The really dangerous thing is when something feels rewarding in the short term, but wrecks your life in the long term.

Ethanol, the main active ingredient in booze.

Why can’t broccoli feel more rewarding

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Cover it in olive oil and salt. bake at 400 for 20 minutes, and trick your brain into thinking its amazing

My brain is so gullible sometimes, i also tricked it into a biking hobby by going fast.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Love it

Biking can be like a two calorie burn or do it fast (or up hills) and suddenly it’s somethin’ serious. But still pleasant, possibly beautiful…

So the sense of speed is the fun part?

I kinda tricked myself into liking running by making a game of how long I could put up with the discomfort and feeling out of breath. Now I no longer feel out of breath, and it sometimes feels actually... good?? I don't know if I just became inured to the sensation, or if I'm just fitter.

How about a little sesame oil and soy sauce?

Daamn why weren't you my roomate in college - I got the Dominos-pizza-every-night kind of roomates

Is it a trick if it's really amazing?

[-] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Our sauteed with onions really good too. People who don't like greens probably only know them boiled in water which washes the taste away.

For any non-yanks reading: 400 degrees Fahrenheit is about 200 degrees Celsius, and this method is roasting, not baking.

Fuck that. Throw some Velvetta on it and call it in.

[-] ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Are you kidding? I can always want to eat more broccoli than is advisable. I have to like hold myself back.

For real though, you can "acquire" these tastes.

Damn. Something I think we all know deep down but never put into words. This is a statement everyone should be reminded of daily.
