Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

I pick my nose.

I bet you do too, don't judge.

Or do: It doesn't really matter what you think of me because I'm not a telepath.

There are two types of people in the world: People who pick their nose, and liars.

Seriously though, slowly pulling out one of those boogers that tickles your brain is a unique joy.

I once had a bloody nose while walking, I was about a half hour away from home. Since I don't carry tissues, I did what made the most sense and just held my thumb over my nostril. Once I got home I grabbed a tissue and took my thumb away while leaning over the bathroom sink. Nothing came out, but my nose was plugged. I twisted the tissue and inserted it, removing it pulled out a 3 inch long bloodclot cast of the inside of my sinus that fell onto the palm of my weak hand. It was like a slug made of blood. The feeling of it slithering from my face was what I imagine to be the closest approximation of what the loving embrace of a benevolent god feels like while cumming. It was a transcendental natural high that no experience has come close to.

I use light mode on Discord, and just about everything really. I don't like the feeling of being in a gamer cave. I always have a bunch of lamps on, and light themes too.

A valid positon but also...

How dare you?

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 25 points 1 year ago

Personally I use light mode on everything work related and dark mode for everything personal. Helps my brain separate the two

Playing stupid phone games. Really mind-numbing, no talent required games. Currently into "Whiteout Survival". I am over 60 y.o.

It scratches an itch.

I haven't actually done this in over ~~twenty~~ thirty (fuck I'm old) years, but while thinking about it, I recalled my childhood...

I used to dip extra buttery popcorn in chocolate milk. I fucking loved it. Honestly the thought of it makes me slightly nauseous now...

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's fucking nasty

When I was a kid I would take cold hot dogs and grind them on the wheels of my toy truck, take the ground hot dog meat and make a taco out of it with American cheese slices.

Truck

I bathe 2-3 times a day. A quick one in the morning to get me out of the house, or I just skip it if I don't have time. Cycle to work, real shower there. Then a nice long bath in the evening where I just soak and watch anime. Or browse Lemmy.

There's nothing socially unacceptable about this. This is environmentally unacceptable

A lot of people are saying porn, drugs and alcohol which sure i indulge in but not really in excess. I would if i let myself own any but i dont. My biggest indulgence is media, i consume slop in excess, i let myself fall into meaningless entertainment. Usually drama, youtube drama, it makes me feel so gross because i know how much of a waste of time it is. I could be studying or spending quality time with the people i love but instead i just listen to drivel.

I know it seems relatively harmless but i hate that about myself. I dont even enjoy it much, i just do it becuase id rather do that than nothing

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had similar problems and finally realized it was a symptom called executive dysfunction. I'd do easy dopamine drips like video games or watching YouTube videos instead of projects I want to do or tasks I need to do

The comments suggest most people here have an incredibly low threshold for both guiltβ€”and pleasure.

I smoke weed every day. Casual marijuana consumption is definitely socially acceptable here (I'm in Canada where it's legal) but I've been high more often than not for the past 8 years or so.

What the heck is a plain dorito

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

A tortilla chip.

Doritos are to tortilla chips as Potato Chips are to Flavored Potato Chips. They both rely on a dusting of flavor on a type of chip.

Sometimes I'll swing by Starbucks before my hour long commute to work I feel guilty each time because all but one coffee shop in town closed down but we have like 7 Starbucks now, one literally across the street from the other

[–] Lemisset@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whenever I get Starbucks I feel guilty because they are union busters. I've been making a lot more coffee at home.

36 year old and still sleep with stuffed animals. I've had them for 30 years and just honestly sleep better with them than a pillow. They are a stuffed wolf named timber and a stuffed dog named woofles.

I think only the real dog judges me, but that's cause she's a jealous bitch.

Making random screeching noises. I love it so much. But obviously I can’t do it around everyone all the time.

[–] WolfLink@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My SO and I make weird noises at each other constantly. I also make weird noises around my siblings.

Screeching then biting my bfs neck in a surprise attack

Really scratches an itch in my lizard brain

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For context I am almost 40 year old women. Okay, so I like to watch gaming videos on youtube. Markipler, Let's Game it Out, CallmeKevin, RT game, Dunkey, y'know moslty geared towards kids, young adult gaming content. I never do this unless I am home alone because I don't think anyone would get why I'm watching an adult man play a wrestling game with his bright red, 20 foot tall wrestler named Johnny Hotbody.

[–] magnusrufus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I think you would be surprised how many people would not only understand but also engage in the same activity.

I love black licorice. Developed a taste for it as a kid because it was the only candy available at my grandparents house. Now if I’m hanging out with buddies and I don’t want them mooching off my snacks, I’ll bring black licorice. I’ve only met one other person that wanted some and I was happy to share haha

Cigars. It's a common topic of judgement, as if I don't know it's an expensive hobby with increased risk of cancer. I just love them, and the rituals involved.

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm an academic who no longer smokes (thanks grad school...) You meet a huge variety of folks in smoker's pits. The folks a university relies on a hell of a lot more than at least half of faculty. I'm thankful for the daily, sometimes hourly, rituals that taught me that.

Here’s a minor one:

Dry ramen. Crush up the bag a bit, dump in the powder, shake and enjoy.

What are you, twelve?

No, why do cool adults require their noodles so hydrated?

Drinking shots of gin.

The place I frequent has the same price for whisky, whiskey (with an e), and vodka.

The bartender says I'm the only person who opts for shots of gin as first preference.

Skinning landlords to make tents for the homeless

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I hoard many, many TBs of handpicked, high-resolution porn and VR porn, divided by race, subdivided by star, with shortcut links when the women do scenes together. I enjoy organizing and maintaining the collection. I enjoy finding new porn from new people or discovering girls I missed and getting their backcatalog. Part of my after work/school routine is checking for new torrents of interest and if I miss days or weeks of new content, I'll spend hours going back to find what I want until I'm caught up. All following strict, internal guidelines of what I want, not just everything.

The funny thing is I know for a fact that I watch around the average amount of porn as someone who just uses pornhub or something, and whack it only once a day to every few days.

I just love the collecting of it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(β Β Ν‘β Β°β Β Νœβ Κ–β Β Ν‘β Β°β )⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Kids clothes. I don't fit in them (am late 30s 140lb woman) and I don't try to, but I find myself always drawn to the kids clothing sections because of their bright patterns and prints. I have very basic sewing skills and I've been tempted to take a course on clothes making so I can recreate these in my size. I fuckin love bright colors and silly accessories.

In an overly consumerist late-stage capitalistic society, my socially unacceptable guilty indulgence is minimalism.

[–] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

That's "my only weakness is I work too hard" kind of stuff.
