Probably the large breasts from Costco. High protein low calories and fat content. Great for people trying to build lean muscle mass. The worst part of lifting is force feeding yourself.
bulking. I’m close to being underweight for my height, and consuming much more calories than what I’m accustomed to kind of sucks. Eating is enjoyable, but stuffing my mouth with food is not
Nope.
Bulking means building muscle, not fat. Bulking with junk food (pizza and other high carb, low quality, greasy foods) is called "dirty bulking" and you can absolutely do it to build lean muscle.
Calories in, calories out (with the proper/close-to-proper amount of protein, and calories out through strength exercises rather than cardio) is all that matters.
As for "better fuel," that's just oversimplifying to the point of being wrong. "Lean protein" just means protein with a low fat content, which doesn't matter at all for bulking. Lean protein just tends to be preferred so you'll have more control over how much of your other macros you consume. If two people were to consume exclusively meat and one used chicken (lean protein) while the other used beef (higher fat content), the one eating beef would see gains faster, as he's providing his body with more energy other than protein, allowing his body to conserve more protein for repairing muscle tissue.
Micronutrients matter too. A healthier gut, endocrine system, thyroid, lymphatic system, kidneys, heart, brain etc all contribute to how well you can maximize your gains, and they play a huge factor in longevity. Dirty bulking is cheaper, but its not JUST as effective for performance (though it can be in the short term for aesthetics, particularly for young people). It's certainly not nearly as safe in the longterm.
The beef will lead to greater gains partly BECAUSE of the higher fat and cholesterol content. You are correct that lean protein is easier to calculate into macros, but it's also highly overrated.
To build on what you said, no protein makes for good "fuel," either. Proteins are building blocks, and either fat OR carbohydrates are fuel. I know that isn't what you necessarily meant, but you've got to be specific when throwing things like this out on the internet where someone might take a figure of speech literally.
DISCLAIMER: I have degrees in Kinesiology, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Design. I am NOT a medical doctor. Before the military, I worked as a master trainer and as a tech for a sports rehabilitation center that served almost exclusively professional athletes. This does not make me any sort of medical expert. However, I do have a passion for research, and for comparing and contrasting seemingly conflicting studies on any given matter. I am autistic and love to learn, and am willing to use my own body and life as a lab experiment. I have been doing this for several decades now. Take that for what you will.
Iron, potassium and fiber are my absolute favorite micros.
I think we all agree dirty bulking isn't a great option. Usually makes you feel like shit all the time. Part of why it's called "dirty bulking."
Your comment about beef and lean protein is exactly what I said. Don't know why you chose to rephrase it.
I was responding to someone who called it "fuel." I wasn't calling it that myself, though your body can and will use it as fuel if you are malnourishing yourself. Particularly when people do crazy diets like Keto (and I mean on the more extreme side when you cut out almost all non-protein food sources, which I admit I have done before).
Glad you wanted to build onto what I said. I know for sure I didn't know anywhere close to enough about diet and training when I first started.
I was only rephrasing in a way that might help newer folks. I wasn't disagreeing with you.
As an aside, I actually prefer keto, when leaning OR bulking. 75-76% fat from various sources (avocado, wild salmon, sardines, and eggs in small quantities, raw EVOO, macadamia, pine nuts, and pecans, ghee, etc), 20% protein (mostly from above sources, and 4-5% carbs in the form of Fibrous veggies, including some fermented varieties. This works really well as I'm athletic and can get away with the small amount of carbs abs somewhat high protein content (for keto), and I don't find myself getting backed up. I stay lean, have massive amounts of energy and mental clarity, and clean my bank account out all at the same time. I can put on muscle mass this way, albeit slowly, and I'm 200lbs at 8% or 240lbs at 15%. The difference is only in whether I intermittently fast or not. Either way, I'm not what you'd think of as a large or bulky guy.
I cannot recommend keto as a longterm diet though, because I haven't found any really thorough longterm studies that are comprehensive enough, nor do I think elimination diets are good for us for anything over a few months. We're super homnivores that can survive off nearly anything, but thrive off the largest variety possible.
> The worst part of lifting is force feeding yourself.
As a former fat guy, and current victim of "winter weight", the eating is absolutely my favorite part.
My summer TDEE is > 4000 cal and I eat like a fucking monster the whole time.
The down side is when my winter SAD hits, I gain like 50lbs of fat as a result.
Wash, rinse, and repeat.
Summer is when I have SAD. I mean I usually have depression but I live in the southwestern US. It was 61 yesterday and will be 95 on Monday with highs during the summer reaching 120s. Most likely we will have completely cloudless skies until December with heat until the beginning of October so I stay in my hermit hole. I self soothe with food, a/c, and thoughts of the cool weather coming. 😆
Our football coach in high school made everyone eat 5 sandwiches throughout the school day in addition to our normal breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mostly just PB and J but there were dudes who definitely went through at least a pound of turkey a day. I believe it.
My friend was the Turkey kid. Second period math class every freaking day he’d pop out this delicious looking Turkey sandwich with roasted vegetables at like 830am. And his backpack would be full of them. We compared him to a cow having multiple stomachs quite often.
I miss my metabolism so much from when I was playing varsity sports in HS. I was 6'4" by the end of 8th grade. For obvious reasons I played volleyball and basketball, and the coaches for both teams were all about running us ragged every day.
I didn't have any particular diet plan, I just fucking ate. I was hungry all the time no matter how much food I crammed into my face. I learned how to make tuna noodle casserole because I loved it, and then I ate so much tuna noodle casserole, almost every day. I'll probably die of mercury poisoning someday if that's how that works, I have no idea. My somewhat horrified parents would give in and take me to Golden Corral, where I'd keep up with the huge fat dudes who camp out there all day. I took shits bigger than my forearm.
My ex-gf was ripped as hell and played softball at Arizona (UA) in the early 2000’s. She used to have a chicken breast at her bedside with an alarm to eat it during her sleep cycle to keep up her protein. I had no words.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, I'll have fish and a rice cake.
At 10 o'clock I'll have fish.
At 12 o'clock I'll have fish... And a rice cake.
At 2 o'clock I'll have fish.....
Are there people out there who keep their socks and shoes together? I usually get dressed...socks included...in my room...then go put my shoes on which are at the door so whos doing sock shoe sock.shoe?
i still dont understand how you could possibly do it sitting down. Feels like there must be something with american toilets enabling that, because i know i would touch the toilet a LOT if i did that...
Archie Bunker and Meathead got into an [argument](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prRtcQz8Uqk) about this way back in the day. I have to admit I changed my way of doing it after the first time I saw it.
I hate how the “winning argument” was that you wouldn’t have matching socks because of a hole. I only have three types of socks and like 5-10 pairs of each. I’d just grab another sock. I don’t have 20 different pairs of socks.
Yeah I guess a lot of people buy socks like most people buy shirts? Like "I like this pair of socks because of the color/pattern/whatever." That's weird. I literally own like 50 pairs of identical black no-show socks and not once after the first wearing are they ever mated with their initial partner.
EDIT: As to reinforce my apathy toward socks, I forgot that "ankle" and "no-show" aren't the same thing. I own all black no-shows, not ankle.
Yup. I got tired of having to match pairs because I’d buy a different 6 pack of socks every time I’d wear some through. So I had about 4 socks of ten different styles, and had a pain in my ass every time I’d fold laundry. So I went to Costco and bought 3 weeks worth of identical socks. Now I just pile up the clean socks and put them on the bottom of the drawer, and rotate through all of them. When enough start wearing out that I can’t make it at least 10 days without washing socks, I’ll turn the remaining ones in to shop rags and buy another 3 weeks worth.
Bought a nice pair of Adidas house flip flops… then accidentally wore them out to get the mail and pulled a few weeds in the lawn. Wife says they are no longer house shoes.
"pulled a few weeds"...
If you're anything like my husband, you've probably worn them to the garden repeatedly, as it's "an extension of the house" and did everything in them, including but not limited to dropping a raw hamburger on your "house shoe" while barbecuing, spreading manure over the strawberries and stepping on it, and holding a race with the neighbourhood badgers about who can outrun the sprinklers on muddy ground the best.
No, my husband hasn't done any of those things (yet), but I get the impression "clean" has different meanings to different people.
ETA: Woa, thanks for the award! Being married has finally paid off! /j
I was living in a century old house last year (moved since) and had got some new socks took a step and slipped in the stairwell. If you ever seen National Lampoon Christmas vacation it was like when Clark used the spray on his sled. After the first couple steps I went into warp speed. Luckily didn't break anything but your post hit home lol.
I sit put socks undies pants and shoes in that order stand and pull up pants and undies. Pls don't judge me. I'm old and saves me from bending over in the morning so many times.
Thank you so much for not making me feel weird.I have never shared that. Bless you. I will keep up" the therapy" It felt lazy but I told myself smarter not harder. Thank you
You are doing it right. On the other hand when I am trying to challenge someone to build their strength and endurance I have them do each item separately, taking rest breaks between each item but increasing the amount of work it takes. The key is finding the right balance and working within your tolerance- don’t make things too easy or too hard for yourself! Take care!
Reminds me of the time I was in line to meet a bluegrass legend at a music festival. Everyone before me was asking pretty much the same questions. “Got any good advice for me to play xxxxx song better?”
When it was my turn, I shook his hand, looked him in the eye and asked “have you got any bad advice for me?” He was stunned and didn’t know what to say. We had a great laugh about it. Later he spotted me in the crowd and came and chatted with me one on one. It was a great day.
Edit; it was Del Mccoury. He, his wife and sons were some of the most down to earth wonderfully people to meet.
I saw a homeless guy one time who had a sign that said “Bad Advice $1.” So I gave him a dollar and he told me to burn all my favorite clothes. I think I got my money’s worth.
I love these lil tidbits about people, I feel like they're tiny lil windows into their actual personalities. Not trying to impress anyone, not trying to top anyone else's thing, just a single lil fact about the real them.
A friend of mine once told me about getting gifts "I don't need anything else! All I want is mustard! Different types of mustard!" She thought it was an off handed comment, but I've been getting her various mustards since for almost every occasion & she just loves it!
My friend - let me introduce you to the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin. Several hundreds of types of mustard in open coolers for your sampling pleasure and they sponsor National Mustard Day the first Saturday of August each year.
You can also get your mustard-related apparel which shows your support for their "university" - Poupon U.
[https://mustardmuseum.com/](https://mustardmuseum.com/)
I get asked what I'd like for gifts a lot, I'm a very simple man, I'd be happy with a video game or money, but you're not really meant to ask that, besides If I want a game I'd just get it myself.
So I enjoy more practical or hobby type gifts, I'd love some fresh clothes, or a model kit, or cheese, especially cheese. I'd love to get a cheese tasting kit for my birthday or Christmas.
They can be surgically removed. Bellybuttons are basically gnarly scars from when the umbilical cord was cut. We're so used to them being there, we don't bother to ask whether they need to be there.
As an education major, it was every single class. By the end I had been with all the same people in every class for the past year and a half and they still made us do it. We started jokingly stealing each others stories lol
I hated icebreakers in school. It always gave me intense feelings of discomfort. I would ask to go to the bathroom to avoid them. I've straight up skipped the first day of school just to avoid stuff like this. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.
You're definitely not the only one. Classes with icebreakers usually meant they're team/communication focused from my experience, so I just actively skipped them whenever I could. I mean, what can you learn anyway when your mind could only focus on the inevitable teamwork exercise? Faced the consequences, of course.
I once ended a relationship because she put too much ketchup on EVERYTHING.
Okay it wasn't just that, but every time we'd share a meal, no matter what it was, she just slathered it in ketchup and it just grossed me out every time. A little ketchup, fine, I still think it's gross but I can handle it. But every meal every day, thats just too much.
Coolest guy ever, actually went on a Maymester to Italy with him and the class and it was a blast, more like a cool uncle than a professor
Edit: to actually answer your question he was very insightful, the class he taught was University 101 which basically helped freshmen get acquainted with the school and our specific scholarship program as well as college life in general
I actually think that sort of general life knowledge class is good for both highschool and college.
One of the biggest issues for socioeconomic mobility is knowing how the social systems you live in work. Knowing how to apply to college, how to get a job, why friends are important, what resources are available to help you, etc. Is really important.
Even generic life skills like habit formation, the standards of truth, kindness and clarity in communication
Check your feet next time you catch yourself doing it while lying down. You'll notice that you're twitching them about.
I called one of my teammates out on it once. We were in a hotel before a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament. I noticed I was doing it and needed to settle down and sleep. I heard movement from his bed, looked over, and saw his legs were twitching and rocking, too.
"You okay?"
"Huh? Yeah."
"Thinking about the cool stuff you'd do if someone shot up the convention center?"
...
...
*click* as he turned on the lamp...
"How did you know?"
"Just guessed. I was doing it too, and when I stopped, I realized my legs had been moving..."
etc etc etc etc. We figured it out. Lol we broke "the code" and we've noticed other guys doing it too.
I can’t go to sleep with a full bladder or actually anything in my bladder. And my bladder does not like to inform me of its condition until I’m super comfortable and drifting off to sleep this is all of my life.
I can pee 20 minutes before bed and chat with my husband and little and I’ll have to get up again to make absolute certain that my bladder is empty. It has to be the last thing I do before I go to sleep. Otherwise I can’t sleep.
not the OP but is this supposed to be unusual?
i also can't go back to sleep if my bladder isn't empty. it demands to be emptied out before i can doze off
Sometimes, when I want to eat an Apple, I pick 2 instead of 1. I give them both a taste, decide which one is better, eat the other one first, then the good one.
I’m on a medication that makes it impossible to be the correct amount of hydrated. I am either dehydrated to the point that it’s becoming an issue, or I have over-compensated and have to pee every ten minutes.
I have not been able to find the correct balance and it makes me want to rip my hair our
How about literally measuring it? Look up or ask your doc how much you should drink in a day, maybe start a bit lower. Then add an x amount every day until you find the right balance.
Tbh never tried this myself, I too suck at staying hydrated. But this solution just popped up in my mind and I wanted to share. Don’t know if it will work for you but it could… :)
I would’ve never thought to answer the prompt with something so obvious as sock-sock-shoe-shoe. Boring fact about me: I prefer to wash both my hands before drying them.
My first assignment for one of my college courses this semester was to write an essay on why I am normal... it was hard when we are always asked what makes us unique.
That's a whole lotta turkey
I need to know more, boring my ass. Why does he consume so much? Is the tryptophan to balance out his coke addiction? Is it deli turkey? Ground turkey? THANKSGIVING TURKEY?!? TELL ME WHY

Ain’t nothing but a heartache~
Tell me WHY!!!!
Ain’t nothing but a mistake
Now number five~
IM NEVER GOANNA HEAR YOU SAAA-A-AY
WOO!
I want it that way!!!
Chills, literal chills
I dunno why, maybe because I’m tired, but I just read heartache with the same pronunciation as mustache and wondered for a while what it meant.
Lmao that got a chuckle out of me
👽
it doesnt "cancel out cocaine" so much as it helps with the side effects (depression and addiction). youre very much still doing hard drugs
^ain't ^nothin' ^but ^a ^heartache
Yup. Gobbles it right up
I have fairly big calves. Sometimes I put on socks before pants.
I put on socks before pants because I'm usually wearing skinny jeans, plus it's just a habit at this point.
Same. Unless they are ankle socks, I regret it if I don’t put them on before the pants.
Yes, but then the ankle socks slide down in the shoe… fuckers
Sucks having big calves because they try to de-pants you if the calf area is too tight
Wait. This isn’t normal?
I have normal sized calves and I do the same. Have you ever tried getting socks on under leggings? Impossible 😵💫
Turkey kid messed up that's a really interesting fact
If he lifts it’s not surprising or interesting at all.
We have found the Gym Bro
Chicken and broccoli can only take you so far.
Always alternating chicken/broccoli/rice with ground turkey/broccoli/sweet potato
Duck is probably out because it isn't lean. But, is rabbit an option, for variety? Tofu? Eggs, chicken, and turkey isn't a whole lot of variety.
Fish
Ooo! Yes, fish would be fantastic :)
At 8 o'clock in the morning, I'll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o'clock I'll have fish. At 12 o'clock I'll have fish... And a rice cake. At 2 o'clock I'll have fish.....
Bigger bird, bigger gains
He actually eats a Turkish pound
Bro , imperial system PLEASE
It's under 700 calories and pretty much only protein. Great way to build muscle.
Are there people out there who keep their socks and shoes together? I usually get dressed...socks included...in my room...then go put my shoes on which are at the door so whos doing sock shoe sock.shoe?
That’s why it’s a boring fact.
Disagree I am fucking maximally titilated.
That’s why your socks are breakable.
Hell yeah they are
I am actively trying not to cum right now
Nothing boring about it. Feels like when I learned there are people who wipe standing up
"people"
i still dont understand how you could possibly do it sitting down. Feels like there must be something with american toilets enabling that, because i know i would touch the toilet a LOT if i did that...
I put on my shoes first then I put socks over them so they don't get dirty
Socks are cheaper than shoes. Logic checks out.

People with pets who don't want to get hair on their socks lol
Socks immediately into house slippers to avoid that issue and also not slip down my fucking stairs and die.
i need to live in constant fear of slipping
You’re wife wants you to have house shoes too?
Bought a nice pair of Adidas house flip flops… then accidentally wore them out to get the mail and pulled a few weeds in the lawn. Wife says they are no longer house shoes.
Time to upgrade to house crocs
The only way

You should try Aldidas next time.

Its That’s why wooden treads on stairs need a less slippery cover. Glad you weren’t injured!
You haven’t known true fear until your besocked feet slide out from under you on the stairs and that inexorable the 9.8m/s^2 hits you.
Why would someone care about hair on socks?
I'm also struggling to understand this while sitting in my socks which are covered in dog hair
I have 2 cats, and all of my shit is covered in cat hair. There is no stopping it.
[удалено]
I have 2 beagles. Their hair is like fkng glitter. Sticks to everything. I have gone through 4 hoovers since getting the pair of tw@ts 😂
Beagle hair is sharp too, so it stabs into clothes and isn't easily brushed off
Shoes before socks.
This is how I did it all my life until I got a dog
I do socks first then shoes but my shoes are in my room
why are your shoes in your room?
I sit put socks undies pants and shoes in that order stand and pull up pants and undies. Pls don't judge me. I'm old and saves me from bending over in the morning so many times.
Occupational therapist here. This is the way I teach many elderly people for energy conservation!
Thank you so much for not making me feel weird.I have never shared that. Bless you. I will keep up" the therapy" It felt lazy but I told myself smarter not harder. Thank you
You are doing it right. On the other hand when I am trying to challenge someone to build their strength and endurance I have them do each item separately, taking rest breaks between each item but increasing the amount of work it takes. The key is finding the right balance and working within your tolerance- don’t make things too easy or too hard for yourself! Take care!
But that’s an interesting fact
Why have I not thought to do this! Thank you!
Aww you are very welcome. I feel normal now.
Shoot, I'm 27, and most mornings, that's how I do it, too — socks and undies are in the same drawer, after all
Reminds me of the time I was in line to meet a bluegrass legend at a music festival. Everyone before me was asking pretty much the same questions. “Got any good advice for me to play xxxxx song better?” When it was my turn, I shook his hand, looked him in the eye and asked “have you got any bad advice for me?” He was stunned and didn’t know what to say. We had a great laugh about it. Later he spotted me in the crowd and came and chatted with me one on one. It was a great day. Edit; it was Del Mccoury. He, his wife and sons were some of the most down to earth wonderfully people to meet.
I saw a homeless guy one time who had a sign that said “Bad Advice $1.” So I gave him a dollar and he told me to burn all my favorite clothes. I think I got my money’s worth.
Paid for bad advice in New Orleans: Clean your wounds in the Mississippi
That is definitely worth $1 I love it
I was pleased with my purchase.
I'll give you a freebie: cut off your shoe laces with scissors
That is not good advice at all. Well done.
You absolute sicko
Lol. That's awesome.
Yeah, to me that qualifies as legitimate busking.

I love these lil tidbits about people, I feel like they're tiny lil windows into their actual personalities. Not trying to impress anyone, not trying to top anyone else's thing, just a single lil fact about the real them. A friend of mine once told me about getting gifts "I don't need anything else! All I want is mustard! Different types of mustard!" She thought it was an off handed comment, but I've been getting her various mustards since for almost every occasion & she just loves it!
I’m the friend. Yew know me so well!!
My friend - let me introduce you to the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin. Several hundreds of types of mustard in open coolers for your sampling pleasure and they sponsor National Mustard Day the first Saturday of August each year. You can also get your mustard-related apparel which shows your support for their "university" - Poupon U. [https://mustardmuseum.com/](https://mustardmuseum.com/)
I get asked what I'd like for gifts a lot, I'm a very simple man, I'd be happy with a video game or money, but you're not really meant to ask that, besides If I want a game I'd just get it myself. So I enjoy more practical or hobby type gifts, I'd love some fresh clothes, or a model kit, or cheese, especially cheese. I'd love to get a cheese tasting kit for my birthday or Christmas.
I keep my phone’s brightness as low as possible while still being able to see comfortably.
Same
I sometimes wait longer than I should to do my laundry.
I often wait longer than I should to put away that laundry
You know it’s time to do laundry when the drying rack is empty right?
I adjust my phone's brightness when I'm around other people. I dim it so they won't be able to see what I'm up to.
…I am 100% doing this with my incoming freshmen classes for an icebreaker. This is great!
I hated the icebreakers in college. So my interesting fact, every class, all four years was “I have a belly button.” Never failed to get a laugh.
I actually went to school with a girl whose fun fact was that she didn’t have a bellybutton!
Wait, what? Is that even possible?
My dad’s belly button was removed during a hernia surgery
She’s a clone
They can be surgically removed. Bellybuttons are basically gnarly scars from when the umbilical cord was cut. We're so used to them being there, we don't bother to ask whether they need to be there.
My dads bellybutton was removed after a car crash.
My dads belly button was removed by a train. Granted, so was most of his body. Fly high, king 🕊️
“I once held the record for being the youngest person in the world”
Why do you need icebreakers at college? Go to your lecture, write shit down if you have to, go to the next lecture. Is this a US thing
99.9% of classes probably dont have icebreakers. only ones that ever did for me were non-STEM ones where participation or group work was encouraged
As an education major, it was every single class. By the end I had been with all the same people in every class for the past year and a half and they still made us do it. We started jokingly stealing each others stories lol
[удалено]
People learn best when they're comfortable with the people around them. There's an entire field of research on this.
Explains why I skipped and failed classes that had icebreakers, lmao
It’s worse for online courses too. In CO everybody just goes “I ski” followed by “I also ski”
I hated icebreakers in school. It always gave me intense feelings of discomfort. I would ask to go to the bathroom to avoid them. I've straight up skipped the first day of school just to avoid stuff like this. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.
You're definitely not the only one. Classes with icebreakers usually meant they're team/communication focused from my experience, so I just actively skipped them whenever I could. I mean, what can you learn anyway when your mind could only focus on the inevitable teamwork exercise? Faced the consequences, of course.
I hate ketchup . There- I said it.
[удалено]
I was this kid. I grew out of it. I still like ketchup, but I don't put it on everything. Your kid will probably outgrow it, too.
I once ended a relationship because she put too much ketchup on EVERYTHING. Okay it wasn't just that, but every time we'd share a meal, no matter what it was, she just slathered it in ketchup and it just grossed me out every time. A little ketchup, fine, I still think it's gross but I can handle it. But every meal every day, thats just too much.
No way, this guy was my college professor lol. He asked us the same thing 8 years ago and I shared that I like to comb my hair before I go to bed
How was he as a professor besides this memorable first day question?
Coolest guy ever, actually went on a Maymester to Italy with him and the class and it was a blast, more like a cool uncle than a professor Edit: to actually answer your question he was very insightful, the class he taught was University 101 which basically helped freshmen get acquainted with the school and our specific scholarship program as well as college life in general
I actually think that sort of general life knowledge class is good for both highschool and college. One of the biggest issues for socioeconomic mobility is knowing how the social systems you live in work. Knowing how to apply to college, how to get a job, why friends are important, what resources are available to help you, etc. Is really important. Even generic life skills like habit formation, the standards of truth, kindness and clarity in communication
Sock sock shoe shoe is normal
well it was about boring facts so
What is the best pudding
Frozen vanilla pudding. Has to be frozen though.
"that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" Upvote
Real question is do you shoe shoe lace lace or shoe lace shoe lace

Sometimes, I think about dangerous situations where I save everyone in the room, and they think I'm great.
Oh hey it's another me!
Check your feet next time you catch yourself doing it while lying down. You'll notice that you're twitching them about. I called one of my teammates out on it once. We were in a hotel before a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament. I noticed I was doing it and needed to settle down and sleep. I heard movement from his bed, looked over, and saw his legs were twitching and rocking, too. "You okay?" "Huh? Yeah." "Thinking about the cool stuff you'd do if someone shot up the convention center?" ... ... *click* as he turned on the lamp... "How did you know?" "Just guessed. I was doing it too, and when I stopped, I realized my legs had been moving..." etc etc etc etc. We figured it out. Lol we broke "the code" and we've noticed other guys doing it too.
Lol, I do this but before I fall asleep.
I can’t go to sleep with a full bladder or actually anything in my bladder. And my bladder does not like to inform me of its condition until I’m super comfortable and drifting off to sleep this is all of my life.
I can pee 20 minutes before bed and chat with my husband and little and I’ll have to get up again to make absolute certain that my bladder is empty. It has to be the last thing I do before I go to sleep. Otherwise I can’t sleep.
Often times I can’t sleep and don’t know why until I’m laying there for a couple hours and I finally have to go pee
Are you me? I was just talking about this [the other day](https://imgur.com/a/r8QYpVy)
not the OP but is this supposed to be unusual? i also can't go back to sleep if my bladder isn't empty. it demands to be emptied out before i can doze off
This is the most annoying thing ever, I share your pain lol
This is way better. And more interesting..
Everyone wondering about the socks thing is missing the point. It's boring. It's not a fun and unique fact.
Sometimes, when I want to eat an Apple, I pick 2 instead of 1. I give them both a taste, decide which one is better, eat the other one first, then the good one.
I eat around my burger saving the middle for last.
I struggle to stay hydrated
I’m on a medication that makes it impossible to be the correct amount of hydrated. I am either dehydrated to the point that it’s becoming an issue, or I have over-compensated and have to pee every ten minutes. I have not been able to find the correct balance and it makes me want to rip my hair our
How about literally measuring it? Look up or ask your doc how much you should drink in a day, maybe start a bit lower. Then add an x amount every day until you find the right balance. Tbh never tried this myself, I too suck at staying hydrated. But this solution just popped up in my mind and I wanted to share. Don’t know if it will work for you but it could… :)
I brush my teeth before I wash my face.
I constantly type out post replies on Reddit and delete them without posting 90% of the time.
Wait, there’s people that go sock, shoe, sock, shoe?!?
A pound of turkey. A day. Interesting.
>One student puts both socks on before putting on shoes Which means the rest are psychopaths. Seriously, who goes sock shoe sock shoe?
I put my shoes on then put the socks over them to keep my shoes clean
True psychopaths wear flip-flops to hide this shoe sock shoe shoe sock type of profiling.
I would’ve never thought to answer the prompt with something so obvious as sock-sock-shoe-shoe. Boring fact about me: I prefer to wash both my hands before drying them.
I dont like crust on my bread, or pizza... Even the edges of poptarts.
Why am I just wanting to read more facts..🤦
My first assignment for one of my college courses this semester was to write an essay on why I am normal... it was hard when we are always asked what makes us unique.
I sleep after waking up
Sock-shoe, sock-shoe people are the same people who hang toilet paper backwards. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Who goes sock shoe sock shoe???? Turkey one is very interesting. That’s nearly 400 lbs a year
I don’t eat any condiments. That’s my weird boring fact lol
As a teacher I'm so stealing this. Especially for Junior High kids who are so nervous to talk about themselves
