What do you secretly, and weiredly enjoy doing? We will not judge 😊

I'm a man and wear a skirt, that's not the deal. But when nobody is around, I start spinning. It's such a great feeling!

Just skirts or kilts as well?

Just skirts. To get a kilt would be somehow difficult for me & it's not something I would really want, so...

Go for walks in the middle of the night. Like in a residential neighborhood, or an industrial district. It’s just so peaceful.

That's the only time I can walk my dogs in my neighborhood. Too many people have their dogs off leash.

I like getting "worked on", I guess you could say? Like... I like going to the dentist, for example. Anything that kinda hurts but is for my own good, and involves just staying still on a chair/table while somebody else takes care of it.

Being forced to keep perfectly still while my jaw is cranked open and someone scrapes away at my teeth is oddly relaxing. I literally almost fell asleep once.

I fell asleep while getting fillings. They woke me up at the end.

Haircuts are another one that puts me straight to sleep.

Damn... you lucky. I need heavy sedation just to get my anxiety under control, or at least tamped down

Updating software. Windows, iOS, Android, Windows Phone (sniff!) among others.

That's a reasonable thing to do from a security standpoint.

I talk to my dog while walking. “Do you want to go this way or that? Don’t go in there, that’s not our garden. Hey look, doggies! Shall we go and say hello? It’s ok, don’t be frightened, it’s a cement mixer, it won’t hurt you. Oh, are we going home now?”

I talk to my animals a lot. Also inanimate objects. If I sit a bag on my car I may tell the soda not to roll around and point at it warningly.

Oh man, I have a constant dialogue with my dogs when we go for a walk. To be honest, I do a fair bit of talking to them at home too.

I like wearing my wetsuit when I'm alone, sometimes I even sleep in it. I like the look and feel of neoprene.

Neoprene can be quite cozy. A lot of people like it! I just wish it didn't have that strong smell as much.

I microwave my ice cream. Not until it's completely melted, but till there is just the right mix of melty and firm. Even better is eating microwaved ice cream in the middle of winter while cuddled under and electric blanket. Pure bliss!

As a kid, I liked to turn my ice cream into an actual creamy texture by repeatedly stabbing it with my spoon.

I looked like a maniac doing it, but the result is great

I was a dumb kid, went for the same consistency in the grossest way possible, which was putting spoonfuls in my mouth, spitting it back into the bowl and mixing it in. One day an older friend saw that, horrified. Told me to just stir the ice cream for a while instead and I stopped with the saliva ice cream shenanigans from then on.

Kids aren't the smartest sometimes, you and me both certainly weren't exempt from that rule

But you had the right idea. I mean hey, it's called ice cream for a reason, no?

I have a phobia of partially melted ice cream...

This would be a special kind of hell for me...

You monster.

I wholeheartedly disagree with microwaving it though. It changes the flavor.

I'll go first...

perfect, smoooth fart... And the lightness that follows after... Very Soothing

Walking around naked

For me, sleeping naked 🤣

I’m not sure that is weird?

Definitely not weird. I know a lot of people who sleep naked.

I’ve been sleeping naked for 20 years

That's intermediate level. I've been sleeping naked for 30 years.

That's intermediate level.

Ooh there are levels now 😂

Lately, I've been going to nude beaches and resorts with friends. Felt weird for the first 15 minutes or so, then feels rather normal. Upsides are no tanlines and no wet bathingsuits. Downsides are that you go through a surprising amount of sunscreen.

If I lived close to one, I’d definitely being going

I eat strawberries whole. The green part and all

The green part is awful on its own but it makes the strawberry as a whole taste so much better.

Well I've spent the last three days thoroughly entranced by the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship, which it turns out is a thing. So idk, maybe that?

I was just wondering what to do today so... thank you.

It's the most technologically lacking sporting event with the most clueless commentators who don't even know the rules. But it's wholesome af regardless.

Look nerdy videos of people doing nerdy stuff, that I will never do myself.

Also, doing system updates

Sometimes when I get pissed off at life I go do a little sky screamimg. Basically I go out in my lawn and yell FUCK or RAAAGGGUUHHH at the sky until I feel better. Benefits of living in the country, nieghbors haven't said shit.

Well, I wouldn't call out the guy next door screaming profanity either. Don't mess with crazy!

neighbours haven’t said shit.

Probably too scared.

“FollyDolly’s out screaming again. I’m gonna say something!”

“No, don’t. It’ll be more trouble than what it’s worth.”

“They’re scaring the children!”

“And what if they come back with a knife? What then, Karen?”

“Ok, but I’m writing it in my FollyDolly Scream Journal for evidence.”

listening, and singing along, to Ke$ha.

I wish I could say that in 2023 people would be past judging others for "basic music taste" but I still see people on the internet shitting on artists like Katy Perry. It's okay to not like an artist, but it's not bad music, it's definitively good and well made.

Ke$ha is a persona she puts on, and she has catchy music! Be proud of that shit!

Not sure if "secret" applies, but you know I'm dancing when that perfect song comes on at Walmart or the grocery store or wherever.

I sing in public frequently. (I'm trained, so I know I'm not fully torturing the public lol)

I don't know how to put this tactfully, but impromptu public performance of any kind is widely considered torture.

I don't think anyone minds me singing to myself as I walk by. I'm not standing in the queue belting out opera lol

Woa, I do this when the song jibes with me ( when rhythmic in perfect sync with what i'm doing)

I like Psychedelics. They are simply exactly the thing that triggers an ADHD brain that likes Cinema, Theatre, Action, Climbing on cranes, breaking in to abandoned buildings, riding the bike with 50km/h etc.

I dont like drugs normal people like. That numb you. Standard tobacco (hate it) and alcohol (dont really get it/ think its pretty unhealthy to get used to it). Then the "drug taking people" go on with Ecstasy, coke, speed etc. I also dont like these.

I want something interesting, mushrooms, LSD, DMT, Salvia Divinorum... the drugs people are scared of, as they produce intense experiences. They are not made to escape something, you need to be really stable to enjoy them.

I like listening to multiple songs at the same time. Like, playing a video game, while listening to music, but not also muting the game's music, so I hear both at once.

Some interesting melodies often come from this 🤣

Usually, not too weird.

But I guess what qualifies as 'weird' is that I enjoy consuming snus / oral tobacco when masturbating. And exclusively when masturbating.

I secretly enjoy the combination of water-melon and table salt.... (TBH oranges, nanas, cados, any fruit that crosses my hands with table salt)

Ate this in public once, people thought i was nuts

You should try the watermelon with Tajin or something similar. It’s basically a seasoning of chili peppers, lime and sea salt

I think i saw you before or not. You might not be the only one that does this. Yes its weird to me.

You're secretly asian. We dip all kinds of fruit (usually tart ones) into chili salt. Unripe mangoes and guava are my faves.

I tried combination of tortilla and papaya a while back, sold then and there... i secretly do this up to date!

I like to keep the tap in my bathroom sink squeaky clean and shiny at all times so that there's not even a single water stain on it, so I give it a wipe every time I use it - which is several times a day.

Nobody normal has ever enjoyed doing my wife. Heck normal folks don’t even get a chance to try

I also choose this guy’s……

Wait, I forgot where I was for a minute. Sorry.

It's all right, grandpa, I'll get the walker, let's get you back to the bed, you can send the updoots to my left.
