    This is your unsolicited advice for the day.

    A problem for me is that I find the first ~65% of these topics mind numbingly boring and I'm almost physically unable to follow up in any interesting ways.

    That's why I came up with the raisin question :)

    The other day I was asked "What's another unusual thing you do?" which I liked, I just need to find a good first half to it for the occasions where there isn't an obvious first unusual thing.

    (With me it was easy, since I'm barefoot and the person just stated that but then asked for another unusual thing.)

    My confusion gets stronger and stronger...

    For me, using AnySoftKeyboard I can just cycle through my languages & their respective layouts with one touch to a key.

    So if I was a tad bit more attentive I wouldn't pollute my dictionaries with words from different languages at all.

    Oh, well, I realise I sound like an AnySoftKeyboard-vendor, so I'll try to stop here :)

    This is great! Got me thinking about my own autobiography that is waiting for me in a metaphoric drawer...

    Right this instant I think it would start with my mothers death, end with my own imagined funeral (I'm obsessed with an idea about making flowers of tiny glass pearls for decorating my own tombstone and how that can become a nice ritual around death) and contain most of my life up until now with a heavy focus on fatherhood.

    The structure of it (which is already fleshed out quite well) is going to be like a "find your own adventure" book, made to jump around in.

    I'm glad you found something that works for you. The ergonomics of typing is no small thing.

    it doesn't support multi-language typing, you need to switch languages completely

    I don't understand this, but then again I only type in latin-ish-alphabets where all different layouts have all symbols (although some are behind long presses). My dictonaries and autocorrect get messed up quite rapidly though, since I mix languages and use my own words & abbreviations.

    Fair! I just installed FUTO and then I learned it is not FOSS, just "source available", so back to AnySoftKeyboard it is! @Minithra & @all_summer_beauty

    I don't like muesli, but I can't eat just unhealthy foods all day.

    The only real pain, besides timing ones (that will most likely disappear when I'm used to the keyboard) is the little mic-icon taking up cognitive space (maybe I'll stop seeing it, but it has not happened yet with the large Android16 statusbar icons, so who knows!)

    This is the most fascinating thing I've heard all year! Tell me everything!!!!! How? Like how do you eat them? Like cookies from the cookie jar? Like pickled onions on a burger?

    I like pickled raisins.

    Well, but I'd rather talk to their kids about them as I prefer asking people about their parents if I can't come up with anything besides family.

    If people have kids, ask them about their kids. Most people will talk about their kids for as long as you need them to.

    What do you like more in your muesli? (Btw... anyone has a good recommendation for a FOSS keyboard for android phones? I miss being able to type all the letters)?

    Inspired by the really serious topic what's your line I wonder what "lines" you have for small talk, ice breakers or to just pass some time.

    My favourite "line" is:

    What do you think about raisins?

    or (replying to things like "what do you do for a living?"):

    Eh, that's not really interesting, but what do you think about raisins?

    I like it because it's quite dumb, but lots of people of all ages have some experience with and opinion about raisins so it is easy to talk about.

    And with some luck you get plunged into a heated debate about raisins as candy substitute, raisins in bread or even hot raisins in food!

    Hello, so I went along to an exhibition about flowers in art. There where many surprisingly interesting things.

    One piece was a large photograph of a person with embroidery of flowers as a kind of tattoos. Thought of you and these pieces.

    The artists, Maja Stjärna, own images and description of this piece of art (and series).

    How are you doing with your works of art?

    After reading the other comments I realise I have a water-flosser that I used to clean out the extraction point... Didn't think of that aspect when I wrote my comment above.

    Well...

    I ate normally after having a molar removed a little while back.

    Thing was, I was a little worried too, but since there is air above the extraction point I found it quite hard to actually chew food into it so it hurt.

    For the first few days I had to be conscious about the teeth next to the gap touching the teeth in the opposite jaw (upper/lower) which felt weird, but didn't really hurt.

    My advice would be, be a tad attentive to how you chew and you will be fine.

    If you really want to be sure, any non crunchy or very chewy food should be fine. Including any pasta/rice/quinoa/tuber+sauce, loaded fries (but possibly not extra crispy fries), sandwiches without chewy meats, omelettes, salads, etc.

    Disclaimer: I don't really do well when I eat things I'm not in the mood for, so adapting my meals just to avoid a little discomfort or even a little pain is not for me!

    If you want I can probably come up with drinky-food ideas if you still want to. I feel I should after completely disregarding your request (although I think I answered your real question, as I interpreted it!)
