Someone was experiencing paranoia and suspected his landlord of breaking and entering his house and writing stuff on his notepad and such. A reddit commenter asked him to check for carbon monoxide levels and it turns out his home had higher levels of co and could have turned fatal. I am always inspired by that and how a random person can save another person's life by sharing his knowledge in time. That's truly legendary.

Like all good things on reddit, it got beaten to death, but that OG use was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in that site.

the camera one where he shows how he took the photo with no hands

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Dude was committed to the bit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That one has to be one of my favorites too

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

the dude who decided to try heroin, documented it all, and descended into hell.

those posts still give me the creeps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ohh yeah. This post history was intense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Dang I missed that one. Does anyone have a link?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Spez's AMA was legendary, in the sense that it was a complete disaster. I still can't believe how self righteous and tone deaf it was. He doubled down on calling the Apollo dev a liar after the dude released the tapes!

"Today you... tomorrow me". Love that story and it's searchable on other sites thankfully if you want a heartwarming story.

The guy with the broken arms

Oh god, i had repressed that memory. Motherfucker

That's the spirit!

The one from the guy who had an intruder in his house watching him do homework all evening. He only found out when his parents got home and they saw the notes the intruder had been writing on his bedroom door. I get so creeped out just thinking about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What were the notes about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I found the story again, saved off on a different site:

I think I’m scarred for life from the Swamps of Dagobah. And I can’t look at coconuts anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the coconut story is my #1 for shock stories from Reddit lol.

I still love eating those sweet shreds though haha.

The guy that pretended not to know potatoes

Poop-knife

Dirty-talk attempt: "Yeah, you like that..? You fucking retard?"

Guy with two penises (apparently it was fake, but at the time it was my favourite thing)

β€œI may need to get rid of a lion”

And the vile jackass who wanted to force a woman to parent a child she signed over to him

The guy whose company planned an event at a plantation, complete with period costumes, and forgot that their remote IT guy was black.

There's a series of pictures of an older white woman in an blue ball gown coming down these ornate stairs all smiles and then her seeing him and realizing her mistake.

The guy who had to commit to not knowing potatoes, had me in tears.

Foot-meat tacos. I think about the guy that ate his own foot at least once a week. I wish I'd never looked at the pictures, because I cannot get them out of my head.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The guy that served his friends tacos made from his own foot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WHAT??? Is this some fetish thing again?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What no lmao. I think he had an accident or something and had to have his foot amputated, so he basically asked for them to give it to him and... he made tacos with it, and ate them with his friends.

It sure was.

The guy who pretended he had never tried potatoes before, the first time he met his girlfriend's parents. "Ooh Po tay toes, these look very interesting!"
