Does anyone just have family that are just batshit crazy?
  • My boyfriend and I were once snapped at during a family gathering because we dared to eat corn on the cob at a barbecue. The argument was something like, "A barbecue is only for meat, everything else is just greens, and the Greens (a german political party) want to ban our schnitzel!!!!1!1!" There's simply nothing else occupying these people's minds anymore—every topic, no matter how unrelated, somehow always gets dragged back to ThE gReEnS, CoViD vAcCiNaTiOnS, or whatever else.

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?
  • I've rewatched some of the old Disney classics and I was thoroughly disappointed by Hercules. I personally don't care that much about the mythological accuracy of it but it was just kind of meh my memorys of the movie were much better.

  • Now that it's Christmas Eve, what are you all planning to do for either Christmas or Christmas Eve?
  • Currently we are decorating the tree then when everyone is here we will eat Hochzeitssuppe and Zungenragout (literal translation would be wedding soup and tongue ragout) which are traditional christmas dishes in our family. Then we open the presents (in Germany you open them usually on Christmas Eve). Tomorrow we will eat roast goose with braised red cabbage and potato dumplings.

    So overall just hanging out with family and eating.

  • Please help resolve a disagreement in our home
  • At my parents we had a similar drawer with miscellaneous stuff but it was organised so it looked somewhat tidy. Currently I don't have a drawer like this, cuz I have a tiny kitchen with only one drawer which is reserved for cutlery.

  • What is something you thought you knew your whole life and only just recently found out you were wrong the whole time?
  • I do have an inner monologue and when I try to visualise something the closest thing I can get is my inner monologue describing the features of the thing I'm trying to see. But no picture appears. It's like my brain only saves the concepts of things, like an apple is round, red, has a little brown stem etc.

  • What is something you thought you knew your whole life and only just recently found out you were wrong the whole time?
  • I recently saw a video of a girl being able to spell words backwards really fast and the way it was described is that she just saw the text of the word in her mind and just read the letters backwards. That is so fascinating to me because that is just so so far from how my brain works, I don't see shit.

  • Lucid dreaming is like being Neo in The Matrix
  • As a kid I used to lucid dream a lot. I would purposely imagine myself in a world or scenario that I wanted to dream of and when I fell asleep while having those thoughts I would lucid dream. It was fairly easy for me, but for some reason I can't anymore. I rarely even remember my normal dreams.

  • Is there a generation of gaming you're just not nostalgic for?
  • Everything that came before the Gameboy and most consoles. My parents had an weird arbitrary rule about my sister and me not being allowed to have consoles but Gameboy or later Nintendo DS were fine. And as a kid I wasn't really aware of the existence of PS Vita or PSP so those I'm also not really nostalgic for.

  • What's your favorite ice cream/gelato flavor?
  • Tbh vanilla from a very specific small ice cream shop in Germany. I don't like vanilla from pretty much anywhere else, there are good flavours in other shops but when I'm visiting my parents I have to go there and get the vanilla. Maybe it's nostalgia but it's my favourite and I don't know what to do if they ever have to close.
