- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 3 days ago:
I’m convinced anyone who says that either has a dulled sense of taste, or is confusing the texture for flavor. I could see arguing that they feel similar, since they definitely both have a soft texture. But in my experience, they definitely do not taste the same. Avocado has a flavor, it’s delicate but it’s there. Clean penis just tastes like any other clean skin.
But not all clean skin is as smooth as a penis head. Matching texture for texture makes more sense.
… I’m gonna regret having this in my comment history, aren’t I?

I did the same with a mango. In public.

This is why I’m practically addicted to avocado sushi rolls.

I’ve come to enjoy it and use it regularly, but that’s because I’ve been working on increasing my spice tolerance through the past few years. Once upon a time, it definitely hit me too hard.
For me it’s: sensory differences + a European family background (I wasn’t exposed to much spice growing up) = incredibly low spice tolerance.
A note on the sensory differences, I ironically have a high pain tolerance, extremely low tolerance for being tickled, and I find scratching to be a pleasant sensation. Sensory processing differences are fascinating. Brains are so weird.

My girlfriend’s dog managed to break into a cooler bag I had. What was he after? The plant-based butter I had in there. Bro destroyed the bag so bad we had to toss it out, and all because he wanted butter.
Don’t let anyone tell you it can’t be enjoyed on its own.
- Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands 5 days ago:
You’re absolutely right on that. Some people really just want the freedom for themselves, but not for their partners. Which is ridiculous. After all, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” If someone hasn’t got the maturity it takes for polyamory, then they’re not ready for it.
- Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands 6 days ago:
Wouldn’t that argument work the same way for men? To be clear, I’m not a fan of that argument for any gender. But fair is fair.
I’m polyam, so my experiences are quite different. I’m finding more married people looking for a third, which is awkward when I’m more of a “relationship anarchist” and don’t want to put my partners into tiers above/below each other (or be put into such tiers myself.)

Man, the downvote ratio really goes to show how many people vote without reading a post. I imagine a lot of them would agree with you, but they just saw the meme and thought, “That’s stupid.” Which is ironically a vote in your favor.

With Imgur and Reddit having all the silly restrictions, I’m not sure why more people don’t upload their images directly to Lemmy?
- Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare. 2 weeks ago:
Somehow, I never did that. Wish I had, that sounds a lot easier than what my family did. Though what we did was cool in a different way.
My older brothers built snow forts with stairs inside, leading to balconies and sled ramps on the top. They even put blocks of snow around the edges and put up a flag, resembling castles. My younger brother and I did grunt work - walking up and down the street, gathering and lugging snow to the build site. We all got to play in the end though, so we were happy to help. My older brothers always loved building things, and these forts were their collaborative masterpieces. Super snowy storms were the best.

- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 2 weeks ago:
I tend to turn it into a “casual sweep” of the scene. I’m looking at leaves, architecture, license plates! Well, and also getting a glimpse of whoever’s around me. From being bullied in grade school, to learning to fly in college, with growing up as a young women between the two eras, situational awareness has become baked into my existence. But it’s not a bad thing, it’s a skill.
Tangentially, I wonder how much of this increased situational awareness plays into our famous “women’s intuition”? If we’re taking in more of our surroundings, it makes sense our unconscious minds will notice more readily when something’s “off.”
As well, I’ve often considered my “luck” to come down to increased awareness. When retrospectively thinking about a sequence of events, I can sometimes put together how noticing A led to me doing B, even if I didn’t consciously think about it at the time. Like unconsciously noticing that a car in front of you is somewhat lopsided and getting the urge to switch lanes and pass them. You’re not thinking about it. But later on when that car spins out on a flat tire, you’re well past them - a safe distance away.
Or a situation that undoubtly makes people think I’m lucky - finding four-leaf clovers. A split-second scan of the ground and I can notice a four-leafer in a patch. Just a few months ago I was pumpkin-picking with my girlfriend and it happened again. We were standing outside and I was telling her about this exact phenomenon when I stopped, laughed, crouched down, plucked one particular clover, and handed it to her. “See?! It just happens!” I then proceeded to find two more, and at that point I knew I had to stop myself.
So yeah, it’s not all bad. :)
- Comment on Ad companies are the ones destroying civilization 2 weeks ago:
people have this on their liver somewhat
Interesting, I’ve never heard that phrase. Are you a native English speaker, or was that brought through another language? I’m reminded of how in Farsi, the liver is used in phrases that most other languages don’t use it for. Like, instead of calling someone you love your 'heart", you call them your “liver,” but it carries the same intent.

Interesting how they don’t mention it, right? Male circumcision is standard in Islam, it should be on the list. Anything to avoid addressing the genital mutilation elephant already in the room.
- Comment on Is it just me or is there a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately? 3 weeks ago:
Not spam per se, but there does seem to be a sharp uptick in brand new accounts making tons of posts and getting banned. It seems every day I see numerous posts made by users that are already banned by whatever community they posted in (by the time I see them.) Mods must be working overtime.

- Comment on An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
The theme for the event was “90s music.” As a 90s kid, I just… shake my head. There’s so much good music to choose from that decade, and yet they chose to make AI slop instead.
I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.
- Comment on Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste. 4 weeks ago:
Ooh, have a link so I can see what it looks like?
I’ve been using the metal ones for years, but only recently found a way to clean them. I hold them with pliers and use a small blowtorch (the same one I use for heating resins.) It burns up the residue surprisingly quickly. It does make a bit of a smell, and since the metal gets super hot I’d recommend doing it over a sink for safety, but hey, it works.

I went on a date with a guy who used these. Problem is, I use a metal filter on my piece. When he went to light my pipe, the metal reacted to the electric charge and popped out, scattering burning weed around the floor.
Yeah, no, I’ll stick to regular lighters, thanks.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 4 weeks ago:
Fascinating! I’ve seen massive groups of ants before, and I’ve watched them because it’s just so cool to see. I never got down and tried to smell them, though.
Now your comment has me thinking of my dad. He has an uncanny sense of smell far beyond what I have. There are some flowers I can’t smell unless I bend close to them, but which he can smell from across a field. I’ll have to check with him and see if he can smell ants.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 4 weeks ago:
I learned about the Photic Sneeze Reflex when discussing the frustration of cancelled sneezes (you know, when you feel one coming on, but then it just doesn’t happen and it leaves you feeling weird.) He told me, “When that happens, I just look at a light.” I had no idea what he meant. Meanwhile, he thought it was normal for everyone. We both learned something that day.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 4 weeks ago:
That’s weird, because the videos I watch are 1-2 hours long (or longer.) Informational deep dives are practically the opposite of Tik Tok.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 4 weeks ago:
Care to share what you read? I’m curious, too.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 4 weeks ago:
I was watching “deep dives” on Youtube yesterday and was getting confused by all the censoring. Even the word “sex” was censored, and like… what? Not just SA (which I understand censoring), but sex itself? In a video ostensibly designed for an adult (or at least teenage) audience?
It’s hard to follow a story when words get censored that you don’t expect to get censored. In my mind I think something much worse is being said, and have to pause and rewind to ensure I understood correctly. The best part is, the creator wasn’t even from the US, land of the puritans. I expect Europeans not to be afraid of sex, but I guess this is what Youtube is doing to the world.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 4 weeks ago:
I’m with you. Can’t smell ants, but cilantro is soapy.
There are lots of little genetic quirks out there. I experience Arnold’s Reflex, that is, I cough when I stick a cotton swab in my left ear canal. (Only my left. My right doesn’t react.) There’s also the Photic Sneeze Reflex, which is where you sneeze when looking at light. I don’t have that, but around 35% of the population does.
I’m sure there are countless more little things like this that people just haven’t talked about/gathered enough data on yet.
- Comment on Bonobos can "play pretend" 4 weeks ago:
I’ve known multiple dogs that put items in a spot, then brushed their noses over them, as if burying them with invisible dirt.
However, I figure that’s an instinctual behavior, similar to digging/burying food. Not evidence of imagination. Just evidence of dogs interacting with invisible objects.
