(if our bodies had such a thing, what life event did you accidentally or voluntarily do that would qualify?) It could be funny, meaningful or serious!
abso-fucking-lutely every bet I took in high school
"Bet you can't stay up for 7 days straight."
"Bet you can't drink this entire 2-liter of Mountain Dew in under 60 seconds."
"Bet you can't do a backflip on the DDR machine."
etc.
Definitely at 13 when I went flying down a hill on my Razor scooter (remember those?), broke my arm, and drove a tooth through my upper lip
I truly wonder how many millions of dollars Razor contributed to the US healthcare billing system.
I'd argue that doing HRT would be one of those things that's not covered under warranty but should be. I mean, they built this thing as a modular assembly, so they could make a few model iterations, but then left a lot of the adaptors open and easily accessible to suitably tailor this thing if the base model left you dissatisfied.
So I'm going to go with that- Everything else is still on-paper as OEM-approved, but as soon as they spot that I've modded out my hormones, suddenly my regular 100k inspections and maintenance gets a more expensive and official garages don't want to deal with me (metaphorically, mostly)
Let's just say it either happened at a hotel in Reno, or at a party that was half Burners and half furries.
When I was 12, I went to a summer camp where I mixed up the grossest suicides (combining every drink available) like, daily. Had to have my appendix out at the end of the week.
Well, there is the HRT, those 2 times i got hit by a car and walked it off, the time i fell off a cliff, that time I almost sliced a finger off. Huh... I should just make a post listing this stuff.
Edit: I want it noted that I have been asked on multiple occasions "How are you not dead yet!?" The answer is pretty simple. I have no idea.
hello, yes, nys here. very interested in the cliff story.
also this gives me the sagittarius vibes of “i’ll probably be ok if i accidentally slip off this cliff”
It was a thing in college, the Geology field course. We were in Zion National hiking a trail, but 100 feet up. Get bumped out of the way by one of the other students. Dropped clear to the bottom. landed on my feet. Got sent back home the next day, they used it as a reason to send me back, were trying the whole trip. "Didn't follow proper safety procedures, gotta send you back, you could grt someone hurt!" Really should have sued them.
Best part is, a week later, all but 2 of the 10 chaperones were arrested for stealing bones from a national dig site.
Yeah. My life feels like a tv show sometimes.
As a toddler, I climbed up a dresser to reach a television, and the entire setup fell on me.
...Apparently I was unharmed somehow, but I'm pretty sure I'd be fucked if I tried to submit a body warranty claim with that on my record
funny/serious answer: HRT
serious/serious answer: having my nose broken at age 13 and never doing a damn thing about it. there's a story behind this actually: it was winter, i got into a snowball fight and ended up throwing a snowball down some girl's shirt (i was aiming for her but not there specifically), and she just fuckin decked me so hard i nearly fainted from blood loss. still have a deviated septum to this day!
