Here’s the rules:

1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.

Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.

    I’ve never had a close family member or friend die. I have siblings, they have families. Both my grandparents on one side are alive, the other two died when I was an infant. I have dozens of cousins that are all in good health. Closest thing was my spouse’s grandpa. I’ve been phenominally lucky.

      Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

      Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

      But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

        That’s awful :( I genuinely can’t imagine how painful that is.

        I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been, and that it’s only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I’m going out to visit soon. I tell myself “Someday in the near future, I’ll wish I could come back to today.”

        In the first grades when teachers asked my class to order words based on the first letter, i either managed to figure out which letters came sooner in the order based on previous answers, guessed randomly or got lucky and didnt get chosen(its also been a while since then and i dont remember, i only remember that once that i was hoping i wouldnt be picked while looking at the previous exercises and planning out what random guesses i would say for the order i wasnt sure about)

        After that, the only other time i needed to know the order of the alphabet was for an IQ test which was required to be diagnosed with Aspenger Syndrome, where i just randomly guessed

        I also managed to not learn left/right for years, which caused more problems, but i managed to learn it thanks to the english political compass(every time i need to know which direction is left/right, i have to think of an image of the political compass to figure out which direction is right, translate that in my native language, check if the direction i needed was right and if not, i know its the opposite direction. I also dont know how to directly translate between left in both languages, but knowing that its the opposite right. I know right because of its second meaning that is present in both languages

          That’s fascinating how you learned all the letters but never put them into an ordinal system. Definitely presents an alternate thinking mechanism than I think most people use. Must have been very tough on you in school as most schools don’t handle people who think differently very well.

          The left/right thing is probably much more common. I think it’s interesting how you use the political compass as your visual reference. I for a long time couldn’t remember which political party was left or right, but found I was very good at just ‘knowing’ left and right, as well as the cardinal directions n/s/e/w. My friend who was horrible at telling left from right would hold up both hands and extend his index and thumb. Whichever hand formed an “L” was his left hand and he used that all the time.

      I’m not your dad, but I’m proud of you. The absolute least I know about you is you don’t mind admitting pain, so I’m proud of you. 🫂

    meta: I think you should invert the rules, so that if you have done it, you downvote. The winner with the most votes is then the rarest of them all

      If you have done it you upvote. If you have not done it you downvote.

      The point is to be the person with the most upvotes because you’ve not done a thing that most people have done.

      That’s what OP is saying. The wording could be clearer.

      Essentially, if you can relate to what the comment says, then downvote.

        Can someone explain this to me?

        if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it.

        So if someone says “never have I ever eaten food”, then I, a food eater, upvote it, right?

        I think you and I share the same mind, but different eyes.

        If someone says “I never shot a hippo”, then right now I will down vote (because I haven’t shot a hippo), so then if it gets upvoted…

        OHhhhhh. It just clicked for me. Yep, you’re right. It makes sense

        Either my reading comprehension has been turned to dust or you didnt read it

        2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it.

        As in: Upvote, I have not done that thing

        Edit: Seems like I can’t read. I think it’s called double negation?

          The problem is that the “thing” is either:

          • never have I ever done this <thing> or
          • <never have I ever done this thing>

    My brain always hurts when playing never have I ever, something about the wording just inherently confuses me every time. The upvote/downvote addition makes it worse haha

    Never have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o
