Maybe it’s a show, a game, food, a song, or even a book, but what’s that thing you love even though you know it’s objectively bad?

Okay I had to actually switch accounts before replying, ha ha. My absolute favorite guilty pleasure is reading and writing m/m paranormal smut. Absolutely love it. I hoover that shit up.
Family knows I write urban fantasy, so when I started writing m/m smut, I had to get a pen name. They think I stopped writing after two books-- but that’s not accurate since I have three books under the pen name. The middle book is so smutty that I would be horrified for anyone to connect me to it but it is a damn fine piece of writing. Damn fine. So full of absolutely animalistic descriptive sex, it’s frankly amazing I managed to fit a plot in there somewhere.
So, writing and reading smutty books. 😚
Sitting quietly in a room for hours at a time literally doing nothing. I once got curious and just sat in my living room for around 10h straight because I wanted to see what my living room and neighborhood was like at night. Im talking no phone, TV, or anything else just me sitting alone staring off chilling.
Fun fact: I average 3 cars an hour over night in my neighborhood and we aren’t really a busy neighborhood off a couple side streets too. Some of the cars leave then come back a few minutes later. Probably drug dealers or something.
This sounds like the dream day of almost every older guy (like 50+) I know.
Pure. Peace. And. Quiet.
You should try a float tank!
No reason for guilt there, that sounds like pure relaxation.
I am 100% too old for it, but I absolutely LOVE the preschool level cartoon Franklin and to a slightly lesser extent the 2011( ? ) 3D CG reboot Franklin and Friends. I used to have one of the edutainment games ( the clubhouse one ) and the domino set as a kid and loved them.
Now, at some point if I ever live alone or at least not with family, want to get all of the PC edutainment games, the domino set, and the original books that weren’t based off of an episode of the show. I will someday manifest my inner child’s dream!
Edit:
And if there ever comes a time where there is an official box set of every episode out there in the original English dub, I would trample kids at the store to get it.
What things do you love about it?
For starters, as a furry, the anthro characters, love their simple designs. I also love how wholesome it is the majority of the time. Also how chill the show is, especially the backgrounds.
I also like, to varying degrees, most of the songs from the films and official CD ( which I own a copy of ). I personally love the song in the beginning of Back To School With Franklin because I think more people should live life by the lyric “sometimes doing nothing can be such a busy thing”.
Crappy romance movies. Like the crappy Christmas ones on hallmark or Netflix
I had none.
If it brings me pleasure I feel no guilt.
Typing random numbers into nhentai to see what absolutely depraved shit is out there.
Makes a great drinking game in the right group of people.
I’m weird. Playing nsfw games while trying to avoid nsfw. Some of them have cool stories and not shying away from mature themes make them much more enjoyable. And some are simply way too expansive sims, I swear that horny is the second biggest motivator for building life sims after dwarfs.
My incognito Bing history would fit the bill.
Can’t say guilt is in any way associated with it but soda is my smokes. Have quit a few times and all it takes is some stress and im back.
I’m 49 years old and every once in a while I still say “Fuck it…for supper tonight I’m having a giant ass bowl of Lucky Charms cereal”
There is nothing objectively bad about this! Now eating cereal without milk, that’s weird (and what I’m doing right now.
43 and it’s Cap’n Crunch for me. It happens once every few years and I always regret it.
Me too. That eventual sugar crash gets worse the older I get,
Maybe not objectively bad, but mine is '60s music. Even the super sugary pop crap (well, minus bubblegum). Even though a lot of the lyrics haven’t aged well. I just love it. SiriusXM’s '60s Gold stays on my radio dial!
Also, I love being in the sun. I’m super pale and I’ve had to have a bunch of things removed and biopsied by the dermatologist, so now I load up on sunblock and avoid the sun like a vampire, which makes me sad. I know it’s bad for me but I really do love the sun 💛
Ghost Adventures. I watch an episode before bed like 3 times a week. I used to work in tv production and know it’s not real. But in my experience, more than the other ghost shows, it weaves in some cute tricks along with obvious ones. Something about that mix keeps me just the right amount of entertained but relaxed in a way that helps me fall asleep.
Yoooo, this show is a fucking riot, I love it for the cheese factor
I know right! I have no when or why I watched it for the first time, but I’m with it tbh
Kanye is a terrible person and the lyrics are typical drivel… but god damn do I love the Daft Punk remix in “Stronger”. It distills the pure glitchtard joy of what daft punk did.
I feel you. Gold Digger is my jam.
I’m a basic bitch: sugar, salt and fat.
Um. I mean, I get what you mean. But two of those are essential nutrients.
In moderation, they are… A brownie is not really essential 😄
Alcohol, but I’ve cut back immensely in the past 4 years. Turns out you can’t drink like you did in your 20s when you’re in your 40s and expect to feel fine the next morning. I think I’m almost at the point where I’m gonna give it up entirely, or just have it on special occasions, because it’s just not worth it anymore.
I was in the exact same boat 2 years ago. I don’t know what happened exactly, but I just decided it was time to stop. At the time it was to see how it went, and how long I could go without it. And I honestly never looked back. I feel tons better, and I’m sure I’m overall much healthier as well. And I don’t miss it or crave it anymore, except very occasionally when work gets to the “You have got be shitting me right now” level, and even then it’s not a strong craving and I just ignore it until it goes away. And the $avings!
I’m in my 40s and could use a motivator to slow down a bit… Maybe I just hydrate enough to feel fine the next day lol
Easiest way to do it is just not buy it, that’s how I’ve been approaching it. Or if I do, I’ll only buy on a Friday enough to last a weekend (1 bottle of wine or a 4-6pk of cider/beer/vodka seltzer for me), and that’s it.
Easier done when you have the feeling shitty motivation the next day.
