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 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!

      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.

        It’s not for launching a bad product. It’s for lying about what the product is. It’s fraud. There’s no excuse for 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.

      When i read things like that, i’m confused, because i never bought a word that Sean said and all their demos looked fake as hell.

      Then i remember that i pre-ordered Brink

    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 did a lot of stupid stuff as a teenager but most of it is forgotten.

    Someone tricked me into stealing my unique gloves in diablo2 once. Felt real stupid after but they just blocked me and I never saw them again. (I think it was that if you die when the item was being moved it drops onto the ground, so they told me to swap my gloves in a pvp fight and then killed me)

    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.

    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.

    Registered to KiwiFarms.

    Incase people don’t know, KiwiFarms is fairly infamous online for harboring some of the most raunchiest, edgiest, cutthroat people you can ever come across. The backburner of the society on the internet, if there was one. These people are rabidly obsessed with drama in the form of lolcows, people who they deem entertainment based on the amount of controversies and cringe-inducing moments recorded of their lives. So obsessed, they archive everything and post it for all to see.

    Some people deserve the badge because there are really some unhinged people out there that need to be known and called out for. Other people, can sometimes make you feel all “leave them the hell alone…” over because some people just have niche hobbies and are given hell over it for no reason.

    This is the place where derogative slang terms for races of people is part of their language. It is pretty common, so expect to see the N-word dropped nonchalantly as the others.

    Being around these people have warped my mind a little before I decided one day to just password-lock my account and severed the e-mail tied to it (using protonmail, where you delete an account once and that’s it) where it cannot be recovered. It at first was a breath of fresh air to speak in ways where you otherwise couldn’t with the overreaching censorship you find online these days. But after awhile, I just started hating more people than I thought I did originally and they really do act like they’re the cool kids on the block above everyone else. When really, they never grew up past their edgy high school/college days.
