Ask Lemmy

Star trek

Japanese Natto. Look it up, it's fermented soybean. I can barely be in the same room as it. Yet my Japanese wife and toddler seem to love the stuff and it's healthy and easy to prepare--- when I'm not gagging.

Engineering. Programming. Any kind of field with good jobs or stability.

I don't know how to articulate it properly, but I can't care about anything that is human-focused. I tried engineering and it made me extremely uncomfortable; like my soul broke apart and got put back together in the wrong way. Doomed to be a poor af zoologist/plant biologist :(

Tomatoes. I like all kinds of things made from tomatoes but cannot stand them in their original form. I try them from time to time, big ones, little ones, all kinds, just to see if my tastes have changed, but so far nope. It’s especially odd because it don’t feel this way about any other kind of fruit or vegetables.

Exercise in all forms

Its boring and tedious.

Strength training?

Life up that heavy thing. Great. Now put it back. Repeat 9 times.

Its nice for people who enjoy it. I find it to be .. literally the most pointless thing you can spend your time doing.

Peanut butter. Somehow, I like peanuts well enough, but I can’t stand peanut butter. It’s literally the only food I avoid, and the only food I had a rough reaction to while pregnant. I’d like to at least not hate it, but I have such a gut reaction to eating it, I don’t see a future I would ever get over it.

One of my best friends has a strong Japanese accent, the other has a strong lisp, and I'm still not used to either one, and I feel guilty for it.

I live by the ocean and sea food is disgusting to me. I see people fishing all the time and I know they're eating good. That smell is such a turn off.

Some people can't handle popcorn ceiling. That's just hard cottage cheese.

I can't handle the kind of "3d Holographic" that was all the rage in the late 90s early 00s.

Did you get a "holo" from your Harry potter brand chocolate frogs?

Then run an index fingernail over that affront to decent human sensibilities and feel what I say.

If I could not respond that way to that stimulus, my life would be improved.

Coriander/Cilantro.

I have the soapy gene and it would make me look like a total maniac.

Pickles. I love fermenting things (beer, bread, yogurt, cheese, jalapeños) but cucumbers are gross in any form.

Whiskey. I can be pretentious about good beer, bread, chocolate or coffee, but I’ve just never tasted a difference between whiskeys. Granted I haven’t made too serious an attempt but it Hardly seems worth it. How can I finish becoming a snob if I don’t like good whiskey?

Star Wars. I'm literally the only Gen Xer I know who didn't grow up a huge fan of the first three movies and didn't care for all the toys associated with them. That continued into adulthood--I never got the hype for the newer movies or the modern series.

Math and by extension programming. It makes sense. Then I fill in the numbers, it enters my brain and then just goes to a garbled mess. I get lost in a for loop. WTF...

Mayonnaise. It's on or in a lot of stuff. I just can't stand it.

Tomatoes. They help with cancer prevention but I just can’t fucking stand them
