You willingly turned on a notification every 30 minutes that tells you to compete against yourself? I cannot tell if this is parody or just Peak HN

I'd go with Peak HN.

Everyone has their quirks. I've got my computer speaking the time every 15 minutes and everyone I know would be driven absolutely insane by that. It helps me keep track of time.

Some people put a postit on their mirror or laptop screen.

This is a comic I love (titled: Weird): https://viruscomix.com/page500.html

I store a copy in my "life changing comics" folder.

Ooooo... a peanut butter banana bacon sandwich sounds awesome.

Highly recommend.

I've done a PBBJ (peanut butter bacon jelly) but never a PBBB. Might need to try it.

Mine is currently on a 15 minute loop as well, but it just plays prerecorded numbers from 15 to 0 telling me how many minutes left in my 15 minute time block

Yes, 30 minutes is a shockingly long time. I'd say 5 minutes makes a lot more sense.

Those are rookie numbers. You need to get that down to 5 seconds.

Amateur. I have a neon sign that strobes every millisecond in front of my office chair.

How embarassing for you.

I have a GPS disciplined rubidium clock with a 100MHz output hooked up directly to my sinuses. The slow sensation of waves washing ashore keeps me awake long enough to interact with the rest of you when I am taking my daily luxury 3ms break to read HN.
