  • The tram I was on with my dad and little sister struck a woman, she had an umbrella open so she didn’t see the tram (it was a sunny summer day). It cracked her head open and I’ll never forget that sound. The driver panicked and only opened the front door of the tram, right where the woman was laying on the ground, so we were forced to walk out of the tram and jump over the pool of blood gushing from her head. My dad tried to make us not look but I saw the hole in her head, and her brain. I was 10 and my sister 8.
    She died on the way to the hospital.
    And I just realised I now live in the apartment building right by the tram tracks where it happened, haven’t thought about that memory for a long time.




  • Have so many stories like this. One from high-school that I thought of immediately:

    Had a girl in my class who was very white trash, she had a g-string with a butterfly at the top of the T section at the back and got the task of giving out papers to everyone else. When she went to the front to put down the left over ones she bent down and we all saw that butterfly. Me, being a very introvert and awkward kid normally, for some reason blurted out “oh hello Mrs. Butterfly, nice to see you”. She had a 5 second meltdown and turned bright red before running out of the classroom. Right after that class ended as we were walking out into the corridor she was waiting by the door, as soon as I went out she kicked me, with her pointy high heels, right between my legs. She hit my taint and I blacked out from the pain, had never felt such soul crushing direct pain before. Nothing else happened, it’s like we just agreed that we are on good terms again and everything continued as normal after that. Not that we were friends before, but we did have some banter and some connection through other friends in the class. Then we made out a couple of years later during a party right before we graduated, haven’t seen her since then.




  • I’ve had that issue in several ways. Of course what you said, had an extension cord with a switch below my desk and I kept accidentally hitting that switch in the same way, lived in an apartment some years ago that had some shitty electrical work done by the previous tenant and if I had enough lamps on while my computer and screen where on and I tried to plug in my phone or turn the TV on the circuit popped, and most recently I’ve been playing games via cloud streaming (Shadow) and my Ethernet cable has lost the security tab thingy on both ends and I keep accidentally moving other cables so they touch the Ethernet cable and it falls out. Most of the time I can just put it back in an reconnect to the cloud computer but sometimes it just refuses to do that so the cloud computer shuts down before I’m able to get it working. Lost several hours of progress in various games throughout the past couple of years, but I never buy anything new unless it’s absolutely needed so I just live with and accept it '^^



  • User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.

    Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.

    User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.

    Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.

    User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.

    Washing machine AI: I’m sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.

    User: you added more fabric softener…

    I have never done this, and I’ve been on long term sick leave for 15 years due to my executive disfunction/action paralysis. I have gone months without changing bedclothes but not once taken them off without having clean ones to put on at the same time. I’m pretty sure this is a problem from something else and not what’s stated.



  • Used to up until my early 20s, I very rarely buy plain white bread now and it’s not that common in stores here (Sweden). Obviously there’s two or three brands of basic white toast bread and some in store fresh white bread but we have tons of choices with so many different ingredients, and never any weird additives or bread that is as much bread as american cheese is cheese (seen those kinds abroad and from images and videos from the US).

    My current two favourites are a wholegrain durum wheat sourdough with flaxseeds and sea salt and the other is a rye sourdough with wort, barley malt and a small amount of dark treacle (similar to molasses in taste). But I often try new kinds, even the smaller food stores here have like 30 different breads (not including stuff like burger and hot dog buns etc.)
