Ask Lemmy

IPA beers. Most of my friends like them but despite all the different IPAs Ive tried, not a single one of them was particularly enjoyable to drink.

Pickles. I love fermenting things (beer, bread, yogurt, cheese, jalapeños) but cucumbers are gross in any form.

Mushrooms.

Waking up to a new day.

Money. When it comes to motivation when job searching, it's probably one of the last things in my priority list. Not really motivated by it, it's just that I value ease of travel, environment, hours, stress amount (or lack there of) way more, and I probably could achieve more and grow more as a person if I was after positions that offered more money. As things are right now, however, I'm completely fine just taking it easy.

Star Wars. I'm literally the only Gen Xer I know who didn't grow up a huge fan of the first three movies and didn't care for all the toys associated with them. That continued into adulthood--I never got the hype for the newer movies or the modern series.

Whiskey. I can be pretentious about good beer, bread, chocolate or coffee, but I’ve just never tasted a difference between whiskeys. Granted I haven’t made too serious an attempt but it Hardly seems worth it. How can I finish becoming a snob if I don’t like good whiskey?

Tropical fruits like mangos, pineapples, and coconut (not a fruit i know). They look and smell good and other people really like them but I can't stand the taste

Vegetables. And fruit. They're obviously very healthy - essential even. I have them in almost every meal, but I hate the taste of all of them. Apart from potatoes I suppose, but all the others.

Engineering. Programming. Any kind of field with good jobs or stability.

I don't know how to articulate it properly, but I can't care about anything that is human-focused. I tried engineering and it made me extremely uncomfortable; like my soul broke apart and got put back together in the wrong way. Doomed to be a poor af zoologist/plant biologist :(

Mayonnaise. It's on or in a lot of stuff. I just can't stand it.

Exercise in all forms

Its boring and tedious.

Strength training?

Life up that heavy thing. Great. Now put it back. Repeat 9 times.

Its nice for people who enjoy it. I find it to be .. literally the most pointless thing you can spend your time doing.

Math and by extension programming. It makes sense. Then I fill in the numbers, it enters my brain and then just goes to a garbled mess. I get lost in a for loop. WTF...

I wish I liked eating a ton of raw veggies.

I live by the ocean and sea food is disgusting to me. I see people fishing all the time and I know they're eating good. That smell is such a turn off.

One of my best friends has a strong Japanese accent, the other has a strong lisp, and I'm still not used to either one, and I feel guilty for it.

Star trek

Peanut butter. Somehow, I like peanuts well enough, but I can’t stand peanut butter. It’s literally the only food I avoid, and the only food I had a rough reaction to while pregnant. I’d like to at least not hate it, but I have such a gut reaction to eating it, I don’t see a future I would ever get over it.

Some people can't handle popcorn ceiling. That's just hard cottage cheese.

I can't handle the kind of "3d Holographic" that was all the rage in the late 90s early 00s.

Did you get a "holo" from your Harry potter brand chocolate frogs?

Then run an index fingernail over that affront to decent human sensibilities and feel what I say.

If I could not respond that way to that stimulus, my life would be improved.

Tomatoes. They help with cancer prevention but I just can’t fucking stand them
