I...I-If you mean to ask whether I've tried it on willingly and on my own, the answer is no.

Have you ever mistakenly looked at an answer in someone's exam paper and decided not to attempt the question because of that?

[penrosecat]

No, I usually look and derive pleasure from their mistakes.

Have you ever let someone cheat off your answers in an exam?

[pokari]

Nope, I've never been presented with the opportunity, either. I don't think I would want to get along with someone who wanted to use me to cheat, so I don't think I would let them (If it was someone I already got along with it would be very troubling.)

Have you ever been slightly troubled by the ethics of a fondly remembered childhood activity? (At the moment I'm thinking of catching fireflies and putting them in jars, or catching lizards... That sort of thing)

I'm sure there's more, but the first one I can think of off the top of my head is setting off firecrackers on Diwali.

Have you ever lent someone your shoulder to cry on?

[penrosecat]

No, people don't approach me with their troubles anyway.

 

Have you ever slid down a slippery slope?

[pokari]

Yes, be it literally or figuratively. Luckily I've come out okay so far, I think.

Have you ever looked at a child causing lots of trouble and thought nostalgically, "ah, that used to be me"?

[penrosecat]

Hmm, I have. There were a bunch of kids playing with a ball and that was really nice. But, more frequently, I have looked at children causing trouble and thought nostalgically, "ah, I didn't know as many bad words at his age. Also, this guy is not scared of bearded adults at all, how is that possible."

 

Have you ever had a midnight snack?

[pokari]

Of course. Actually this past year they've been sort of mandatory (my ailing stomach, whatever is wrong with it, frequently starts to hurt in the middle of the night and can only be appeased with food), but I enjoyed them from time to time before that too.

Have you ever driven a bus or other oversized vehicle? (I haven't, myself)

[penrosecat]

No, but a 'friendly' person allowed me to almost drive one when I was a little kid.

 

Have you ever thought "Heh, I'm really good at this..."?

[pokari]

Yes, and I've learned to treat it as a warning sign that I'm maybe actually not owo

Have you ever in one of these (or similar) posts sat there and tried to remember whether you've already asked the question you're about to ask, before?

Edited by pokari, 20 March 2018 - 07:13 AM.

[sjoe]

Yes I have; in the Would You Rather and Into It threads. But probably not in any of the others.

Have you ever had tears in your eyes while reading a manga?

[penrosecat]

Yes, when I was reading this. I don't remember if there was actually something worth crying about, but I started reading at 12 AM and finished by 2 so maybe it was just my eyes begging me to go to sleep. Edit: Also during onani master Kurosawa. I remember reading it but not really getting it, without wanting to read it again. I just felt so bad for the guy. I’m glad he ended up okay.

Have you ever squished a scary (to you) bug?

Edited by penrosecat, 20 March 2018 - 04:11 PM.

[pokari]

As for myself, I cry when reading manga all the time. But I'm a big crybaby.

If you count spiders, then definitely yes. I'm pretty genuinely terrified of black widows (which are pretty much the only "dangerous" bug where I live unless you have bee-sting allergies or some such). The feeling is mutual so we don't run into each other much, luckily, but...

Have you ever made ice cream?

[penrosecat]

Nope D’:

Have you ever played so much your muscles started hurting and you couldn’t do anything for the rest of the day?

[pokari]

Yup, more or less. Only very rarely have I wrought them such that I felt I couldn't do anything for an extended period, but I definitely remember the sensation.

Have you ever inhaled helium and used it to speak in a funny voice? (This is still on my to-do list.)

[penrosecat]

No, I haven’t. You can use sulfur hexafluoride gas for the opposite effect, a really deep voice.

Have you ever made up a word?

[pokari]

(Sulfur hexafluoride sounds a lot scarier than helium XD (helium is nice because basically nothing short of some florene stuff and such(?) is ever going to be able to react with it, so it seems very safe))

Yes, both intentionally and accidentally, but none of them were especially memorable or likely to catch on.

Have you ever flown a kite?

[penrosecat]

No, I hear the kite strings can get painfully tangled up.

Have you ever thought about your distant future self?

[penrosecat]

Yes, mainly hoping that I’m one of those handsome old men.

Have you ever entered into a room just to forget what you went in for?

[penrosecat]

Yes, every day.

Have you ever snatched victory from the jaws of defeat?
