Ask Lemmy

I wear the same clothes every day, as in the same style and color of shirt, pants, hoodie etc.. My wardrobe basically looks like that Simpsons gag where Homer's wardrobe is just 20 identical white shirts and blue pants.
I picked that up from a buddhist monk who stated that not having to expend any mental effort worrying about what to wear each day felt freeing, and he was totally right.
I stole that same philosophy regarding my hair, and just buzz it all off once a week. Never a bad hair day that way!

I open bananas from the blossom end instead of the stem end because it's easier

Most modern apple varieties have soft enough cores to eat, so I eat them (not the seeds though)

I eat kiwi skin because I enjoy the fuzzy texture (I don't even have a rationalization even I think it's weird)

basically I make everyone uncomfortable when I eat fruit lol

If I'm knocking on a door I silently count how many times I knock. I prefer to knock 5 times but it's not a solid rule lol. Friends have accused me of "cop knocking" so at their houses I knock the mario bros riff

I have full on conversations with myself. To the point where I simulate talking with two people. I don't have any multiple personalities or any mental illness (as far as I know), I just use it as a way to think about what I need to think about.

I do crowd control when walking near other people or animals. This involves whistling or snapping my fingers to get their attention and putting my hands out if someone gets too close. I picked this up in rehab from a spinal injury that I have since mostly recovered from.

It usually takes a very particular kind of moment for others to even notice but I don't lie ever and I'm completely unable to give short inaccurate answers that borderline on lying.

I've basically trained the people around me to not ask if they don't want to hear the truth or conversely that I'm the one to ask when everyone else is just handing out comforting lies.

• At home I use the mouse right handed with the left and right click on the normal buttons.
• At work I use the mouse left handed and have the left and right click swapped.

I do it because my right hand is getting sore from clicking but at home I still want to play games.

I can talk myself out of buying anything, and often do. Even when I actually need it.

Not every time.

But most nights when I get into bed, I get into bed facing the outside, roll to face the middle, roll to face the outside, then settle in to try and sleep.

It settles the blankets in a way I like, and its sorta a ritual now

I match my shirt color to what I'm going to train in the gym.

As an example, let's say that's today is leg day: then I will use a gray shirt. Yesterday was chest day, so it was a red shirt.

I bought a few packs of the same shirts just so I could make this matching game. I'm not sure if someone elss at the gym realized that I do this but I'm fairly certain they would find it odd.

I've been told that my pacing is weird. It seems pretty normal to want to move to think. It happens a lot when I'm on phone calls especially, but I'll pace while making decisions too

I used to move my mouse at a certain rate to do the Google captchas at a slower pace than I physically could. Not sure why I did it, but it seemed like a reasonable strategy.
