Top 3 things people love insisting they don't have despite it being impossible

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

one time i was trying to explain transmisogyny to a TME friend and one of the things I said is that "when young girls are gender nonconforming as children, they are called a tomboy and given until sexual maturity to shape up, but when young boys are gender nonconforming, they are called faggots and immediately and often brutally corrected by their peers." His takeaway from that was the response "don't call me a tomboy."

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM
