This, anyone with strong glasses would be disabled in the stone age, lol. Needed some surgery before? You’d be dead. Ever broke a bone? Likely dead.

I went through my whole (living) family tree once and I’m pretty sure none of us would have survived, including me.

If you ever think you can fly: start from the ground.

Good advice for children and drunk people.

Better cloth dyes, probably?

I’m not from the US. Which words did y’all borrow?

I’m pretty sure the Italians would take the war criminal over you.

The first time I heard about sex from a friend, I was around 5 or 6 and went to my mom if that’s true. My mom went to the library, got some sex-ed books for kids and talked me through it. It ended up being not one single talk, but multiple, age appropriate ones spread over the years.

She didn’t do a perfect job, I’d say. There were many things left unknown and she was awkward with the topic (not an issue as a kid, certain issue as a teen).Though, considering that she got all her sex ed from magazines back in the day, definite progress on a generational scale.

I’m confident that I could do a better job than her, because she did a better job than her parents. That’s how it all works, no?

This is what I browse this sub for, thank you.

It’s a joke man.

Don’t do this to your kids if you think that was wrong, lol. I know people who grew up like this, complained to me and then started to behave the exact same way with their kids later on.

I know parents who don’t own PCs. Just phones. A bunch of working class kids are without access to a PC. Of course they’re going to be worse at it than we were. How are they supposed to learn?

It’s not like we did it because we wanted to show off our useful skills on the job market, lol.

Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though? I just looked it up for the supermarkets in my area, so I’m sure I’m not spouting bullshit.

Genuine question, what bread did you look at?

There are varieties with sugar, but it’s not the norm. This is definitely much more typical for other countries (not just the US).

I didn’t think you could make the job of a paramedic even more exciting than it already is, but here we are.

Nobody “dresscoded” me at home. As soon as I was old enough to pick my own clothing, I could. What skirts or jeans or dresses I wore was my choice completely. My school also didn’t care much.

Blew my mind when I realized how many other girls had to sneak out with their clothes because the parents had a rule against tight jeans or whatever.

I still think my parents were right with this one. The kids with the strictest rules were always those with the craziest outfits. Can’t blame them, I’d have done the same.

When I first read this one, I thought it sounded crazy. Then I realized I know what you mean and am able to do it.

Maybe it’s normal and it’s just the description that doesnt click with people? Anyone in the comments who thinks they can’t do it?

I think point three is pretty “normal”. A lot of People eat cake, pudding and ice cream with smaller cutlery.

Never seen that before. Did you un- and reinstall the app at some point?

When he was three, on a summer day, my little brother climbed the stairs of our house and ran up to me and the neighbors kid.

He had some medical issues as a baby, so most of his toddler and early childhood years, he looked rather frail and bony. Great kid, but not really what you’d describe as cute. Not on this day though.

He ran up to me all smiley faced and star-eyed and yelled my name. You know, like in the movies. I remember how the neighbors kid just quietly sighed “cute” right next to me. I was so damn proud.

I wish it was something more sophisticated like seeing his health or whatever. All I can say is that I was really fucking proud of how incredibly cute my little brother was, while he wobbled into my arms.

I…think you should reinstall the app? Unless it’s a joke, that sounds weird.

My parents wouldn’t even have the fucking space to let me stay.

And then we have people like musk, who grew up with a golden spoon and view those on social security as parasites.

You doubt that people put their kids on the street when they come out as gay? Lol.
