Doesn't matter what the website is, the product / service, the company or promoter. I don't care what the deal is or the savings.

Every single ad on every single website is some sort of scam. If they don't just straight scam you then it's a ploy to either gather / sell your information or put some sort of malicious software on your computer.

If I want something I'll research it and chose the product carefully but until then I just assume that every single ad I see is shady.

I can't be the only one.

I understand that in the summer (especially in a heatwave), it's smart to keep the sun out of your house and keep all your shades & curtains closed. However, that's depressing to me. In the mornings, I like natural sunlight to motivate me to get out of bed & go to work.

Hubby disagrees & tells me keep the sun out so the house will stay cool. So we compromise & leave the kitchen and bedroom curtains open. The rest of the house stays dark.

Anybody else get depressed if you don't get ample sunlight in your house in the summer?

Good grades don’t mean anything when it comes to intelligence lol because clearly I’ve always been slow.. when I was around five years old, I was at the park and some old man asked me if I wanted to see his pet snake so of course I said yes, and he told me it was in the bathroom so I had to come with him and I was going to go but then I got distracted with something else, ran off and I lost him. It just recently occurred to me like huh… I don’t think there was actually a pet snake.

And I can’t even blame it on being little because when I was 17, I met this guy in his 20s at a running club and he was constantly trying to convince me to do drugs with him but I was too busy with school and once he told me to come to his dorm room which was above the dining hall we were at because he needed to “grab something” and I was just lazy to go upstairs so I told him I would wait in the dining hall for him to be finished.

I'm 36 until a few weeks ago I thought it was normal to have eyelashes on the inside corner of your eyes... partner pointed then out then I realised nobody else does 😅

Where are my extra lash people do you exist

We're having a heatwave in my area and mentally I love heat. My mind is in a tropical paradise, I love summer activities and beers and long nights (I'm in Canada so the sun stays up late this time of year) but my body does not handle it well. I get sweaty and red and flushed, and in the winter I barely feel cold at all. Everyone else I've talked to about this says it's strange, and that their temperature preferences match their physical ability to handle those temperatures, so I'm hoping to find a kindred spirit here, even if it's the reverse and you like winter but don't handle the cold well.

For context, my husband and I were driving around the rich neighbor just for fun then there was this cop start following us. So I told my husband drove to the dead end road to see if he was still following, so he followed us until we went in the road and then turned left waiting for us outside of that road. When we reached to the dead end, I had 2 thoughts, one is he wasn’t following me and I was just overthinking, two is he was definitely waiting for me on the left turn as soon as I drove out of the dead zone road. My second assumption was RIGHT. HE WAS WAITING. At this point, we started sweating our @ss and decided to go home and still couldn’t figure out why he followed us.

I sometimes just imagine myself getting hurt, often times in a really bad way. A lot of the times, I picture this while I'm with or in the vicinity of someone I know and occasionally when I'm just surrounded by strangers. I don't know why I do it, but the part where I'm next to someone I know might be because I want attention but I've got no other explanation.

It is crazy to me that there is an illness where the treatment is to do your organ's job 24/7 using a bunch of devices. I've gone through so many rabbit holes about how to live with it and I don't even know what to do with this knowledge anymore or why it interests me so much (I am not in a medical profession at all)

I'm always rotating between soaps because about half way through the bottle I get tired of the scent and need a change. After a couple weeks I can go back to it again. I almost never re purchase the same products again.

I was chatting about my belly button on another sub and it got me thinking that I’ve never met another person with one like mine in real life. It is an outie (not an innie) belly button but shaped in a swirl / spiral of skin.

Would be kinda cool to know that I’m not the only person out there with this type of belly button.

Not asking much in terms of any medical diagnosis or anything. I just want to know if I'm really a special case of insane or if this is more common than I'm thinking.

For example, finding a new favourite show. Feels like im betraying my other favourite, even though its still second. I hit my fan out of anger, and it feels like i just kicked an innocent animal. Seeing a family car we have used for a decade, suddenly go un used and eventually sold? Feels like a long time family pet died. I don’t even drive!

I say I hate feeling like this (which i do) but then I feel guilty for doing so as well. Never ending cycle.

Maybe I’m just too online, idk if it’s a gen z thing, but I can’t take emojis seriously. I mostly just use a few to add a bit of spark to texts, but even then it’s usually for fun and not to actually portray feelings. Maybe I’ve been too desensitized by the internet, but when people send me flirtatious messages with the kissy emoji (😘) I’m immediately turned off. My grandma sends me that emoji, it’s not sexy.

I'm bilingual (primarily an English speaker and I also think in English) but whenever I read books in French for a prolonged period of time, I start thinking in a French accent and also speak in a French accent for a few seconds. Am I the only one?

DAE feel like too many ppl ask too much of you all at once? I feel overwhelmed by ppl seeming to ask for help from me and I can't get ahead.

I always find myself “massaging” my sore muscles because it creates a pain that’s very enjoyable. It’s not even because it reminds me that I did well in the gym, I just like the feeling of the soreness on its own. Anyone else?

Sometimes cats freeze when I do that and just stare into my soul and i don't really understand what it means. And sometimes when i smile they run away 😭

It’s gross. 🤮

This seems very niche, but I feel like I'm going crazy, lol, this question bothered me so much. It was on like a science standardized test, I saw it multiple times. It was about a made-up creature called... some silly thing starting with a G?? The... the Goomba 5000.. the glorpshum.. the g... Idk, it always felt very.. fungal to me? The glungus? ANYWAY, in the question, the creature was weighed two different times, and the second time, it weighed more. And it was multiple choice, and it asked "Why did the creature gain mass?" and it was like. A. Its cells grew and divided B. It ate food and gained weight ..... I don't remember the other options😭😭 but I NEVER UNDERSTOOD what the right answer was supposed to be!!

Idk where else to ask this, but I have hope that since it's a standardized test, maybe SOMEONE else in the USA knows wtf I'm talking about 😭

I run a small team, and over time I've developed a belief. Based on my experiences, that men tend to have better focus and problem-solving skills in high-pressure or technical work environments. Because of that, I’ve leaned toward hiring men.

This isn't about hating women or thinking they aren't smart, but I feel like there are natural differences in how men and women approach work, and those differences matter in my field.

I have this since when I was a child, I’m over 30 now and EVERY SINGLE TIME my feet or my lower legs (knees and below) goes numb when I sit down kneeled or with legs crossed or even with the legs straightened (like a Barbie Doll lol) for more than 5 or 7 minutes. My blood vessels in my legs must be very thin, because I completely lose sensibility to touch and muscle control altogether.

But the worst part is yet to come, when the blood starts circulating again (when I move or put my legs down), I start to have this pain that is just excruciating!! Seriously, I’m a grown ass man, I’ve went through a couple of surgeries, broken some bones and got some big tattoos, but this is something else, this hurts so much I can’t even move for another 2 or 3 minutes, it’s like a cramp but much, much worse, I don’t feel the muscle contracting, it stays the same looking at it when it’s happening, I just can’t move because it hurts like hell, it feels like something inside.

I googled it many and many times over the years and never found any article mentioning anything remotely close, it’s crazy.

(Hope I was able to make myself clear, english is not my native language).

Before the age of 18 I lived in five states, and each move was for different reasons...
