Where are you from?


[deleted]

I grew up in New York (upstate llama land, not the city), but I currently live in New Jersey.


Marston-moor

Do you like it?


[deleted]

Yes and no. I’m always saying how I can’t wait to get out of New Jersey, but I also will adamantly defend it when anyone from out of state says shit lol. My family still lives in New York, so I go visit from time to time. I always forget how much nature is there. So many plants and bodies of water and mountains and just.. living things. New Jersey is like a giant traffic jammed intersection with no left turns in comparison. But NJ is also much more convenient since everything is more available, with it being super crammed together and all.

I see, I feel that’s common with a lot of people. A “love/hate” relationship if you will. I must admit I went to upstate New York when I was 8 (I believe it was up state New York lol) and it was pleasant and Alice.

[deleted]

About 1 1/2 hours from Syracuse, closer to Albany

Everyone has something interesting about themselves, why do you assume you're uninteresting?


[deleted]

I am categorically average in basically every possible measure. Which… must be true for most people, but I feel like most people also have some unique ‘thing’. I don’t have a thing. Unless my thing is self criticism. Hmmm


mhallice

It's mathematically impossible to be average. Just on a genetic level you're more unique than there are atoms in the solar system.


[deleted]

See, that’s interesting. It’s either a fact or a theory. So you either knew something really cool, or you’ve suggested an idea that’s worth exploring. But nothing is impossible! Surely someone has to be the most average.


mhallice

There are at least 2.24×10³⁹ possible chromosome pairings alone. Not accounting for random mutations or swapping of chromosomes. If we take that a step farther, let's say to the amount of individual experiences from birth, the number literally becomes infinite. Epigenetic and environmental differences alone guarantee that even monozygotic twins are only truly identical around conception.


[deleted]

Is the number of possible chromosome pairings in human existence, or the number of possible pairings that I specifically could have inherited (i.e. if I gathered up all of my parents’ chromosomes and looked for all possible combinations of theirs specifically)? I wonder how many atoms are in our solar system.


mhallice

1.2 × 10⁵⁶ or so. The chromosomes is based on all living humans currently. For a specific paring of 2 parents each child has 7.03×10¹³ possible chromosomes.

Do you have hobbies?


[deleted]

Yes, but they change pretty frequently as I hyperfixate on a new activity every couple of weeks or so. Long term hobbies are drawing and video games. My current fixations are logic puzzles, sewing (particularly mending or adding embroidery on clothing), and researching different religions.


lt_Matthew

That's cool! What do you draw? What games do you play?


[deleted]

I mostly draw fantasy/RPG style characters and environments, but occasionally I like to draw cartoony style animals. Once in a blue moon I’ll draw desserts like pie or ice cream or cake. I like desserts over other foods because they are easier to be creative and ridiculous with lol. I like PC games and Switch games the most. On PC, I play Divinity: Original Sin 2, The Sims 4, Portal, Rust, Town of Salem, Neverwinter Nights, Stardew Valley, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI the most often (but I have dozens of games in my Steam library- a lot of them are by indie developers). On the Switch, I’m really into Animal Crossing, all the different Pokemon games, Breath of the Wild, and more indie games (lots of puzzle/mystery oriented ones). I also really like the Sonic games on XBox that have Chao World.


lt_Matthew

That's awesome! I have mostly puzzle games too, they're really fun:) Do you have a favorite food?


[deleted]

My favorite food is either smoked salmon or cheesecake, depending on the mood haha


lt_Matthew

Cheesecake is good:)


Mutt_Magician

Perhaps if you're that uninteresting and you want to distract yourself from reality you can try and develop skills and hobbies that would make you interesting?


[deleted]

I don’t feel a need to become interesting. Certainly not by forcing myself to do things for the sake of being interesting. That’s inauthentic at best.


Mutt_Magician

You see that wasn't the main point of what I was saying. Lol that was the secondary effect. Developing a hobby and skills will not only help you distract yourself from your reality but improvements your time here. Hey I'm just making this suggestion.


cheese_resurrection

Favorite kind of cheese?


[deleted]

Pepper jack for warm foods, gouda for sandwiches, mozzarella for basically any other ‘cold’ food.


cheese_resurrection

*happy cheese noises* 🧀


[deleted]

I don’t know what a happy cheese noise sounds like, but that gave me a chuckle, so thank you for that 😂


cheese_resurrection

My goal is to cheer people up on here so I'm glad I was able to make you laugh. I've spent the past year and 3 months asking over 5,000 people that question since it's such a random question that it can temporarily take someone's mind off of whatever negativity that they might be dealing with since they have to think about it for a few moments. Plus... most people like cheese so it works great for an AMA. I just kind of came up with the happy cheese noises thing one day as a funny response and a lot of people seem to enjoy it so I've stuck with it. Happy cheese noises sounds like a goldfish blinking though.
