Could be as trivial as a type of food, a TV show, or something more serious.

Whiskey. I can be pretentious about good beer, bread, chocolate or coffee, but I’ve just never tasted a difference between whiskeys. Granted I haven’t made too serious an attempt but it Hardly seems worth it. How can I finish becoming a snob if I don’t like good whiskey?

Star Wars. I'm literally the only Gen Xer I know who didn't grow up a huge fan of the first three movies and didn't care for all the toys associated with them. That continued into adulthood--I never got the hype for the newer movies or the modern series.

Money. When it comes to motivation when job searching, it's probably one of the last things in my priority list. Not really motivated by it, it's just that I value ease of travel, environment, hours, stress amount (or lack there of) way more, and I probably could achieve more and grow more as a person if I was after positions that offered more money. As things are right now, however, I'm completely fine just taking it easy.

Vegetables. And fruit. They're obviously very healthy - essential even. I have them in almost every meal, but I hate the taste of all of them. Apart from potatoes I suppose, but all the others.

I don’t know if this is of any help, but herbs when cooking things like broccoli in the microwave works wonders. Also: if you pan fry zucchini or paprika, use butter or olive oil, or even roasted sesame oil, and give it some nice dark spots.

Tropical fruits like mangos, pineapples, and coconut (not a fruit i know). They look and smell good and other people really like them but I can't stand the taste

Engineering. Programming. Any kind of field with good jobs or stability.

I don't know how to articulate it properly, but I can't care about anything that is human-focused. I tried engineering and it made me extremely uncomfortable; like my soul broke apart and got put back together in the wrong way. Doomed to be a poor af zoologist/plant biologist :(

As a failed (not really, but academically) engineer who is only comfortable around non-humans I find this very relatable. But is it more the human contact or the human contact with engineers in specific or the technology that gives you soul damage?

I actually love tech, but I also think a lot of modern tech is overkill and shouldn't exist, and I can't get excited about modern gadgetry anymore.

Exercise in all forms

Its boring and tedious.

Strength training?

Life up that heavy thing. Great. Now put it back. Repeat 9 times.

Its nice for people who enjoy it. I find it to be .. literally the most pointless thing you can spend your time doing.

Mayonnaise. It's on or in a lot of stuff. I just can't stand it.

I wish I liked eating a ton of raw veggies.

Peanut butter. Somehow, I like peanuts well enough, but I can’t stand peanut butter. It’s literally the only food I avoid, and the only food I had a rough reaction to while pregnant. I’d like to at least not hate it, but I have such a gut reaction to eating it, I don’t see a future I would ever get over it.

Math and by extension programming. It makes sense. Then I fill in the numbers, it enters my brain and then just goes to a garbled mess. I get lost in a for loop. WTF...

One of my best friends has a strong Japanese accent, the other has a strong lisp, and I'm still not used to either one, and I feel guilty for it.

Tomatoes. They help with cancer prevention but I just can’t fucking stand them

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Regular tomatoes are trash. They’ve been bred to look nice at the expensive of flavor.

Heirloom tomatoes, especially if found fresh and local completely change the experience. The more messed up the type of tomato looks, the better it tastes. You want a purple or yellow melon tumor looking monstrousity, not a nice perfectly shaped red tomato.

Some people can't handle popcorn ceiling. That's just hard cottage cheese.

I can't handle the kind of "3d Holographic" that was all the rage in the late 90s early 00s.

Did you get a "holo" from your Harry potter brand chocolate frogs?

Then run an index fingernail over that affront to decent human sensibilities and feel what I say.

If I could not respond that way to that stimulus, my life would be improved.
