So far I’ve seen only pretty believable answers here so I’ll add my own: I’ve never been drunk enough to pass out, vomit, forget things or fall.
Or you just don’t remember?
I’ve never been drunk at all. Never really had more than one or two drinks in one day.
Same. I get a little warm and I don’t like it, so I stop. Why in the world would I have MORE?
Don’t you want to be able to see the 50 or 60Hz flicker of the lights?
Is that a thing that happens? Sounds unpleasant.
You’re not missing anything.
wink
Same here except for the vomiting part.
Same here! I do get drunk on occasion but never out of control
I’ve never broken a bone but I think I’ve had about 60 stitches in total
Never broke a bone club!
I’ve broken several. Cannot recommend it, in fact it is quite unpleasant.
But if you had to pick, which was your favorite?
Nose, because the other three I’ve broken all made me unable to use an arm for a while and it is fucking infuriating to try to put socks on with only one hand every morning
Big toe first, over to little toe, then go underneath and pull towards the heel.
oh shit really?
Don’t believe random people on the internet! Get a hammer or a tall ledge and find out yourself
Same, except I’ve counted my stitches: 102
The only bone I’ve ever broken was my sternum. I couldn’t do sports for several weeks but had no cast or anything to show off. I could only sit there and let my body do the healing.
I’ve fractured plenty but never had a complete break. Fractures still suck though.
Well I have a college degree, so people find it funny I never technically graduated high school. Did enough classes to qualify for graduation then ran away halfway through the year and never looked back. I was already enrolled at the college in an arts program so they didn’t ask for the certificate. It didn’t matter until I tried to get a job in a bureaucracy in my 40s and they wanted evidence of high school diploma. Which I didn’t have.
God I hated high school.
I got tossed sophomore year, and got my GED later.
I graduated with a B.S. in engineering a few years ago.
I know them feels
My coworkers are always surprised when they first learn that I didn’t even finish high school. I work with people who are mostly highly educated. Most with masters degrees, a few with bachelor’s and doctorates. While they were studying, I was geeking out over some project that I did just for fun. Turns out that the skills I ended up with were exactly what my career for the past 15 years needs.
Nice! I kind of know how you feel. I’ve studied to be a machinist, now I’m an enterprise architect.
Never smoked a cigarette. Not even took a single drag. I’m not even sure I ever touched one.
Me neither. I didn’t know something like this would be so hard to believe
I’ve done just about every drug out there. Had a pretty significant meth problem in my late teens and early 20’s. Never smoked a cigarette.
Just always seemed too gross to be worth it.
I’ve never been to a concert, that seems to be one that people find bizarre
Just sad. My stepsons had never been to a concert and my kids thought that was crazy because I had brought them to shows since they were babies. Like, I can remember my first show but they can’t. They all love music now.
I love music but I’ve just never been, if someone invited me sure I’d go, but other than that not sure why I would want to. At this point I’m probably getting too old for that crowd anyway
We would invite you, and never too old! I go by myself sometimes too, that is also fun. Can just listen to the music without having to socialize. Live music is just one of the best things ever.
As a show goes that loves to vibe towards the back, I encourage you to go.
Shows are great. You don’t need to fight crowds, be up front, or dance if you don’t want to. I prefer small shows, usually at bars. But even large stadium shows have an energy that’s hard to describe.
Do you live in or near a big metropolitan area? If so you can probably fulfill this one within the month depending on how broad your musical tastes are. Some shows are prohibitively expensive, but a lot of smaller ones are remarkably affordable.
Edit: I myself enjoy a decently broad range of music. One of my favorite types of concerts, though, is when the local symphony puts on a movie and they play the soundtrack. These are really fun because you get to go to a symphony concert but if you get bored you can watch a movie!
In my mid-40s and never have gotten a cavity.
I’m 38, I’ve had a few cavities, but somehow never a proper cavity search.
You should ask your TSA agent the next time youre at an american airport
Not many people can say that. You must pay a lot of attention to your brushing.
Someone can feel free to correct me but I’ve read that it’s also partly genetic.
It has to be genetic. My partner brushes AND flosses and I’ve never flossed and had a period of my life raving and staying over places without a toothbrush. Brushing sometimes. I’m in my late 30s and have never had a cavity. They are 30 and have had lots of them.
And exposure to fluoride! Fluoride makes strong teeth!
38 here, same. The only dental work I’ve had done was orthodontics.
Likewise. I had braces twice, a bunch of baby teeth, all wisdom teeth and 2 permanent teeth pulled because my “mouth was too small”. I have some fucked up dreams but the scariest ones are those where my teeth are loose or falling out. I think I have dental PTSD…
I’ve never seen the ocean
You should, it’s pretty nice.
Kinda big scary lake init?
Not too scary - plus it goes splash all on its own!
Big lakes do that as well
Have you also never left Philadelphia?
Never have I ever intentionally shoplifted anything from a store.
intentionally
I seriously have accidentally stolen something before.
Me too, should we start a community for accidental criminals?
Edit to add: I accidentally shoplifted shoelaces. I put them in the breast pocket of my shirt while looking for a few other things in the store. I think I left without buying anything at all.
Mine was worse. Had a CD in my hand, that should be enough of an indicator this was long ago, and browsing around the store. Well, I saw a bunch of my friends just left so I ran to catch up with them and luckily theb security alarm didn’t go off. 10 mins later I realized what was in my hand. 😬
My clients accidentally shoplifted a can of tuna.
Are all of your clients cats or just that one?
Just dese too yoots.
(It’s a reference to the courtroom dramedy film My Cousin Vinny, in which two innocent boys from New York driving throuth Alabama stop at a convenience store for groceries, one has so much food he’s carrying he sticks a can of tuna in his pocket, forgets about it by the time he gets to the register, realizes it’s in his pocket after they leave, and are then arrested for first degree murder. Joe Pesci ensues.)
Ah, of course! It has been far too long since I’ve watched My Cousin Vinny and I shall take this as a sign that it’s time.
You should, though.
When I was a young teen I did this a few times because my friends were doing it but those memories are shameful now.
I’ve never had a fever.
I can’t decide if that’s good or bad.
Bad. If you’ve never had a fever, check for AIDS, and not the peanut butter kind.
I dunno either! I rarely get sick though so shrug
Yes you have.
Bullshit. You would never have survived infancy.
Does your name happen to be David?
Never had sex with anyone but my wife. Met her at 17. Now approaching 40.
That’s hard to imagine.
I’ve never eaten a Twinkie
you’re not missing much. They’re fine I guess.
Never appealed to me. If I were to choose something in that class a Hostess Cup Cake always seemed like the more obvious choice.
That being said Little Debbie > Hostess. Give me an Oatmeal Cookie, Star Crunch, or Nutty Buddy over either of those every day…
I’m with you all the way.
I’ve never eaten a Pop Tart
Okay, most Pop Tarts are like, I dunno, take ‘em or leave ‘em.
But they have this new Banana Bread kind, and if you ever want to have your first Pop Tart (and you like banana bread) you could do far worse.
I don’t believe you.
deleted by creator
I’ve never even seen one in real life.
Granted they’re probably made of something that’s regulated here so…
Yeah, knew it;
The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don’t even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.
(such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)
Never learned to ride a bicycle.
Heyo, me too! I tried as a kid and busted my knee when I fell off, and gave it up.
I’ve been afraid of falling since I was very very young, so that’s what led me to never want to ride :)
I’ve never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I’ve seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.
I’ve never watched a hockey match, which is our local religion.
I don’t like or watch hockey but I won tickets to a Canucks game once. It was pretty cool. My favourite part was the timbits team or whatever and it was just a bunch of like 4 and 5 year olds falling all over the ice at half time.
WHAT
I’ve played hockey. You can’t touch me, the covenant still holds.
Damn, you win this round
I’m an American and I’ve never had a burger or mac & cheese. Isn’t autism so fun? Yipee!
This was legitimately in my meme folder
hook it up with some memes at !ausomememes@lemmy.autism.place
How does autism affect whether you’ve had mac & cheese or a burger?
(This question is not meant to be accusatory at all, purely curious.)
ARFID. Has a common link to autism, but autism serves as a more overarching issue for me. It’s my refusal to accept therapy due to some weird complex that’s also a problem.
my refusal to accept therapy due to some weird complex that’s also a problem.
Hey, that one I totally get (as a non-autist, but with ADHD and there’s some overlap/camaraderie there).
When I was in college I had a really positive experience with therapy, overall, although my therapist did (rightly) encourage my parents to get me into inpatient psychiatric care for a few days when I was at my lowest point of depression. That inpatient stay was extremely beneficial for me, I came out of it much healthier and in a better place, but I was also brought there against my will.
Since then I’ve had a weird thing where I cognitively know I should go to therapy, but I just cannot bring myself to do it. I fully understand inpatient was the right call, my therapist did the right thing, therapy is very helpful, and there are plenty of other therapists anyway. But I still have this like, nagging anxiety about it. Loss of freedom can do weird things to the psyche.
Fortunately I’ve had some recent positive experience, since my wife and I decided to go to some couples’ therapy (nothing serious, just wanted to make sure we can have as healthy a relationship as possible) and it helped a lot. So I’m starting to reconsider the whole notion.
