Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

I've been running every single day for the past 4.5 years or so. Not counting the days anymore. Related to that, my smart scale puts my physical age at 17 years below my real age. Before I started running, the same scale had my physical age 21 years above my real age.

[–] captnanonymous 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

But how old are your knees and ankles?

[–] sailormoon 2 points 7 hours ago

Hahaha, I used to run; I had the same question! I can't run anymore because knee pain :(

I swore you would have used that your name is an anagram of "i anal kok".

I do be seeing you in the comments

I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.

Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.

Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must've never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).

Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.

Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there's not much AC in Finland for the summer...

The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.

Everything about me is a weird flex

  • I invented two novel fire eating tricks, one of which involves my split tongue
  • I can scratch the back of my skull through my nose with an icepick. I can also put a running power drill in my nose or feed a silicone tube through and out the mouth
  • I often shave with a torch or lighter

In visual studio, a program for software developers, one of the type of templates you can start up and make a program with is in "blazor webassembly". One of Microsoft's fancy new things.

In there, right after starting it, there is some example code thrown in your face. Code that contains pi... with a rounding error.

So I, being the insistent autistic nerd I am, made a pull request and had it fixed. And I still wonder how so many people looked at that and it bothered absolutely no one enough to go and fix it.

[–] captnanonymous 3 points 8 hours ago

Definitely add to resume.

We truly live in the future. You opened a PR for a Microsoft product.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

A petty, nerdy, unnecessary pr.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

That's how we as species approach perfection :)

I have come so far in life yet have changed so little

I'm the same as I was when I was six years old
And, oh my God, I feel so damn old
I don't really feel anything

When baking, I take the right amount of butter with 1g of accuracy.

[–] captnanonymous 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Actual baking with an oven.

I can cook minute rice in 56 seconds. I try to only use my powers for good.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

I ran over 1000 miles in 2023! I've taken an 8.5" circumference toy anally!

[–] captnanonymous 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I hope these two achievements aren't related.

[–] WoodScientist 1 points 50 minutes ago

Possible interpretations:

  1. They've run a distance of 1,000 miles while wearing a butt plug.
  2. The 1000 miles is the distance the device has moved back and forth within their rectum.
[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

Congrats on your personal achievements, as I reckon they both required quite some determination, training and stretching!

Were those things related… thematically or chronologically?

My landlord pays me to live in my apartment rather than the other way around.
