When I get fast food, I don't eat the fries until I get home.

When I feel bad emotionally, I clean. I do the nastiest, most unpleasant jobs; since I'm gonna be miserable no matter what, I might as well get some use out of it.

Perfectionism, I always strive to make whatever I create or do as close to perfect as possible!

Doing my job consistently enough to pay my bills

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'm extremely consistent with my weightlifting program (1.5 years aww yeah!)

Starting to lift with the best decision I ever made and the best habit I've ever formed. Nagging aches and pains are basically a thing of the past. I'm way more useful, and my lower body, which was once withered and useless after a decade of working in an office, have been replaced with tree trunks and a dump-truck ass

A couple of the accessory benefits of this that in order to support my lifting progress I now eat way better, quit drinking and prioritize proper sleep. Overall it's just been a huge increase in quality of life

Whenever I see on Youtube Shorts something too crazy to be true, I immediately do a quick research and don't stop until I have three sources (counting wikipedia) to corroborate the information.

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

When i post on asklemmy i write my individual answer as a comment, so people can reply to it instead of the post, where should just be answers to the question.

I say the opposite: fries get cold too fast, they SHOULD be eaten before you get home.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Heated seats ftw.

When I'm really dragging at work I take a nap.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I mostly get naked in private

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

I weigh 175lbs naked, but you really can't trust those grocery store scales.

Everytime I get a meal with vegetables I eat that first no matter what else is on the plate. I think of it working my way to the best part of the meal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice. My dad is always a firm believer of eating vegetables last to help with digestion, but there are benefits both ways lol

I brought this article up to him a while ago and while he's pretty set on his routine he has changed it up a little if he really wants to enjoy a steak or something as the last bite.

Every day I get up, get on the exercise bike and watch an episode of Star Trek.

Thanks to this, I've seen nearly every episode of Star Trek multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

ToS, NextGen, DS9, Voyager or are you a heretic I need to burn at the stake?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

I rotate between all of em.

Except Picard and Disco...

First thing I do once I've checked into the workplace is to itemize what I'd like to get done today. And I list a bunch but they're priorities and not requirements. So I have 8 on the list knowing I'll only do 3 and then 5 will carry.

And I forgive myself if something comes up and it hoses my achievements. And I refer to it often as I get unfocused fast.

Keeps me on track.

Is the fry thing really your best habit?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Aren’t they cold by then?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy's . Ensures they are hot and crispy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Interestingly enough, my local Wendy's has the best fries out of any fast food chains I've tried. They are consistently perfectly crisp and salted. Better than how I even remember McDonald's fries in their heyday.

I do know that Wendy's leaves more up to their franchisees than some places, so maybe I just got lucky with the people who own the one by me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn't exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ Still didn't have to cook or do dishes!

Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it's weird but actually not a bad habit to have!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Maybe true, but they still taste nasty when cold
