Is there anything you've never done, that wouldn't be believed when sharing this with others? (links.hackliberty.org)

graduated high school and college without ever taking a dedicated biology or chemistry class.
never broken a bone.
never stung by a (live) bee (have stepped on a dead one, though).
can't say "never" any more, but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
have smelled, but have never even seen marijuana, let alone smoked any.

How could you tell the bee was dead when you stepped on it and not killed by you stepping on it?

[–] radix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.

I've never been stung by a bee either! I've had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee's version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in "their" territory. ... My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they'll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It's wild.

Do you mean other people wouldn't believe we've never done it or that they wouldn't believe us if we said we did due to being so associated with never having done it?

[–] LunchMoneyThief@links.hackliberty.org 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The former

People often don't believe I never went to vocal therapy or anything. Some people are skeptical of my NZ accent since I'm not anywhere where it's common and ask if it's artificial. If anything, it actually used to sound more Maori-ish, but certain neurological symptoms when I was little caused it to Kiwify. People think I'm just attention-seeking by having an accent I never asked for.

alls Ill say is : I could turn you inside-out, with what I choose, not to do. Seriously though im way nerdy and introvert type but im in my 50's so like eventually you do things. Never smoked though or taken a non prescription drug unless you include alcohol. Oh kratem but did not really have any effect.
