I met someone who had an anime budget that he would spend on figurines and poo poo and he was the most insufferable person I have ever met. You can usually notice them by how they speak. If they sound like they are just reciting facts or talking like they are a wiki just walk away and make a point to never engage them in conversation.

one of my best friends had an anime budget that he would spend on figurines and poo poo when he was a grown-rear end adult but he was super chill and never brought it up unless you brought it up first. actually i'm pretty sure everyone who met him thought he was just constantly blazed as gently caress, he was just all-around likeable and pleasant and not confrontational at all

but then he died so tldr anime will kill you

best out-of-SA thing i ever read was on a forum for "digital gangsters" ie white kids who do a shitload of drugs and make money phishing/spamming/etc

some dude who was high on something or other all the time thought his neighbor was spying on him because he had an animatronic owl which would periodically move its head in his backyard (they apparently use them to scare away rodents)

anyway he stole it and checked it out and there were no cameras in it, so he does the next best thing and sends it via mail to some other dude on the forums who continues the process and so on over several months during which the owl does a world tour documented with timestamped pics

quite amazing to see people who would unironically smoke crack and post about stealing poo poo from their parents to hock pull it off

that forum had a ton of amazing stories but i forgot my account login and its private now so rip. also this was like 7-8 years ago so who knows if it even still exists

The goon advice is gold too. Homeless OP used to be a full-time gambler, and there are actual people posting "hope you can get back on your feet soon so you can get back to [gambling]"

smdh. At least some goon drove 6 hours one-way to adopt his cats.

He took an RF adapter from a Sega genesis and spliced the coax cable part with an electrical plug so in theory when his neighbor tried to steal his cable it would gently caress up his TV/kill him.

the guy in the low carb thread who ate nothing but bacon and eggs for breakfast every day and raving about how awesome it was, started out scrambling his eggs in the bacon grease and then went to the butter+creme fraiche gordon ramsay method. presumably still with lovely inferior american supermarket bacon, then he had bloodwork done and he was dangerously unhealthy

it's actually a really powerful opiate but it doesn't make you high because it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. You can weaken the integrity of the barrier with various drugs, but proper dosing becomes impossible and you can od at the drop of a hat
