  • @bobwiley genuinely just spent the last half hour watching this guy wrap presents - he gets so much joy out of it!

    Reminds me of the start of every school year: my mom and I would sit and wrap my textbooks up in calendar paper, making sure the nice pictures ended up on the front cover.

    Gotta step up my wrapping game now - I don't know if I can commit to tossing all my dept store Christmas wrap yet, but I think it's gonna be butcher paper or those awesome vintage posters for birthdays etc.

  • @bobwiley @ericbomb I think you just blew my mind a little. I've never thought of it that way before.

    As someone who loves wrapping (my and anyone else's who will let me) gifts around Christmastime, I think I'll try doing just ribbons this year.

    Any pictures of how it turned out?

  • @Zathras @Lemmylefty I do this too! I find myself interrupting people to finish their sentences at times, or assume I know what they're going to say and think/spit out a response to move the Convo along. After doing some internet research, I'm starting to wonder if it may be a symptom of undiagnosed ADHD or something 🤷 might be worth taking a look into and asking a professional

  • @wesker @Lemmylefty I find this happening in phone call convos w friends at times. They'll tell me things that are going on in their lives that may not be 'ooh interesting' but that I enjoy hearing about/reflecting upon with them. But I don't always have feedback or insights or questions to ask etc, so as I'm thinking of something to say, the Convo veers off to some other topic, maybe with the impression given that I'm not interested, which is definitely not the intention

  • @WetAndFlummoxed @TootSweet drives me nuts at self serve places when you take a glass, put it under the water dispenser, then see bubbles still floating around after the cup is full. Tap water bubbles last like less than half a second. If I see what I think could be soap bubbles, I dump, rinse, repeat til no more bubbles.

  • @beefbaby182 did an audiobook of The Red Queen (Juan Gómez-Jurado) which was a fun murder mystery. At the end it had an interview between the author and narrator (Scott Brick), which led me to Bricks other narrations (he's got a wonderful voice and believable accents) - The Omega Factor (Steve Berry) was next. Hoping it will keep leading me on these novels set in other countries - pretty cool to get a taste of cultures alongside a good story

  • @Albbi @IronRain found out about Wheel of Time from Tumblr of all places. Started the audiobook series as something to accompany me on long drives or workouts but they keep being checked out at my library app lol. Was interesting to me that you could tell it was written a few decades ago - some of the writing seems a bit dated even though altogether it's a very well-structured series.

    Also absolutely loved Red Rising, didn't realize there was a new addition!

  • @ericbomb had roommates in college to whom mopping was just rearranging dirt on the floor.

    Step 1. Get the mop wet in the bucket
    Step 2. Mop the entire first floor
    Step 3. Move to the next floor

    No rinsing, no emptying/refilling the bucket (because hey, it never got dirty!). All grime just got wiped up, and moved around to the kitchen, living room, entryway, hallways etc. God forbid we had a party and beer got spilled in the basement. I'd be smelling it upstairs by the bedroom for weeks.

    I could be wrong but this sounds surprisingly like the "I don't actually need it, I can quit at any time, I just don't want to" trope.
    Just put of curiosity if you switched to decaff for a month or something would you notice or feel any difference?

    I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't really know what it's like. (I'll do tea every now and again but nothing daily or multiple times a day)
