What's the worst you ever hurt yourself as a kid?
  • This is also mine. All day at a pool with no sunscreen. The burn had almost a purple hue to it and my parents did nothing about it so I lay in my room on my belly for days until eventually my parents dropped me off at my aunt and uncles and my uncle cotton saw my now cracking skin said "Boy get some aqua vera on that thing good god!" And after that it started to heal

  • What is something unexplained that you experienced?
  • Me and my brother shared a room one time and right outside our door to the right was a bathroom that was always left open with the light on. One night I woke up and noticed the light to the bathroom was being blocked out by 2 large dark figures that seemed to be holding hands and walking towards my bed. My bed was opposite the door and my brothers was to the right of the door. I quickly decided to get up and run to my brothers bed instead of waiting for them to reach me and my brother complained that I had kneed him in the back and told me to fuck off. I turned around and saw them still going towards my bed until they hit the wall behind it and disappeared. Idk what that was, probably my brain messing with me, but it was terrifying.

  • What is the biggest scam you've fallen for?
  • Rental housing scam. A place came up for rent near me with more rooms and I deseprately needed it for my kids but it turned out to be a reupload of a house that used to be for sale and the guy fooled me with the "application fee" thing along with trying to get me to pay him more money to allow pets but I learned by then it was fake and called him out on it and he ghosted me

  • Do you believe in free will?

    There is an argument that free will doesn't exist because there is an unbroken chain of causality we are riding on that dates back to the beginning of time. Meaning that every time you fart, scratch your nose, blink, or make lifechanging decisions there is a pre existing reason. These reasons might be anything from the sensory enviornment you were in the past minute, the hormone levels in your bloodstream at the time, hormones you were exposed to as a baby, or how you were parented growing up. No thought you have is really original and is more like a domino affect of neurons firing off in reaction to what you have experienced. What are your thoughts on this?
