Today... I was fixing myself a bowl of Maruchan ramen. I spice it up and make it like a poor man's gourmet ramen(because I am a poor man, lol...) And, now listen here. This is where I tell you I am a dumb smart person. I tested in the 99th percentile in the country. Yet, I filled the water too much, and my thumb was partially in the bowl. So now my thumb has a severe second-degree burn on it...
I bet yours can't be worse than mine.

I set myself on fire making top ramen once by dragging my shirt over the burner. I nearly burned down the kitchen.

Well, I'm still trying to recover from the weird effects of a finger-flavored ramen I had for breakfast.

So you're the inspiration for that ancient joke?
"Waiter, your thumb's in my soup!"
"It's all right sir; it's not hot."
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

That joke is probably older than me... But no it wasn't hot, it was boiling!

On my annual two week 'get away from all the crazy people' hike in the Talkeetna mountains, managed to cut my finger to the bone with a camp axe  . Sewed it up with 1 lb fly line and copious amounts of Jim Beam (anesthetic and sterilizer, all in one!) Then walked out to civilization to get it fixed by a real doctor, who looked at it and told me come back in a week to take the fly line out.

I used to ride Moto Guzzi bikes, which are ... um ...different, particularly as far as brakes go.
Most bikes have a foot lever which operates the back brake only, and a hand lever which operates the font disks.
But Guzzis are different: the hand lever operates on done disk, and the foot lever operates the other front disk plus the back one - with most of the braking effort going to the front as you'd expect.
Once you are used to it, it's a brilliant setup: you can literally stand on the rear brake lever and the bike will stop impressively quickly.
And when I put it in for service they used to lend me a Ducati for the day. Which doesn't have linked brakes.
So when I pulled away from the lights in traffic on a wet road and the car ahead hit his brakes, I stood on the rear lever, locked the rear wheel slid sideways (at about 10 mph) tapped the central reservation curb and fell off.
And broke my collar bone.
It cost me £1500 in parts to put the bike right, but I had to have a plate put in which I did via Bupa and it cost another £2500.
And the op gave me a frozen shoulder which lasted four years and meant I couldn't travel, type work a mouse, or even wipe my own ass with my right hand ...
Stupid? Oh yes. All my fault? Oh yes. And now, over twenty years later my right shoulder still isn't fully normal!

i sprained my ankle while sitting in my desk chair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes i sit with one foot tucked under the opposite leg (half cross-legged). so my right ankle was tucked under my left leg. but this time, the tendons must've been stretched or moved out of normal alignment somehow. and when i stood up, i couldn't put any weight on my right foot at all. took weeks to be able to walk normally again. and that ankle is still weak, two years later.

Amazing.
Sounds like you somehow managed to disjoint your ankle.
While sitting.

Feeling the cool breeze hitting my face
what a beautiful way to die
It was summer in 2021 as
I was lying on the grass
I remembered my past
then I saw a glimpse
of the world above
as I lay dying happy
my spirit floated above.

The art of conveying emotions. I do hope conveying means what I think it does.
How does one get sucked into poetry?
Well, things started with a damned Raven..

That's a tribute to a poem.

I was involved back in college, even moderator in a national mIRC32 chat about poetry. Some people said I was not that bad...
Didn't write anything more in the last 12 years or so...
I don't even try it anymore, because I have lost a lot of language feeling and vocabulary... I suppose the problem of living abroad and speaking several languages more or less continuously

I'm afraid it's going to be replaced. Creative people these days make something called a "tiktok".

I discovered this show yesterday through some Youtube videos. I found it so sad that this show idea was (is?) a viable business. I mean they need to find people over 600 pound regularly and it seems it was easy looking at their Wiki page.
Not to start a political argument here but I really found it sad that developed country is troubled with obesity at this level. I am quite sure good education about what, how much and when you eat at young age could help a lot of people.
