    Never have I ever read a single book or watched a single movie of the Harry Potter series.

        More upvotes should mean that most people in fact have seen the movies or read the books

        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!

      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.

    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 haha

    Never have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o

      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

      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.

        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”.

      My job during the release of that movie was to hold the box of tissues in between my girlfriend and her mother.Well, that and not crack jokes or point out plot holes. I was successful but really it didn’t like the movie and still don’t

    I purposely don’t because it’s an interesting talking point for breaking ice.

    I’ve never had a close family member or friend die. I have siblings, they have families. Both my grandparents on one side are alive, the other two died when I was an infant. I have dozens of cousins that are all in good health. Closest thing was my spouse’s grandpa. I’ve been phenominally lucky.

      Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

      Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

      But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

        That’s awful :( I genuinely can’t imagine how painful that is.

        I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been, and that it’s only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I’m going out to visit soon. I tell myself “Someday in the near future, I’ll wish I could come back to today.”
