I randomly point at my cat and tell her, "YOU!! I know what you've done!" and then I run at her. She immediately goes WILD and starts tearing around the apartment and doing little lion roars. If I stop pursuit too soon then she'll taunt me by jumping over me on the sofa over and over again until I continue chasing her. When I "catch" her then she gives me a sassy slap in the face and scampers off.

Hard water vs soft water.
So many times we've been in a hotel room and I've taken a shower and commented on what soft water it is because it feels like the soap never rinses off and I feel slippery all over. She always tries to correct me by calling it hard water. She grew up in a desert city that has naturally hard water, so she'll always say, "I know what hard water is, I grew up with hard water!" when the "hard" water she grew up with was softened by some means. It doesn't matter how many articles and blog posts and ChatGPT sessions on the topic I show her, she always insists they're wrong and she's right. We argued about it a few times in the past, but now it's a running joke between us.
Pineapple, banana and curry, optionally with peanuts. Now that's a real pizza!
Learn from my experience!
I was obsessed with the same thing for a time so I bought one of those blue ear bulb syringes to aid with earwax removal. I'd put earwax removal drops in my ears, wait a few minutes and then use the bulb syringe to rinse the drops out of my ears, before squeezing the remaining water out of the bulb syringe and setting it on my counter. I did this almost every day for weeks.
One day I noticed a bit of gray earwax coming out after squirting water from the bulb syringe into my ears, like a few small chunks of it. I was so excited, my persistence was finally paying off!! The next day I did it again and there were even more gray earwax chunks!! Holy shit, I must have knocked something loose! Third day it happened again and this time I was suspicious, so I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut open the bulb syringe to find that it was full of mold. I'd been squirting chunks of mold into my ears and when they fell into the sink I thought they were earwax.
Now I use a translucent bulb syringe that's split in the middle, so I can take it apart to dry properly and I'll see if anything is growing inside of it.
If you haven't tried then I recommend hydrogen peroxide in your ears. I dilute it 1:1 with water, but some people use it straight from the bottle. It feels SO GOOD and helps with earwax removal.
