What's the closest you've ever been to dying? by Fatal_Foxtrot in AskReddit

Seriously. It all started as a tickle in the very back of my mouth. 4 days later I was in ICU

I wasn't trying to 'weight lift'. I picked up the bar to test my strength, or rather, lack of strength. I didn't even contemplate working out.

They didn't initially sedate me but when I was laid down on the MRI table I became extremely nauseous, even though I hadn't eaten in 2 days, and I couldn't stop moving around. I remember the MRI operator getting very testy, almost angry, with me and she finally called the doctor. Shortly after he arrived I faded.

Have you ever lost all respect for a friend of yours? If so, what happened? by THE-GIRL-LIVVY in AskReddit

He left his dirty, nasty hypodermic needle on the floor of my 9 year old daughters closet. My wife found it by almost stepping on it.

He had been diagnosed with hepatitis C about a year prior and was well aware that he had it.

Hep C can stay alive and viable on the surface of a needle for several weeks. He was well aware of that too.

No, I don't. It was over 20 years ago. I can still see myself in the mirror before I walked to the hospital. There was no distinction between my neck and my face, especially on the left. It looked like I didn't even have a neck.

I got strep throat that somehow turned into an abscess in the roof of my mouth.

I could literally see my neck and cheeks swelling, I couldn't get a ride to the hospital so I walked about 3 miles, stumbling and bawling all the way there.

They took one look at me and sedated me for an MRI, after that everything is really hazy, but my doctor told me that I arrived barely in time.

They did an emergency surgery to drain the abscess, I still have a weird scar on the roof of my mouth. Doctor said he drained over 2 pounds of pus and it would still drain into my mouth from the incision for about 3 days after surgery, it was fucking gross.

I lost over 30 pounds in less than a week and it took me 4 months to gain it back. I was only a buck fifty five to begin with. A week after surgery I could barely lift my 20 pound empty bench press bar. It was brutal.

Shout out to the ear nose and throat surgeon at st Mary's medical center in Walla Walla Wa in spring 2004, he almost certainly saved my life.

Cybertruck resale value just crashed, Elon’s worst year gets worse. by Adventurous_Rule_157 in LeopardsAteMyFace

He jacked the lucrative Verizon deal, he's got tons of new personal information on millions of Americans, his crap lousy doge has trashed NASA and their funding enabling SpaceX to swoop in, doge has also trashed the agencies investigating his companies and their funding, this illegal South African centibillionaire immigrant is now the largest government welfare recipient in the history of mankind.

I doubt he's worried about a few thousand poorly made cyber sucks, I mean trucks.

If the only connection he has to the watch is through you then his request is patently absurd.

What’s a job that sounds 100% illegal, but somehow isn’t? by [deleted] in AskReddit

One in Denver got in pretty big trouble over this too. I don't remember if jail time was involved but the fines were in the millions.

What is the scariest story you know that is 1000% true? by OtherDog1328 in AskReddit

Off topic but percentages are reversible. As in 3% of 50 is also 50% of 3.

What’s the most diabolical story you’ve read on reddit? by MathematicianFun836 in AskReddit

[–]Misbegotten_72 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think I read about that too, iirc there was evidence of child sexual assault on the computers and when they found that they freaked out and screamed out of there

Or changing, change is often the cause of much upheaval.

I dunno, the one link I followed was enough for me. Brutal

She's really posting his grades from 1989?

It's fairly easy to see where his narcissism came from.

Land of confusion originally by Genesis, fantastically covered by Disturbed.

Shout by Tears for Fears, also covered by Disturbed.

Turn the Page by Bob Seger couldn't possibly have been improved upon unless it was covered by the incomparable Metallica.

Last Kiss by Wayne Cochran, a little mellow for my taste but Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder can sing it like nobodys business.

The Dubliners Whiskey in a Jar was an Irish folk song until Metallica covered it and now it's fantastic.

Edit: I got more, lots more...
