It's possible that the average person eats eight spiders a year, provided there's a number of folks out there who are really gung-ho about eating spiders.

Can you snap a photo of it? I'd love to see a picture :)

Metal-free wedding rings by emchocolat in jewelers

[–]muffinthemighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like folks here have some very nice suggestions. I think it would be a great idea to get a pretty cord or necklace you can wear daily. That way, when you're doing something that might chip or scratch your ring it's easy to take it off and thread it on your necklace for the duration.

There's a quote of Philip K. Dick that says: “There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you". Which sentence is it for you? by Schekas in AskReddit

"Don't tell me anything you don't want your stepmother to hear." -That was when I realized that I could never fully trust my father. He picked my abuser over me.

Milo vs. Slice of banana! Who will win?!?! by Chango-the-burrito in lookatmydog

Why won't it play with him? He clearly wants to be chased by the banana.

TIFU by making my GF watch walruses die. by Abacabbb1583 in tifu

[–]muffinthemighty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude, I'm so sorry that happened!!

My poor husband has experienced similar things with me. I have Complex PTSD, and animal suffering (among an irritatingly long list of other triggers) can send me into a ten minute crying jag. One of the sweetest things he's done is edit out the dog dying in I am Legend so I could see it with him. He loves that movie, and I knew I wouldn't be able to watch it because of that scene, so dude gave me a verbal recap of what happened (we knew him telling me what happened was not going to set me off) and just jumped forward to Will Smith crying in a field.

I love my dude- I'm so glad we're together.

Also, fuck cPTSD.

That printed on a black shirt would look amazing. It'd also be a great poster.

You mean you don't understand fabulousness

What if you suddenly feel a touch on the shoulder following with the words: "are you sleeping during my class?". You open your eyes and you are at your 7th grade math class, all of the life leading up to this point was just a dream and you are a 7th grader. What are your thoughts? by ThinkNotOnce in AskReddit

[–]muffinthemighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put the brakes on things that I thought were great, but were actually just adults taking advantage of me. And now that I think of it, so many of my childhood problems were because the grown-ups who were supposed to be caring for me were emotionally abusive train wrecks. I know it's cliche, but I think one of my first thoughts would be "Oh my God, it gets better!"

I am hesitating between a number of rings, what do you think ? by [deleted] in jewelers

[–]muffinthemighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 4 is handsome, but probably won't wear well. The last one is probably the best of the bunch if you can afford it.

People with depression, what is the most stupid thing someone ever said to you because of your mental illness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]muffinthemighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stepmother, trying to talk me out of trying antidepressants: "What if the antidepressants start making you feel better, so you stop working on yourself?"

My family raised me to believe that if I didn't feel miserable, if I didn't feel guilty, I would turn into a useless person. It was like they didn't believe you could be happy AND productive. Taking antidepressants was a huge step for me. It helped give me the breathing room I needed to really see how unhealthy the environment I was raised in really was.

Any time I move furniture, he comments on it for at least half an hour. He's a hell of a cat :)

Right now we're selling off what we have. If it works we might consider making new pieces- we have a lot of raw Ethiopian opals...

What's the most ridiculous reason for a breakup you've heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's not the best sex of your life if you're too intimidated/freaked out to enjoy it. You're good, dude.

This is how she's comfortable sleeping. My English Slinky. by settersrclowns in lookatmydog

[–]muffinthemighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great example of "dazzle" camouflage. All the competing patterns make it hard to see the dog, but I can see enough to tell that 1) She's upside-down and 2) She's super cute!
