Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don’t make sense to me.

Have you ever known someone who got injured loads and seemed to be proud of it?

When I was a kid and teenager there were a couple of people who somehow managed to get broken or sprained bones over and over and over again. Some of them really seemed to like the attention associated with it and would make sure they got into school even when they could’ve taken loads of days off

People even do this into adult life! What are they doing that leads to so many injuries??

I’m glad my “character design” is just that scar, though. My prescription glasses were scratched when this happened — without them I’d need to change my class from rogue to pirate! (I also got a small scar just above the lip, from the same event. But it’s usually hidden by the beard.)

I had bad acne scarring that really confused me because it actually looked like someone had taken a blade to my face a long time ago, and i was a bit miffed that i didn’t have a good story behind it 😮‍💨

Gotta agree with [deleted], it’s all about making some story up. Let’s say you fought a jaguar in the wild! (Or a cat if you want something more believable.)

Does anybody else get so distracted by a good view out of the window?

I find myself wanting to stare out of the window for at least 2 mintues straight, committing the whole view to my memory, for many spaces I’m in. The higher up off the ground it is, or the further you can see, the better it is.

If I don’t get my 2-5 minutes of window time the window will distract me every time I’m in that room. I’ll steal glances, convinced that something changed without me noticing.

We used to be in an 11th floor office on the water and the view out of those windows was like eating a piece of cake, it was so beautiful. And once at the job before that, the shipping manager came to laugh at me & my coworker, grown-ass women, because we were watching a construction crane out the window at work, we were both fascinated with it. Because it was fascinating!

I’ve always been really into clouds, so I get distracted fairly often.

But I think it’s really awesome to just look outside. I feel like people aren’t as keen to just absorb the world around them or to be curious about all that’s around us.

I stopped my partner on a walk recently to listen to the bees in the freshly blooming tree we were under. She said she never would have noticed.

I’ve gotten that same answer from others when I’ve said that I love walking through neighborhoods and smelling when someone is doing laundry. It just smells really good and it makes me feel good.

Burgers and chips

I found some frozen burger patties in the freezer but didn’t have buns or the ability to buy any. So I made some.

While thinking about the side dish I figured I would make some potato chips and try making carrot chips too. Learned that carrot chips need to be a bit thicker than potatoes. And that they will turn your oil orange.

Beef was free from prior house guests. Cost per person $1.25

Exactly. It’s a self limiting process.

Maybe, but that will be a wonderful few minutes.

As for cooking, it could also be worth videos of the process or other pertinent elements, as well as blog posts.
