Kingdom Hearts. People love it. I do not.

clarifying edit: the whole Disney meets Final Fantasy concept is just like peanut butter and pickles to me. I like (classic) FF, I don't hate Disney, but the two just do not go together. From the plot summaries and fan videos I've come across, it strikes me that whoever writes this stuff loves to set things up but never knows how to resolve them, so I think I'd end up hating it even if I did find the concept appealing.

Oh and the fact Sora got into Smash over Waluigi still burns.

Honestly nothing. It's almost like a compulsion, where I feel like if I ignore something I'm a bad person.

[-] washbasin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

It's nice to know I'm not alone in this feeling. Good luck and try not to be too self critical.

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Most things honestly. I go to possibly unhealthy lengths to put mental blocks between me and the world.

The kardashian universe. I’ve never seen an ep, don’t know their names or whatever the fuck they do or say. As a 30 year old woman I feel like a unicorn not knowing shit about fuck when it comes to that whole thing.

Cars. I drive them, but I leave the technology to the professionals.

It takes up a third of your income but you have no interest in it ?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Why would I waste a third of my income on a car? If push comes to shove, it may be between 5 and 8%.

I thought I was the only one.

I studied computers down to the transistor level. I know many of the different cells in the immune cascade. I've researched child psychology.

But ask me to explain what a car's transmission is and the only thing in my brain is dial-up tones...

I had a thought while watching the Winter Olympics recently. Perhaps the Olympic Committee could send an every day hobbyist first. As sort of an OMG this course is bonkers. Just watch. Let’s say we take the type of skier hitting the Giant Slalom with nothing but some apres ski big talk & bragging of mogul crushing skills and let the poor mf’er do a gravity and inertia display? I’d watch. Then, the Olympic athletes would showcase their passion, skills & talented dedication towards this common sought goal.

Sports are fine when you do them. Watching strangers perform is quite uninteresting.

Why people are infatuated with celebrities.

Hobby Horsing. It really is a thing and it’s not something freaky deaky strange. It’s just kinda cringy & well why not ditch the pretend horse thing and just parkour? That there is another thing that I don’t care about. I do enjoy the outtakes of parkour mishaps. On second thought, if a highlight reel of Hobby Horsing accidents exists, I’d absolutely watch. It could really be quite entertaining.

Stick with me here, Hobby Jousting.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

I am so down for this.

Sports culture. Betting, fantasy leagues, statistics. I immediately flatline if the conversation turns to it

Celebrities, French language

[-] WhiteRice@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

The French language exists purely so that there can be English speaking with a French accent.

AmericaUS. l I'm just done with them. I'd like it if they just STFU for a good long while. Leave everyone else alone while they implode themselves in the stupidest of ways.

I think it's funnier if I just never attempt to "get it"

The need to have a giant house / car / other oversized, impractical status symbol. It just reeks of insecurity and it's all bullshit, no one needs houses that big it's just plain fucking stupid.
