pelletbucket , in This might be unpopular, but I think Tiktok can be a valuable tool to discover new media (especially movies and TV shows), as long as you use the Revanced version

it's bringing us first-hand accounts from struggles around the country and around the world. it's the reason we had first hand footage of what was really happening in palestine. you get updates from the front lines in Ukraine faster than the news does because you're following the javelin gunner that made the shots. it's the only reason I know what's going on in the country of Georgia right now, it's the only reason I know that there still finding whatever polyvinyl chemicals in the soil of East Palestine Ohio. it's probably going to serve you dancing girls at first, but once it gets to know your tastes, you'll be served videos from archaeologists, biologists, artists and professional divers that have retired to a Caribbean island, who take you along as a member of their team gets the bends through the whole process.

WeLoveCastingSpellz , in Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?

Maybe soften the apple by boiling it? Years ago I read the trick to ripping a phone book in half was to bake it in the oven

Husband and I have a standing bet to be the first person to do 10 handstand pushups on a stage. Not sure why the stage is involved, and I can't remember what the prize is. Also it's been over 5 years since we made it, and neither of us can do a single one yet. But I think of it often.

tofubl ,

You should start training in secret immediately! Stages are easy enough to come by once you're ready.

I feel like you just became my sensei.

tofubl ,

I was thinking training montage, with Eye of the Tiger and everything.

In all seriousness, picture your dude's face! He will have forgotten all about that bet (he might have even now) and one regular sunny day you CASUALLY walk on over to that conveniently located stage; "hold that drink for me for a second, honey", and BAM. He won't know what's even happening, crying into both of your milk shakes in joy and confusion.

Plus, you'll be super buff. There's no downside, really.

Do 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats amd run for 10km every day. Warning, if you skip it youll be sent to the penalty realm.

I believe in you. Ten years ago, many people thought it would be a ridiculous goal to succeed in getting the world record for the most sites having signed up for, yet here I am. Now I'm working on some.

berryjam , in I want to be able to crush an apple with one hand

Very doable goal

I peel boiled eggs by crushing them in one hand lol

Krudler OP ,

Nice!

Start with achievable goals, and then work your way up to the next goal: pinching the skin off garlic gloves!

That's how I mash my potatoes.

I want to fold a frying pan. The idea came to mind when I got cocky when switching from curling 25 lbs to 45 lbs

Krudler OP ,

"This frying pan displeases me"

Pretty much. The local dollar store would definitely know something is up when I'm buying packs of them.

Krudler OP ,

You like literally have to buy 10 of them Just so you can roll one up after cooking for a friend and when they say what the fuck are you doing you say deadpan "what aren't these disposable?" as you open the oven drawer to reveal 10 new pans with labels.

athos77 , in I want to be able to crush an apple with one hand

There was a guy on some British panel show (maybe WILTY?) who can rip an apple in half. I keep meaning to try that but I keep forgetting.

@l_b_i@yiffit.net avatar

Bob Mortimer on WILTY, and I think he did it on Taskmaster too.

nezbyte ,

One of my favorite useless skills!

Krudler OP ,

Thank you bless you

Lmao

Some apples are softer than others.

When you do it please announce "how do you like Dem apples?"

Ridiculous goals, I don't think my brain has the capacity for ridiculous right now. Trying to get 3k yards/hour swimming, and hoping to get back to doing flip turns before the 4th of July.

Kethal , in I want to be able to crush an apple with one hand

I didn't know if this was possible so I looked for some videos.

This guy isn't very big, but does it fairly easily with his fingertips, and can crush it with a full grip but it takes him some effort.

Three big guys here with full grips do pretty poorly, then the big guy turns it to pulp in a second.

I think you've got your work cut out for you.

Krudler OP ,

Wow that was really thoughtful of you, now I feel a little bit sheepish saying that I can actually do this. I just wanted to spark discussion about silly things.

Delphia ,

Ive always wanted to make a reality tv show where you take regular people who have always wanted to do something but through whatever reasons never had the chance. Like someone who has never surfed and training them until they can do proper "big wave" surfing. Or someone who has never sat on a horse and training them to ride in a rodeo.

Krudler OP ,

I think that's such a clever idea, and it's kind-spirited.

I have always wanted to know how to box. Not because I want to hit somebody, but something about all of the footwork, core and the fundamentals that are strongly developed seems compelling to me.
