Never have I ever been stung by a bee, wasp or hornet. I’m not scared of bees either, ill walk right up to them and check em out. I’ve grabbed bees and pulled them out of water, I’ve let them trot all over me and I don’t mind, neither do they.
Never have I ever eaten lobster
Never have I ever bought a new smartphone, PC, or laptop.
Never have I ever been apart of a high school scandal.
Never have I ever had Chick-fil-A
Never have I ever read a single book or watched a single movie of the Harry Potter series.
Reminds me of this exchange between Leslie and Ann from Parks and Rec.
Hey that’s me too. I’m surprised to see that many upvotes …
More upvotes should mean that most people in fact have seen the movies or read the books
Ah yes true, there is a full convo in this thread about understanding what upvotes mean in this situation, I’m still confused 🤔
Me neither. Other millennials look at me like I have two heads.
Yeah. My partner later said it was almost a deal breaker when I first told her.
I have never drank alcohol, despite persuasion from friends. I consider it unhealthy. Chemically, it’s a poison, and a “hangover” is the process of removing the poison.
You are very right in every aspect of this. It’s a poison, and it kills hundreds of thousands every year.
I definitely wouldn’t suggest that people need to run out with friends and drink copious amounts of alcohol. A night at the bar can be fun, but keeping that as an activity that a friend group commits to repeatedly isn’t a healthy setting (for instance alcoholism effects 10% of the population).
That being said, there are a lot of constructive uses with alcoholic beverages such as cooking and really unique flavor profiles. Some of the mixtures that are 90%+ non-alcoholic have interesting tastes that you just can’t recreate without the alcohol changing subtle differences in what’s present. Definitely respect your choice not to drink though, just throwing this out there as a healthier alternative than binge drinking for those who do want to try.
One semi-accidental food discovery I made is when you are sauteing onions and mushrooms, put a dash of soy (or even better liquid aminos) and then when they are almost done throw about a shot of red wine in and simmer it out. The combo brings out so much flavor that it’s almost overpoweringly good!
Some alcohol cooks off when used this way, but not all. Be cautious when cooking for others to mention this so non-drinkers can make an informed choice.
It can be a delicious addition though: alcohol dissolves flavor and aromatic compounds that water and fat cannot, so you get a lot of unique flavors especially from barrel-aged drinks like whisky and wine.
Hangover is mostly dehydration.
I’ve heard that hangover comes from the fact that most alcohols have two kinds of alcohol in them and your body processes one very quickly and one somewhat slower, so The hangover comes from the slower alcohol.
That being said, being well hydrated can help your body flush out the slower alcohol faster and prevent or reduce hangovers
If your drink has more than one type of alcohol in it, you need to go to the ER. Methanol is horribly poisonous, and it is not a pleasant death.
You are correct. I got the terminology wrong, there’s alcohol and then there’s acetaldehyde, which is a breakdown molecule of the alcohol.
Too much acetaldehyde can intensify the effects of a hangover and it takes longer to flush it out.
Drinking more water can help dilute the acetaldehyde or improve your body’s ability to flush it out, but there is no singular hangover cure other than to not drink so much that you get a hangover.
It is unhealthy but it makes you relax and have fun if not drinking too much. Also it makes people horny which is a plus sometimes.
I also don’t drink more than a few beers every few months, but if I lived in a warm country, I probably would. It’s very tasty when it’s hot.
oh wow, I’m usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I’m not interested in a drink because I’m just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I’m tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).
Sure you have tried a cold beer when it’s hot? That bitter cold taste is amazing when it’s hot and cools me down for sure. I wouldn’t have any sugary drinks when it’s hot though, just makes me thirsty.
I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I’m working all day and sweating my ass off though I’ll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.
Never have I ever attended a middle or high school
Homeschooled or just not educated?
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade except for 4 months of first grade.
Funnily enough I have a masters degree and work in a public school
Maybe that’s bc you’re just not as traumatized by them as the rest of us.
Actually just a primary schooler /j
Story time? Seems so crazy
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade with the exception of 4 months of public school in first grade.
Same here, it would be impossible since middle schools don’t exist where I’m from
Yeah I wasn’t sure how to word it because I know that different places have different naming mechanisms. But from 6-18 years old I was homeschooled. There was a co-op or two where I technically did classes with others, and I did a year of Cyber school before it was cool but most of my education came from me self-teaching from textbooks and “curriculum”.
I’ll be flabbergasted if thats true. Need story plz
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade with the exception of 4 months of public school in first grade.
Hey same! Nothing lower than that either 🙃
I was homeschooled from first grade with the exception of 4 months in public school for first grade
Never have I ever watched/read anything relating to Lord of the Rings.
Oh yeah well how did you spell it?
I was going to post this never have I ever. I plan on watching it eventually one day. It was one of those movies that got mega popular before I learned about it. I think seeing it everywhere and seeing all the memes makes me care less about seeing it. I
I just don’t have any motivation to watch it now. There is so much streaming content to watch. I’ll get to LotR when I get there.
I haven’t yet, but planning to
deleted by creator
My brain always hurts when playing never have I ever, something about the wording just inherently confuses me every time. The upvote/downvote addition makes it worse hahaNever have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o
Never have I ever drank coffee
I’m throwing the bullshit flag on this one. Never curious? Never saw a frappuccino and tried it? Never just experimentally had a sip out of curiosity? I’m not buying that.
Growing up I watched my mom drink cup after cup and then let her anxiety run rampant. Told myself I wasnt gonna touch it. I don’t even find the smell appealing.
My greatest joy in life is learning new things. I have never, ever had coffee. I’ve never been interested. Just simply never cared for it.
Maybe one day I will, but it hasn’t happened yet
Surprised by number of upvotes. Would’ve thought more people drink coffee than read Harry Potter
have you ever eaten an egg?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
do they not have eggs?
Do you like Gladiator movies?
Yes, although not for a long time
I’ve tried to drink coffee a couple times. I never was successful at it. My body just hates something in coffee and it just comes right back up before even hitting my stomach. So, I guess it’s gone down my esophagus, but never further than that.
You aren’t missing anything.
I have never ridden a horse.
Same, I want to though
Never learned to ride a bicycle.
Upvoted! I learned how pretty young, but I have a few friends who never did and they have told me that the main thing holding them back as adults is the fear of falling down. Is it the same for you?
Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.
So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.
My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, “how can you drive a car if you can’t ride a bike?” Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: “a car has 4 tires and is stable.” I was seven years old.
Not who you asked, but the main thing holding me back is that I don’t know how to kick off and don’t know how to balance. I’m surprised how many people just kinda know how to do it
Never have I ever said lol.
As a Dutch guy this one is auto fail as lol means ‘fun’ so we use it a lot unironically
I think it that case it must be within english context
In that case: lol
What about right now?
I have said the word roflmao with my mouth hole.
Do doo do-do-do… Roflmao
Never have I attended a high school prom, dance, or graduation
Dang it. I had it to the very end.
No prom no dances but I did graduate and attend my graduation.
I was the only one that graduated that year because I went to a small school and I worked ahead and so technically I was valedictorian and also technically every party I go to is a reunion party for my graduating class.
Prom: no. Graduation: no (graduated early, didn’t walk in the summer even tho I could)…but lotsa regular dances.
I’m sure these are just things from the US. The only reason I know what a prom is is because of TV. Before that I only ever heard ‘prom’ as an abbreviation for promenade
Are these a normal things in the US or just a movie thing? Because we didn’t have that
What country did you go to school in?
