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...

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

      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

    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.

    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

      Are you introverted? If you are, it sounds like you just need some time to recharge on your own.

      But then if you don't enjoy the dramas then maybe you could try actively seeking out a solo activity that you do enjoy? Because it sounds like it might just be a procrastination activity which isn't usually as rewarding as we want and you'll feel better actively taking time out to do something you truly want to do.

          That's fair enough and completely relatable. In which case I'd say go ahead and embrace watching them man. They may not be the most top tier of all TV ever, but they're entertaining and cathartic enough to give you what you need.

        It's not necessary from a hygiene standpoint in developed countries, but from a culinary standpoint it can be necessary to wash depending on the dish and the type of rice. But it can also just as much be necessary not to wash for certain dishes. The powdery free starch that coats the outside of the grain can make the rice clumpier, need for, for example, risotto and paella.

      1. rice straight out of the bag isn't 'dirty'. The stuff that comes off in water is just starch i.e. rice dust from milling off the outer husk. Washing rice only really changes the texture (unwashed is a bit sticker). There's no right way here and many European recipes ( like risotto) actually need the extra starch. Anyone who criticizes this doesn't know where they're taking about.

      2. lol whatever keeps you clean, too many people never wash their ass at all.

      3. I might try this

    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.

      Maybe try the sugar free ones? If you're gonna be drinking a triple shot if caffeine, at least it doesn't need to send you to the brink of diabetic shock. That's where I'd probably start if I was hooked on them. Baby steps, y'know?

    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.

          if you've just bathed before going to bed, why do you need two baths before work in order to not smell? this sounds like there's some kind of underlying medical condition lol

            Well the morning shower I sometimes skip, but if it's an especially cold day and the house is freezing, then I might sneak one in just to get enough motivation to leave the house

          My skin gets quite dry after a shower, so multiple in a day would suck all the moisture out of me.

          What's more, after the dryness, I'd then get super oily to compensate. Won't help with the dryness, but at least my DNA is trying, right?

    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.

      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.

    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

      I bought black licorice at the store and the cashier called it disgusting. I don’t care, I’ll keep eating that garbage.

    Gambling I guess? Although I count cards so it's not quite the same, but I can't exactly explain to the people around me that I'm an advantage player when I start throwing fistfulls of cash at the dealer...
