Procrastination

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

Solitude, it’s addictive being alone

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm an asshole. Oh, I drink too much Lipton™ Peach Ice Tea.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Is Diet Pepsi a vice

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Pot at the moment. It used to be soluble coffee but I got bored of it even after changing brands and everything. I guess I need one of those fancy coffee machines to "chase" the vice, but then I'll have another vice of brewing the perfect cup and I can't afford all that. lol

Haha I read escorts as e-scorts as you would read e-sports

Answer: hobbies, food, and stuff I find I want. I've been getting in to knives, a cool watch, some kites, and other random stuff.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Peanut butter, nice bread, and hoarding shiny little trinkets.

[–] Shaggy1050@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

As a fellow peanut butter aficionado, what are your favorite peanut butter dishes/snacks?

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Chocolate, alcohol, video games, and expounding too much about my interests to anyone standing in front of me.

Also, explaining things on the internet...

[–] Flying_Dutch_Rudder@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Sex, drugs and alcohol. I wish the last one was rock n’ roll but sadly it’s not.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Alcohol, but I'm 53 days sober

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 10 hours ago

We're supporting you !

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Well done! Keep going.

[–] NeedyPlatter@lemmy.ca 5 points 12 hours ago

Sugar/ultra processed foods especially soda

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

...escorts, really?

Where would you go about locating one? For science, naturally.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

You act like we don't have little pocket communicators that can summon anything we want if we pay enough for it.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Or maybe they're just really into old Fords

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Pizza and social media. And pizza.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Damn op started the thread out with a bang. Soda, and sloth would be mine.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

An immersive book. A good, immersive videogame. An immersive, well crafted series with deep lore.

If I come across any of these you won't see me for WEEKS. Forget being social or any of my obligations, my life is now this fictional universe I found.

[–] ArchEngel@lemmy.ca 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, I just dove into the Bionicle universe again...

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I never left! I'm actually attached to a very ambitious Bionicle project as an environment modeller. I also got my own 3D project in the works.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Diet coke & cocktails, and potato chips (crisps and fries both) though I am moderate with all.

Sloth, I guess - I'm physically active, but so lazy in some ways, wake up when I wake up, want people to come to my house, I don't want to go to theirs, want to live close to everything so I don't have to travel, don't work as hard as I could at work, don't try to move up.

Sex. Every day at least once.

Reading is my escape, but I don't think it's a vice.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

Processed meat

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Weed and radicalizing the people around me

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 2 points 20 hours ago

Are you me?

[–] Thebular@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Weed, junk food, and self-loathing mostly

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Alcohol and carbs

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

Mild case of gluttony and sloth.

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what aren't? i pick up vices like a swiffer picks up lint.

some people have "addictive personalities", but mine is off the charts. problem is, it only pertains to the self-destructive ones.

cheesy, i know, but i love this quote from dave matthews: "a rolling stone gathers no moss but leaves a trail of busted stuff"

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

nope. i'm an insomniac, so stimulants aren't really my thing. plus, i grew up in the 90s us south and can't ever forget jeff foxworthy saying "i'll never do a drug named after a part of my own ass"

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Well, strangling animals, golf and masturbating.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

UM... I SHOOT BIRDS AT THE AIRPORT

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

sugar and caffeine, caffeine and sleeping, machines and screens, others I wont mention

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

others I wont mention

Others I can imagine. *squints suspiciously*

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Same. Only way I've managed to curb my cravings of sugar lately is that I got lab work done and I'm on the verge of becoming diabetic. Turns out fear is my only motivator.

[–] TomAwsm@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Chocolate. Just loads and loads of chocolate.

If I wasn't as active as I am, I'd be a fat bastard.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Because of a disability, I can't drink or do recreational drugs. So soda. Soda is my vice and it's so not good for me

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I'm pretty sure you can still do drugs, you must just live your life enough to not

[–] xylogx@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Hatred, fear and loathing.

I hate you. I hate you all.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Coffee and gaming

Alcohol and fried food.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Media. Comic books, books, movies, and video games, in that order.
