Bam! You've been weir-ed.
- Weiredly mesmerizing

I'm a man and wear a skirt, that's not the deal. But when nobody is around, I start spinning. It's such a great feeling!
- That's not weird, that's cool lol
  
  🤣 now i really wanna do this LMAO
- I kinda wish skirts for men could be a more popular thing. They seem comfy and convenient
  
  Well, someone has to start, so... Be the change you want to see^^
  
  They don't have to be "for men". You can just wear whatever you want :)
  
  They're called kilts and they've been popular for ages in Scotland
- Just skirts or kilts as well?
  
  Just skirts. To get a kilt would be somehow difficult for me & it's not something I would really want, so...
- Dress go spinny!

Go for walks in the middle of the night. Like in a residential neighborhood, or an industrial district. It’s just so peaceful.
- That's the only time I can walk my dogs in my neighborhood. Too many people have their dogs off leash.

I like getting "worked on", I guess you could say? Like... I like going to the dentist, for example. Anything that kinda hurts but is for my own good, and involves just staying still on a chair/table while somebody else takes care of it.
- Being forced to keep perfectly still while my jaw is cranked open and someone scrapes away at my teeth is oddly relaxing. I literally almost fell asleep once.
  
  I'm able to fall asleep during an MRI scan.
  
  Woa.. Lol
  
  I fell asleep while getting fillings. They woke me up at the end.
  Haircuts are another one that puts me straight to sleep.
  
  Damn... you lucky. I need heavy sedation just to get my anxiety under control, or at least tamped down
- That means you're the dentist's favorite, makes it easy for them.

Updating software. Windows, iOS, Android, Windows Phone (sniff!) among others.
- I'm like this too. Watching the update progress bar complete is like peeling those plastic things off of new phones, TVs etc.
  
  Yeah. I like the defragmenting tool in the past too.
- I miss my Windows Phones everyday....
- That's a reasonable thing to do from a security standpoint.
- Do you feel it's akin to showering or more like healing infected wounds?
  
  It’s… relaxing….

I talk to my dog while walking. “Do you want to go this way or that? Don’t go in there, that’s not our garden. Hey look, doggies! Shall we go and say hello? It’s ok, don’t be frightened, it’s a cement mixer, it won’t hurt you. Oh, are we going home now?”
- Talking to your pet is supposed to be weird? Wait ... am I weird?
  
  My cat says not to worry-- it's normal.
- I talk to my animals a lot. Also inanimate objects. If I sit a bag on my car I may tell the soda not to roll around and point at it warningly.
- Oh man, I have a constant dialogue with my dogs when we go for a walk. To be honest, I do a fair bit of talking to them at home too.

I like wearing my wetsuit when I'm alone, sometimes I even sleep in it. I like the look and feel of neoprene.
- Neoprene can be quite cozy. A lot of people like it! I just wish it didn't have that strong smell as much.

I microwave my ice cream. Not until it's completely melted, but till there is just the right mix of melty and firm. Even better is eating microwaved ice cream in the middle of winter while cuddled under and electric blanket. Pure bliss!
- As a kid, I liked to turn my ice cream into an actual creamy texture by repeatedly stabbing it with my spoon.
  I looked like a maniac doing it, but the result is great
  
  I was a dumb kid, went for the same consistency in the grossest way possible, which was putting spoonfuls in my mouth, spitting it back into the bowl and mixing it in. One day an older friend saw that, horrified. Told me to just stir the ice cream for a while instead and I stopped with the saliva ice cream shenanigans from then on.
- Woa. Will definitely try this
- I have a phobia of partially melted ice cream...
  This would be a special kind of hell for me...
- You monster.
  I wholeheartedly disagree with microwaving it though. It changes the flavor.

Well I've spent the last three days thoroughly entranced by the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship, which it turns out is a thing. So idk, maybe that?
- I was just wondering what to do today so... thank you.
  
  It's the most technologically lacking sporting event with the most clueless commentators who don't even know the rules. But it's wholesome af regardless.

I'll go first...
perfect, smoooth fart... And the lightness that follows after... Very Soothing

I eat strawberries whole. The green part and all
- Wow, i eat oranges like tangerine
- The green part is awful on its own but it makes the strawberry as a whole taste so much better.

Look nerdy videos of people doing nerdy stuff, that I will never do myself.
Also, doing system updates

Walking around naked
- For me, sleeping naked 🤣
  
  I’m not sure that is weird?
  
  I’ve been sleeping naked for 20 years
- Being naked is underrated.
- Lately, I've been going to nude beaches and resorts with friends. Felt weird for the first 15 minutes or so, then feels rather normal. Upsides are no tanlines and no wet bathingsuits. Downsides are that you go through a surprising amount of sunscreen.
  
  If I lived close to one, I’d definitely being going
- That's not weird.
  
  It is when you do it at the supermarket, airport or shopping mall!

Sometimes when I get pissed off at life I go do a little sky screamimg. Basically I go out in my lawn and yell FUCK or RAAAGGGUUHHH at the sky until I feel better. Benefits of living in the country, nieghbors haven't said shit.
- Well, I wouldn't call out the guy next door screaming profanity either. Don't mess with crazy!
- neighbours haven’t said shit.
  Probably too scared.
  “FollyDolly’s out screaming again. I’m gonna say something!”
  “No, don’t. It’ll be more trouble than what it’s worth.”
  “They’re scaring the children!”
  “And what if they come back with a knife? What then, Karen?”
  “Ok, but I’m writing it in my FollyDolly Scream Journal for evidence.”
  
  Lol

listening, and singing along, to Ke$ha.
- I wish I could say that in 2023 people would be past judging others for "basic music taste" but I still see people on the internet shitting on artists like Katy Perry. It's okay to not like an artist, but it's not bad music, it's definitively good and well made.
  Ke$ha is a persona she puts on, and she has catchy music! Be proud of that shit!

Not sure if "secret" applies, but you know I'm dancing when that perfect song comes on at Walmart or the grocery store or wherever.
- I sing in public frequently. (I'm trained, so I know I'm not fully torturing the public lol)
  
  "Gentlemen we found the culprit!" 🤣🤣
  
  I don't know how to put this tactfully, but impromptu public performance of any kind is widely considered torture.
- Woa, I do this when the song jibes with me ( when rhythmic in perfect sync with what i'm doing)

I like Psychedelics. They are simply exactly the thing that triggers an ADHD brain that likes Cinema, Theatre, Action, Climbing on cranes, breaking in to abandoned buildings, riding the bike with 50km/h etc.
I dont like drugs normal people like. That numb you. Standard tobacco (hate it) and alcohol (dont really get it/ think its pretty unhealthy to get used to it). Then the "drug taking people" go on with Ecstasy, coke, speed etc. I also dont like these.
I want something interesting, mushrooms, LSD, DMT, Salvia Divinorum... the drugs people are scared of, as they produce intense experiences. They are not made to escape something, you need to be really stable to enjoy them.
- Damn, I'm not stable at all. Guess I'll stick to cannabis and crack.
  
  Equal as all things should be.
  No shit, do you combine that?
  
  Lol

Doing little dance steps while walking around the office.

I like listening to multiple songs at the same time. Like, playing a video game, while listening to music, but not also muting the game's music, so I hear both at once.
- Some interesting melodies often come from this 🤣

I like frozen peas
- my summer treat as a kid was a cup of frozen peas
- I like frozen corn

Usually, not too weird.
But I guess what qualifies as 'weird' is that I enjoy consuming snus / oral tobacco when masturbating. And exclusively when masturbating.

I like to drown cookies in water. It just tastes better. There I said it.
- 🤣 i sometimes enjoy wet bread, its like eating a fluffy butter? Awesome

I secretly enjoy the combination of water-melon and table salt.... (TBH oranges, nanas, cados, any fruit that crosses my hands with table salt)
Ate this in public once, people thought i was nuts
- You should try the watermelon with Tajin or something similar. It’s basically a seasoning of chili peppers, lime and sea salt
- I tried combination of tortilla and papaya a while back, sold then and there... i secretly do this up to date!
- You're secretly asian. We dip all kinds of fruit (usually tart ones) into chili salt. Unripe mangoes and guava are my faves.
- I think i saw you before or not. You might not be the only one that does this. Yes its weird to me.

I enjoy a nicely cooked brussel sprout.

I like to keep the tap in my bathroom sink squeaky clean and shiny at all times so that there's not even a single water stain on it, so I give it a wipe every time I use it - which is several times a day.

Nobody normal has ever enjoyed doing my wife. Heck normal folks don’t even get a chance to try
- I also choose this guy’s……
  Wait, I forgot where I was for a minute. Sorry.
  
  It's all right, grandpa, I'll get the walker, let's get you back to the bed, you can send the updoots to my left.
- Now i'm confused
