“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them

The incompetent a*s of an electrician at my old apartment building—he installed a new breaker box upside down—flatly stated “I don’t do that” when asked if he was going to clean his mess.

I did that once when I was about 20. Woke up on the floor between the toilet and the shower, in a rental shared by three other 20-something males. Gross.

I don’t understand why straight men don’t want gay men around. Gay men aren’t after women, so the more there are the less actual competition there is for the straight girls.

“What Do People Not Realize Has An Extremely Low Chance Of Happening?” (50 Answers)

We once went to Laughlin, not much to do at night. So I bit the bullet, gave my wife $20 (which she lost) and I played the Black Jack table with the same amount. Made out very well by estimating probabilities. Didn't play with my winnings. Once my initial $20 was gone, grabbed my chips to cash them in. Guy next to me said, "why are you leaving, you are doing really well". I said, "I just made a 500% return, nothing in Wall Street could get me that, I'm getting out while I'm ahead".

I actually DO HAVE moderate to severe reactions to the COVID vaccines. My second booster put me at a 105F fever for two days. The ones since have only hit 103F. But do you notice something about that? I keep getting my shots.

I have a state trooper friend. He said in a survivable accident, he has never pulled a dead body from a seat belt. But has picked up plenty of dead people, from the road who did not wear their seatbealt

50 Memes That Shed Light On Our Past And Are Hilarious At The Same Time

We have no respect for the fantastic friends that all you religious people have, like small children. Neither santas nor fairies nor gods exist. You are not children any more, the matter is serious and you need medical assistance.

Hey Pandas, Share A Controversial Opinion You Hold (Closed)

Gender is separate to biological sex. They do not always correlate. Find a way of scientifically defining biological sex, they will all show more than two varieties. Hermaphrodites and intersex will have a gender, or be agender.

Even if we assume genders match sex (They don't) there are more than two sexes so are more than two genders. As it is there are definitely more than two genders.

Jesus may have been a historical figure, it can be argued one way or another, as I see it there is no controversy over whether or not the man existed. However that does not mean the mythical elements to his story is, in anyway, real.

Hey Pandas, Share A Controversial Opinion You Hold

I feel some people are born heterosexual and others are not. To me, God made us and He doesn’t make mistakes. So gay, bi, LGBTQ, however you feel, is just how it is. It is not a choice. Nobody influenced ME to be attracted to the opposite sex, thats just how God made me. My daughter loves her wife and I am happy for her! And I hate the term “straight” because the opposite of that is crooked and being attracted to the same sex is not crooked. Lastly, we don’t question people about being heterosexual, its no big deal. So why do we have to label and question a LGBTQ person.

25 “Straight Male” Quirks That Make Gay Men Say, “Really?”

I know that broadly there isn’t, but all of the gay men that I know well, without exception, can’t stand sports, except ice skating and gymnastics. I ascribe no meaning to it.

25 “Straight Male” Quirks That Make Gay Men Say, “Really?”

If I see a particularly impressive feat in a sport, I’ll be impressed. But just because *occasionally* someone makes a truly remarkable catch in a baseball game, it doesn’t mean I want to watch a whole hours long game, much less hundreds of them. Same goes for any other sport. B O R I N G.

Medical science states firmly and explicitly that there are more than two sexes and that gender and sexuality is fluid, a spectrum. Right wing pundits and Bible thumpers claim otherwise. Pick your source.

My wife uses TikTok most days.

Some c**p pops ups of course, but she quickly scrolls past it, minimizing its presence in her feed.

50 Funny Memes To Bring Out The Geek In You

Now you’re going to make them mad. One of the first posts I ever read on BP featured an artist’s impression of a newly discovered exoplanet. Over and over, people commented how beautiful this striped, pink planet was, and when someone explained to them that that was just a painting, and that the only real image we had was just monochromatic image a few pixels wide with accompanying spectral data, that person was throughly downvoted. You’ll never get through to the “Pluto will always be a planet to me!” crowd. I bet that not a single one of them knows that the asteroids Ceres and Pallas were considered planets for a couple of decades in early to mid 1800s, but then were reclassified as asteroids when more information came to light. I’m dying to see the 1845 letters to Scientific American crying, “Ceres will always be a planet to me!”
