Hell, I wouldn't tell it here as well. It's going to the grave with me.

[–] madcow@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But maybe you could explain the secret of your username? Is it unicode for the chinese word "乏" which means poor/tired? Is it some magic number or boot signature? I need to know!!

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.rollenspiel.monster 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No.

It's just NO in hex... sorry the mystery isn't deeper.

[–] madcow@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh right... I went into full conspiracy mode when it should have been pretty obvious. (Or maybe you just want us to believe that...)

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.rollenspiel.monster 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe... but I guess you'll never know.

[–] madcow@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm... if you convert each byte to little endian floating point, you'll get a latitude/longitude of 1.09301/1.10702. And those coordinates lead to a point right in the north atlantic ocean. Is this where you hid the body?! gestures wildly

You farted on a babies face and made it cry, didn't you?

[–] orphiebaby@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To be fair, the baby would've cried even if they didn't do that.

Same. Nothing super earth shattering, but sometimes it's good to let sleeping dogs lay asleep.

Unfortunelately I will not tell that to strangers on the internet either

[–] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Ha, I'm not falling for this one a third time.

I killed a circus clown in a Wendy's parking lot in 1996.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Do I just upvote this post if my answer is the same?

Asking for a friend.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I generally disagree with murder, but I'm terrified of clowns, so I'm super conflicted about this.

I’m certain that I am some degree of polyamorous. But I’m in a 10-year monogamous relationship and feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place

[–] Munkey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Might not be to late me and my wife of 12 years are starting talks of this.

[–] Ubettawerk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you don’t mind, how did you two even start that conversation? I’m afraid to bring it up because I know the knee-jerk reaction will probably be a lot of hurt feelings and misunderstandings

[–] Munkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

She brought it up first. Key thing is being open and honest and setting clear boundaries that both people need to follow. Trust is the biggest thing to keeping things good.

Not never, but at least for a few years (hopefully not my entire life): I'm transgender. 😞

[–] visak@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

To whoever downvoted this, I hope you have a five day bout of constipation.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As a man who had this once I sorta hate you right now for reminding me about it but mostly I agree

After I jerk off, I sometimes admire my junk in the mirror.

I'm terrified of heights. No one knows. I'm great at faking it.

[–] chepox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So am I. I took rock climbing lessons. It was one of the hardest things I ever did. Eventually I lost the fear and felt awesome. Stopped climbing for years and now it's back. Fuck.

[–] Lapus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That is interesting how it went away and came back. Putting me on a ladder almost paralyzes me. I have to block the world out and focus on breathing in order to finish the task I got up there to do. .

[–] chepox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Exposure treatment works. It sucks but it works. You just have to keep chiseling at it slowly but constantly. If you keep it up for long enough you will realize that feeling is almost gone when exposed to heights. The key here is being relentless at exposing yourself to what scares you (safely). In my mind, I just thought my brain was getting bored with always being scared and it just kinda went away. About a year in I went from not being able to walk on the hallway of the 4th floor of my college building to actually sitting on the railing (like everyone else). The thing is I wasn't faking not being scared. I was genuinely not scared.

I like sex with men above 50+.

My password manager password and anything about my life

[–] soulifix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh so we're going to try and carry on the tradition of fishing for people's dark secrets on here now too? Lame.

[–] erockdanger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I won't tell anyone about that fart I shouldn't have trusted

Nice try, Jared!

When I was about 11 I found roadkill, put it in a mailbox close to my home, watched from the window, and laughed when the mailman screamed.
