I recently saw an ad for biscoff and I was surprised that people would eat them randomly. The only time I ever eat biscoff is on a plane when the flight attendant gives me some. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love them but I rarely think about it as something I can just go buy in a store. Seeing the ad was so jarring because to me it doesn’t feel like something I should eat a lower altitudes

    When I become aware of my hands, I need to position them so that my fingers wouldn’t interfere with each other if they were ten times their length. I think something happened to me when I watched Edward Scissorhands.

    I count stairs,

    There’s 15 steps on my staircase at home 105 to the top of a machine i work on. 22 at the airport

    My wife knows this and I don’t talk when I’m on stairs my brain is occupied by counting the steps.

    I think it’s very strange but I have to do it

      I do this too, but I usually can’t remember the numbers for a stair I use regularly unless I’m actually at the stair.

      I have also tried not counting and I can still tell there’s a part of my brain still stubbornly counting.

    I like barking and do it well enough that some dogs bark back to me. Most won’t, but some also have funny reactions.

    I like to grab door handles with my just my index and pinky fingers. I don’t know why. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. It just amuses me a little. I think I started doing it pretending to be an alien.

    When I pour Pepsi into a glass I put my nose over it and feel the bubbles fizz on my nose. I’ve done this since I was about 7 years old.

    Pick some fresh berries from my balcony planter. Do a little happy dance while eating them.

    I’m a 50+ y/o man.

      I love this for you. What kind of plant is it? I’m slowly building my own balcony garden.

        Wild strawberries grow small and give very tasty little fruits. They are easy to grow on a balcony though quite dramatic and need plenty of water when there is sun and heat. First year they didn’t give almost any fruit but second year on I have a handful of harvest daily all of late summer. Very satisfying.

        I’ve tried having small bushes of goose berries but they got hit with mildew, probably because there wasn’t enough exchange of air.

        Try different things, see what works where you are.

    I’m not superstitious, but when I’m walking on sidewalks or tile floors I have tended to try to avoid cracks or lines. It’s an easy but engaging puzzle to try to do it while maintaining a normal gait, like the ambulatory equivalent of Sudoku.

    Then, one day, my high school geometry teacher taught us about angle bisectors and the game changed permanently. Now, in addition to visible lines, any line intersections now produce invisible bisector rays that must also be avoided. I made a picture to show where you can’t step on a sidewalk. It has been decades since high school geometry and I still try to avoid bisector lines any time I’m on a suitable floor. I have never added another rule to the game since, and it wasn’t til this post that I thought about how strange that is.

    I love Biscoff cookies, but had never had them outside of a snack on a plane either. First time I realized they sold them at stores was when my local Costco started carrying them in giant boxes, which is a little like being Sir Gallahad the Chaste, and stumbling into the castle Anthrax.

    Aldi has a pretty goof knockoff version in normal size packages if you have problems with moderation 😉

    But to answer your question, a long time ago, my wife and I did the “Love you”, “Love you too”, “Love you… three?” thing, and apparently got up to 5 before we decided it was silly. Many years later, “Love you five” is the normal response to “Love you”.

    While lounging, I will interlink my big toes. I honestly didn’t know I did it until my wife saw it and with a look of horror asked what I was doing 😆

    A few years ago I decided I wanted to improve my hand flute skills and began consciously practicing daily. Since then, I have developed the habit of playing the hand flute automatically when my hands are not busy.

    My dad’s and I both occasional partake in a specific ritual that goes as follows:

    1. Crack open an ice cold Coke Zero (also works with coke. And probably other colas).

    Take a few sips while you either pull fresh from the garden or out of the fridge:

    1. Radishes

    Wash them up. You can slice, quarter or leave whole.

    Get snacking.

    Enjoy your fresh, slightly spicy (or really spicy depending!) radishes with your cold bubbly coke.

    1. Wait.

    2. Burp

    3. Transcend this mortal plane, bask in the glory of the radish and coke burps that follow.
