I fucking hate beetroot.

I have a kind of unique angle on this..

When I was sick as a kid and on the childhood cancer ward with leukaemia they had some kids on a specific stem cell therapy and the preservative used for it during freezing was dimethyl sulfoxide, as a result the entire ward which I regularly spent 1-3 weeks on at a time smelt like beetroot. I literally can't be in the same house as the stuff without feeling queasy. I've had people open a jar on the other side of the house and I feel ill instantly nauseous without even knowing it's there.

What's really crazy is some folks experience the smell of this DMSO as garlic and some as creamed-corn; while others like me sense it as beetroot (I think there's some genetic variation in how we respond to the size of various molecules).

Sorry to hear you went rough that, especially as a kid.

I'm the same. My mum loves the stuff. As soon as she opens a jar of the stuff I'm feeling sick.

I recently finish eating a bag of delicious pretzels and of course I see an ad for the same exact brand on YouTube, only moments later. 🙄

I was reading a 5 year old reddit thread about some 25 year old japanese drama, and someone mentioned Densha Otoko, which is a 20 year old japanese drama. "Densha Otoko" sounded fairly familiar, I googled it and this is the first image that came up

Seeing this silly screenshot gave me like a sudden "rush" of very vividly remembering something which I didn't even notice I've forgotten. It's such a strange feeling. Think like, idk, seeing the old Sierra Logo or something. It's great in the way that it's very much something nice/pleasant to recall, but also I can't help wondering how many other stuff I've forgotten.

I've often thought about keeping a "diary", for this kind of shit specifically. What music did I listen to in April of 2011? What TV shows had I been watching in March 05? For example I love browsing old YouTube playlists I created like almost 20 years ago, but obviously yt is not a viable way for logging this in any meaningful way. And actually doing it in a meaningful way is, afaik, not really feasible. Like just posting screenshots to a scrapbook/sheet obviously wouldn't cut it, and then you'd obviously had to maintain that shit. It's too bad there isn't a good solution for this, unless something like Neuralink becomes viable.
 
On Star Trek Enterprise, Shran and Andorians would call humans "pink skin" on the show.

I guess someone forgot to tell him....

Travis Mayweather should have stood up and yelled "WHO THE FUCK YOU CALLING PINK SKIN, MOTHERFUCKER!?"

I can't believe I managed to convince people that they should give me a big amount of money each month in exchange of emails I read and answer to
 
When I'm out with my friends, and we're at the table of some pub, I like to loudly say suddenly: "Google, search naked chicks", and then giggle seeing them scramble towards their phones to shut down the browser app.
 
I didn't think the noisy people who live above me could get any worse but they've brought a dog home today. No issues with that as I love dogs, but to fuck off out on a Friday night and leave it all alone when you've only had it for half a day? Pricks. Dunno where they get their money from for a dog and a night out. Neither of them work.
 
Drunk guy just got out of a taxi, whipped his junk out and is taking a leak out in the open right in the middle of the green. There's a tree 8-9ft to his left, whatever happened to etiquette..?!
 
Whenever I get a sense of deja vu I stop what I'm currently doing and do my utmost to do something completly different. In my mind if something is so important that it resonates through time/space/whatever then I want no part of it.


As the famous curse go:

"May you live in interesting times"
 
"Highjacking the top comment"

You ain't highjacking shit. I fucking hate this dumb ass expression on reddit. Just ask a question on the forum like a normal person

Time I went back to a full keyboard. I miss having a numpad.

Been a PC "power user" since nearly 20yrs ago, legitimately never used the number pad -- despite always having one -- as it always struck me as awkward. Started forcing myself to use it in the last couple of months and I don't know what I was doing before, so much more efficient once used to it!
 
I'm a idiot.

I kept checking for score updates on my sports bets for the Orlando game. 7:30 pm game start. It's now 8 and nothing, what's going on? Is there a long pre game ceremony?

The NBA playoff games start tomorrow! I thought today was Tuesday. lol
