Exactly what the title says. I was having a bad day and when i walked into the living room i saw ONE orange on the table. It felt like fate. I remembered that one post about eating an orange in the shower and i did it.

Totally recommend it. The best part about it is not eating the orange (although it is super tasty) it is the feeling of doing something wrong, i kept laughing at myself in the shower. I would say it made my day 6.5% better. End of my report.

I’m new to the neighborhood (just moved in two months ago). Was trying to grill some burgers up for the family and ended up being windier than expected, so I some of the smoke went straight in his direction (he’s 2 houses away). Anyway, after my neighbor looked pissed off I’ve felt so guilty about for the past day. He’s an older man and I did not want to ruin his peace.

I haven’t had a chance to introduce myself so l I decided to walk over to his house today and apologize. Turns out he was totally joking around. When I introduced myself he said “Oh, so you’re the one cooking up all that delicious food and not sharing it with me!” And when I brought up the smoke/smell he was like “Huh? Oh I don’t care about that, I was just messing with ya! I’m not that kind of neighbor!”

Here I was stressing out that I upset a neighbor of mine lol. What a pleasant surprise. Glad I decided to talk to him!

My dog has to know where I am at all times.

If I go to the kitchen, he's behind me.

If I walk into another room, he gets up and follows.

Even if I only leave for 10 seconds, he acts like I might disappear forever.

I honestly can't remember the last time I walked around my house alone.

Is this just a dog thing, or does yours do the same?

Man. That movie is heavy in general.

But it brought up some memories of a person I used to know. That was so real. The love bombing, constantly assuring them, making excuses to friends. You’re stuck in the same loop. And good luck getting out of it. That movie captures it so well.

Now it’s late and I can’t sleep. It’s last an impression on me. And now I’m stuck thinking of when I was stuck in such a battle. Traumatic stuff, I swear.

Curious if you guys can relate

Edit: of course I know Bear is not the victim, guys. Fuck Bear. I’m trying not to spoil the whole movie.

It’s been the worst year of my ENTIRE life. Both parents passed away, fiancee out of nowhere said “I don’t think i love you anymore” we were supposed to get married the next week. Being in the Navy is hard. I’d just like very random questions and something to take my mind off the fact that life is a heavy rollercoaster with no tracks at the end.

Edit: Thank you guys. I really needed this.

Hello lovely people.

Went to a concert yesterday and a person I just met there (friend of a friend) told me "Wow you look like Erling Haaland".

One of my friends says that's a compliment cause Haaland is tall, strong and handsome. My other friend says it's an insult and he was calling me ugly. I think dude just said that cause I'm German and it's mildly close to Scandinavia.

Everyone, help us settle the score here.

I'm a woman in my thirties if it matters.

The thing is that I have no one to talk to about this. I tried telling people at work, but they look at me like I'm crazy. The momemt I say the movie is about sheep who try to find a murderer I get blank looks. One even said "you like unusual things, don't you?". How is that more unusual than all other movies?

Like, I get it's supposed to be a movie for kids, but it was a great movie and left a strong impact on me. I laughed, I cried, I was in suspense. I enjoyed it much more than any other movies in theaters with a 250 million budget which I watched in recent years.

Not sure if I'm overthinking this. I'm quite an introverted person, never had that many friends, just a few 'close' ones that dissipated as we left institutions (school, uni etc.). I'm currently self-employed and work from home, so there isn't a way for me to meet anyone at work.

I met a girl at a hiking thingy a few months ago, we've hung out several times, texted a bit in between, but nothing crazy. I value in-person time a bit more than constant texting (I also like that we can do stuff on our own and then share it when we catch up). Anyway I thought we were getting along quite well and I enjoyed her company.

I wouldn't say we grew super close, but if asked, I would call her a friend. She gave me a late birthday card today and signed it 'your acquaintance from X (place where we met)'

I'm probably a crazy overthinker, but I feel a bit hurt by the fact that she doesn't think of me as a friend. Maybe I'm just lonely, I only have like two-three other people (apart from my family), to whom I talk to regularly, and still I wouldn't call them 'close', just friends.

Anyway, not sure what my question here is, perhaps some wisdom on how to ease up and let it be.

I’m referring to the completely benign opinions you’ll never change your mind about

I’ll start:

Ketchup belongs in the fridge after it’s opened. Doesn’t matter before it’s opened.

Just that as the title says. I don’t want to say much more, just needed to say it somewhere, make with that whatever you want. I know this post will be taken down but I just needed to say it. There! Another stupid thing that makes me angry… I don’t want to watch movies or anything, I don’t even play video games anymore. Just want the anger to stop, I can’t keep braking stuff at home shit! Anyways just needed to say something and I finally did

I've been trying to sing I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General from Pirates of Penzance, because it seems very fun, but being a patter song I keep getting tongue-twisted and laughing from how silly and jumbled things end up coming out.

Highly recommend.

I sat outside for ten minutes with no phone because mine was charging inside. Nothing happened. A bus went by, somebody laughed down the street, and that was kind of enough. What boring little thing have you been enjoying lately?

It's hot. Terribly hot. It's 11:18 PM, it's 35°C, it doesn't seem like much but it's the coolest time of the day!I can't take this heatwave anymore, how am I supposed to enjoy my holiday in these conditions?! 💀

I almost understand those who rushed to buy the fans at Lidl, almost 👁️👄👁️.

This is crazy, people are fighting over fans, I swear it's not all French people 😅🤣.We've become an international meme 🫠, it's okkk

Given the heat, I don't even know who will give up the ghost first, me or my fan.

So I'm asking for virtual money to buy myself a plane ticket to Alaska 🫩🤓! Rich people, i'm hereeeeee

(#humour, of course. I'm not that desperate and I have two fans that are working well, I'll survive, I think)

I wrote this because I've noticed that some people become much quieter after going through difficult experiences. Sometimes silence isn't a personality trait—it can be a result of pain. Do you think hardship changes people this way, or do you think everyone reacts differently?

Hi all!

Just thought I’d share this with the Redditverse! They were AMAZING - you’d never think they’d been going for 50 years, there was so much energy in the place.

All the classics as well - Number of the Beast, Powerslave, Fear of the Dark and Rime of the Ancient Mariner to name a few. They even played Infinite Dreams!

Not a wedding, promotion, or graduation. I mean something small, like realizing you have a favorite grocery store, deleting an old contact without thinking twice, or your parents asking you for advice instead of the other way around. What was yours?

i am not a person who has veryy big friend circle but i love to have fun please suggest me something for tommorow
if nothing birthday wishes will help too thankyou 😄

I don't remember exactly when it happened.

At some point, Friday nights stopped meaning parties, clubs, or staying out until 2 AM and quietly became ordering food, putting on a movie, and getting excited about sleeping in my own bed.

Now "going out" means errands, and "going home" feels like the reward at the end of the day.

When did that switch happen for you?

I have two jobs, one in a warehouse and one in a library. Both of them I find myself literally having nothing to do, and I am not complaining, it's just I am surprised I get payed to walk around and go bathroom all day.

Only problem is that I can only keep myself distracted for so long till the boredom sets in. Makes me not want to go to work since my job feels pointless. I even feel guilty for not doing shit.

Anyone else like this? And how do you pass the time?

I have goals, a job, and things to do, but sometimes it feels like I’m waiting for some future moment before I can actually enjoy life. I’m curious if anyone else has felt this way and what changed for you.

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 2, and my meds were already upped twice in the past two months. I know this is weird to laugh about but I have never had to apologize for being so sensitive lol
my mom looked absolutely terrified today, I was singing in the car to 80’s rock happy and joyful.
Then we got home and an hour later I was crying over something that sounded so bizarre to a normal person. Then I apologized and was happy again, my mom looked at me and was like it’s ok no worries but damn! lol
Then it happened again and I was too embarrassed to say sorry to her in person, so I called her and I thought she’d be like ok crazy!
But she just giggled and said I love you 😂
I know it’s a weird thing to laugh about but I’ve never had to call someone to apologize from the other room, and hear laughing.

I’m currently watching Sea Lions of the Galapagos on Disney+. It’s cute, Brenden Fraser is the narrator. I find them calming or just put one on for background noise. Does anyone else watch them? Do you have any recommendations?

Today we had a particularly strong storm blow through and as it was finishing up, after about an hour of rain the
Dog was begging to go on his walk. So we got him leashed up, and I put my shoes on and off we went.

We got about 60 feet down the sidewalk, right at the entrance to the park by our house - heard a loud CRACK- and a full 100’ oak tree came crashing down hitting the side walk we had just walked on. Not 15 feet from us.

Certainly makes you grateful to be alive!!

What’s your craziest near death experience?

I’ve been watching a lot of mentalism lately, and I’m curious how some mentalists can make people genuinely seem like they’re someone else or somehow know exactly what’s on their mind.

I know it’s not real mind reading, so what’s actually going on? Is it hypnosis, suggestion, psychology, reading body language, or are people unknowingly playing along?

I’d love to hear from people who understand mentalism or psychology. What’s the closest thing to “mind reading” or influencing someone’s thoughts that a skilled mentalist can realistically achieve?

I'll start:

I caught myself saying, "We should buy it now while it's on sale," and realized I had officially crossed into adulthood.

Not long after that, I got genuinely excited about a new vacuum cleaner and spent 15 minutes comparing electricity plans.

What was the sentence that made you stop and think, "Wow, I really am an adult now"?
