Junk food, cigarettes, weed, and sucking dick.

I think I just like things in my mouth.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 54 minutes ago

Laziness. Or, as Sir Humphrey Appleby put it, 'Masterful Inactivity'.

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

Solitude, sleep and food. Probably the three things I'm best at too, thinking about it.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Weed and food. The former isn't a problem, the latter can be.

When I'm stressed I have to consciously be very aware of my eating. During lockdown I was spending a hundreds per month on just food.
Within two years after lockdown ending, I managed to lose 36KG. I try my best to keep a good weight, and I'm within acceptable ranges as per the BMI, however every once in a while I would have a bad day and eat an entire extra large pizza to myself for lunch.

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I have a large bench vice, a precision milling vice on my milling machine and a couple of little vices for cocaine.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago
[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Crisps, alcohol, vaping …not in that order.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Chocolate chip cookie with milk and MMORPGs. I've made my cookie portions smaller (two cookies at a time and leave the bag in the kitchen when I eat them at my desk/couch.I also quit any and all MMO/gacha games.

[–] fiendishplan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Bourbon - but I only partake on Friday and Saturday nights.

[–] sntx@lemm.ee 5 points 18 hours ago

Procrastination

[–] spykee@lemm.ee 4 points 17 hours ago

Porncrastination.
Yes, it IS word. I've been doing this activity for years. Do not doubt my experience in the field.

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 8 points 21 hours ago

Solitude, it’s addictive being alone

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Alcohol, but I'm 53 days sober

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

Yep! They were a godsend in the first two weeks. I've also been going to AA meetings in VR.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Well done! Keep going.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 5 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day 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...

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Shaggy1050@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I will pretty frequently just eat straight peanut butter with a spoon, but peanut butter cookies are also great. Peanut Butter an Co. has a cinnamon sugar peanut butter that is obscenely good. I found out about it because Babish did a peanut butter tier list video and the cinnamon sugar peanut butter was the highest rank.

[–] Shaggy1050@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Thank you. I took half the time just go straight spoonful of peanut butters. I'm going to check out that cinnamon sugar peanut butter!

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

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Is Diet Pepsi a vice

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 23 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

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

...escorts, really?

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

[–] MrHamza@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago

Local modelling agencies / escorting agencies. I’m a regular, they’re the ones reaching out to me to advertise new developments.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day 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 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or maybe they're just really into old Fords

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Pizza and social media. And pizza.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Weed and radicalizing the people around me

Sugar/ultra processed foods especially soda

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 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"

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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] spykee@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 56 minutes ago

Sometimes, another person is involved.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Mild case of gluttony and sloth.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, strangling animals, golf and masturbating.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 55 minutes ago

You're gonna lose points there. Golf's not very popular around here.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

UM... I SHOOT BIRDS AT THE AIRPORT

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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

others I wont mention

Others I can imagine. *squints suspiciously*

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day 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.
