    As a child I would hide newspapers under the couch so my mommy wouldn't use them in the fireplace.

      My dad had to mow the lawn when I was away or heavily distracted because I'd cry about the dandelions and daisies being cut down lol

      Still irks me to this day when I have to do it.

        It's the opposite for me. As a child, I had an irrational fear of dandelions. When my dad had to mown the lawn, I cheered from the window, as I could finally go outside again.

          Given the climate collapse I figure we'll both lead lives that will eventually lead us to Highlander-Dueling it out over the last dandelion and what to do with it

      I hear sci hub is a pretty cool website that lets you find a paper by its doi number

    Wait, other people don't do that? Well, that explains a lot... Since I was a kid, I never understood how people treated their stuff so badly and throw stuff away without a second thought. I take care of my stuff for as long as I can, and almost never throw anything away. They're like companions who walk with me in my life, and I'm never giving up on an old friend.

    Don’t anthropomorphize computers, they hate that.

    Gotta say this is one ASD trait that I very much don't have and is kind of hard to relate to.
