Kind of like eating nettles…

Yeah, when I was really young there was a big weed-filled piece of land by my primary school that had a ton of nettles in it. Me and my friends saw one of those nettle eating contests on TV once and decided to try it to see which one of us was more “hardcore”.
I actually remember trying over and over just to cleanly chew up one nettle, then when I finally got it I kept at it for a couple months before we decided it was stupid. It took us a long, long time to decide it was stupid. It’s annoyingly painful at first, but once the sides of the mouth and tongue go numb and swollen it gets a little easier. I hid it from my parents the whole time by eating in my room, which was insanely hard after the swelling.
Honestly, once you’re used to them nettles aren’t so bad, still feels like shit, but it’s not an intense seething pain like the habaneros were.
Britain actually has a rather large Nettle Eaters following. It’s very hard to eat any significant amount without a drink at hand, something that slows down the acid reactions is good, but some consider it cheating. You should give it a try at least once, it’s not half a bad as it really sounds. Raw was always my favourite because I didn’t want anyone to call me out for cheating in any way.[/quote]
Humans get given these big old brains and then use them for things like this. I don’t know if that’s funny or sad.

Arguably more sad than funny, but still funny. I feel glad knowing that 99% of the other people I meet have never put nettles in their mouth. I’ve done much stupider things than this, and setting my face on fire. And it’s hard to do something much stupider than setting your own face on fire. If these were my only posts on the forum, people would wonder how I haven’t died out of a total lack of brain functionality.
One of my friends almost completely bit the end of his ring finger off once, just through pure teeth pressure. That’s a pretty silly one.[/quote]
I tricked one of my friends into smoking a joint of pubes before. THE WHOLE THING. And he literally didnt notice until we showed him my brothers shaved pubes.
Were you ever THAT stupid?
