What's your "weird flex"? (sh.itjust.works)

Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

For the 2022 Microsoft Excel World Championship I downloaded the problems the moment they were released to the contestants and public and solved as many as I could in real time. I would have finished 5th.

You'd better be well paid, whatever you do. Like politics, all the wrong people go into Excel.

In visual studio, a program for software developers, one of the type of templates you can start up and make a program with is in "blazor webassembly". One of Microsoft's fancy new things.

In there, right after starting it, there is some example code thrown in your face. Code that contains pi... with a rounding error.

So I, being the insistent autistic nerd I am, made a pull request and had it fixed. And I still wonder how so many people looked at that and it bothered absolutely no one enough to go and fix it.

I have a stomache of steel. Nothing will pass my digestive tract alive or intact. I never had any kind of stomache trouble and I can not puke. I ate every dish in south-east-asia that landet in front of me, even from some dirty streetfood shack in the middle of the burmese jungle. Most of the stuff would have killed the average middle european slob. Not me.

It even goes so far that I cannot use edibles. Which is funny, because all the growmies make fun of me now.

I have a hyper sensitive sense of smell. Sometimes useful, most often a nuisance.

At work the roof had small leak few years ago, I could smell the wet concrete several days before the water reached the ceiling of the upper floor office and became visible. I told my boss about the leak as soon as I had first smelled it and located the correct room. "There is no leak here, you're just imagining things" was the response after I showed the room to my boss. "There is and we shall see in a few days." After 4 or 5 days the ceiling started dripping water and I received an apology.

I've been able to mentally bypass most of the awful smells of the world and people around me as long as I can remember, so it isn't so bad. But after a few drinks the mental filter turns off and I can smell everything, including my own metabolized alcohol infused sweat. That is not fun at all.

I made a full fledged MMORPG, playable up to level 12 with items, quests, bosses..., in full 3D and a victorian setting.

In hindsight I think it was therapy. There was a video about it on daily motion (mindoki).

Everything about me is a weird flex

  • I invented two novel fire eating tricks, one of which involves my split tongue
  • I can scratch the back of my skull through my nose with an icepick. I can also put a running power drill in my nose or feed a silicone tube through and out the mouth
  • I often shave with a torch or lighter

I've been running every single day for the past 4.5 years or so. Not counting the days anymore. Related to that, my smart scale puts my physical age at 17 years below my real age. Before I started running, the same scale had my physical age 21 years above my real age.

b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore.

Grew up without hot running water and I can relate. It's only a problem in some hotels really, where the showers don't get cold enough.

My weird flex would be being so accustomed to command line that I don't know how to use well, and get frustrated by, GUI applications.

I have an adorable little polycule!

I'm a married adult in my 30s, my wife and I are polyamorous and we both have partners that are also partnered to each other.

I get to have pretty fantastic sex quite a lot lol I'm super happy but I can't really discuss much in my daily life. But it's pretty great

Sometimes, my sneezes smell like buttercups.

Sometimes I'll sneeze, and people will ask who is wearing perfume, or comment that someone's clothes smell like they were fresh out of the wash. What's actually happening is they're breathing my spores, and they love it.

I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.

Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.

Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must've never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).

Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.

Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there's not much AC in Finland for the summer...

The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.
