The Tyranny of Too Many Choices: Why My Brain Hates the Cereal Aisle
Ever felt overwhelmed by too many choices? Discover the paradox of choice, why your brain hates the cereal aisle, and how embracing limitations can actually lead to more happiness.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever stood in the cereal aisle, paralyzed by indecision, as your eyes darted between Froot Loops, Lucky Charms, and that granola stuff your mom used to buy. (Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.) Well, my friend, you’ve experienced the paradox of choice firsthand. It’s the modern-day affliction where more options somehow equal more misery. It’s like this: your brain…

buck, in his biggest softest most muted-tone hoodie with days of scruff while baking sweet comfort treats: of COURSE i'm depressed!!! the love of my life just dumped me i'm a MESS!!! SOMEBODY TELL ME THEY LOVE ME!! :'( :'( :'( :'(
tommy, seemingly unaffected: i am not now nor have i ever been not fine. i do not even know what that is. i have been knot fine, sure. i have been fined, true. anyway, unrelated but i may be going into cardiac arrest...
#i just think their ways of coping w. heartache are polar opposites: buck wears his emotions on his sleeves mopes and wallows in#plain sight while tommy compartmentalises in order to survive never really addressing the depth of his heartache - until one day#he's in the cereal aisle of a ralphs and picks up evan's favorite by mistake and starts having a panic attack in aisle 4.#bucktommy#evantommy#crack#tevan kinkley firepilot#.txt#fic fodder

kyle doesn’t talk to his mom for a week when he’s like 14 because one time while at target he sees a cute boy who looks like stan if stan had slightly uneven eyes (which makes him more approachable in kyle’s mind) so kyle starts walking slowly through the cd section and pausing every time he comes across a cool indie album so he can come across as mysterious and cultured and it almost works until his mom yells from across the aisle: “BUBBIE, DO YOU NEED MORE LIDOCAINE CREAM???? I KNOW YOUR HEMORRHOIDS ARE ACTING UP!” kyle pretends not to know who she is but then the other boy leans over and goes “hey um. i think she’s talking to you?”

[TUVOKTOBER: Day 13] Do you have slor-tukh-sa money, Elieth?
#grocery shopping with the family <3#Vulcan telepathy is fun bc you can add a little stir-the-pot comment into a conversation from several aisles away#slor-tukh-sa is a branded sugary fruit cereal I made up. Very popular with children across several federation planets!#As a kid there's nothing you want less than a food that's advertised as being GOOD for you by your parent#also in the end they don't get the sugary cereal but they do all get a coin so they can watch a gum dispenser dispense a single piece of gu#in a flashy and interesting way (they have to beg Tuvok for this as well but he's tired after a long day of saying no#and distracted by the cashier and honestly having them leave him alone for a few minutes while he completes this transaction is worth it)#<- Sek keeps his coin and instead helps his father with the groceries though....show off#[REDACTED] family shenanigans#Tuvok#st voyager#bea art tag#tuvoktober

Every time I show my neck x rays to a doctor they ask me if ive ever been in a car accident which is not a great thing to be asked by a doctor when you ve never been in a car accident.

I'd believe Belisarius was a shrimp if he looked tastier. his flesh seems exceedingly thin and poisonous. zero nutritional value and probably tastes like sour candy dunked in battery acid from the chemicals he uses to keep it from rotting away
#his flesh contains more preservatives than the fucking neon cereal placed at kid-height in the dry foods aisle#belisarius cawl#40k#wh40k#funny#warhammer 40k

Something wild happened today yall... So I was asked to work grocery which I expected, it's Monday, no ones here. But when I was almost halfway done... my manager stopped to check if I was doing alright 😲😱
What if I said no sggdgdgd would he stop to help or would he make NetflixCoworker help me (which she was SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. I did 4 aisles (like 8 pallets) and she did ONE. 4 pallets but still)
And I got the Splenda pallet looking SO perfect agdgdgdg I wanted to take a picture so bad but I thought that'd be too weird sgdgdgdggd but trust me it was so perfect (don't look at the back)
#marquilla#the bar is so low for managers it's almost too insane to laugh at. he's now cool in my book shdgdgdgd bc literally only#family friend manager would do that. none of the other managers that have come and gone have til now#idk it was just a minor nice thing that happened sgdgdgdg like wow being treated with decency by a manager?!? breaking news!#i do NOT feel bad ab dumping NetflixCoworker's pallets down her aisle without saying anything while she wandered around lmao#fucking help me bitch. even newlady was more enjoyable to work grocery with bc we had a system!! i did baby -> coffee and sometimes sugar#and she did oatmeal syrups and cereal#baby-> coffee means the aisles sgdgdggdgd it's like ziploc cooking -> baby -> baby -> baby again -> coffee -> coffee-> coffee -> syrup/#honey/peanut butter/jelly -> cereal -> cereal -> oatmeal#and sugar is endcaps#ANYWAY surprisingly good day at work and i found where they store the brooms now :) i found the nice ones and i had my#own again :) yay#work talk

okay so i've had all day to think about it and actually i think the epilogue party kinda sucked and i sorta wish i hadn't actually played it
#it felt like catching up with a former colleague you bumped into in the cereal aisle at tesco on a saturday morning#where you weren't exactly friends but they were nice so you're socially obliged to do the whole hiiii omg how are you thing#but its kind of busy and you're blocking the aisle and both of you know you're being politely insincere so you're like#ANYWAY i'll not keep you! it was lovely seeing you!!!!!! bye!!!!!!!!!#like......i unno. i'd rather wait like a year+ for a proper citadel style dlc thing or not get anything at all rather than. u know.#idk! it felt like only halsin/sh and maybe gale had anything to say. everyone else got like 2-3 lines then shooed me away#the letter from haarlep was hot tho...hmm...#hmm. 4/10 i appreciate they tried

taking henry to a walgreens rn and forgetting him in the cereal isle
— flea
he would be scarily fascinated, and i mean that. he's the type of person to think only the plain ass frosted flakes exist and that's it. the possibility of any other cereal kind would blow his convoluted, troubled mind. it'd be a second moon landing. just wait until he finds out lucky charms have marshmallows in them and it's not all just crunchy. he would need a few days to process that information alone
#henry winter#the secret history#losing him in an aisle is so real#he wouldn't move a single INCH#fasciated by the walls of cereal#he'd think only the original kelloggs cornlakes existed#him and that green cock against the world
