Suicides run in families which is kind of scary. They can be "contagious" in a manner of speaking.

Not many Americans are keen on octopus. I like it but I've also had fugu and uni and eel and a lot of "exotic" cuisine

I was out of college when I figured out you were supposed to add things to Ramen and not just eat flash fried noodles and salt broth.

Reply to comment by Pfeffer_Prinz in TIL of Complex PTSD, which arises from prolonged, inescapable trauma (like child abuse/neglect, sex trafficking, or solitary confinement). It's hard to spot & treat, and can last a lifetime. Victims have a diminished sense of self, and issues with trust, boundaries, cognition, motor skills, & more. by Pfeffer_Prinz
There was a long time when I wondered if I had ptsd. What gave it away for me was when I read the symptom "exaggerated startle response". If you sneak up on me and scare me I get like unreasonably upset. I immediately go into fight or flight. The same thing happens with loud sudden noises. Loud motorcycles on the road make me irate because of the noise.

FDR was banging his secretary so who cares if she was joining the mile high club?

Reply to TIL that roosters don’t have a penis. They pump their sperm into females using a 'cloacal kiss' by [deleted]
Is that why they look so weird doing it? We had chickens as kids and the rooster looked like he was just squatting on top of the hens back.

Reply to TIL - Contrary of what everybody thinks, if you park your car at a dark spot at night, the chances of theft are smaller, because thieves don't like to use lights. by JosZo
Today you learned a dangerous lie that is going to get you and everyone you tell hurt. Stay in WELL LIT, WELL POPULATED areas to avoid being the victim of a crime.

Doesn't always need something like that. The grief can be infectious
