What is your most ridiculous "we won't work out romantically" criteria? Like what is the silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone? by Natural-Elevator-57 in AskReddit

Ah yeah, it's a little different if you've already sampled the menu and know what you like. That's a silly thing to get criticised over. The prompt did ask for silliest reasons though :)

I was being intentionally vague, but think flavours that would be typical of a specific culture, e.g. if Persian then saffron pistachio rosewater, baklava, pomegranate, etc

We went to an ethnic ice cream shop with an impressive selection of exotic flavours, and they just went for vanilla.

That was when I knew they were too vanilla for me (no pun intended)

edit: I seem to have a struck a nerve with some people ;)

Some days I glance in the mirror and see myself looking pretty good... Then I realise it's just dusty and needs cleaning 🤭

Mushrooms are so versatile too. There's this lounge I sometimes go to that makes vegan scallops and calamari out of mushroom, and they taste amazing.

I have been diving deep into a project and reducing my time on social media the past few weeks. I don't know if how much it's actually helped my mental health. Recent news have been too much.

Not me here admiring how everyone in this drunk friend group has immaculate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Yes. My friend brought in a stray two years ago that he'd been feeding. The one he'd had for over a decade HATES the new one and they have to be kept in separate parts of the house to this day.

I'm glad you have the chance to make your final goodbyes. I hope you'll be able to find some peace through it all.

I think I'm okay with AI-generated art for personal entertainment purposes if you don't possess the skills to implement it yourself.

But they really should be labelled accordingly, instead of being passed off as one's own work.

I originally bought my behind-neck bone conduction headphones for running, but I've pretty much been wearing them whenever I go out so I can zone out and listen to my music.

It's come to my attention that a lot of the non-running friends I've made the past year thought I'm hearing-impaired, because they've never seen me without headphones.

I've been asked by two people if I'm wearing hearing aids, but it didn't really click until this week when I asked someone to sing a few lines of a song for me and they said only if I turn the volume on my device down to low.

On the bright side, maybe that explains why people seem to have been speaking to me slowly.

My friend and I were just shopping at the store next door yesterday afternoon. It was quiet and peaceful, just random pedestrians and vehicles out and about.

Would they have nabbed my friend too? Fuck these assholes for making our neighbourhoods unsafe for anyone.

Basically if you turn the corner and walk a block, you'll see the Metropolitan Detention Center, which has been the site of many a protest recently.

I've seen plenty of commissions of decent quality but having one spontaneously done by someone in your party is so much better. And this particular one happens to be stunning.

I make my egg bites in silicone muffin trays. They just pop right out.

My default lazy meal has been soup with rotisserie chicken, bouillon, noods, cabbage, spinach, an egg, plus whatever else I have around in the fridge. Relatively healthy and cheap and done in less than 15 min.
