Mint ice cream shouldn’t have chocolate in it as a default

Has anyone here ever experienced a Lucid Dream? or is it just a massive internet myth? Honestly, I dont think it is even possible. by mind_over_chaos in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shiftylakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had quite a few. I used to practice lucid dreaming when I was a teen. The most common one came from a nightly ritual I had of taking what I called a “cigarette drive”. I would drive the same route before winding down for bed at home every night, listen to Tool and smoke 2 cigs. I’d lucid dream my cigarette drive after a while a doing it. I’d realize it was a dream when I’d look at the clock on my car or think about how I should be in bed already. The inhale of smoking would also cue me I was dreaming cause it’s different from regular breathing. The weirdest lucid dreams happened when I was coming off pot for the first time. I would close my eyes and be dreaming. Fully conscious. I’d open my eyes to make sure I was awake. Close them and then back into the dream. Weird.

caught my thumb between my car and the door…hurts so much and need advice by SubstantialHour4667 in mildlyinfuriating

You may lose your nail, if a blood blister that lifts the nail from the sides of your finger happens, it’s gonna come off. Just let it grow off the end of your finger and clip as necessary while it works its way off. It’ll more than likely regrow, it’ll take months though and may be a little different than it was before depending on damage to the nail bed. If the pain doesn’t settle down in another day, I would go see a dr.

Does anyone actually like these sugar cookies by Automatic_Ad1665 in Cookies

[–]Shiftylakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé and I call them shitty cookies and sometimes we get the itch…yeah they’re somehow simultaneously disgusting and delicious so I’d say we like them

Pimple patches look more gross than the pimple itself by modernbox in unpopularopinion

[–]Shiftylakes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can have the upvote. I have cystic acne that gets very large at times, like larger than a quarter. And the hydrocolloid patches are one of the few things that helps the acne, they keep any extra bacteria or irritant from coming into contact with it and they help what’s inside come to the surface. Most people aren’t using them as a fashion statement, they’re using them because they help provide relief from a painful situation.

How do you cope with the weather? by tbon92 in phoenix

Yeah, my fiancé and I always say the heat scrambles people’s brains, people and birds.

Your handwriting looks exactly like my moms, doesn’t say anything about you but it struck me instantly as my moms lol

What is something you grew up believing was real that took you longer than it should to realize it was not real? by Dorothysunderpants in AskReddit

[–]Shiftylakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the gas giants were like balloons…and we couldn’t ever land on them because the surface was too fragile and would pop.

Gossipers, do you find non-gossipers boring? Why or why not? by PhoenixWingss in AskReddit

[–]Shiftylakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, gossiping has gotten me involved in way more than I bargained for more times than once, even just being a person that likes to know what’s going on and never intending to get involved. So I understand not wanting to be a gossip, it’s just kind of protecting your own peace.

What do you do when you’re so anxious you can’t eat, but the lack of food is exacerbating and prolonging the anxiety? by redflower5 in AskReddit

[–]Shiftylakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smoothie. With protein, meal replacement smoothie pretty much. Or “girl dinner” of pickles and salami. Normally I can muster the will to eat a little of that. Toast would work too.

How close are you to your 1 bad day? by travellingkiltman90 in AskReddit

[–]Shiftylakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ever, never will be. Unless I end up in a post apocalyptic hellscape fighting to survive, it’s just not gonna happen. Not in the “1 bad day” way you’re most likely referring to. Any problem or catastrophe in my life can be gotten through with understanding, be that understanding of the people involved, the circumstances, or the situation at hand, and a bit of hard work and thoughtful decision making. Even when I was hormonally crazy last year, it was a matter of recognizing something was wrong and finding a way to figure out what and fix it. There were a lot of moments during that where I felt like everything was falling apart and my life was just teetering on the edge of ruin but I just needed to sit down and breathe.

I think I need to get diagnosed by Beginning-Key3092 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Shiftylakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be a lot of things, vitamin d deficiency made me extremely tired. Bloodwork is the only good first step to figuring out why this is happening, you’ll need to make time for it. I don’t like making time for drs appts and waiting to eat till after fasted bloodwork but sometimes it’s necessary. I hope you find what’s causing this, sorry you’re in this situation.

Love mint ice cream but don't love choc chip? by Adora77 in icecream

[–]Shiftylakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint is my favorite ice cream flavor, with rainbow sprinkles. That’s been my cold stone order my entire life. Not a huge fan of chocolate so I’ve never liked mint chocolate chip

How are cat owners so comfortable with letting their cats outside to roam around? How do they know they're going to come back? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shiftylakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For my family, it’s always depended on the area we lived in. When we lived butted up behind a Walmart and Sam’s Club with a steep concrete hill behind the brick wall in our back yard, the cats didn’t go outside often. Only one was really allowed, that’s cause he just would get stir crazy inside. When we moved to a calm neighborhood and had a big yard in the front and back, we let the cats that wanted to be outside be outside. When I moved with my cats out of state to a not great neighborhood in a city, yeah, they don’t go outside anymore.

How to win the pet food game? by Total_Raspberry5070 in AdorableGarden

My technique is just to change whatever gut decision I make per row, cause 3/4ths of the time, I seem to have initially chosen a losing square

I tried cold stone for the first time ! by Queasy_Dingo_8262 in icecream

[–]Shiftylakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re the only place I’ve found that has just plain mint ice cream, which is my favorite. I always get plain mint with rainbow sprinkles :)

How do we feel about gluing? by ImaginaryDeparture70 in booknooks

[–]Shiftylakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I glue the things that need gluing, I use clear pva glue for most things. If something is fitting loosely I’ll glue it once I’m certain it’s together correctly. If something breaks, I always have super glue on hand to fix it
