A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.

Do I have to pick only one? I wasn’t a very bright kid.

Willingly let someone taze my testicles in exchange for a beer
Chased black bears off the trail behind our house for no reason, usually with nothing more than a nearby stick
Skinny dipping in a river known to be filled with leeches
Got in a drunk argument with a raccoon, which led to my first underage drinking ticket because I refused to be spoken to in that tone
Became friends with said raccoon and even met its kits once over stale day old bread I brought home from my high school job at Jimmy John’s
Made a potato gun and accidentally fired it backwards, breaking the glass window in the garage
Threw M80’s into the water to go fishing Crocodile Dundee style
Believed a girl I barely knew when she said she was on the pill

Every single point is wonderful.

I’m waiting for Hollywood to pick up the movie rights to this comment

Perfectly understandable and the fact that you later became friends shows that establishing boundaries is important.

I like that you and the raccoon were able to reconcile your differences
