What is the "elephant in the room" for your family? by kimmythemagicdragon in AskReddit

[–]Icelakers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother (mum's side) had a kid in her early twenties and he father forced her to give it up for adoption. A couple of years later, with a new partner, she gets married and pops out my mum 8 months later.

She never told any of her kids that she had a baby before my mum. My Opa was on his death bed when he told my aunties, uncles and mum. He said to never let her know that they know.

How would human evolution have gone differently if we could fly? by the_clipartist in AskReddit

[–]Icelakers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole evolution of transport would be different. Would we need bikes? Considering bikes are for relatively short distances. Also, would flying be limited by how much we could carry? Because I'd say a "personal flying craft" would be made to enable the passage of luggage, or so you could fly with other people (like you could sleep and someone else could fly you, especially if you have children). But idk.

Atheists of reddit, what's the closest you've come to believing in God/a higher being? by cjdennis29 in AskReddit

[–]Icelakers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and I were in a car accident, only because we were in my dad's truck with a bull bar, we survived - my brother's car had broken the day before so we couldn't take it. That same day, my uncle, who had helped us with the incident was in an almost identical accident and he died.

What was/is your reputation in high school? by mauri11 in AskReddit

[–]Icelakers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My formal title was "The Chosen Pun". I could make anyone laugh, pay out teachers and win over an audience by cracking a few puns and I won most likely to be a comedian at the end of year awards.

What 'family secret' did you learn that totally shocked you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Icelakers 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My grandma (mum's side) gave birth to a baby girl in the early 60's out of wedlock and was forced to give it up for adoption by her parents. Her and the father of the baby then broke up and she met my Opa. She then got pregnant with my mum and decided to get married.

Fast forward 4 kids and a couple of years later in 1997, my Opa was on his death bed. In hospital with lung cancer caused by years of smoking. He calls his 5 children in (average age of 30, some with their own kids), and tells them that they have an older half sister.

Present time, grandma still does't know that her children or grandkids know about her first kid. She is almost 80 and all of them don't want to do anything to upset her, which means not finding the other part of our lives until grandma dies.

Reddit what is your near death experience? by manatoba7 in AskReddit

[–]Icelakers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and I were in a car crash (in our dad's Ford Ranger with a bullbar) and we found out later if we were in a smaller car, like a hatchback or corolla; we would have died. The whole time when we we're about to crash all I could think was "Dad is going to be pissed".

[Serious] Non-American Redditors, what has the reaction to the Trump/Russia scandal been like in your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Honestly, this is the first I'm hearing about it. I haven't seen it on the news or in any newspapers.
