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.
Never have I ever read a single book or watched a single movie of the Harry Potter series.
Reminds me of this exchange between Leslie and Ann from Parks and Rec.
Me neither. Other millennials look at me like I have two heads.
Yeah. My partner later said it was almost a deal breaker when I first told her.
Hey that’s me too. I’m surprised to see that many upvotes …
More upvotes should mean that most people in fact have seen the movies or read the books
Ah yes true, there is a full convo in this thread about understanding what upvotes mean in this situation, I’m still confused 🤔
I have never drank alcohol, despite persuasion from friends. I consider it unhealthy. Chemically, it’s a poison, and a “hangover” is the process of removing the poison.
You are very right in every aspect of this. It’s a poison, and it kills hundreds of thousands every year.
I definitely wouldn’t suggest that people need to run out with friends and drink copious amounts of alcohol. A night at the bar can be fun, but keeping that as an activity that a friend group commits to repeatedly isn’t a healthy setting (for instance alcoholism effects 10% of the population).
That being said, there are a lot of constructive uses with alcoholic beverages such as cooking and really unique flavor profiles. Some of the mixtures that are 90%+ non-alcoholic have interesting tastes that you just can’t recreate without the alcohol changing subtle differences in what’s present. Definitely respect your choice not to drink though, just throwing this out there as a healthier alternative than binge drinking for those who do want to try.
One semi-accidental food discovery I made is when you are sauteing onions and mushrooms, put a dash of soy (or even better liquid aminos) and then when they are almost done throw about a shot of red wine in and simmer it out. The combo brings out so much flavor that it’s almost overpoweringly good!
Some alcohol cooks off when used this way, but not all. Be cautious when cooking for others to mention this so non-drinkers can make an informed choice.
It can be a delicious addition though: alcohol dissolves flavor and aromatic compounds that water and fat cannot, so you get a lot of unique flavors especially from barrel-aged drinks like whisky and wine.
Hangover is mostly dehydration.
I’ve heard that hangover comes from the fact that most alcohols have two kinds of alcohol in them and your body processes one very quickly and one somewhat slower, so The hangover comes from the slower alcohol.
That being said, being well hydrated can help your body flush out the slower alcohol faster and prevent or reduce hangovers
If your drink has more than one type of alcohol in it, you need to go to the ER. Methanol is horribly poisonous, and it is not a pleasant death.
You are correct. I got the terminology wrong, there’s alcohol and then there’s acetaldehyde, which is a breakdown molecule of the alcohol.
Too much acetaldehyde can intensify the effects of a hangover and it takes longer to flush it out.
Drinking more water can help dilute the acetaldehyde or improve your body’s ability to flush it out, but there is no singular hangover cure other than to not drink so much that you get a hangover.
I have never ridden a horse.
Never have I ever attended a middle or high school
Homeschooled or just not educated?
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade except for 4 months of first grade.
Funnily enough I have a masters degree and work in a public school
Maybe that’s bc you’re just not as traumatized by them as the rest of us.
Story time? Seems so crazy
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade with the exception of 4 months of public school in first grade.
Same here, it would be impossible since middle schools don’t exist where I’m from
Yeah I wasn’t sure how to word it because I know that different places have different naming mechanisms. But from 6-18 years old I was homeschooled. There was a co-op or two where I technically did classes with others, and I did a year of Cyber school before it was cool but most of my education came from me self-teaching from textbooks and “curriculum”.
I’ll be flabbergasted if thats true. Need story plz
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade with the exception of 4 months of public school in first grade.
Hey same! Nothing lower than that either 🙃
I was homeschooled from first grade with the exception of 4 months in public school for first grade
I’ll start:
I have never been inside of a treehouse
Sad but not unlikely. Lots of people never lived near nature or had a garden. Let alone a large tree.
Being in a treehouse is common?
Looks like 101 people have been in one so far.
I have been inside lots of trees, but I can’t think of anyone I know who has actually bothered to build or buy a treehouse
Inside??
Never have I ever watched/read anything relating to Lord of the Rings.
Oh yeah well how did you spell it?
I was going to post this never have I ever. I plan on watching it eventually one day. It was one of those movies that got mega popular before I learned about it. I think seeing it everywhere and seeing all the memes makes me care less about seeing it. I
I just don’t have any motivation to watch it now. There is so much streaming content to watch. I’ll get to LotR when I get there.

Never have I ever drank coffee
I’m throwing the bullshit flag on this one. Never curious? Never saw a frappuccino and tried it? Never just experimentally had a sip out of curiosity? I’m not buying that.
Growing up I watched my mom drink cup after cup and then let her anxiety run rampant. Told myself I wasnt gonna touch it. I don’t even find the smell appealing.
My greatest joy in life is learning new things. I have never, ever had coffee. I’ve never been interested. Just simply never cared for it.
Maybe one day I will, but it hasn’t happened yet
You aren’t missing anything.
have you ever eaten an egg?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
do they not have eggs?
Do you like Gladiator movies?
Yes, although not for a long time
I’ve tried to drink coffee a couple times. I never was successful at it. My body just hates something in coffee and it just comes right back up before even hitting my stomach. So, I guess it’s gone down my esophagus, but never further than that.
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 hahaNever have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o
Never done any recreational drugs.
Is that including cigarettes and alcohol or are you only talking about the ones that are federally illegal?
Never smoked a cigarette, but I do try a drink now and then. I find the phrase “drugs & alcohol” relevant here in that they’re different categories.
they really are not.
Yeah they are. One is less hassle, comes with no stigma and therefore no stress. “Why yes I have had a drink, officer, but just the one.”
Also if you’re a lightweight like me, you reach your limit at 2 pints. With cannabis? Who the hell knows, the quantities and potencies are still being standardized, and if you want to mix a lighter load you have to mix in more tobacco which is another stimulant.
No thanks, I’ll have my brown lake water with 3% alcohol mixed in please.
no stigma has nothing to do with anything. people do die from its usage (or the consequences of its usage). It is more toxic than a lot of other “harder” drugs. It can ruin lives and break up families just as well. we’re talking about what it is, not how it is perceived. I am also not implying you should smoke weed instead. Everyone has their drug of choice. To each their own. But make no mistake, it’s a drug nonetheless.
That’s why people smoke it. You can feel how high you are with each puff and can control it easily.
Weed may be strong, but it isn’t fentanyl. One toke over the line is not the danger zone—even less so than one alcohol shot over the line.
It’s not for me. I don’t know why, but it makes me loopy. With beer, your liver builds a tolerance to it over time and your mind learns to not say certain things when under the influence. With weed, that tolerance is 100% mental as far as I can fathom, and I’m just too weak-willed under its influence apparently.
The tolerance isn’t totally mental, it just takes longer to build and recede than alcohol does.
To each their own though, not trying to pressure anybody.
Apples and fruit. Cement and building materials. Giraffes and animals. Alcohol and drugs.
Calling bullshit
Why? I’ve just never been interested on altering my mood or perceptions using an external source. I don’t even like the effects of alcohol.
I think it’s so cool to see what happens to your brain with the effects of various chemicals. We’re so convinced of our own sanctity, and feeling the world differently just disavows you of that in a few minutes.
I think LSD should be a common coming of age right. We’d all be better off, and better for each other, if we could realize we’re each just a tiny blip in the world.
From what I’ve learned about LSD and psilocybin in popular science they do sound like effective tools for depression, PTSD and enhancing creativity. I don’t have the means or the will to try and get it or experiment with illegal substances. I think therapies should definitely be developed around their application though. A coming of age right would also be very interesting.
Never been so blasé about your life that you opened your friend’s parent’s medicine cabinet and recklessly took whatever prescriptions you found in there in a desperate attempt to get high and escape reality?
Good for you!
Is it OK to feel sorry for you? The thought of doing this has never even crossed my mind. People would describe me as a very optimistic and happy person though. I guess I just don’t need any drugs for escape, although I do enjoy jumping into a video game and beating up some bad guys. Dynasty Warriors is great therapy.
I feel sorry for who I was.
But I escaped all that, and I have a lot of family and love and caring all around me now. Drug free for decades.

Never have I ever said lol.
What about right now?
I have said the word roflmao with my mouth hole.
Do doo do-do-do… Roflmao
I have never dated a woman.
Only interesting if you’re romantically attracted to women, though.
*Never have I ever dated another person of my preferred biological sex or orientation
Same 😞🚬

Never have I attended a high school prom, dance, or graduation
Dang it. I had it to the very end.
No prom no dances but I did graduate and attend my graduation.
I was the only one that graduated that year because I went to a small school and I worked ahead and so technically I was valedictorian and also technically every party I go to is a reunion party for my graduating class.
Are these a normal things in the US or just a movie thing? Because we didn’t have that
What country did you go to school in?
Prom: no. Graduation: no (graduated early, didn’t walk in the summer even tho I could)…but lotsa regular dances.
I’m sure these are just things from the US. The only reason I know what a prom is is because of TV. Before that I only ever heard ‘prom’ as an abbreviation for promenade
Never have I ever seen Titanic.
My job during the release of that movie was to hold the box of tissues in between my girlfriend and her mother.Well, that and not crack jokes or point out plot holes. I was successful but really it didn’t like the movie and still don’t
I have seen it in a sneak preview, I think I wouldn’t have watched it otherwise.
See a picture or video of it counts to me.
What if I watched the entire porn spoof?
Did you get wet while seeing the Titanic? 😎
So you say that seeing a frame from a movie is equivalent to seeing the whole thing ?
Yeah, von mir aus! 😁
Never learned to ride a bicycle.
Upvoted! I learned how pretty young, but I have a few friends who never did and they have told me that the main thing holding them back as adults is the fear of falling down. Is it the same for you?
Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.
So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.
My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, “how can you drive a car if you can’t ride a bike?” Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: “a car has 4 tires and is stable.” I was seven years old.
Not who you asked, but the main thing holding me back is that I don’t know how to kick off and don’t know how to balance. I’m surprised how many people just kinda know how to do it
Never have I ever seen The Lion King, The Incredibles, any Toy Story movie past 2, or WALL-E.
My friends hate me for this one
At least Wall-E ;-;
Have some dignity and go watch The Incredibles right now.
