I personally will never not trust my gut feeling.

    drinking 12 espresso each with speed on one day (I almost had a hard attack and couldn’t sleep for like 1½days)

    Skydiving. It’s super windy and loud. It’s a predictable struggle between gravity and air resistance. There’s a man firmly pressed up against my bum. You end up back where you started. Super inefficient and uncomfortable mode of transportation.

      I’ve always wanted to scuba dive. My ears are just so sensitive I don’t think I’d be able to

        My ears give me difficulties too. You can try it out in a pool if you find classes. A divemaster finally showed me how to bend and twist my head while equalizing my ears to get my narrow ear passages to allow air to move around. Now I can usually manage a second dive when going out.

    I once was young and stupid and maxed out the speedometer of my car on a empty highway at the middle of the night. Now I can say I’ve done it and don’t need to do that again. Normally I hardly even drive above the speedlimit.

    Morning gym workout. Neck is still sore twenty years later. I know musculoskeletal injuries don’t happen from one event but that morning was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

    OP, gut feelings are usually helpful, care to share what happened to you?

    I’m curious, if you’re open to discussing it: what did you fail to trust your gut feeling about, and what was the result?

        Do your intuition was that there was something sketchy in it, but you convinced yourself it wasn’t true?

        What happened?

          To be honest, it looked good but something just in my gut didn’t like it. But I said fuck it, didn’t feel good for 3 days after that night. No appetite and just felt weird/high for a good few days after it

    Play paintball.

    I started playing back in the 80’s when I was in college and everybody used paint guns that could only hold about 15 rounds, and fired one at a time.

    I’m way too old to run around in the woods like I did 40 years ago, and the game has completely changed as well. People have guns that can hold hundreds of paintballs and shoot incredibly fast, so the whole strategy is unlike it was. I just don’t find modern paintball enjoyable at all.

      Loved them. And I loved the whole post apocalyptic fires under huge caldroms feature about them. Best part of my trip to Georgia except for the cocaine.

        They’re like someone with a salty mouth sucked regular peanuts until they absorbed all the warm saliva and swelled up, and then spat them into a paper bag and left them for a few hours on a warm park bench.

          Well, fuck you for that. I can taste the texture of your comment and I am quite unhappy about it.

          Have you ever had cacahuates japoneses “Japanese peanuts”? They’re the opposite of that, I highly recommend them.
