Funny/weird things people told you when you came out!

I only realized I was bi a few weeks ago. For the first three weeks, without fail, whenever I came out to someone the reaction was, "you're coming out? you didn't know? I've known for ages"

When someone was finally surprised, it was strangely satisfying.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. It was a new style, and the feedback from it's been good enough that I'm thinking of doing a john one as well. should be fun :)

I people-watch. You can tell a lot about a person from how they interact with others, from the clothes they wear, from the expressions on their face. It's strangely fun. I also air-sketch people on my thigh/hand/jacket/whatever is on my lap at the time if they have interesting facial structures. I'm not very good at drawing, but it's still a fun study to do when you have spare time.

I dunno. I have a friend from Brazil, and I'm pretty certain that she hasn't come up for air since October. On the other hand, we have a guide in the tunnels that knows them like no one else I know. We've been trying to convince her that cold builds character. It's not working.

When I was 12, I was pretty insecure about my weight. I wasn't overweight, but I was taller and bigger then the other girls. For christmas my aunt gave me a sweater that was three times my size, along with a card that said that they didn't know my size but this 'looked about right'. I felt pretty shit for a while after that.

Another good christmas memory could be about 7 years ago when we went over to my aunt's house for christmas. They live about 9 hours drive away, so it was quite the trip. My grandparents even flew in from England, and we figured it would be a big family get together! It was fun, except when my cousins got DVD players from my grand parents and money towards a new computer, while my sisters and I received clothes and socks. I like socks, I'd just rather not that my grandparents played favorites while we were in the room. It hurts a little, you know? Anyway, we now avoid those happy little christmas get-togethers. If I want to feel like shit, told I'm too fat, or be labelled the lesser grandchild, then I'd rather do that from the comfort of my own home.

As the older sibling of twins, it is damn near impossible to tell which one is which from a quick glance, so if I want to ask the twin out of the corner of my eye to do something, I have only about a 50% chance of getting the name right unless I look or they speak to me. At least you are allowed to screw up the names - if I screw up, I have to apologize for an hour because they don't like being mistaken for each other. I think they sometimes forget how similar they look. :)

I like this one. I'd feel like a supervillain, which would be pretty darn cool.

two things: first off, student = no money :(

second: I'm not sure what I'd call it. 'man cave' wouldn't fit. I could always take a leaf out of any comic book and call it some variation of 'control room', I suppose.

I'm female and I want one of these.

One day, the king's surgeon went missing, and after that the killings stopped, apart from a couple of copycats over the years.

Truth be told, I'm not sure I know anymore than what I said up there. I remember reading it a few times and thinking 'you know what? that makes a lot of sense." and I've continued to believe it because it makes more sense than some of the other theories out there.

Also, because it's a really fun conspiracy theory. everyone likes a bit of gossip. :D

Thank you for your eloquent answer. If you knew what you wanted to hear, then why post here at all?

This song has no words, so I'm not sure if it counts, but the music is beautiful.

If you really must have a song with words, then perhaps this one? it always makes me think of the futility of war, of human sacrifice that shouldn't have to be necessary. I'm too young to remember the IRA, but there's plenty of modern situations that this song could be applied to without even having to change the lyrics. Places change, wars don't.

Words could not express how hilarious that would be.

There is no reed to get rude. You asked the question and then went off on a rant about r/atheism, with not a mention of porn. Vilvos answered the rant, possibly since you feel (from what I gathered, anyway) that the most important part was r/atheism's existence on the front page, and not the lack of porn as you initially stated. If you wanted to use this as an excuse to vent, this is the wrong subreddit.

Also, I would think that the reason that any NSFW subreddits aren't on the front page is rather obvious - you can browse Reddit in public areas without worrying about what people see. The people who run reddit want you to browse outside of your basement, because it's free advertisement.

I would paint huge murals depicting history, science, and the cause of this mess. Knowing the human race, there's bound to be some random genetic mutation that gives people immunity to the water supply, and if the world rebuilds itself, then maybe they will learn from us through my art.

The not-so-pretty answer? I would probably become depressed and end up wondering around in the nude. Think of the freedom!

Yes, it's definitely faked. I mean, who wouldn't be tempted by the vast amounts of internet points that have no value anywhere outside of the internet (or anywhere in the internet, for that matter) ?

Upvoted the picture because it's nice when you find a reference IRL to something you're a part of on the intertubes.

I believe that they caught Jack the Ripper, but since he was the king's surgeon it was hushed up. However, I am willing to be corrected by any knowledgeable historians.

"Dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence" From Time Bandits. The movie was brilliant, but this line made it for me.
