Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

    Everything about me is a weird flex

    • I invented two novel fire eating tricks, one of which involves my split tongue
    • I can scratch the back of my skull through my nose with an icepick. I can also put a running power drill in my nose or feed a silicone tube through and out the mouth
    • I often shave with a torch or lighter

      That… raises some questions 😅

      Can I assume that you’re some kind of performer or is this stuff you’re just doing as a hobby or when bored?

      Did you mean „inside of your skull“ or actually the back of your skull? Cause if it’s the latter, I thought there would be some… err… critical components in the way of the icepick?

      Was there any reason you tried these things or dis you just go „hmm, how about…?“

      Also - this is the most pressing one - is there a video of you with your powerdrill?

      I didn’t realize there were fire eating tricks (other than a touch transfer or dragon’s breath), but I only dabbled in it ~20 years ago-- my main focus was with fire staff. What’s the trick that doesn’t involve your tongue?

        Vapor tricks have come a very long way over the last 20 years. Look up Joseph Kerr if you wanna see insane shit. I’ve met him before, he’s super friendly.

        Fire staff was my first prop :P

          I don’t have insta and your account is age restricted so I can’t see it. The Joseph Kerr stuff looks cool though. Also saw some other vids of maintaining fire in the mouth for long durations-- cool stuff.

          Wish there was a community near me so I could get back into fire stuff.
