What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger? (piefed.social)

Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.

People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I'm understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.

How excited I am about buying a new frying pan.

I bought some high end stainless steel ones with thick base. Would definitely recommend. The nonstick ones I used to use suck by comparison.

there's now a no-teflon nonstick carbon steel pan made by misen, and it looks really good on paper and in early reviews, but it's only been out for a short while and I'll look at what happens to it in a year or two before deciding to buy it. After all, hexclad and their imitators with grooves of teflon really don't fare well after a year or more. I'm very excited for it though, maybe the dream of a good pan with no maintenance is finally real.
