What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?
-
Cocaine. It had absolutely no effect on me other than making me want more instantly. I tried it like three or four times before realizing that it didn't really do anything. Granted, the third and fourth time I only got it because my dealer was exceptionally hot and he allowed me to snort the cocaine off of his abs.
Do you have ADHD?
I've heard that people who do and try coke end up pretty calm or unchanged. -
Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.
A couple of mentions for cocaine here, but for me it was MDMA. I never understood how you could get addicted to anything until I was at the club and I really really really wanted another line of that love powder and immediately decided to never do it again. Then I did it again.

Depends on the device, some really don't like rechargeable ones. And for device that get changed so infrequently, like tv remote, use alkaline.
The brand of rechargeable batteries matters a surprising amount, if your device doesn't play nice maybe try a better brand? My Quest 1 basically only accepts Panasonic Eneloop Pros, I get quite a bit of input lag when using random offbrand rechargeable batteries
-
Adderall
Really? Mine helps quite a bit with focus, but sometimes there are weeks where I forget it exists and just go "huh, aren't I forgetting something?" while walking past the med pile.

I feel similarly about my compact. It's easy to park, it has plenty of space for everything I need, it's adorable, and I fill it like once a month maybe? Honestly sometimes less?
I’ve driven everything due to work, from compact cars to SUVs and even small trucks. I can parallel park with all of them, even with a trailer added.
I have once driven a Smart Fortwo. I could not park. I could touch the rear window from the drivers seat, but I could not park.

If I had to take a guess, it’s probably from the voltage of the battery, if you have a volt meter/multimeter you can test out how the batteries work before putting them in

It’s both! Though Lay’s came first. I looked it up because I couldn’t remember.
Pringles is “once you pop, you can’t stop,” in the mid 1990s.
Lay’s is “betcha can’t eat just one,” starting in the early 1960s!
Now I want chips.

Mine was, oddly enough, LSD. It’s not even physically addictive. I didn’t even particularly enjoyed tripping, but in my day-to-day life I have aphantasia; I can’t visualize anything.
If I asked you to close your eyes and picture an apple, then rate 1-5 how realistic you could make it look, most people would probably land somewhere around a 3 or a 4. Not photorealistic, but it would at least be recognizable as an apple and convey the important parts. A few artists or particularly visual people may land on a photorealistic 5. The people who are more biased towards speech (like an internal monologue) may land closer to a 2, like a rushed sketch, or even a 1 where it’s just a coarse outline and some color.
I land on a 0. I just see the backs of my eyelids. I can describe an apple to you. I can tell you what it smells like, what it tastes like, what color I would want it to be, how big it is, how heavy it is, what it feels like to crunch into it and get a little bit of the peel stuck between your teeth, et cetera… But I can’t visualize it.
I always thought the “picture yourself doing/going/working/etc {x}” types of things were just a figure of speech. Like if I was in elementary school and an art teacher said to picture a thing then draw it, I would just skip the first part. I’d still use my imagination before putting anything on paper, but it wouldn’t be visual.
But with LSD, that’s different. I can actually visualize things. Not particularly well, because everything is wobbling around like it’s made of tiny ocean waves… But I can do it. I quickly found that creative outlets were much easier when I could actually plan things out visually before putting them on paper. It was like I had been stuck using black and white paints my entire life, and then someone handed me some red, green, and blue for the first time. I also quickly realized how boring life was when I couldn’t just conjure images out of the ether at will.
Sadly, shrooms (which is commonly compared to “like doing LSD then smoking a blunt” in terms of feeling) doesn’t do it for me. I guess it doesn’t activate the same parts of my brain. But for whatever reason, LSD specifically allows me to overcome my aphantasia. I haven’t done it in years now, but I occasionally get the whim to try it again. Not enough to actually bother tracking down a new plug, but enough to muse about it while I type out shit like this.

Breathing, the deadliest addiction.
It’s not even the addiction that gets you; It’s the withdrawal symptoms after you quit.

That was probably because it was prescribed to you. For people without ADHD, it’s like capsulized motivation, combined with the best caffeine buzz they’ve ever had.
It’s a scheduled drug specifically because the neurotypicals treat it like cocaine’s little brother. People with ADHD go through hell to get their meds because the neurotypicals just can’t fucking help themselves.

Orgasm.Eerily enough, I would have checked six of these off the list in the past day alone… I banged my wife, cut some fresh chives from our balcony garden for our omelettes, made some pu’erh tea with breakfast, then got a slushie on my way into work at the opera, where I wore my favorite shoes.

is a fidget cube just a Rubik's cube or am I missing something?
