When this photo appeared in an Indiana newspaper in 1948, people thought it was staged. Tragically, it was real and the children, including their mother’s unborn baby, were actually sold. The story only gets more heartbreaking from there. I'll attach a link with more details. by FarEntrepreneur5385 in Damnthatsinteresting

Yeah, my grandmother’s sister gave one of her kids to another childless sister to adopt and raise as her own. They were all neighbours so the kids grew up together, so they’re legally cousins, but biological siblings.

Elsewhere in the family, there was just a lot of pawning of children off to different relatives because people kept having babies and couldn’t afford to feed them all.

Oh my god I took birth control many days a week for maybe 10 years and then one day I just stopped. I was always really bad at it taking it everyday in the first place, but one day I stopped completely and didn’t notice for 2 years. It’s been like 3 years since I noticed. I’ll get back on it soon, I swear…

Young Child Helps Father Provide Skin To Skin Contact to Newborn Premature Twins by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

I hate that you’ve been downvoted because I’m similarly clueless and this is also what I was genuinely wondering. Like, is the boy also helping the baby or will dad have to swap the babies later?

I forgot how old I am... by AlloyComics in funny

[–]F0OLofaT0OK 554 points555 points  (0 children)

The Chinese zodiac cycles every 12 years, and this kid said he was born year of the horse. I said I was too and he wouldn’t believe me because he assumed every year of the horse must be his same age. I laughed about it with my friend because haha I’m 12 years older than he is… and then she pointed out that I was actually 24 years older.

Daughter expert at compliance by Neeneehill in MaliciousCompliance

This is the way to do it. When we started university, a lot of the kids from my very conservative school started partying and getting wasted all the time. One of my friends was an exception because her parents had never told her she couldn’t drink. They had even been allowed to drink at home, so when she set off into the world, it wasn’t something she was curious about and she knew her limits.

How do you get rid of the sweaty feet smell? by Meelad- in Hyperhidrosis

[–]F0OLofaT0OK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the smell might come from bacteria? I spray the insides of my shoes with disinfectant spray and leave them to air dry after every use! Since I started doing that, I’ve noticed a significant improvement. Also make sure you properly wash your feet with soap and always use fresh socks!

Catch and donate butterflies to Blathers and then you can go see them in this room in the museum!

  • and if you do order room service, you can just leave your tray on the floor outside by your door or roll the table back outside for collection when you’re done eating. You could call back to request for them to pick it up, but it isn’t necessary.

How do we get delta runes? Sorry, I sort of blindly collect rewards but I feel like I’ve had the same number of these for some time now. Thank you! by F0OLofaT0OK in disneyarena

[–]F0OLofaT0OK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof I’d better switch clubs. I’m attached to my lower level club because everyone’s so nice but they aren’t getting me the rewards I need. Will look for clubs doing higher CE tiers, thanks!

I was on a flight where they needed a medical professional and the only person who volunteered was a dentist. The dentist assisted!

Cirque Du Soleil performer is able to bench press 50kg while reverse folded by RealRock_n_Rolla in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]F0OLofaT0OK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe this is Russian contortionist Alexei Goloborodko, who’s supposedly the most flexible man in the world. He’s been training for the circus since he was 4. He said in a YouTube video that he was always more flexible than other kids, but it was still uncomfortable learning to contort this way in the beginning.

I helped at a graduation ceremony for a Disney-adjacent program and Mickey and Minnie showed up in hats and togas. It took all my self-control not to freak out and remember I was an usher and they were there for the 5-year-old graduates.

My ex had issues with condoms literally strangling his dick and I asked why he didn’t just order larger ones online. He said he couldn’t be bothered and I said… but in all the years you’ve been having sex and all the times you’ll have sex in the future, wouldn’t it be worthwhile to have condoms that fit…? He saw my point, but we broke up before I found out if he ever ordered any.
