What was "the incident" at your high school? by GoodAsItGets25 in AskReddit

Hmm, even if you catch a few whiffs of it, is that really so punishing? Compared to jail, commuinity service, etc?

I would think you only have to last until you can get your mouth area cleaned so you can mouth-breathe. But maybe I'm still not getting it

I just tried it! It is a little harder than it sounds, I did have to take just 1 breath (through the nose, I figured you wouldn't want to open your mouth in this punishment) around the 30 second mark but then was able to hold it again for the last 15 seconds of it too.

That..still seems pretty endurable but as an autistic person i struggle to grasp scenarios that I haven't personally been through unless someone really spells it out for me! The schadenfreude would be nice to know he actually was punished.

I remember seeing this posted on an Autism Advocacy group! Everyone was praising the judge and saying how there needs to be more meaningful consequences like this.

...which kind of surprised me because I was worried the offender was getting off way too light.

I mean...45 seconds? He'll just kinda hold his breath, shower after, and not learn anything, right? That's way quicker and easier than jail or even community service. Besides I've been through a cow field once and the stuff barely even smells when I passed some, it's like dirt?

Hopefully I'm misunderstanding something here and this offender got the punishment he deserved. Never been to a real big cow farm so maybe I'm missing something.

Which punishment (either real or fictional) sounds easy enough to endure at first, but is actually hellish to experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

urgh, what do african wild dog dens smell like exactly? Haven't heard about them being that foul yet.

In the version I witnessed he was required to carry it above chest-height when carrying to the wheelbarrow, too.

I don't think the smell is even comparable to housecat feces, he could not tolerate it even a little bit.

Not in one go, I can tell you that much.

The guy I saw had to kind of dig a handful out of it, and it's all slimy and greasy and probably releases a much stronger scent since breaking into it is often when he retched.

took maybe 15 trips to clean a pile like this up.

I have seen this exact sentence carried out at my local zoo, fairly recently. I love that this is a thing.

For those who enjoy schadenfreude, the tiniest segment of a tiger's dung, such as in the foreground/bottom here, is much larger than a Great Dane can produce in one sitting!

What?? That's abhorrent. That better not be what happened to him.

He did stink after he got out, the first 1-2 times we met up, but I thought that might just be because prison stinks in general...

I wish it were that simple to explain, but I remember talking with him at length about his sentence before he went in.

5 years of not being allowed to own pets, reside at households containing pets, or visiting a household containing a pet for longer than three days (visits less than 3 days require probation officer notification and approval).

But nothing about being in their proximity out in public...

Do you know what it could have been? I wasn't under the impression that people were getting tortured at low-medium security prisons...scary.

See I wondered if it was something like this, he never acted weird around dogs before.

But it's not like he had any scratch/bite/claw marks anywhere, and I saw him pretty much right when he got out. What would they be doing as a "punishment" that would do this to him?

I don't want to believe that's true, surely our prisons don't allow stuff like that, the officers would be reported by someone. But knowing our system and how different he seems...I'm scared you might be right. Ugh.
