I was a latchkey kid. I once set my garbage can on fire by accident. I also microwaved bacon. I can't believe I'm alive.

Pissed on an electric fence and then immediately pissed on my face.

Most of the dumb stuff I did as a kid involved either getting concussed, set on fire or electrocuted. It was like a weekly roulette.

turn it all around

I put my tongue on a chin-up bar on the playground during recess as a child in the dead of New York winter. Nobody saw me as I panicked with my tongue stuck to the metal. I pulled it off and left my skin on the bar as I swallowed my blood the rest of the day. I decided I’d just say I bit my tongue sledding down a hill but never had to because nobody ever asked about it.

I jumped off an abandoned fridge, caught my toes on the coils, smacked face first into the coils then fell crown first to the ground.

Today I fell off an electric scooter into gravel at 15mph so some things never change.

I tried the tongue on a metal post thing in 2nd grade because I was skeptical. It worked. I was cautious enough that I only had a small part of my tongue on it so I pulled it off ..with only a minimal loss.

I used to love sledding and then I used a snow tube and promptly met the electrical meter of a townhouse jaw first. I tried sledding again after that but the fear was inside me now so it wasn't the same

oh dumb kid stuff???

I wasn't watching where I was running, ran full speed into a rope swing hanging from a branch and the resulting rope burn and bruise around my neck made it look like someone tried to hang me



I've got other dumb stories of accidentally trying to destroy myself, but that one probably looked the most intense. The worst part was swinging around and falling flat on my back, knocking the wind out of me.

One time me and my friend were playing outside and we snuck into our neighbor's backyard and he had an alligator chained up to a tree with its mouth taped shut. We got close to it and it swung its tail and we high tailed it out of there and got stuck in a thorn bush. I was 6.

I had a giant stuffed animal walk around in my room. It freaked me out at first but they kept doing it so I complained the bear was taken away. I was 6.

I didn’t think much about it until I saw AKIRA and wonder if maybe I saw that as a kid and it bled through.

I was playing a mix of horse and darts with my step brother and thought up sitting upside down in a chair beneath the board. I threw it awkwardly up, it obviously bounced right of the board, and fell right back down into my ear like it was an earring. I always think about how I almost blinded myself that day.

Would you be my new best friends?

My mom had a friend come visit with her kid when I was like 6 years old so of course we climbed up onto the garage roof and my sister dared me to jump off so of course of course I did. Was so excited that I did it that I raced inside to brag to my mom and her friend. They got excited about it... just not quite in the same way.

A few years later I got up the guts to climb the giant rear end tree in my grandparents' backyard, got to the top and slipped and fell like 20 feet but "luckily" I hit several branches along the way which slowed me down till I hit one that was big enough that I got stuck on it, and lay there gasping and wheezing and kind of weirdly exhilarated at how close I came to dying (it was a really, really big loving tree!). Eventually I climbed down and went and told my grandma, who very sweetly told me not to climb the tree again because the birds that live in it would beat me up :shobon:

When I was like 12 I snapped my ankle falling off a roof holding a gun. I was so laser focused on not dropping the gun that I fell in pretty much the worst possible angle, so even though it was only around 10 feet I totally obliterated it. Didn't drop the gun though!

When I was 10 I cut my palm open with an x-acto knife at a summer science class and didn't want to bother anyone so I put a napkin on it and wrapped my hand in masking tape, and when I was 13 I got a gash in my thigh from a jagged bench at school and didn't want to bother anyone so I spent the rest of the day with my gym shirt wrapped around my leg, and when I was 15 I impaled my heel on an exposed framing nail in the backyard and didn't want to bother anyone so I hopped one-legged up the stairs into the bathroom so I could wash it out and put a bandaid on my foothole except the sound woke my mom up and it turned out I'd left a blood trail all the way through the house.

Also as long as we're reliving childhood trauma I got grounded once because my brother threw a cat at me and it radicalized me as to the inadequacies of the justice system.

Good morning. I'm making chili for the first time. I hope it comes out well. I wanted it a little thick so I added a little flour but the color doesn't look as good and I didn't chop the onions fine enough. So cooking lessons were learned today. I hope it tastes good though. Also I learned how to minc a clove of garlic and did that well so yay for youtube tutorials.

I love making chili. My hot tip is to not worry about thickening it and just load it up with more ingredients because that'll do the job. Mushrooms, onions, peppers, celery, corn, carrots, pinto beans, kidney beans... Beans especially will help thicken it, but you can put anything you want in there. Chili is magic.

My warm tip is to never add water. I just use a can or two of crushed tomatoes.

I reccommend the diced tomato cans with the peppers in them. Don't drain. PLORP. But I'm not normal, so you do whatever you want.

a big chili tip is to learn to use dried chilis. they're available in the mexican section of any supermarket, they're dirt cheap, and they keep basically forever. just rip off the tops and dump out the seeds, soak them in warm water till soft (about 15ish minutes depending on how warm the water is), blend till smooth, and dump them in. beats chili powder by a country mile.

Chili is a neverending experiment with what you love. It's a little like a marriage, I would say, having never been married but definitely having eaten chilis. You add a little spice, you think, "Ooh, that's a bit spicy!" So you add a little talcum powder. I don't think you should add talcum powder to marriages or chili but it suffices for my point. Which is to say

I forget

Good luck with the chili

most chili recipes don’t have you reduce for long enough. Reducing is key imo. You don’t want meat soup. Nobody wants meat soup. I think my wife also uses corn starch as a cheat to thicken stuff up, works well.

Having been married several times, I can assure you the secret is not more spice. It’s actually something sweet.

Same applies to chili.
