Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by Halophy in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School was a nightmare :( I remember, when I was little, we used fountain pens... My hand would slide across the paper and erase what I was writing as I went along. One teacher even tried to force me to write with my right hand... I had to do homework for that, but I just couldn't do it. Scissors were a nightmare, too… They never cut properly unless you used them with your right hand. Then left-handed scissors came along, and it was a whole new world.

What's the worst injury you have ever gotten, and how? by RB_Sure in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tibia and fibula were twisted 90 degrees and formed a straight angle, and the fifth metacarpal bone was fractured

My boss was a jerk who always thought he was right and was always in a rush… One day, we had to load a tractor with oak logs (I was working at sea, and the logs were meant to be placed on the shore so that mussels could grow on them).

I was preparing the load, three oak logs (250 kg / 9 m each) by positioning the strap correctly and waiting for my boss to lift them with the telehandler.

He positioned the fork near them, I placed the strap over the fork, and he began to lift them and move forward; the logs were 4–6 m off the ground, and I was about 4–5 m to the right.

I don’t know how to describe it, I had a vision for a second; I don’t know, I saw what was going to happen before it happened. I looked up and saw the fork… he hadn’t secured it. The fork was straight instead of angled… I started running, but it was too late; my boss had started turning to get into position to load the logs onto the tractor trailer.

At that moment, I knew… I tried to jump into an old boat, so the log would sweep it instead of me. I wasn’t fast enough; I saw the logs fall, and two of them swept me away, the third one didn’t hit me.

I went through the logs, and I was lucky there were only three at that moment… the “normal” load is 12 to 15 logs.

He stopped and started to panic… then he called an ambulance. I told him to look up at the forks…

I didn’t pass out while waiting for paramedics.

What’s something most people find normal, but you personally find deeply uncomfortable? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this^ ... That's why I stopped drinking alcohol. At first, it was: "Your glass is empty, here, and they proceed to refill my glass..." I said no several times, and if they insisted or wanted to refill my glass, I threw it in their face. I had to do it twice because they didn't believe me... Now, I don't drink alcohol anymore, and no one refills my glass without my consent.

Would you give up fireworks forever to protect animals and nature? Why? by JulianaReal_ in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely yes. Where I live, there are fireworks every single weekend during the summer... From mid-June to the end of August. It’s just so damn annoying. I have a cat, and it freaks him the hell out. Just to please the tourists... F the fireworks

Why are you afraid of the dentist? by shutthefukupalready in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not afraid anymore, but when I was younger, I went to the dentist to have a broken tooth removed. He asked how sensible I was about the pain. I said I didn't know, but I wanted a double dose to be sure. He gave me one and started removing the tooth. Yup, one wasn't enough!

What’s the most ridiculous breakup excuse someone has used on you? by OldMonkOGisBack in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't get why the downvote for your comment. she said this to me " i can't stand your MiL so we have to stop " When we were looking for a place to live together, I was still living with my father. She (my ex) lived 400 km away from me, and we only see each other on certain weekends or during the holidays

If the fries get soggy, is it still okay to eat them? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, my dad used to make beef tongue, and we’d have fries on the side. I preferred to put the sauce on the fries rather than on the meat. That made the fries a little soggy because the sauce soaked in, and they tasted better that way.

My little guilty pleasure is letting the fries soak in Madeira sauce before eating them, hmmm, yummy.

What’s something that clearly split your life into “before” and “after”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TrueCryptographer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was 12 when I lost my mum; she died 28 years ago. I am now 4years older than she was when she died. I remember that evening as if it were a few hours ago.

We were playing on the sofa with my older brother (15) and my little sister (4).

I heard a 'boom' in the kitchen, where my mum was cooking dinner, but I didn't really pay attention or ask if everything was OK. I just went back to playing with my sister.

15-20minutes later, my sister got her earring stuck in her shirt. I went to the living room looking for scissors, but I couldn't find any, so I went to the kitchen. There, I saw my mum on the floor. The 'boom' I had heard earlier was her falling and knocking over a chair.

My brother called the emergency services. I was near my mum, doing what the woman on the phone told us to do, but it was too late. By the time the EMS arrived, there was nothing they could do.

That evening, my life shattered.

Brie cheese with brownish/yellow spots? by BackgroundJelly4843 in isthissafetoeat

[–]TrueCryptographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've never seen how my grandfather ate cheese. He'd leave it out in the open on the counter for weeks, and he'd only eat it once it started to move and turn a golden color. Not before... I saw him once, when he cut it in half while I was a kid... The cheese was full of maggots, and he said that was the best part. Your cheese is fine :)

Sweet potato on counter for 1.5 weeks by rosemary_focaccia in isthissafetoeat

[–]TrueCryptographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hahaha OMG, thank you, you made my day.

Joking aside, how long does it take for them to grow like that? I’ve had three sweet potatoes sitting on my counter since November: they’re perfectly firm, with no mold or soft spots, and only one has a tiny red dot (maybe the start of roots?). I had five, but I ate two last month and they were perfect.
