I recently saw an ad for biscoff and I was surprised that people would eat them randomly. The only time I ever eat biscoff is on a plane when the flight attendant gives me some. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love them but I rarely think about it as something I can just go buy in a store. Seeing the ad was so jarring because to me it doesn’t feel like something I should eat a lower altitudes

    When I pour Pepsi into a glass I put my nose over it and feel the bubbles fizz on my nose. I’ve done this since I was about 7 years old.

    I like barking and do it well enough that some dogs bark back to me. Most won’t, but some also have funny reactions.

    When browsing through used books, I try to guess which year the book was published based on typefaces, graphics, etc. and check with the copyright date on one of the front pages. For books published after ~1960, my guess is usually good to within 4 years.

      I do this too, usually because I’ve run across an odd word choice or turn of phrase. I am way less accurate though.

    When I become aware of my hands, I need to position them so that my fingers wouldn’t interfere with each other if they were ten times their length. I think something happened to me when I watched Edward Scissorhands.

    I love Biscoff cookies, but had never had them outside of a snack on a plane either. First time I realized they sold them at stores was when my local Costco started carrying them in giant boxes, which is a little like being Sir Gallahad the Chaste, and stumbling into the castle Anthrax.

    Aldi has a pretty goof knockoff version in normal size packages if you have problems with moderation 😉

    But to answer your question, a long time ago, my wife and I did the “Love you”, “Love you too”, “Love you… three?” thing, and apparently got up to 5 before we decided it was silly. Many years later, “Love you five” is the normal response to “Love you”.

    While lounging, I will interlink my big toes. I honestly didn’t know I did it until my wife saw it and with a look of horror asked what I was doing 😆

    I’m not superstitious, but when I’m walking on sidewalks or tile floors I have tended to try to avoid cracks or lines. It’s an easy but engaging puzzle to try to do it while maintaining a normal gait, like the ambulatory equivalent of Sudoku.

    Then, one day, my high school geometry teacher taught us about angle bisectors and the game changed permanently. Now, in addition to visible lines, any line intersections now produce invisible bisector rays that must also be avoided. I made a picture to show where you can’t step on a sidewalk. It has been decades since high school geometry and I still try to avoid bisector lines any time I’m on a suitable floor. I have never added another rule to the game since, and it wasn’t til this post that I thought about how strange that is.

    A few years ago I decided I wanted to improve my hand flute skills and began consciously practicing daily. Since then, I have developed the habit of playing the hand flute automatically when my hands are not busy.
