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
There was this prince fleeing his African kingdom that fell shortly after. He contacted me and wanted my help in moving much of his wealth abroad. I decided I couldn’t help him, because I was preoccupied with different stuff back then. To think that I lost the possibility to gain some neat percentage of all this money…
The real life equivalent to this is that time back in like 2012 or some shit when I heard about this new thing called the silk road and bitcoin, and I considered buying bitcoin at like $0.50, but was broke and got my weed locally no problem anyway, so why should I bother?
If I had a time machine…
Started smoking. Absolutely, hands down the dumbest decision of my life. I hope the kids these days are being smarter about that. Still dealing with my nicotine addiction in other ways.
Message to people my age (early twenties). I have been smoking since 18-19 and I liked it so much that I didn’t bother quitting or reducing. There were moments which I knew the harms and bad effects it did to my body even in the short term, I was constantly telling myself to keep going because life is too short anyways & smoking is fun etc.
Then one day while having a conversation with my older brother who is also a smoker, he laughed with his mouth open and I saw his teeth in 4K… Damn, then I thought, if I keep going my teeth will be same in, 5 years? No, thanks.
It is easy if you have a motivation, lol it’s curiel one maybe but it worked. The only thing I miss is the fake dopamine rush. The need for that quick happiness, it still needs a bit of time to go away.
By the way, it’s been a month or so and I feel less miserable and more energetic now. I realize now, how smoking made me lay down and rest constantly. Hope you get the message.
Best.
Only a coward pulls out. /s
