I personally have finished three chapsticks from top to bottom. (using them correctly, not eating them.)

    Learning React JS or at least a bit of it.

    Didn’t realize until recently that since I knew a bit of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS that it wasn’t like learning a new language. It was essentially like learning a new way to mix aspects from all three.

    I managed to keep the same pair of sunglasses for nearly 20 years.

    I lost them when I was helping my sister move and her mother-in-law mistook them for hers. By the time we figured it out she couldn’t find them.

    That’s easy. I did that this weekend!

    Oh. Uh. Nevermind.

      Had that happen in an elevator. Elevator call boxes have a phone line for emergencies.

      RING!
      (pushes button)
      “Hello?”
      “Hello, who is this?”
      “This is an elevator.”
      “No, seriously, who is this?”
      “No, seriously, this is an elevator.”
      (Everyone in the elevator starts laughing)
      “OMG… this really is an elevator!”
      “Well, yeah, that’s what I told you.”
      “How are you talking to me?”
      “The call box started ringing so I pushed the button.”
      “Um, OK, can you hang up now?”
      “Well, there’s no real phone, just a button and a speaker, so I think you have to hang up.”

      This happened to me one time like 15 years ago. I was sitting on a bench and a pay phone next to me started ringing. I picked it up and the local police department was on the other end.

      They said they’d gotten a 911 call from this number. I said this was a pay phone and they were like, “Oh. Are there like, any kids or teenagers around?”

      I looked around. There was a big group of teenagers maybe 30ft from where I was sitting. “Yep, there’s a few nearby.”

      They said, “It was probably them. But we’re gonna send someone by just to make sure everything’s okay.”

      A few minutes later a cop came by and asked if I was the person they spoke to on the phone. “Yep.” He looked around and verified there was no emergency and then left.

      In a public school that had is own number, a harmless prank people used to pull was to dial the payphone’s own number then immediately hang up and dash off. It would then ring and confuse the person who was nearest.

    I can get my tongue inside my nose from the inside. Helps cleaning out the nose and nasal passages.

      I was watching a friend who was trying to get all the blue mage spells and I was baffled my his level of dedication. I didn’t even unlock that class…

      I know RPGs are grindy sometimes, but X-2 wasn’t enjoyable to me, at all. 2/10, more Rikku.

      I admire your dedication.

    I can hum and whistle at the same time. Dogs always snap to attention and look at me when I do it lol

        Nah don’t got enough control for that though sometimes it gets close on accident. Whistle I can bend the pitch a little bit, but mostly sharp/flat. Can’t really shift full on notes easily

        Huh damn just gave it a more concerted effort and I can get them pretty much in sync/harmonized haha. It feels so weird!

        It’s really easy! Hum using the back of your throat (it’s bassy) while pursing your lips, you use the air to push the whistle. You don’t have a lot of control over your tones but it’s fun.

      Did you work out where the drier puts them? Every load, two matching socks go in, but when I unload them there’s either; just one sock, or two different socks.

        I cheat and use Loc-a-Sok sock holders. I still may take forever to get my laundry out of the dryer, but almost never lose a sock!

        No shit, most washing machines really eat socks. They sometimes slip between rubber and drum and then slowly dissolve. Have seen a video of that happening. And have found a lost sock when I had to repair the machine.

        There is a pocket dimension, just behind the lint filter. I use one of those grabbers to fish socks out and I toss back ones that aren’t mine.

    I’m downtown right now. For me that’s big. I hate the city. It feels like one big cage and there’s too many people. This whole time I just want to run away and let them throw me in jail for skipping jury duty but I’m keeping it together. So that’s a w I guess

    I ended up with the absolute worst shopping buggy in the store, constantly clacking and hanging up. I found it was somehow much easier to push backwards…

    People looked at me funny, but hey, if it seems stupid but works, it’s not stupid.
