@hardwaregeek Weird, I don't see an "and cheese" in that, making it irrelephant to my point

For those who need pictures.
I can do the former and almost do the latter with my left hand. I used to be able to bend my thumb back fully when I was in high school, but I guess a couple of years of working with the keyboard made my joints stiffier.

@jaloopa okay then, I guess to make you happier I'll just have to start calling the American preparation of congealed macaroni with gelatinous nuclear orange sauce "mac cheese".

@polygeekery not unless you have very specific fetishes. It's a slang term for smegma

If you could, that would be great

greatgrateFTFY
I gouda do that, but I probably won't... I havarti gotten pretty accustomed to calling it mac & cheese. If you think that makes me a muenster, too bad...

@anotherusername fun fact, in the UK it's more commonly known as macaroni cheese. No and

@jaloopa Another fun fact: in Quebec we just call it "Kraft Dinner", even in french

@scholrlea Of course, here's a real meal

@timebandit Can't say I've tried poutine. I have tried something that was called poutine, but this was at a wannabee gastro-pub in Atlanta, so you can probably imagine what it was actually like.
Filed Under: They definitely weren't successful at the 'gastro' part in general.

-
@timebandit Ah, so poutine has become the gastro-pub equivalent of a forced meme, I take it. Good to know.

"gastro" in French is the common term for "stomach bug" (it's short for gastroenteritis).
Gastro-pubs have never really sounded very appealing to me.

Go to a few of them. Your prejudice will be confirmed.

Uh... I can pack stuff into a fridge. I have never yet found a fridge to be full, provided I have complete license to move stuff around within, even if it's been declared full by someone else. My parents always get me to put the Christmas grocery shop away.
I once had a summer job at a store whose owner could do that with the stuff in the âwarehouseâ (actually the back rooms of the house that had been converted into the shop a few decades earlier). He had me and someone else rearrange stuff on the shelves there to make room, and after a few hours we thought weâd done a good job. When we called him in, he began to rearrange much of the stuff again and ended up with much more shelf space than weâd thought possible. (That place was great. This happened in the early â90s and we found all kinds of nicknacks from the â70s on those shelves, still in original packaging with twenty-year-old prices on them.)

I did, many times. I much prefer the good ol' traditional pub with no fancy-glitzy cuisine, but solid pub food and good ale. Good ale more than anything, actually. Not 25 pumps of the latest craft-hipster beer, just 1 or 2 nice and clean ale.

My useless trick is that I can crack my ankles pretty much at will. Also many other joints, mainly my fingers, knees, elbows, and lower back, but my ankles seem to have the shortest recharge time.
-
@gurth Yeah, me too. Also my wrists.
-
I can also intentionally cause horrible cramps in my calves. Great for when you're bored. I'm working on being able to do the same thing with my arms.

@magus said in Stupid human tricks:
@polygeekery No, but I did expect that response. I can open doors and stuff really effectively without hands, mostly.
So in other words, if you were suddenly to be without hands, you'd be totally OK? ;)

I'm pretty good balancing on a wheelchair. That's practically halfway there!

Oh... I can give myself this at will:

So what are your stupid human tricks?
Mine is: Convincing humans that i am also a human.
It's a pretty good one, too!

@tsaukpaetra Not quite, but I think i'd do better than average.
-
@tsaukpaetra I once convinced most of my high school that I was stark raving mad. We're convinced that that was our biggest trick. After all, we're perfectly sane. All of us... Except him. But we don't let him out much, so we think we're safe.

Honestly, it's not that hard to get into an insane asylum. No, the trick is, getting out....
