Weird things you like.


I've been trying to make my diet 50% plant based. I'm kind of weirded out that I really like mushroom based Jerky. It's good!

I like turtles

Signed, million man.

I saw 16 turtles today, (after chasing a 4-year-old I was baby-sitting at a playground, who ran down to see them at a large pond.) There was a lone snapping turtle. I'd never seen one before. We tried to feed plants to the turtles. They liked small pieces from an apple better, when fish did not grab them first.

reply

Turtles & Tortoises are some of the very few reptiles that I like.

reply

I love turtles. Penguins too.

reply

That’s cute.
Why are you so cute?
Tell me you love ducks and I’m in love Lady😘

reply

Not as cute as this little duck! I want one too!😭

I like making coffee for others even though I rarely drink it myself.

reply

Do you like the smell?

reply

Yeah, it's pleasant enough.

reply

Cod cheeks. It's the most succulent part of the fish.

reply

I was unaware that cod were packing major booty.

😄

I love a heavy rain while I’m listening to music in my garage, drinking with my dog. I’m usually beer or rum, she only gets water.

reply

I can't remember the last time I drank rum....

reply

You strike me as a white wine or fancy cocktail Lady🥂🍹😉

reply

I’d like to think if Conan of Cimmeria were around these days, that he’d do the same.

reply

Yes! Drinking to Crom but never praying to him. He never answers.

reply

White rum or aged?

reply

I like the dark rum but any port in a storm really👍

reply

Rain makes my day. Thunderstorms, just as long as my power doesn't go out. The more rain, the better. The more snow, the better. I don't mind shoveling.

reply

Oh man, I hate snow!
I drive a lot and the white stuff doesn’t help.

We live out in the woods, lose power a couple times a year when the big limbs come down. We bought a Generac 9200 Watt Gennie a few years ago, it’s a bit loud but it serves us well. It’s out back in my little barn so it’s not too obnoxiously noisy and the gas fumes stay away.

You can run the TV, heat, a few lamps and the music. It can’t handle the laundry or dishwasher but that stuff can wait👍

I paid about $900, this machine is a real Marine!

I like rolling up bits of paper and used lens wipe packets.

All started as a teen when I was obsessed with smoking and I used to roll up my bus tickets and pretend it was a cigarette, I got over the smoking phase part of it but I always found the rolling up paper part of it satisfying and seeing how tight I can roll it.

I also like the taste of playdoh.

reply

interesting....

reply

I pinch both ends of the "tube", and pull on the outer layer to roll up the paper real tight! :D

reply

Did you know there are art or craft forms based on rolling paper?

There's plain old paper-rolling crafts like this:

And then there's "quilling", where colored rolls of paper are made into extravagant patterns.

You are not alone in liking to roll paper, in fact, you're in good company!

reply

👍

reply

The nice thing about quilling paper, is that if you just stick a bunch of colored paper rolls together, it looks cool! You don't have to be all precise the way some people do.

the smell of a new book

reply

[deleted]

Do you like that new car smell?

reply

Sorry to cut in but NO.
Something about ‘new car smell’ makes me oddly nauseous, I think it’s the brand new carpet and seating…it smells of chemicals.

reply

You're getting nauseous because that "smell" is comprised of up to 60 different volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Some of these are ethylbenzene, styrene, toluene, trimethylbenzene and xylene. See this article for all the details:

reply

I like the smell of an old book.

reply

Yes👍

How many others have read this and what did they think?

Interesting questions.

reply

Old book smell is fantastic

reply

Yes I love the old book smell too. Used book shops always smell good too.

The library in the town I grew up in had a separate room full of dusty old encyclopedias, newspapers, and vintage books. I used to love going there on the weekend and just sitting in there while reading and taking in the whole vibe.

reply

One of my first jobs was working in the back of my university's library processing books. We got a massive donation of century old books, and for weeks I was wrapped in the toasty scent of aged wood pulp.

reply

Definitely.

reply

The smell inside a used vinyl record store.

reply

You’d love the KingCave (converted loft that looks like a cross between a record store and a comic book shop).

reply

If I’m ever in your area I’ll definitely request a tour. ✌️😀

reply

You're on! Be warned, I can talk for days about music trivia, lol.
