One time I posted my ass on a forum. A woman was posting her tits and I said my ass had more cleavage than her. She called me out. I posted. She deleted her account after being made fun of by everyone in the subreddit.

It then got reposted on reddit best of. So at least 2 separate groups of people laughed at my ass/that woman.

Even got my own thirsty message which was different.

I appreciated the confidence boost this gave me. But now my ass is out there. Maybe you’ve seen it?

What’s a dumb thing you did online?

No ragrets tho

    I once downloaded a file from Limewire or Kazaa or one of those programs. It was 10mb but labelled Final Fantasy X for PC.

    It was definitely a lot more of a virus than it was FFX.

      I remember reading an article about how those programs would increase your speed if you shared more files. Sharing “My Documents” was the only logical action to take…

      Luckily it was just school essays and the like, but that was dumb.

      Big brain time was using limewire to download limewore pro to get the blue download bar and (provably faked) 7KBps speed instead of 6KBps.

      I looked on the old account and couldn’t find it. Deleted in reddit purge. Will work on new content ™️

    Sexted. Honestly before this I never understood what’s so arousing about it and kinda thought it was dumb but damn it was actually very fun tbh. Never actually read sexting other people have done so I had 0 experience and turns out the other person was same.

    We were both innocent (at least I was) and it was very funny how hard we tried to get each other’s things going. I’d be thinking to do one thing and they’d thinking to one thing and there was a lot of confusion lol.

    And now to the dumbiest part, I STILL have those chats on my phone. I could delete them even now but idk I kinda not want to delete them?

    I bought an Ouya. But that’s not the worst. At least I actually received it.

    I preordered (what would now be called crowdfunded) a Pandora handheld. Unfortunately I ordered it from the UK shop.
    Never got it or a refund.

    I was one of the fucking idiots that preordered No Man’s Sky. The devs have done a lot to make up for it, so I don’t really regret it anymore as it’s a decent game now, but at release it was so drastically bare-bones compared to what they advertised that if the legal system actually gave a shit about consumer protection, the staff of Hello Games would have served jail time.

    But Sean was a charismatic little con artist, and he cut right past my defense. bUt ThiS gUy’S diFfeReNt!! Bruh I fuckin knew better than that!

      the staff serving jail time would make no sense as they’re not the ones in charge of marketing decisions. the CEO, and the managers? sure

        Idk who decides what in an indie studio, but whatever the job title, I’m talking about those involved in deceiving their customers… and there was a lot of that with NMS.

      Don’t feel bad I put money into star citizen early on and I still don’t have a stable playable game.

        If I sell you a 2025 Ferrari then give you a 2011 Honda Civic, I broke the law and you got scammed.

        Even if I take the unexpected step of sending you a civic-to-Ferrari conversion kit after the fact that makes the car I delivered somewhat comparable to the one I advertised, that doesn’t excuse the initial deception.

        What they did was deliberate and dishonest - it’s awesome that they’ve taken (a shit ton of) steps since to make it right, but it’ll never be right.

        Holding them accountable is not psychotic.

    I tried paying for something off Facebook Marketplace over the internet rather than in-person. Of course I was scammed. Fortunately it was only for about $35.

    dated women i met on reddit.

    they were all super weirdo psychos. one of had a breakdown at me that her dad wouldn’t buy her a porsche. another was doing fertility treatments and kept asking me if i’d raise/pay for her child. another refused to eat but drank like a fish. another was a weapons designer and like got off on her missiles blowing up brown people. i had several other women approach me too on reddit once they saw a photo i had posted in my history. after those mistakes i basically just started ignoring all the PMs.

    they were all very good in bed though. way more than non-reddit women. but they also all had zero empathy for other human beings and had psychopathic behaviors.
