#2 I don't remember the manga anymore, but I read one once where the author's afterword for it showed a super fucked up early version of one of the pages that they drew on waaaaay too little sleep. It was funny.

#2 When books were typed the original manuscript had errors, changes, typos etc. There are academics that study those. These days, a change is forever lost.
Understopper
#23 I absolutely do that.
Not only that but I re-read some of my favourite books every couple of years and I occasionally find new things in them that I haven’t picked up before, in spite of first reading them back in the 70s and 80s.

#2 The Cradle series by Will Wight has bloopers starting at book 4 or 5. It's great.

#2 a friend of mine was reading a series of books (no clue what it was called, sorry), and it features outtakes at the end. He'd occasionally send me screenshots. Here's one he sent me - he said the premise of the book is about a space wizard. /a/6BzVnB4

#28 I've only ever played one of these games, angry bird, and the sum total of time spent is easily less than 30 minutes. I have, however, spent COUNTLESS hours on the coin pusher game. So, yeah.

#25 I found a spider-man shaped bong a while back, so when I next bought weed I jokingly asked what their most "Spider-man" weed was. Without missing a beat the girl at the counter brought me some "Venom OG". Better service than I expected.

Budtenders are amazing. IDK why they removed the author and date from that tweet.

#2 as someone who’s done been an editor. And read original scripts… you don’t want this. The entire manuscript is a blooper.
trigonman3
Hyuck!
cuttlefishsticks
I mean, movie blooper reals aren't really every single unused take either, but some typos lead to especially funny results. Like that time I accidentally wrote "We ate your family" instead of "we are your family"

#9 I don't know why but if I'm high in public, strangers tend to approach me and we start talking. Made some good friends that way and a girlfriend too. If I'm not high I'm anxious as fuck so maybe I just seem less approachable that way but I just don't know what's different about me from the perspective of others. And by high I mean "Literally took a ritalin I was prescribed", but being calm and clear headed is a high for me. But it also happens on coke (not that I do it often) although -
demoncatmara
- I don't use coke very often because expensive and super unhealthy
Does this shit happen to anyone else or just me I wonder

#17 If anyone's wondering, four wolves were brought in in 2018 and another batch of 11 wolves was brought in 2019, and based on winter studies done in 2023 the wolf population of the island is now thriving with around 30 wolves now living on the island making up at least two distinct packs :D

#6 you mean a NES game cartridge. I've never blown a DS card
TanktheAlmighty
Thank you. Inwas going insane trying to figure why they said "ds" like ds, 3ds, and switch don't all use a slightly differently shapes SD card thing with exposed connections....gotta go back at least to N65 or GBA for that cartridge style....

GreaseMonkeyOfLove
I wasn’t allowed tv on school nights + I was speed reader, got 100 a month on a regular basis. But it only took 5 books to get a free pizza
moffit
i remember doing it. i was always coming home with stacks of books when we visited the library, to the point where i was trying to find interesting things above my age level or w/e. i'd take them up a tree, under parents' waterbed, in the attic.. wherever i could to get away from siblings.
sayessathe1st
I read enough books for the MS read-a-thon to win a TV, and those assholes said there was no way I read that many. Mom told them I did and could tell them about every single one, but they wouldn't give me the TV. So they promised a prize they'd never honor, basically, and I told everyone their scam for years and years. I wanted my own TV in my bedroom (this was in the 80s when they weren't cheap)
moffit
oh i absolutely would have gone to the local news and radio stations if they pulled that kind of bullshit on my kid

#23 if it's an intense book, then totally.
MamaRosie
Sometimes if a book is repetitive or it's like.. super obvious where the next thing is going, I occasionally skip over paragraphs.

I have ADHD so yes I do this with whatever book

People who feel you're going to somehow beat them by adding to the conversation are treating a conversation like it's a competition. They're best avoided.
FrenziiTheSuccubus
This is the only way I know how to communicate
DryPuns
As one whose trauma tends to be more severe than the rest of the room most of the time, I genuinely, truly love when people try to relate to me with theirs regardless. I genuinely want to hear how your mom yelled at you one time, regardless of how mine treated me. If my brother's dad, who was in the vietnam war, says my ptsd is just as valid as his, then I can cherish that you shared your bad times with me, no matter the scale. Venting trauma should be about shared experience, not competition.
DryPuns
I feel it's also important to point out the word 'trauma' here. How one thing affected one person is going to be very different from another. Getting yelled at by a parent for dropping your ice cream as a child could genuinely be as traumatic as an adult getting abused by a partner. It's also dependent on the growth stages of the brain at the time of the trauma. The human brain is weird like that. We should all appreciate and care for each other.
RayneOfSalt
I'm kinda curious about the idea of competitive conversation though. And the inevitable speed-run tournaments. Conversation Any% No Glitch Run?
picklesue
There are so many conversations I wish I could speedrun
AbdulMasaiev
...isn't this a neurodivergent vs normie thing though? The normies being the ones who tend to see the "I relate and understand what you're saying very well. Proof you can believe when I say that: [description of personally encountering a similar situation]" story as one-upmanship since they just don't understand it for what it is (having a faulty internal frame of reference) and so default to "you are trying to make this about yourself"?
cadesama
No, not really. It's a lot more about tone and length -- and yes, this is going to be a bigger breaking point than the actual behavior.
atleastIwasnt36
They don't care about your story. They want to talk about themselves. Usually
justiPumpkinTaker
It's a difference in how people perceive the world and whether or not they are neurodivegent usually. They are saying I understand how you could feel that way, here is a time I felt similar and sharing their experience trying to connect
LicensedAdHominem
Then they should get a rubber duck instead of wasting a real person's feelings.
AuryxBecauseWhyNot
Ngl I struggle with anxiety from this. I find myself internally debating whether talking about how I relate is going to be perceived as me just making the conversation about me.
mangosaredelicious
Sometimes ppl want to just vent, so if I try and relate a story and they're a bit quick to get past it, then I know they would like an ear instead
CatShadowleaf
I've heard a lot that's it's a neuroatypical thing.
Iseeyourpointandraiseyou
As long as you're actually listening to the end, and not just waiting to talk, you're OK, I think. When someone jumps in as soon as you take a breath, that's when you know they don't care about your side of the story.
MrsHowVeryDareYou
As long as you pointedly steer the convo back to the original storyteller, you’re good. Like, say your anecdote, and then, “so that was my experience, but tell us more about how you….”
demoncatmara
I get this too, we really should just stop worrying as we're not trying to make the convo about ourselves and they're probably not even thinking we are, I mean I hope not

Every kid who owned nerf growing up 100% took a bite out of it. I never knew a kid with nerf who hadn't.

It specifically says chewing though.

Multiple things can happen to the football.

KiwiGameDev
#31 the two camps of people: You want to be consoled “Aw man, that’s terrible. You wanna grab something to eat?” and someone offering their similar experience feels like an attention grab away from your request for aid, like when a boss says “I used to work double your hours, grow up”. On the other hand, you have team “I’m struggling with this problem and feel so alone in this”, if you tell them “that sucks, wanna grab something to eat?” They feel you’re deflecting and have nothing to offer
LicensedAdHominem
This is why people should state their preferences. Otherwise they're making assumptions, and it's douchey. I'd say the burden is on the person initiating (i.e. ranting) but it's ideal if the listener asks if not stated. The worst part is there's a stupefying number of people who need a rubber duck, not a person with feelings, as they assume (and not state) you'll just sit there and listen, and get annoyed if you even ask.
cadesama
I get that everyone wants to distill human relationships to basic types to make it easy, but it's not easy. There are a lot of types and moods and the same people with the same friendship may need something different each time.
KiwiGameDev
I’d say you’re correct, and it’s not perfect (all systems are broken, some are useful) but I will say, as a baseline to start from it’s saved me a LOT of headaches and undue frustration from people I met. Until it was pointed out to me, I couldn’t fathom the other side of this argument. Why would someone want to rant about their problems and just hear “sorry dude, that sounds terrible” like yeah, I know that, I wouldn’t bring it up if it wasn’t bothering me.
Oogibah
There is more than two camps. I would never say "I worked double your hours grow up" but I would convey that I've had a similar experience to show that I understand how they feel. It has absolutely nothing to do with one upping and everything to do with trying to empathize.
KiwiGameDev
Exactly, you’re camp #2. It’s just that saying it can come across to be the same thing to people on the other side of this. It’s like ask Vs guess culture, the other is almost insultingly different and incompatible, even if no ill will is brought
SayRamrod
thought i was in camp 3 but maybe youre right, it will always be taken as a version of camp 2. life lesson.
Oogibah
It may be misconstrued as version 2, but it shouldn't be. There are people who legitimately do try to one up people to talk about how much better they have had it or how much worse they have had it. They are not the same.
Oogibah
I have no idea what ask Vs guess culture is or if that's a typo idk.. but tone should indicate whether the person is trying to be empathetic vs trying to show superiority. These are not the same thing. It's like saying the people who do fake rescues of animals by placing them in bad situations for youtube likes are the same as the people who are literally out there saving animals.
KiwiGameDev
It 100% is different, and I’m not trying to imply that trying to empathise with someone by sharing an anecdote is the same as trying to one up someone with an anecdote, im saying there’s a cohort of the world that will not differentiate between the two, and to them they’re the same. I spent YEARS upsetting people and I had no idea why. I was doing my best to explain that, while not the same scenario, I had a similar one and wanted to offer any assistance I could. Until I was told of the other
KiwiGameDev
side of this I simply couldn’t even fathom people who didn’t want to be related to, they just wanted blanket support.

I did that while reading that very paragraph
Superchief86
I do it all the time, but I go back in small chunks. Like I think I don't need to retry the whole lot. Maybe just the previous five words is enough. I get back to where I originally skipped to and realise nope, still not enough. So I go back a little further and repeat.

With ADHD being so much more commonly discussed these days, I see more and more evidence that I probably should have been tested as a kid.
januskincaid
Definitely is. I've been diagnosed since I was little, I do this constantly.
feryooday
I do this and I have GAD and BPD
pyroshen
Yep. The whole thing is ADHD relatable content . Source: I am
demoncatmara
I was about to say the same thing! So many people have ADHD and don't know it, I've always been able to tell (I know because these people all got diagnosed with it after)
It has it's good side of being able to hyperfocus on an interest (also an autism thing but many people with one will have the other too), unfortunately I can't focus on most of my other interests
laceyfayce
Same! And it's not just the space out thing, I literally get ahead of myself
pyroshen
Uhhhh this entire dump might be an ADHD indicator.

Are we talking about the caught up imagining and extrapolating version or the one where you start scanning for keywords because you need to know what happens next and can't wait for silly things like complete sentences anymore?
wizard07ksu9000
I literally managed to do both of those while reading this comment. I'll add I also occasionally just totally disassociate and start day dreaming while reading something. Usually only happenes when I'm not interested in the material. Like with textbooks. And manuals, or man pages. And the note on where that 10mm is...
mrnomoniker
I get the first one. If I’m excited about what I’m reading my brain just starts thinking about it and going down rabbit holes of alternate possibilities, I get detached from what I’m reading and have to reign it back in.

Agreed! Sometimes I just can't wait to get the next part but others it's like, there is attention to detail and world building to over saturation (I know what I mean). I do this a lot with Koontz, he gets going and doesn't know when to stop lol
