Ask Lemmy

It's easier and generally more acceptable to ask here than in the grocery store.

So I'll actually answer since I've never shared this even though the post is making a joke.

It's not really murder I'm sure, but it has stuck with me forever. I took care of my grandmother through the end stages of her cancer as some form of "hospice" care. I was the one that gave her morphine when she needed it and essentially within days of starting it she became more and more zombified and then passed away. It happened within roughly a week. It was only after all that did learn about morphine toxicity in the elderly and realized that even though it helped her with the pain I'm pretty sure I "killed" her. :(

I recently murdered a bowl of mac and cheese. It was premeditated.

I coughed without a mask near an old lady ranting about liberals in a super conservative little town in Texas during COVID.

I've murdered my soul working at an office

I'm not really sure how it works but I was told I gobbled up my brother as an embryo in the womb. He was yummy.

I had these really annoying ducks near my house and I would shoot at them, but missed a lot. The neighbor’s dog would pop out of the tall grass and LAUGH at me each time. It made me so mad I tried to murder that dog multiple times but he always got away.

I've made an inexcusable mistake that caused someone to die. It's been 20-ish years, still not over it. Is anyone even allowed to get over something like that and go on with their lives?

People ask because murderers exist, and if they've served their sentence, they might be willing to answer and have interesting stories?

People like to ask edgy questions to get imaginary points or to feel important by getting hidden information, people are goofy.

Why are people religious? In part because it's human nature to want to know things that other people don't know. Fake hidden knowledge is a sweet treat to a truth starved brain

Reddit: "Women of Reddit, how do I make you give me sex?"

Yeah.

I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

No Mr Officer.

I have never commited a felony.

Oh yeah!

In many jurisdictions there is a big difference between murdering and killing. Murder it’s almost always a giant no-no. The killing angle would more likely get you some stories. There’s a tumblr (?) thread about women offing their husbands etc for some pretty reasonable reasons - although, honestly, a lot of those were probably murder; now that I think of it.

There was someone I know who died of covid, and there is reason to believe I was the one who gave it to them. I remember frantically rereading scripture after that for an assessment to get an idea of the weight of that. I don't like the thought.

Shyea right, nice try NSA, like I would ever tell you about that time on September 27, 2012, 3:03 am, Jefferson Dr in Bowling Green, Ohio, when I was driving drunk and veered around a corner, slamming into someone walking along the road. Or that the pedestrian is killed instantly and I sped away without calling 9-1-1. You think I’d rat myself out like that?

I would tell you but then I would have to kill you.

Yes I'm a mass murder and so is my family, the skin cells that I shed every day are entitled to the personhood that we afford people! Never mind that the death and shedding of skin cells in natural, normal and everyone does it, we must protect the skin cells!

Nice try, fed
