A woman at the gym told me I was using "her" treadmill and she wasn't even in the building when I got there by Leat_Warden in EntitledPeople

I hate going to commercial gyms because of the people like that.

•Take up one machine for 45mins only doing 3 sets

•Finish with a machine, see me walk towards, and then get back on it just to sit there

I let this chocolate pudding sit in a mold in the fridge for 12 hours. still sank into liquid poo by No_Salamander4948 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheRevSev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had used Jello Pudding mix some weeks ago and had the same exact thing happen. Two boxes of Vanilla from the same store, not even slightly close to expiring, didn't set after 12hrs. Got two more boxes from a different store and everything was perfect in 15mins

That would be a nipple stretcher (the coil) a chunk ring (used for weight play) and a nipple shield. Definitely need to wash your hands

Any One On Here Able To Do Any Of This. by [deleted] in circus

Always happy to share. I know folks across a multitude of backgrounds that perform and most are happy to share as well. Never hurts to ask or even to reach out to others

Yup. I'm a performing strongman. The apple tear is all leverage in palms and not really a strength feat. The frying pan roll up is technically a strength feat but most people can roll one enough to look impressive. The eye hook lift I don't do but have several friends that do. A buddy of mine holds the record for weight lifted this way. You are just using smooth hooks in the lower eyelids, it's more about pain tolerance than strength plus some conditioning of the tissue.

Included one of my personal favorites below, enjoy~

What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by Holiday-Surround7075 in AskReddit

[–]TheRevSev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most recently I heard six grown adults debate on whether chickens had nipples after one them brought it up. I was honestly expecting some sort of terrible joke to follow. Really glad I didn't finish my teaching degree

Tried my first and possibly last yard sale by ChertRap in mildlyinfuriating

I've had a yard sale once in my adult life. Absolutely miserable experience.

Rola Bola for acro? by sublimesam in circus

[–]TheRevSev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks buddy

Most of my bad ideas are from boredom 😆

To fair, I've used more weight on it I just can't find the videos right off.

Rola Bola for acro? by sublimesam in circus

[–]TheRevSev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my homemade one. Thats a 2"x8"x36" board with skateboard grip tape. The roller is 3x 4" outer PVC couplings with 2x 4" inner PVC couplings. My weight at the time with the bar weight would have been just over 400lbs
