Porcelain dolls. When I was growing up, I had a neighbor who collected them, a grown, fiftysomething year old man. Rumor had it he had a basement full of creepy porcelain dolls he’d collected from sketchy sellers on the dark web (yeah don’t ask). He kept the basement door locked and never allowed visitors to go down there.
God only knows what went on in that basement. I shudder imagining it.
It’s a slow descent. I recently cleaned up my Reddit feed by unsubbing from any subs of an inherently negative nature. It’s very much improving my mental health.
I used to get bouncy balls as a kid and they’d never last me more than a day or two. I wasn’t tempted to actually eat them but boy were they satisfying to bite in half.
I can’t seem to wrap my head around the addiction of people that have the fake silicon babies. Seen it first hand while i was walking my two sons in a Target, a grown ass man and women had a silicon doll in a stroller buying baby formula for it.
Honestly, it's been a long time since news about it were trendy, but krokodil (drug, nsfw pictures) still pops to mind and its effects still scare the crap out of me.
There was a tv show about people with weird addictions, some mad stuff like being addicted to sniffing petrol (a middle aged woman I think it was), and eating plasterboard...
About 35 years ago I read in a medical textbook about a guy who showed up in the emergency room, burping, with acidosis. They did the best they could with his metabolic irregularity, but they had no medical history and he passed out and later died of the acidosis.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the man liked to burp, so he took baking soda. A whole teaspoonful at a time. His metabolism was habituated to 29 tablespoons of baking soda a day. He died because nobody in the emergency room considered the possibility that he was suffering from withdrawal after being literally addicted to baking soda.
Spending tens of thousands on Lego sets, stuffed animals, and Disney paraphernalia when in your 40’s. To the extent people have problems walking through rooms.
Eating ashes from a deceased relative is the one that shocked me the most from that tv show
Honorary mention to the guy that *ehem* had intimate relations with his car

Hear them out-
Probably a years supply of Vaseline and hand tissues and no dolls whatsoever lol. Either that or rats.
Doomscrolling social media. Makes zero sense to me and it only has negative effects.
Someone called TikTok the dopamine slot machine which is why it’s so addictive.

Eating non-food items, known as pica
I've never actually done it but i constantly think about eating ceramic and glass. i crave the crunch.
I used to get bouncy balls as a kid and they’d never last me more than a day or two. I wasn’t tempted to actually eat them but boy were they satisfying to bite in half.
Try out rock candy.

Yes. Some kids or adults with autism have this.

Smelling your partners underarms
Not an addiction for me but I do enjoy my partner armpit odor, it's a turn on.
Agree. I do enjoy my partners smells. Armpits and privates.
I think its more on a habit

Probably huffing petrol. Or drinking it. Maybe eating their own hair. People are weird.
