FrenchToast [#12]5 countries is so cool
which ones may i ask?
Yeah idm
I was born in the UK
Lived in Pakistan for over like a year (spread over a span of 5ish years)
Moved to Oman for a year
Moved to South Africa for 3 years
Then Saudi Arabia for 3 years
Then back to the UK where I am now
I moved around a lot during my childhood since my dads company moved him around, but then I moved to the UK with my mum to make sure my studies don’t get interrupted
Also those 3 years in South Africa I went to an American school, so I developed an American accent which you can still hear when I speak (I was like 9 or 10 in ZA, and I’m now 19)

i feel so bad having an american accent as a brit is just unfortunate 😢
saebr [#15]can you explain why it would be busier than usual? people drinking a lot of alcohol for new years?
It’s just what I’ve heard tbh, not sure if it’s actually true
But it sorta makes sense, and yeah alcohol probably has something to do with it
FrenchToast [#25]i’ve never had a cloudberry 😭
i guess we’re even lmao
I wonder if they go together. I've seen strawberries with french toast so it could be possible
cameran [#11]uhh i played piano for 8 years which is the only cool thing
i play the piano too!
it’s so beautiful
z12 [#24]i feel so bad having an american accent as a brit is just unfortunate 😢
are you craving attention z12?
1243 [#19]you got cleared by man and brocc my guy
i cooked man once broc was gone bro it was just having both of them that owned me
z12 [#24]i feel so bad having an american accent as a brit is just unfortunate 😢
I went to a private school from year 7-11 so we had a few people with American accents so it was kinda alright, although I was the only British national with one
Whenever I’m speaking to someone new they ask me if I’m American, but when I went to Canada on holiday people said I had a British accent, so I guess maybe it’s a relative thing
bronzil_enjoyer [#29]are you craving attention z12?
no i dont want to go to bed but i also dont want to do anything else so im just replying to every fucking comment on the most active thread rn
Gemiknight [#30]i used to think that hot pockets was western slang for burning a lot of money on useless stuff. took me till i was 15 to realize that it was a food brand.
pepperoni hot pockets slap
1243 [#40]at one point you get satisfied no? how many shoes can you even crave?

but you can always have more shoes
they just go with different fits and all that
number2_cNed_fan [#41]that was an easy sri lanka icl
sri lanka was easy but these mfs were guessing accurate streets
I am slowly bulding up an army of children to take over the world as their king.
(not really)
Ive worked with lots of kids as a tutor, babysitter, and camp consulor and one of my favorite bits is too refer to myself as King (My Name) and refer to them as my loyal servants=which they love-they love making swords/shields/knives/crowns out of paper and having pretend fights for my honor-so somewhere out there theres around 100+ kids who refer to me as King (my name)--(I have later seen many of these kids in public that have run up to me reffering to me as King and asking if they can do anything for me)
cameran [#45]thats great, which artists?
mostly classical artists like vivaldi
and anime songs lmao
bronzil_enjoyer [#44]sri lanka was easy but these mfs were guessing accurate streets
i mean it was just the middle of sri lanka. Could be a lucky guess!
unknown_trash [#55]Interesting fact: I've been in a coma for three days before. Random fsct: if you scaled an atom up to the size of a football field, and the nucleus was an apple in the centre, the innermost shell of electrons would orbit in the seating areas.
that was a very interesting fact, both the interesting one and the random one, thank you. whats it like being in a coma? like a dream?
saebr [#56]that was a very interesting fact, both the interesting one and the random one, thank you. whats it like being in a coma? like a dream?
Actually, it happened when I was 4 years old so not much memory of that. Interestingly, my most vivid memory is of the time I woke up from said coma in the hospital. I remember the sounds, the lights, the details of the windows, the colour of all my surroundings and how BRIGHT everything was for the first couple of seconds, and how long I lay there before anyone realised I woke up (it was around 2 minutes). Not many of my memories appear in my mind in colour, but that one does. Also my memories from before I went into a coma were almost wiped I would say. I remember much less of my early childhood than most other people, despite me having an insanely good memory. I do remember vividly the night I was admitted to hospital though, which was only a couple of weeks before I slipped into a coma. Very strange. But no, no memories of the coma, but if I had to describe what it felt like, it was like floating in a dark water filled pod, you know the sensory deprivation tanks? Something like that is the only description of what little I remember of it.

yeah that's fucking crazy. that must be pretty traumatic. i remember i almost died when i was like 6-7 from drowning in a pool that's probably one of my most prominent memories. how much of early childhood are we talking? because i don't remember much either, maybe like 5 standout memories from age 9 and below so if we're speaking that range i have to be in the lower end as well. also, not really too related but i wanna throw it in because i've been noticing more recently but i have TERRIBLE time recollection. things that happened a year ago, i may think happen like three years ago. or if i think something happened like five years ago it happened maybe a year ago. people keep correcting me on this it's crazy how many times it has happened. i think it's due to covid
sensory deprivation tanks
no ngl that's kind of an obscure analogy idk what it feels like to be in one 😭
thats fucked tho. i was hoping it was a little more recent. i've been getting more interested about people's near death experiences / hard drugs and usually they try and describe their version heaven. just wanted to see if you had a story like that to tell :)
tserc [#60]I don't want to change my username, but I watch vcj a lot just like IonlywatchvcjXD.

Yeah sorry I don't really remember the details of it because I was so young. It happened due to a severe asthma attack I had back then. I still don't really appreciate the gravity of the situation. My parents were infinitely more stressed about it than I was. According to them, I was quite calm and tranquil before it happened which was so confusing, and I got really lucky because the doctors moved me from the ward to the intensive care unit just before it happened. If they didn't, I would have come out of that with at least some brain damage, if it didn't kill me. It seems so surreal. I talk about it like it happened to someone else because I still can't fathom that I went through that. Anyways, it's an interesting story that I can use as an icebreaker if I need to. Other than my health conditions, I'm a very boring person 😅
To answer your questions about my childhood; after my asthma attack, I can remember hundreds of memories between the ages of 4 and 10. However, I can only remember around 10 or 15 individual specific memories from ages 4 and below. Ik most people don't tend to remember ages 1-3 anyways, but it's still so strange that from the moment after I woke up, I can recall so many memories but almost none from before. Idk though, it might just be coincidence. But yeah my long term memory is very strong, as many people around me irl have confirmed over and over again. It's so good that I often find myself correcting my parents and older brother about things that happened when I was younger, and I constantly reminisce about times where certain experiences I gave had when I was older have reminded me of things that happened when i was much younger from like a decade ago.
Clucker [#47]I have never cucked anyone, hence i put the L in cucker, this results in clucker.
ok, this is a crazy origin story for a username
pokemon tcg player. hope to move out of america as soon as possible because as much as i love this country, it feels like a default location. ie a great place to grow up but not exciting enough (for me at least) to sustain me for my whole life. i really hope to live somewhere else for my late 20s and maybe even 30s before returning to the us.
i LOVE watching the most ass shows in the world its so funny and is nice thing to do when i get overwhelmed or stressed out it slowly taught me to not take life so seriously and most of those shows are mind numbing too so its chill asf
i learned english as a 2nd language passively while watching yt in specific i used to watch the annoying orange as a kid

1243 [#72]can you list some of the shows you watch?

i would but most of them are so mind numbing i forget about them as soon as i am done like when you finished ur exams and comeback after your break and have no clue what anyone is talking about when your looking for a show think middle school girl's favorite drama/romance or a show that gets a insane amount of hate for being cringey/bad look for shows with alot of seasons and kids shows that are made for legit 5-8 yr old
KClaw [#69]I really like video games especially pc ones but I don't have a good enough laptop or pc to play that's why I am trynna figure out a way to earn money, I am really interested in one piece tcg but they are too expensive for me to buy
buying a good pc in whole sa region is quite difficult becsuse of how costly they are as compared to most pc gaming countries .Facing same issue hope we both solve it soon this no part time culture in here makes it more difficult .

"It feels like a default location" is so relatable, man
flanador [#75]On my first hospital shift after graduating, I had a patient code blue 2 hours into my shift and did compressions.
Sadly they didn’t make it. My heart was fucking racing the whole time.
Holy shit, I hope you’re handling it okay, that’s so tough to deal with. I hope their family is doing okay and handling it well, may they rest in peace🙏
number2_cNed_fan [#53]i lied i wasnt eating a cookie

Laundry [#79]Holy shit, I hope you’re handling it okay, that’s so tough to deal with. I hope their family is doing okay and handling it well, may they rest in peace🙏
This was a while back for me, but the adrenaline rush had me shook for some minutes. Nowadays I'm sort of numb to these situations.
May her soul rest in peace 🙏
