light lit up, and if you are already stopped your brake lights aren't on.
With hazards, the full car is displayed.
If it's coming from a place of safety I think it's sensible. I so don't see it as particularly dangerous to adopt, other drivers slow down at most and see you and ignore you at least
That said, if we're coming from the place of safety, usually these instances the person should just fully park instead of pulling over with hazards.
People act like I'm a monster for eating kiwis in their entirety. Not just the skin, but even the ... Stump? Whatever the hard end but is called that presumably attaches it to the tree. It's just extra fiber!
Yeah so I take a microwave safe bowl. Two cups of rice, and four cups of water. Microwave on high for ten minutes, stir it. Another ten minutes depending on how it looks. Comes out perfect most of the time. I have the best results with Jasmine rice but it works with regular too.
I boil eggs with just half an inch of water in a pot and the lid on.
Set a timer to 6 minutes when the water starts to boil and they come out perfect every time.
What do you consider a perfect boiled egg? I need to find a new technique - mine bounce off the bottom of the pot when the water is boiling and they crack.
Ive dated a few Filipina women over the years. When its my turn to cook, I'll sometimes add a packet of onion soup mix to the rice cooker. Its delicious, but it triggers their FauxCD because its just wrong.
Blow into my cigarette before putting it in my mouth.
I smoke Parliaments, which have a little recess in the filter and sometimes bits of the tobacco get in there; I blow it out because I don't want to eat it
Where I'm from it's common to have hot chocolate milk for breakfast, so if I want cereal I first get a glass or whatever of hot milk and then I add the other stuff to the hot milk.
My odd habbit that I hope one day someone will call me out on is that I only scoop half a jar of peanut butter or any other sandwich spread from one half of the container. Ill dig and clean our the entire side of the container and then try to scoop the rest out from the bottom of the other side to leave the pristine untouched top-side of the jar as the last part of the food that is used.
This is a reference to Calvin & Hobbs, but ive been doing it for 20 years... So... Yah...
I clap with the back of my right hand slapping the palm of my left hand (Bajoran style). I don't know why but it's how I've always done it. For some reason I really hate the feeling of my palms and finger undersides touching each other.
I clap really loudly. I cup the fingers off my right hand and bang them into the palm of my left hand. Sometimes people are annoyed by my choosing because it's so loud. But we're clapping? It's supposed to be loud?
There are actually cereal bowls that have two separated sides. Milk goes in one side and dry cereal in the other. You scoop dry cereal, dip in the milk, and every bite is as crunchy as the first.
When I make coffee in the morning I put in one packet of pink sweetener, then half sugarfree liquid creamer and half milk then microwave it for 30 seconds to bring it back up to temp. And sometimes a splash of a Torani flavor for absolutely no reason. Could I just use a little more creamer instead of the sweetener? Sure. Could I use even more creamer and NO milk? Sure, I guess. I just enjoy mad scientisting my coffee. Wife just sighs and gets out of my way in the kitchen.
Know how some people are ambidextrous? I'm the opposite. Ambi-sinister. I'm naturally left-handed but I'm also nearly blind in my left eye so I've picked up a lot of things right-handed over the years. It wigs people out who've known me for a while when I do something left-handed like writing.
To keep it too simple, it's neurodivergent people not adapting themselves to the constructed social norms.
In a more elaborated definition: it's subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.
When people have a brain functioning differently from the majority, you will have different behaviors not matching the heteronormativity and the neuronormativity —even if you're heterosexual. The most obvious examples are not making eyes contact, not shaking hands, stimming in public.
