As a kid, I once killed a fly by squeezing an empty yogurt bottle, propelling the lid of said bottle and squatting the fly on the wall. I did that on purpose and it took some attempts.

In November 1988, I traveled to Yugoslavia and met the Medjugorje visionaries who claim that Mary, the mother of Jesus, appears to them.
Updates: Yugoslavia no longer exists. I am now an atheist.
I watched every minute of Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" in a movie theater.
I have flown from the Garden State to the Sunshine State in two different countries.
New Jersey to Florida, and...
Victoria to Queensland.
A little jealousy-provoking... But I'll allow it
physically mailed requests to opt out of binding arbitration agreements
Dope. Is that always an option somehow, or was it specified?
Was specified. Probably pretty rare these days, but this was ~11 years ago for a cruise with Holland America (and I hope to never go on a cruise ship again for the rest of my life)
(and I hope to never go on a cruise ship again for the rest of my life)
Story time? Did you get Legionnaire's disease or something?
Nah I just think they're horrific for the environment, and a pretty shitty way to visit new and distant places
Um, cool.
damnit have I failed the challenge??
Nah. It's a sidepool of cool, not the main current.
Iβm the first of my kind to land on a payroll on my line of work in my country. Iβm the reason my job recognized in the national job definitions papers.
I exemplified other companies that weβre worth permanent hiring, so I know at least 50 people got permanent jobs a few years after I did.
(Weβre usually hired for gigs or projects)
Okay butβ¦ this is cool. Doesnβt count
Ate a whole bar of soap in high school. I was in a military school, and it was an initiation/bet in a certain extracurricular group.
At practice one day, they asked if anyone wanted to earn $300. All the hands shot up.Then they asked if anyone wanted to eat soap. All hands drop. Then, they asked if anyone wanted to eat a bar of soap for $300. Me and one other dude raised our hands again. After practice we went back to the dorm of one of the group leaders where they laid out the rules: entry fee is $25. One bar of soap, cut into six pieces. The four smaller pieces are too be eaten in one bite, chewed minimum of ten times, and swallowed. The two bigger pieces had to be bitten in half, chewed, and swallowed. If you got all the soap down, you had to keep it down for 15 minutes. If you get this far, you keep all the entry fees of everyone that's failed before you.
Guy before me taps out halfway through. I finish, and hold it down for the required 15 minutes, as the leaders get more and more agitated. After i win and they give me my money, I'm informed that I've just ruined the party they hold every year after the last major inspection is completed. Turns out, they've been running this scam for years as a way to grift money from younger members to fund their own shenanigans. I'm told that I'm not to return to practice the following day, as I'm not longer a member of the club.
Joined yearbook instead, and bought a lot of pizza for my friends that semester.
Mmmm, soap.
Irish Spring to be exact! And i gotta say that first bite of pepperoni pizza afterwards was... pleasant. That's when i learned about the lye content in soap.
Drank breast milk straight from the source as an adult. I highly recommend it if you get the opportunity though.
Not to burst your bubble or anything. But I don't think it's that uncommon?
Honestly I hope it's not. Like I said in another reply, I've generally had negative reactions to it when I've mentioned it online before that lead me to question it.
I legit did this with a trans girlie who was on meds that had her lactating. Was hot AF.
When I was nursing my first kid I squirted some milk out into a cup because the guys I lived with wanted to taste it, and it didn't seem like a shockingly odd request. Also squirted it across the room into my ex's mouth, like why not have fun with it while you can?
Would NOT have wanted my ex nursing like a baby though. No. Not wrong or anything just a turn off.
Is that not a thing people do?
Tastes like sugary water.
No idea but it sure isn't talked about, and any time I've mentioned it online people act like it's weird and get grossed out. Just look at the only other reply I got so far.
Please tell me it was cow milk? Nope that also doesn't help.

Was the first person in Australia to complete dual recognition (tertiary certificate through VCE )
We were the pilot. Of the small class, two dropped out, third failed. I passed with a cert iv in horticulture alongside my VCE.
Well done. That's a decent effort. I can't imagine being so motivated when I was that age.
