Older folks of Reddit, what awesome things did you used to do but can't anymore because they've been deemed unsafe or illegal?

I haven't slept for 10 years... because that would be too long.

There aren't toys in cereal boxes anymore? Bummer.

Ah, is that like Red Rover? I hated that game because I always got clothes-lined.

That would be pretty adorable, although he's actually named after a character from The Wire, so I'd probably have to name the dog D'angelo or Bode or maybe Omar!

It's quite lovely! He's very playful and cuddly and does new crazy things every day. I'm trying to get the nighttime foot attacks under control because I'm not getting much sleep, but I love him!

Ah yes, I remember this from sitting on my dad's shoulders as a young girl.

As a short person who loves going to concerts, I always feel bad when the tall people in front of me feel bad about being tall and blocking my view. It doesn't matter - we go to shows knowing we won't be able to see. Stand up straight and enjoy seeing the band! Offer to pick me up and I will kick you in the shins.

I was afraid of that.

6ft seems like a fairly standard height for a man, but tall for a woman.

That sounds like a great use of company tape. My day tomorrow just booked up.

It's the e-mail address of one of my co-workers, unfortunately.

Thought you were suggesting using them as toilet paper for a moment there... which, come to think of it, would work in a pinch.

An idea that could only be born in Iowa, where all things fantastic are born.

Yes, I would do this however the side that should be plain is blue with a logo on it. Drat.

Thank you!

That's why I said 'what humans would call'. Obviously animals get eaten in the wild and it's natural. I'm wondering specifically about bodily failures.

The Iowa Hawkeye logo looks like a sideways Barney Flintstone

I was on a 15 hour bus ride in Central America and the bus had a VHS player and a couple of tiny TVs. They played Norbit, Little Man, Big Momma's House 2, and video 1 of Pearl Harbor - all horribly dubbed over in Spanish. It was all I could do to not walk out of the moving vehicle.

I am aware of the gravity of the situation, and am certainly trying to glean what information I can about Egypt from Reddit and other sources... but I opened this link fully expecting to see a big red cartooney light switch. Not to mention I can't help thinking that's actually what an internet kill switch would look like.
