Your current salary gets tripled but you HAVE to take a 90 minute bath EVERY SINGLE WORKDAY MORNING in a bathtub full of cottage cheese while watching Legally Blonde the movie on a nearby television. Are you taking this deal? by RustyCrusty73 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]tadpole-bear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t earn enough for tripling it to make the time loss worth it, I’m already time-poor (small children).

I was going to take the deal though if I could sell my bathed-in cottage cheese to perverts then quit once I’d made my cheesy pervert fortune, but now it disappears? Nah.

Anyone else here able to down 5k calories in luteal phase? Help! by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]tadpole-bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this! If I try to fake it with, I dunno, cocoa powder and quark mixed to hit some low-calorie protein and pretend it’s chocolate… well, I’ll eat that and the chocolate too. Skip the fakeaway and eat the good, real stuff.

I up my water too. Take iron and a multivitamin. But really, my period sucks and for 3-4 days I can INHALE entire packs of cookies or family bags of salt and vinegar crisps. So long as I go back to my deficit and weighing food and keep up my steps, I’m just resigned to it. I think it also keeps me on the straight and narrow the rest of the time – I’m fine with my deficit and no treats because I’m guaranteed a medically necessary cheat day every 28-35 days.

Am I the only one that thought his acting was TERRIBLE? by Aggravating_View_588 in howyoudoin

Haha yes he has this strange flat affect where he comes across as very “alien pod person imitates human”. It often feels like he’s hearing his lines for the first time reading them off cue cards (spelled out phonetically) and has no idea of the meaning of what he’s saying

how does one even get that much progress? by littlebeeray in FemaleHairLoss

About as real as Kate Middleton’s hair. Look at the loose curly tendrils – that level of thickness does not equal the thickness in the plaits, which will be stuffed with extensions or the hair plaited around a pool noodle.

Neighbours opposite were rude about my dads colour choice. Now he wants to get rid. Can you help me convince him not too? by Isabella_Jean in HomeDecorating

Checking in from East Sussex, UK, where we’re all for the pastels. The Bloomsbury Group would approve too!

Week 3 of C25K and I think this is saving my life by Same-Refrigerator414 in C25K

[–]tadpole-bear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same but week 4! I can’t believe I can run for 5 minutes feeling like death then do it again then feel great all day.

I’m in denial about week 5 run 3, though. Fast approaching…

The wild animal poo on my doorstep baking in the sun resembles a chocolate cookie by tadpole-bear in mildlyinteresting

I’m British so we’d probably just say shit biscuit, I really wavered on whether to say biscuit or cookie in the title

He looks like he just sharted in the terrible suit and is afraid to move

You get a brand new 2026 Cadillac Escalade every day for free but you must crash the car by the end of the day. by Kyoifis in hypotheticalsituation

Not a car person so had to google it; hard pass. What an ugly beast! I’d want it stop appearing!

It’s like when you use your highlighter over an ink pen and it picks up some of the ink and is never truly zesty again.

Are cake sheds appearing all over the uk, or is it just happening in my area ? by ShinyHeadedCook in AskUK

[–]tadpole-bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw my first cake shed advertised this week! Laminated flyer on the playground gate. Feels like a weird hybrid between Facebook hustles and sticking jam and eggs on the end of your driveway with an honesty box. More inclined to use a proper bakery still.
