Gee tee aye

Is no one here going to tell me why this is fake and gay? WTF do I come to the greentext community for? Just serious comments about people’s own experiences? Fucking shameful

Not quite in the spirit of what you’ve asked, but I think this still applies:

Cold food. I have no problem with it. I get distracted by kids and my wife gets worked up about how I could come back to cold food and not heat it up. Doesn’t bother me.

Same food every day. I’ve spent years eating tuna sandwich and an apple for lunch every day of the working week. “Don’t you want variety?” Nope. I also used to bulk cook food. So even my dinner was the same every day. Didn’t bother me.

You need a sensible friend to ask.

“Charles, I borrowed this from Mary. I wish for you to use it in the bedroom with me.”

Proceeds to smack her across the face with paddle. It came with no instructions.

I need one of these to figure out Gen Z lingo.

I’ve got a working, modded PS2 in my garage right now that I’m judging to post on eBay.

Came into the comments section to see how others are answering a question I have no idea what to do with.

There was a brief period in my childhood when I spent ages engrossed in a dictionary. I looked up a couple of swear words I heard and a couple of reproductive anatomical terms I heard to read the definition. And then other words mentioned in the definition or synonyms would give me other words to look for. I learnt a lot. Took me a while to figure out that there was more to find in encyclopedias. These will be the ancient tales to tell my children about from the time before internet.

There’s no accounting for taste and there’s no explaination for strong taste preferences.

Disgust is a strange thing though. It varies a lot between people. There’s an overwhelming psychological component along with your past experience. My wife remembers seeing cow parts hanging in a butchers as a teenager and the smell of raw meat, and it has snowballed from there. She reacts really badly to the smell of red meat now. Will never touch red meat. Eats some chicken, but is going off that as well. She then became health obsessed as an adult and has slowly developed an aversion to seeing oil (whether from deep frying or naturally released from food). She also hates the smell of eggs and will only eat them if imperceptibly cooked into something. Interestingly she will still binge on sugar and salt. There’s a strong body type preference on top of that. She’s not anorexic, but I can see the steps a person might go through to get to anorexia.

I’m the opposite. I’ll try anything. Cooked insects. Horse/camel/ostrich meat. Exotic fruit. I’ll give anything a shot. I actually try to sample as many things as possible.

The human brain is a strange thing 🤷‍♂️

This is the view of the eclipse from South Asia.

The whole idea of “surprises” is complete bullshit. Social media has really over romanticised this to an extreme (big surprise! Big reaction video! Completely staged. Isn’t that soooo romantic and adorable). When my wife gets a present, it costs quite a lot. I’m not going to take a chance of judging her taste, pick a brand I know nothing about and try to guess what she would like. We’ve got an agreement that we pick our own presents and make our plans together. No surprises bullshit. Might be boring by social media standards, but it’s the best I can do.

I see you also recieved the universal basic education.
