What’s a Good Cheap or Free Hobby To Get Into?

Why is everything so dang expensive these days? Even the hobbies you can do at home add up super quick, it seems.

Keeping up with the latest gaming can cost a lot, and even TV watching has become prohibitively expensive again for many as we’re asked by a billion companies to sign up for endless individual streaming services to watch what we want.

There’s gotta be some cheaper stuff to do, right Reddit?

What hobby do you enjoy that’s cheap/free? from AskReddit

Not to worry, they’ve got some ideas!

1. Cooking

Cooking can be a pretty cheap hobby.

I mean, you have to eat anyway, might as well enjoy the processes of making your own food.

– Ointenso

2. Writing

I actually have honest talks with myself through writing.

You’d be amazed how much reading your own thoughts can help you.

– Loozka

3. Hiking

Hiking.

Find parks or trails in your area and check them out.

There are a lot of cool places to explore.

– NilsaPhilip

4. Working out

Working out.

Even when stuck indoors self isolating or whatever, there is a lot of stuff you can do without any equipment.

Body weight stuff like press ups, squats, sit ups etc.

– Flygon_S

5. …this!

Chess.

– Xseros

6. Cross Stitch

Cross stitch! Basically pixel art on fabric.

You can get a ton of patterns online for free or just a few bucks, and the thread/fabric for a first project usually runs $5-10 and will keep you busy several hours. (You can buy a beginner kit at any hobby store.)

It’s what I do to unwind every night and I’ve had some beautiful results if I may say so. ?

– Andromeda321

7. Reading

Reading.

Books are generally cheap and nowadays you can even find lots of classics online for free

– Jorgensen01

8. Embroidery

Embroidery – while there are lots of tools and fancy equipment you can get if you get really into it, it’s one of the cheaper crafts to get started with.

You just need some fabric, a hoop, some needles, and some embroidery floss – you can get started with about $10.

I bought one kit to see if I liked it and then used the leftover materials plus a piece of scrap fabric to start making my own designs.

– goose_juggler

9. Rock collecting

Looking at rocks, collecting rocks, using sandpaper and labor to polish rocks.

– Aninternerloser

10. Arrowhead hunting

Arrowhead hunting.

I think it’s neat to find something that humans made that hasn’t been touched in hundreds or thousands of years.

I live near a river in the Midwest (U.S.) and the farmer’s fields along the river tend to have a good supply of stone-age tools/weapons.

Always get permission first though!

– Dan_mcmxc

11. Homebrewing

Homebrewing.

It’s not necessarily cheap/free, but I was going to spend the money on good beer anyway, so I might as well make a hobby out of it. Once your initial equipment investment is done, you’re just paying for ingredients, which are pretty inexpensive (around 75 cents per beer on an IPA for 5 gallon batches, cheaper for less hoppy styles).

At the low end you can be into the hobby for around $100-150, and for a high quality setup you’re talking $3-500. Ingredients cost me $30-40 per 5 gallon batch, which means I’m spending half what I would normally on craft beer. It takes about a year or 2 to amortize your initial equipment costs, and at that point you’re playing with house money.

Granted, with higher-end equipment there’s basically no upper limit to what you can spend on this hobby, but that basically only applies if you’re someone with gear acquisition syndrome.

It’s also helped me cut my alcohol consumption down (at least since the holidays), because at this point I’m trying to only drink what I brew, which means fewer trips to the beer store just because I feel like it. It’s also a fun creative outlet for me, I probably spend as much time planning my brew days and designing recipes as I do brewing the beer itself.

– duffman13jws

12. Coin roll hunting

Coin Roll Hunting r/crh

You buy rolls of coins from the bank, search them for rare dates, old coins, errors (ie double strikes, off-center strikes), silver coins (in rolls of dimes/quarters/halves), foreign coins.

Then you either roll them back up or bring to a coin counting machine. The only cost is the coins you keep.

– theshoegazer

13. Foraging

I do foraging/wildcrafting in the last few years. So far my only expense was 10$ garden gloves for dealing with extra mean plants. On the contrary, it supplies me with a supply of herbal teas, spices, and [depending on the season] fruit and vegetables and various goods made from them – including ones that are way above my budget, had I bought them in the grocery store.

Caution 1: please avoid eating or using wild plants unless you are 100% certain you know what they are and how to handle them correctly.

Caution 2: Please harvest responsibly. Don’t take more than you need, and make sure not to damage plants along the way, and leave enough of the plant and/or patch to recover and grow again the next year. Leave struggling plants, protected species and nature reserves alone.

– With_Trees

14. Fishing

Fishing.

There’s people that’ll spend thousands but if you have a fresh or saltwater access nearby, it’s an inexpensive hobby to get into that’ll keep you entertained.

– Growbigbuds

15. Reddit

Scroll through Reddit trying to find new hobbies and enjoyment but not actually getting anywhere.

– GiantGeorge14

Sounds fun, I may just have to give a few of those a try!

People Talk About the Biggest Friendship “Green Flags”

There aren’t many things in this life better than having a truly good friend at your side.

But how can you tell when it’s the real thing? Maybe Reddit can help.

What are some of the "green flags" of a true freindship? from AskReddit

Here are some sure-fire signs to look out for.

1. Text first

They text you first when they don’t want anything.

– SilasDeane76

2. Protection

My friend once told me ” I Won’t let anyone hurt you man, even yourself” while helping me get off drugs.

That always rang out as a true friend thing to say to someone.

– Generalkrunk

3. No judgement

When they don’t judge you for things you can’t control. In high school, I had a sleepover, we all slept in the same bed, like normal.

I’d recently started some new medication. Turns out, a side effect was bedwetting.

They never told anyone. They never judged me. They helped me change the sheets. I’m still friends with those girls.

– SheketBevakaSTFU

4. Nothing and everything

When you can talk about nothing and talk about deep things.

Lots of friends only have one or the other.

– kraftykitten

5. Confidence

When you don’t have to talk 24/7 to know that you’re there for each other no matter what.

And when you do see/talk to each other again, it’s like no time has passed at all – you just have more stories to tell.

– ridiculoys

6. Hang time

“wanna hang out” then you don’t hang out and neither of you mind and then you hang out next week

– JAdamsidk123

7. The reverse

They’ll make fun of you to your face and defend you behind your back.

– Duluthian378181

8. The night life

When its 3am, you KNOW its 3am, NEITHER OF YOU ARE HIGH, and yet you’ve both been chortling at something that was said at 10:30…

– RedditGremlin13

9. Always welcome

When they can walk into your house unannounced and be welcomed in like a blood brother who’s come back after being away for the weekend

– jorph

10. Pick me up

You’ve both picked each other up or dropped each other at the airport at some ungodly hour and still enjoyed the drive.

– findingthescore

11. Silence is golden

Not needing to talk all the time or hang out regularly to justify having a solid friendship.

– themarajade1

12. It’s all convenient

They don’t mind being “inconvenienced” by you (in other words they don’t mind helping you/ being there for you)

– Jazz_Xyz

13. Feeling seen

When you can recognize someone’s mood without them telling you that they are upset.

– Oreo-and-Fly

14. Just to vent

I think the best thing I’ve heard from one of the few friends I’ve had is when I was having a real sh*t day and they asked if I wanted advice, just to vent, or needed a distraction.

The intention that day had been to help paint some walls in her house. She was perfectly fine with me hanging out and chatting, curled up in a blanket on the couch, while she painted her own walls and then we ordered takeout.

The sh*t was bad, but the day wound up pretty good.

– ElectronicFerret

15. Hmm…

One of my friends understands pretty much exactly what me going “hmm” at different lengths and pitches means.

– Trans-Trash-0310

If you’ve got yourself a friend that fits any of those descriptions, hang on to ’em.

What else would you add to this list?

People Discuss What They’ve Did to Get Over a Crush They Had for Years

I don’t know why the word for liking somebody a lot is “crush,” but if I had to guess, it’s because going through it just ABSOLUTELY CRUSHES YOUR SOUL.

So how do you shake a crush that’s crushing you to no benefit?

What helped you get over a crush you had for years? from AskReddit

Let us sit at the feet of Reddit and gather its wisdom.

1. “The idea of her.”

Well, for me, I kept telling myself that I did not fall in love with her, but with the idea of her.

I had always imagined a future with her… I wouldn’t bore you with the details, but yeah in those imaginations she seemed to be so excited about my presence, I mean she was in real life too (she’s a pretty good friend of mine), but in those dreams, a little more, I guess?

But anyway the fabricated and real girl were almost pole opposites in nature. So I kept telling myself for three years that the girl I actually had a crush on never existed. I liked the girl in my imagination, and there, she liked me back too; it wasn’t the case with the real one.

So that’s what helped me move on from her.

She’s still my friend, maybe we’re not as close as we were before, maybe it’s for the best. I still sometimes get slight feelings for her, but I’m sure it will wear out with time.

– PlatypusNo81

2. “The last time we talked.”

The fact that I just stopped initiating the conversation and that was the last time we talked.

– peanutcopter

3. “Crying.”

A lot of time.

A lot of crying and a lot of time spent on my own.

– pr1nc3sskn33saa

4. “Found a woman.”

Found a woman who was interested in me.

It’s so much better when the feelings are mutual.

– ChaseDonovan

5. “The realization.”

The realization that I would probably feel lonely in a relationship with him.

– AMythRetold

6. “Deal breaker.”

He tried to stab his mom.

That was kind of a deal breaker.

– KSmegal

7. “A lack of ambition.”

Realizing she had a lack of ambition with her life, and that I was a lot more invested into maintaining the relationship than she was.

Something I always try to remember going forward is that you have to separate what the relationship used to be/what it could be vs. what it actually is.

Some things you just can’t change or work out.

– Megaric

8. “I then found out…”

My grandma ran into his dad at my open house and I then found out that we are cousins

– notgreatbutstillok

9. “My realization.”

My realization of how I was an absolute stalker on his social media

– CelebrationHot5209

10. “Crushes can make you stupid.”

I should have known it wasn’t going to turn out well when we started making out while her boyfriend was in the bathroom.

An obvious red flag now, but just the coolest, most slow motion movie scene at the time.

Crushes can make you stupid.

– philatio11

11. “Complete 180.”

My feelings didn’t change when she was interested in other guys…until she actively tried to date a married guy.

COMPLETE 180 for me on that one in mere seconds. 2 year-long mega crush gone.

– YeomaTV

12. “I dump the crush.”

Imagining hypothetical situations for so long that I discovered the situation where we actually go out but then I dump the crush

– Revoider

13. “Became his friend.”

Became his friend.

Turns out, he is not my type AT ALL. I only liked the idea of him.

The mystery of not knowing him was what made him attractive.

– Sreejoinder

14. “She said ‘no.’”

Coming in way too late, but here goes.

When I finally told her how I felt and was rejected, I asked her if she ever thought about the possibility of us together. She said “No.” It was as if I could feel my brain rewiring right there in the moment, because I realized I wasted so many years pining over someone who never once considered me in the same way.

Who knows what opportunities I missed because I was so fixated on her? Thankfully I got out of my head in my early 20’s before it impeded anymore growth on my part.

– sonaked

15. “Too similar.”

Our interests were too similar.

I liked girls, so did she.

– AshCooper79

Ah. Yeah. Well, that’ll do it.

Have you ever shaken a big crush? How did you pull it off?

People Talk About the Most Messed-Up Things Strangers Told Them

One phrase that was cool when I was a kid but has now fallen out of use entirely is “TMI,” or “too much information.”

Turning phrases into acronyms was once, on its own, an entire joke. I don’t know why. It just was.

And when someone hit you with something unexpectedly bizarre about their life, you just said “T-M-I!” and reveled in the sitcom laugh track in your head.

What’s the most fucked up thing someone has told you about themselves after barely getting to know them? from AskReddit

What are the TMI experiences of Reddit? Let’s find out.

1. Fear and respect

I (25f at the time) was at A&E in the UK. I got discharged and was waiting for my taxi outside. This buff shirtless dude, covered in tattoos (they were decent too, imo) comes over and asks for a light. I bought a zippo for novelty so I obliged.

We got to talking and he told me how he had just got out of prison after serving a life sentence for killing his father, after his father murdered his baby sister. Had his records on him and everything (he was at the hospital as he was diabetic and had experienced an issue of some sort after being released – I have no expertise here).

I have never feared and respected a man so much in my life.

I bought him a pint after my taxi decided it wouldn’t be arriving. Decent bloke – we still speak 9 years later.

– heavenhelpyou

2. Twilight years

I remember the first friend I made at my new high school when I was 14 so vividly. Just as we were walking out of the classroom where we had just met she turns around and cheerfully chimes:

“oh, by the way. I’m a vampire.”

Yes, Twilight had just come out. That entire school was so weird.

I remember another girl noticed I had cut myself shaving and insisted on putting a bandaid on for me as she muttered things like “you have no idea how difficult this is for me”. (Yes, she also claimed to be a vampire.)

Small towns, man.

– U535087

3. Tea and sympathy

I used to work at an animal shelter and we had several people who would come volunteer to help out.

One of the women who came there on a regular basis went to lunch with me. She was such a sweet woman, a little older than I was at the time. She proceeded to tell me that she used to go to the park and give old men bl*w j*bs because she felt sorry for them.

WTF?

– moviesandcats

4. That’s hardcore

First night at my first base right out of tech school in the USAF…

“Hi! My name is Mike and I’m into hardcore S&M!”

Still had to share a room with him a few nights.

– 1369311007

5. The mix up

My manager at my job in high school decided to tell us about her suicide attempt on my very first day.

She was like, “One day, I decided to take some pills and end it all. I grabbed a pill bottle out of my mom’s cabinet and took a handful without even looking at what it was and then lay down to die. I was so surprised to wake up in the morning perfectly fine. Confused, I checked the bottle to see what I had taken.”

Yeah, it was estrogen.

– Nimeni013

6. The quiet kid

I sat next to this quiet kid in my Spanish class. He was awkward and had a subtle speech impediment.

One day, I tried to spark conversation with him and he told me that he considered murdering his parents.

– auxxxcordddlorddd

7. The bad hire

My boss at the time had hired an older woman who was re-entering the workforce. He wanted to fire her the first day when she couldn’t even complete the legal paperwork (maybe 20 minutes for the slowest readers) in 8 hours. He quickly lost his patience training her so he pawned her off on me.

Before the end of the first day I trained her she failed at things as I explained them to her, cried, called me a bully for trying to “train her too quickly.” She reported me to the boss and she wanted to report me to HR for creating a hostile environment. I was actually out of town at the time, but he managed to spook her enough by asking if we should just call this hiring a mistake and have her and the company mutually part ways. She straightened up pretty quick apparently.

When I came back a few days later she’s better, and more eager to learn. As we are leaving for the day her husband is waiting for her in the parking lot with her teenage son in the back seat. I pull out in my car after they do and the entire time her son is turned around in the backseat smiling at me through the rear windshield.

The following day she tells me her son has a huge crush on me now. He thinks I’m so hot and he’s going along for the ride tonight so he can see me again. Then this woman, who I have known for three days, tells me all of her teenage minor child’s physical stats including the size of his penis. Why a mother knows the size of her sons penis I do not wish to know.

I actually had to remind this woman that I was more than a decade older than her minor child. To which she sort of laughed and said he’d be older soon enough.

She did not end up working with us for long.

– Camp_Express

8. Dark realities

I was doing my practice in a hospital. They brought a young man in the neuro clinic, he was my 1st patient. He was around 30 and he had fallen from a tree while working.

He turned out to have a complicated neurological condition that had nothing to do with his fall. He was also diagnosed with severe depression. He was in there for months and no one ever visited him, the only time he felt a bit better was when I visited him and did some tests to him.

He said “it’s nice when you come and make me play with the coloured toys and make me draw things”. One day he was looking out of the window, when I came in he looked me dead in the eye and told me “you know, if the windows didn’t have protective bars, I’d jump right out”.

It was the 1st time I’d heard such thing and I remember it ever since

– Shoddy_Natural4217

9. So many questions!

I picked up a hitchhiker once that told me he left California after his wife died because the cops were asking too many questions.

I dropped him off in the next town and he paid me with a beer and we parted way

– iasip1986

10. So much so fast

Had to do a course and the trainer arrives, introduced himself to the small class of maybe 4-5 people and asked a bit about each of us, he then told us his wife had died 2 years ago and he tried to kill himself.

I felt horrible for him but he seemed genuinely happy with where his life was, I ended up staying back after class and having a beer with him at the bar he was a really cool guy I hope he is still happy.

– BrickBrickson

11. Sharp wit

That he stabbed his neighbour in the neck because he sexaully assaulted his step-daughter.

I’d worked with him for 2 hours at this point.

– devlin1888

12. Ya burnt

Some guy next to me on the bus once went into a long elaborate story about how he burned his house down for insurance money like three weeks prior.

I wouldn’t have believed it if his hands didn’t have massive burn scarring.

– STARCRUSHER99

13. Tears of a stranger

An old man asked me if I knew when the next bus would arrive and we ended up getting into a nice conversation that somehow led to him telling me about his daughter being being in an abusive relationship with a guy who made her move far away from him and his family so they couldn’t help her.

We were both crying by the time the bus arrived.

– Probablyprofanity

14. Care and care alike

Met a woman who worked I child care.

She told me all about how difficult it was working with abused boys and how she got to close to one and had sexual feelings. Showed me a picture and said anyone who meets him thinks he is really nice and not to judge him on looks….then the barman came back with my drink and I left.

That was the entirety of conversation with a VERY drunk and probably sh*tty social worker.

– AlertMike

15. At least he’s honest

My favourite question to ask new colleagues was: so, what do you do in your free time?

First person I asked: a sh*t ton of drugs.

– somethingseminormal

I…I don’t know what to do with that information.

Do you have a story like this?

What Would You Do If You Switched Sexes for a Whole Day?

Reddit is full of interesting information and insightful questions, but this takes the cake:

If you were the opposite sex for a day, what would you do? from AskReddit

If my wife also becomes the opposite sex then , he is gonna get some p*ssy!

Enjoy not having my b*lls stick to my leg for a day

– mcwaffles2003

8. Captain Realism coming in to spoil the fun.

Freak the f*ck out (in a bad way), probably go into shock, and then be very relieved when I go back to being a guy.

I’d hate to have such a huge, unexpected, and sudden change like that.

– VMarkB

9. It’s not that simple.

It’s actually really funny to see the girls ITT think that they could go get laid if they were guys.

Like it’s just some easy thing any guy can decide to do in a day.

– Joliet_Jake_Blues

10. For science!

Measure differences in Thiccness.

Try and bang my guy friends I’m already attracted to

Women Admit What They Would Do if They Were Men for a Day

As the influential philosophers at Good Burger once told us, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes, hey.”

That’s what was playing on repeat in my head when I was reading through this thread on Ask Reddit:

If you were the opposite sex for a day, what would you do? from AskReddit

There were a lot of posts from my fellow men which predictably fell into the category of “I’D TOUCH ALL MY LADY PARTS A LOT AND DO THE FAPPING!”

Which, yanno, ok. Let’s leave that behind for a moment and look at the responses that women gave about what they’d do if they were men. I’m sure it will be a lot more thoughtful and enlightening.

1. …oh.

Helicopter!

Masturbate, masturbate, masturbate.

Retract foreskin.

Replace foreskin.

Helicopter.

Pee on a tree.

Sex.

– Mtoastyo

2. Guess we’re not so different.

Jack off ngl i wanna know what it’s like to orgasm that easily

– f*ckmeup-scotty

3. Oof, this one hurts.

Go for a walk at night

– Calingaladha

4. Wow, really?

Sing.

I’ve always admired the vocal range and the sound of a male’s voice.

It’s just… Wow.

– CryptikAngel

5. Don’t bother – childbirth is definitely worse.

Get myself kicked in the b*lls so we could settle the debate of whether it hurts more than childbirth.

– saelcaha

6. WHY?

I would whip out my d*ck and pee everywhere possible.

– cuntiee

7. See this is darkly fascinating.

Am female, so would be male.

I would get all the jobs done that I need doing eg car serviced, guttering fixed, house insurance updated and so on. My husband generally does these because he gets better deals. We tried it last year where I made a call, then he did. And he consistently got a better deal. Not exactly an empirically proven experiment but it was enough for us to decide he’s in charge of negotiating anything financial!

– SmolEmmywem

8. Freud was right?

I think about this all the time, I have a bad case of penis envy.

I would definitely get a blow job, I need to know how that feels. I would also masterbaute.

I would write my name with pee! I would put stuff on my erect penis and try to fling it in my mouth. I want a penis so bad!! They’re so cool!!

– biscuit272

9. Um…

Try and save as much of sperm as possible so I can get myself pregnant.

– ta_janae

10. This answer came up a LOT.

I would spend the day swinging my penis around like a pinwheel

– topsinator

11. It is pretty nice.

Walk around shirtless

– StuckInDreams

12. Username checks out.

Be euphoric for a day

– transpersonmaybe

13. *Sigh.* Yeah.

Let’s be real here.

Everyone would masturbate.

– SmallDixxsRBeautiful

14. Are they that bad?

Celebrate.

No more boobs.

– imjustlivinghere

15. The range of motion is really pretty limited, ya’ll.

get a blowjob and make my d*ck move on command

– sailorigor

Well, now we’ve gotten to the bottom of that question, I guess.

How Do You Think You’d Get Rich if You Got $100 Every Time You Were Rejected? People Share Their Hilarious Responses.

The job market is really TOUGH right now. You hardly know where to turn.

But what if there were a different, unconventional way to make money, like this hypothetical from r/AskReddit:

You get 100$ every time you’re rejected for anything ( favors, dating, money ). What do you do to make money? from AskReddit

So, how best to turn rejection into cash? Let’s hear out some innovative ideas.

1. The trifecta.

Do you have a minute to hear about our lord and savior?

Would you like to take a survey?

Can I offer you an extended warranty?

– em21701

2. Love me tinder.

Does someone swiping left on my tinder profile count as a rejection?

If so, I’ll be a millionaire in a week.

– LukewarmCola

3. Just ask.

Ask people for $100

– Pimp_Butters

4. The swap.

Create two bank accounts, one to take the $100 another that’s just empty.

I use the debit card linked to the empty account and just repeatedly swipe it in some gas station or grocery store, getting declined every time.

Then I just use the other account for everything else ?

– Gastric_Wave

5. You game?

Ask people to play Axis and Allies the board game.

It’s my favorite, and no one ever wants to play it.

– i_am_the_pirate

6. Failed.

Try to login with the wrong password.

– trogdor1234

7. Dude, what?

Ask random strangers if you can sniff their farts

– Fl3xion

8. A clean break.

Ask my kids to clean up their toys. $$$

– Dorkjello

9. A strange plan.

1. Buy a magic 8 ball
2. ask a question and roll till a “no”
3. buy more magic 8 balls from the $100 and put them in a tray
4. ask away and shake the tray every time you need money.
5. Stack modular trays containing more magic 8 balls to expand your earnings per sec.

– Calmeister

10. Mouthing off.

Ask if I can stick my hand into people’s mouths, noone wants a stranger’s hand there

– Iwantmyteslanow

11. Oof.

Suggest really solid ideas to my work team of all-male technicians.

– jewbetterstopthat

12. That’s quite an estimate.

People Talk About the Worst Advice You Can Give to a Virgin

You’ll always remember your first time. Though not always fondly.

Maybe that’s because you got some bad advice? But surely not as bad as the advice found on this thread…

What is the WORST advice you can give a virgin for their first time? from AskReddit

The people of Reddit, as usual, did not disappoint.

It should be fairly obvious, but the rest of the page is going to be very weird and very NSFW.

1. Poking holes

Poking holes in condom will give you some breathing room.

– Harsh_Asnani

2. Fast and the Furious

Two key words gentlemen: Fast, and Hard.

Ladies love pure speed, so as soon as those panties come off you want to get in there as quickly as possible. Once you’re in you need to keep going, maintain that energy until you’re finished. Y’all know what a jackhammer is right? That’s basically the only way to make them feel good.

Girls say that they can c*m but they really cant, its all imaginary so don’t worry about it.

If she’s upset afterwards then that means you aren’t fast enough.

Work up those core muscles.

Also! Condoms are a scam. They advertise like they help avoid pregnancies but really it just makes those lil guys swim faster. So make sure not to use them. Ever

– Cl0udSurfer

3. That bites

Make sure to bite the b*lls

– _humanpieceoftoast

4. Twist it!

Bop It is a sex education toy

– whatchagonnado0707

5. That’s the button

Women love it when you vigorously finger their belly button.

– iPeeLavaLampGoo

6. Screamingly good

Scream I’m sorry the whole time

– Weddituser22

7. Like the real thing!

Sex looks and sounds exactly like p*rn so try to do it the same way

– the_monkey_of_lies

8. Going in

Start with some light fingering, one or two fingers.

Once she’s wet enough start slipping in more until your whole hand is in then slowly inch your way up to the elbow. You should feel a bit of a tug or pull on your arm by now and that means it’s safe to start the other hand in.

Once you get to biceps take a deep breath and ease your head in. The pull should feel pretty strong by now. Torso usually goes pretty smooth but you’ve gotta be gentle getting the hips in. Then the legs will go easily. Once you’re inside you can start to stretch out and now you’ve got a skinsuit

– Suspiciously_high

9. Learn from my mistakes

When getting a bj, tell her just right before you c*m that you’re about to c*m.

So she takes it out of her mouth but doesn’t have time to get out of the way and gets it all over her face and In the hair.

Absolutely didn’t happen to me at any point of my life, I promise.

– Mueller96

10. The summoning spell

The hole only appears if you sing the entire lyrics to ‘The Ketchup song’ three times beforehand.

That’s what the term ‘foreplay’ is.

– ArmedChimpanzee

11. All the way

Your b*lls go in the condom

– K666busa

12. The flop

Remember that it’s absolutely not about being gentle and caring.

Just flop around on top of them like you’re a cod that’s been dragged out of the depths of the oceans.

– Daviemoo

13. Stay still

Girls you don’t need to move or do any of the work.

Just lay there and think of the flowers.

– [user deleted]

14. Ahhh!

Sex is an emotional experience.

If you’re not sobbing uncontrollably and/or laughing hysterically throughout the entire process, you’re doing it wrong.

– BigBrownBeaver44

15. A real one

Story time!

Disclaimer circa 1995, internet p*rn is not ubiquitous yet, 16/17 years old.

My best friend and I in high school were in relationships with a pair of best friends. We go over his girls house, the 4 of us, and are hanging out. They decide to go to her room for “sexy-time”. A few minutes later I hear my friend hysterically laughing… I’m like wtf… he busts out of the room in his boxers still laughing hysterically. His girl wanted to give him a “blow job”… apparently in her mind that meant something very different than what everyone on here knows it as… she was literally blowing up and down on it, like she was trying to blow out birthday candles. He gently tried to correct her and she vehemently stated that this was how it was done! Needless to say, he got no action and their relationship ended abruptly thereafter.

So, worst advice? Her sister told her a blowjob was like blowing out birthday candles…

– Wgmack

I think it’s safe to say no one should follow any of that advice ever under any circumstances.

What bad advice would you add?

Was a Woman Wrong for Letting Her Dog Push Over a Young Child? People Shared Their Thoughts.

You never really know what’s gonna happen when dogs are around children.

That’s why both parties need to be responsible to make sure no one gets hurt. The most loving dog in the world might snap for some reason and bite a kid.

Or a child might do something to harm the animal. You just never know…

And a young woman took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page to ask readers if they thought she was in the wrong regarding an incident with her dog and a child.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for letting my dog push over a toddler?

“I (20f) have an 8 month old puppy.

He’s generally very well behaved, we’ve been going to a trainer with him since he was 4 months but he’s still an excitable puppy. I have him around young kids pretty often but I have them greet him properly first so they can play safely.

I take him for two walks a day which double as training sessions since he gets really hyped up outside and pulls/jumps which we’d like to stop even though he’s not particularly big and that means we’re frequently stopping and starting.

Today he started pulling near a local daycare, I stopped and he corrected himself so I gave him a treat and we went to head on when two young girls (2f, 4f) rushed over.

I knew them, they’re my neighbours and I generally get along with them so I paused to say hi, letting them know that my dog was okay to pat if they’d let me settle him down first since he gets a little excited and I didn’t want him jumping on them in case they got hurt. The girls seemed to understand but their dad came over and told them to “hurry up and pet the dog so we can go home”.

I tried to explain to him that I needed them to wait a second since he loves kids and if they wanted to pet him I just need to grab his collar and have him sit since he was still in training but he wouldn’t listen and told the girls again to “just pet him”.

So they did and my dog who was getting increasingly more excited about all these people immediately did what I warned and jumped up. The older one didn’t mind to much and let him lick her but the other fell over and immediately started screaming.

She didn’t seem hurt, just startled, but the dad immediately went off at me for having a “feral, untrained mutt” and told me I should never have my dog near kids before stormed off with his kids.

I did try and warn them but I love little kids and I feel awful about her being knocked over, especially since I probably could have grabbed him if I was paying more attention to my dog and less to the dad.

AITA for what happened?”

Here’s how people reacted on Reddit.

This reader said that the other dad in this situation is definitely to blame and that the guy is, quite simply, a d**k.

Another person said this boils down to one thing: entitlement from the dad in this story.

And this individual pointed out that the person who wrote the post tried but the father put his kids in danger by acting like this.

Finally, this Reddit user said that the person who wrote the story was trying to do the right thing and he did everything he could in this situation.

Do you think this woman acted irresponsibly?

Or did she teach this parent a lesson?

People Admit Why They Stopped Going to Church

I haven’t been to church in a long time. Many years, actually.

I grew up in a Catholic household and I didn’t have a choice whether I was gonna go on Sunday or not: it was a requirement.

But I eventually just stopped going after I became an adult…and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. I guess it’s just not for me…

AskReddit users talked about why they stopped going to church.

Let’s see what they had to say.

1. Can’t make it.

“My father lost his job and the only work he could get involved travel, which meant he couldn’t make the Sunday service. Even though my parents gave to the church monthly, all the support we got was ‘prayers that he found a job closer to home’.

As a teen I was also asked by church elders why father thought making money for his family was more important than attending the church.”

2. Very awkward.

“I moved to a new city for university and was doing a bit of church hopping with a religious roommate to see if we could find a church we liked.

At one of the churches I had a “once you see it, you can’t unsee it” moment where I suddenly thought… this is a cult. The church we went to was a really boisterous hallelujah type place and it was very overwhelming so I had gone to the bathroom to try and avoid a full blown panic attack.

When I was in there a few ladies crowded me and were saying I should take the panic as a sign that the Lord was flowing through me. Like… no this is anxiety, it’s a physiological thing.

They really, earnestly believed that I was being touched by Jesus and I couldn’t help but feel like they were brainwashed. It was so awkward and off-putting I lost my faith and haven’t really gone back since.”

3. Bad experience.

“The priest I confessed my sins to was a kiddie diddler and fled the country.My sins were hella tame compared to whatever he had going on behind the scenes.

I didn’t feel cleansed. I couldn’t in good conscience be associated with a religion who refused to protect its own children.

So those hypocritical sickos can all f**k off.”

4. Scandalous.

“My spouse was raised catholic, she’d go to church at least once or twice a month, and would feel guilty if we didn’t go for longer than a month.

Then the scandals happened and she’s had zero interest. She still has her faith in God and Jesus, but has none in religion as an institution.

Which is pretty much where I always was.”

5. Not into the teachings.

“I started to realize the teachings of the church weren’t Biblical. Every Sunday the pastor would talk about righteousness that was really nationalism, and being free from those who are filled with sin, but very specific sin.

We had divorcees in the church and overt racists, but not gay people or former inmates. There were teachings of love, but it was very clear that love was only meant for certain people.”

6. Wasn’t accepted.

“I never felt truly accepted. Everyone was super friendly but it seemed that I couldn’t be accepted in their bubble.

I also felt I didn’t need to go to church to be a religious person. I’ve also been bullied in a church retreat when I was in grade school.”

7. Words of wisdom.

““You don’t need the church to be faithful to god, your body is the church. As long as you to talk to god on your own time and it’s genuine you’ll be fine.

Besides, the church is only there to collect money but when you need money for rent, food, clothes or anything else they’ll tell you ‘it’s god will.’ F**k those thieves.”

My grandmother.”

8. No evidence.

“The moment I realized that in the absence of miracles the proof of Christianity is supposed to be in the lives of those who follow it.

The avg person I saw in church generally was no better than the avg non believer.

So where is the evidence of there being anything to it?”

9. Rather be elsewhere.

“I’d rather spend my Sunday mornings elsewhere.

I also had a hard time the first Sunday after the 2016 election. The person reciting the “prayer needs” said something about the “new era” and I was not a fan of how they said it.

Made me realize that I wasn’t sure I was in the right place anymore.”

10. Messed up.

“My church growing up was kinda messed up. Southern Baptist.

We brought an African American friend to Wednesday night “youth group” and the youth pastor took him aside, told him to leave, and asked him not to come back. That’s just a tidbit into how things operated there.

In college, I just didn’t have time and was kinda turned off from my childhood experience.

I moved out of the south and was invited to a more progressive church by some friends from work. I went but the ritualistic aspects of it—singing, reciting scripture, standing, sitting (I guess bc I was away for ten years) just felt creepy. Also, the people there seemed fake and it felt more like a yuppie social club.

I still consider myself a Christian but have my own personal sense of spirituality and religion. The externalizing of it just feels weird and full of pretense to me.”

11. Toxic environment.

“Because it was a toxic environment full of people who thought they were better than everybody else because they went to church every Sunday.

Despite the fact that they’d beat their wives, get drunk and abuse their children, lie, cheat, and steal. It drove me away from religion all together. Now what’s going on with my brother’s church only reinforces my position.

They’re so quick to preach love and kindness but don’t bother to actually be loving and kind unless it benefits them in some way.”

12. Lots of reasons.

“I hated having some preach AT me telling me my role in life according to the Bible.

I decided I didn’t want someone determining my relationship with God and what it should be.

I got tired of people believing their interpretation of the Bible was the only correct one.

I don’t think it’s a great idea to base morals solely on THE most edited book in all of history.

There are a lot of churches with big scandals like stealing from parishioners, or just being downright super controlling.

It feels like a lot of churches (people too) use the Bible/religion as an excuse to spread hate.

I feel like all religions have something to teach us and are just as valid as the current mainstream ones.

Anything they don’t agree with is, ” the work of Satan” while everything else is either God’s will/test.

Cherry picking what they want out of the Bible.

There are more nit picky reasons, but those are the main ones.”

Did you ever go to church and then stop?

If so, tell us why in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you!
