I tell people I don't use social media at all but I'm actually on the Fediverse.

As a kid I was too afraid to go down the stairs to the bathroom at night, so I peed in the humidifier instead

I caused ~$100k damage to my middle school.

I am going to fuzz some of the details for obvious reasons, but when I was in 8th grade, I was dealing with a chaotic home life and had just moved for the 3rd time in 8 years across the country. I hated the school and didn't really have friends so developed some destructive habits.

Our physical education teacher was a lazy, creepy, moron who would force us to run laps for an hour which let him sit in his office. He'd berate kids and give them mean racist nicknames and if you refused he would give you an F for your midpoint report which meant you couldn't participate in any other sport or extracurricular activity the school sponsored. The class was half the grade at a time so it was over a hundred kids including the disabled kids and sometimes would just leave us unsupervised for an hour. At one point he crudely encouraged on two kids with downs syndrome make out, which they did while he watched and laughed and made fun of them. Just an evil spiteful man.

So before and after class we had 15 minutes to get ready so I would go around the locker room and find anything that would fit in a toilet and flush it. Towels, clothes, backpacks, food, pencils, paper - all of it in the toilet. They had insane flush power so would violently suck it all down and I thought it was just funny. I did it off and on for a month.

One day we heard gym was cancelled and then the school was cancelled the next day because of a facilities issue. Apparently the gym flooded pretty badly. We had to start having gym outside. Then after a couple weeks we had a school wide assembly and the superintendent was there and explained that a group of people had been flushing stuff down the toilet and they had to do a massive, emergency plumbing project that cost them $100k+. They were super mad and told us they already knew almost everyone who did it but if you come forward you won't get expelled. Yeah, sure.

Anyway, I had no friends and no one knew I was doing it so I just didn't say anything and got away with it. Also, a few years later the gym teacher was fired allegedly for some sexual misconduct issue.

I will probably get downvoted for this but anyway; I cheated half my university years, 2 of the 4 years. This was in the Coronapandemic.

What contributed to my decision back then;

• Professors that did not want to actually teach.
• Online classes that were a disaster.
• Was not allows to ask questions in online classes but only in physical ones.. But there were no physical classes at that point.

I refused to let my parents visit me for my 40th birthday.

The legitimate reason as that Dad is disabled and the journey is too long

The reason I gave was that I still wasn't over calling them out over favouritism when I stayed with them over Christmas.

The actual reason is that even before Christmas I had decided I would celebrate the big 40 by hiring an escort to finally lose my virginity.

I draw porn sometimes. No one I know will ever see it and those who do won't ever know I did it

I voted for the right wing party once.

In my defense I had just turned 18 and had no idea what I was doing.

I quit paying taxes when trump was elected. No representation? Cool. You’re not getting a fucking dime from me.

I stole so much candy from a candy factory when I was about twelve that I had candy for a whole year. 🍬

I'm a diagnosed sociopath. It's one of my deepest secrets since the condition has been so demonized and I'm terrified people will just treat me like a monster despite all the effort I've put in to try to live a normal life.

You first. 👀

I belong to this weird online community where people show up and think they have these great ideas that they want to share with the world, most of them are ideas that have been implanted in their minds from prolonged exposure to some other social media experience 🤫

Nice try

I like to jerk off while wearing a dress. I'd tell a partner if I had one but that's it.

I've told people that I hated my father since I was like toddler. Nobody ever believed me. They just lecture me that I don't really mean that.

Not really a secret I guess, but it's just something that people refuse to believe because I guess it goes against their 'family is always love' nonsense.

Also I did a lot of vandalism when I was a pre-teen. not really a secret either, but folks who find this out about me get really offended and upset, i think because they think I'm some uptight straight-laced person, mostly because I don't drink or do drugs for awhile now. I did do a lot of booze and drugs from 16-20 though.

Middle school me only felt positive emotions when 9/11 happened

There was that one time I...ooohh...you almost got me!

Nice try, American agency!

Always acted like I never had Reddit when anybody asked. I did. I was involved with NSFL subs. (Makemycoffin RIP)

I use fit-girl repacks

I use lemmy

The reason I got banned from reddit. I tried trading my account with someone back then, and likely got a permaban for that reason. Reddit never told me why I got permaban, but it's likely the reason.

The reason I tell everyone is that it's because I was the moderator of the rule 34 subreddit of my country's prime minister( which I actually was).
