EVERYTHING!!!
Well, most things, but anything that was once alive or considered meat*!!
*And Hot dogs.
I'm allergic to sodium nitrate so I don't eat hot dogs.
But ketchup on fries and a burger, absolutely!

You could have saved a whole lot of space by just writing "I'm a hipster", you know.
Lol! I don't like hipsters, oh well should have seen that on coming. Just don't consider myself a follower, I like something or I don't. I think I am more just curmudgeonly, defenatly not hip by any means.

I had a tri class character once, rogue/monk/sorc. She was awesome, but the core rules were so punishing it was crazy.
I build characters from the concept then select classes and abilities that best fit. Most often it feels like shoving a square peg into a round hole and gives characters the triclass mentioned above.

The rise of social media has been generally detrimental to the human race. Too many people feel the need to overshare every boring, banal facet of their lives. To the point that they actually believe people care about the hummus and avocado salad they had for lunch.
Social media didn't cause this. People were already like that, they just shared it with whoever would listen. The only thing social media has done has given them a wider audience.

And people do care about such things. Not Simon apparently. And not me. But enough to keep people following those that overshare.
Social media has also had much better, more significant effects - live reporting from locals in disaster areas, for example.

I once heard a way to judge someone's intelligence based on what they think and talk about the most:
The dumber folk in society primarily think and talk about other people and what those people do (like Us Magazine).
The moderately average folk primarily think and talk about things - tech, cars, games, etc...
The more intelligent folk primarily think and talk about ideas - product design, scientific research, social improvement, etc...
Now, it ain't 100% universal and can't be applied to every case, but it certainly helps describe the majority of Facebook users.

I've heard a version of that attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt:
Great people talk about ideas
Average people talk about events
Small people talk about people.

I find the condition "PRONE" to be the most annoying possible circumstance to be in as a character. If you are helpless you have no control. Make your save and then carry on. If you are rendered Unconscious, Whelp nothing for you to do but wait. If you are dead, well then you just make a new character and troop on. Only in prone is everything that follows based directly on your actions. Stand up: get hit, crawl away: get hit, sit there doing nothing: get hit on their next turn and have everyone b~%$& at you about not helping them at all.

I'm not a fan of tomato based BBQ sauce. I prefer a mustard base, Kansas style. And if I can, I make my own. Then use it to marinade ribs. :)
Also, I put mayo on my hotdogs.

I call it mayo, but I use Miracle Whip instead. And only just enough to keep the bread on my sandwich from being too dry.
Preferred condiments are mustard (the browner and more seeds the better) and salsa.

Or full attack and just eat the -4.

Like almost all new technological achievements, the internet (and the various tools it supports) has had both negative and positive effects. I wouldn't count boring salad tales as a negative - I would count the mob mentality that the combination of annonimity and the ability to reach anyone is encouraging.
However, like other technologies, I believe the good outweighs the bad significantly. You improve communication and some of the uglier aspects of human interaction will come out - but knowledge becomes easier to share. That is such a big deal if for no other reason than that it could only expediate further technological advancement - and as TheJeff said, the tool does have its own unrelated applications.
Hummus and avocado salad you say? OMG, that is awesome! I gonna make some too!
Did you ever have either humus or Avocado? a salad of both sounds like a very bad idea...

Indeed, the Internet is probably the greatest invention in human history in terms of the good it's done. It's what people do with the Internet that causes the consternation.

Sriracha (Thai: ศรีราชา, [sǐː rāː.t͡ɕʰāː] ( listen)) is a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt.[1] It is named after the coastal city of Si Racha, in Chonburi Province of eastern Thailand, where it may have been first produced for dishes served at local seafood restaurants
Gotta try that.
I reflexively search anything I don't understand.

If you attack from prone are you -4 to hit?

I've eaten guac. and hummus. Probably good with the right chip.
