Never have I ever bought a new smartphone, PC, or laptop.
Never have I ever eaten shrimp
Me neither. I just can’t get over it being a giant bug.
I haven’t eaten it just because I haven’t gotten around to it, kinda like how I haven’t gotten around to eating McDonald’s until a month ago (im 18)
Never have I ever attended a middle or high school
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.
I was homeschooled from first grade with the exception of 4 months in public school for first grade
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.
Actually just a primary schooler /j
Hey same! Nothing lower than that either 🙃
Never have I ever drank coffee
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.
Surprised by number of upvotes. Would’ve thought more people drink coffee than read Harry Potter
You aren’t missing anything.
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.
Maybe one day I will, but it hasn’t happened yet
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.
have you ever eaten an egg?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Do you like Gladiator movies?
do they not have eggs?
Yes, although not for a long time
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.
It is unhealthy but it makes you relax and have fun if not drinking too much. Also it makes people horny which is a plus sometimes.
I also don’t drink more than a few beers every few months, but if I lived in a warm country, I probably would. It’s very tasty when it’s hot.
oh wow, I’m usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I’m not interested in a drink because I’m just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I’m tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).
Sure you have tried a cold beer when it’s hot? That bitter cold taste is amazing when it’s hot and cools me down for sure. I wouldn’t have any sugary drinks when it’s hot though, just makes me thirsty.
I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I’m working all day and sweating my ass off though I’ll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.
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.
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 have I ever said lol.
As a Dutch guy this one is auto fail as lol means ‘fun’ so we use it a lot unironically
I think it that case it must be within english context
In that case: lol
I have said the word roflmao with my mouth hole.
Do doo do-do-do… Roflmao
What about right now?
I’ve never had a close family member or friend die. I have siblings, they have families. Both my grandparents on one side are alive, the other two died when I was an infant. I have dozens of cousins that are all in good health. Closest thing was my spouse’s grandpa. I’ve been phenominally lucky.
Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.
Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.
But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.
That’s awful :( I genuinely can’t imagine how painful that is.
I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been, and that it’s only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I’m going out to visit soon. I tell myself “Someday in the near future, I’ll wish I could come back to today.”
Never done any recreational drugs.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 have I ever clogged a toilet. Second flush has always been enough for me
So I guess the poop knife hardly ever gets used in your house then.
WHAT IS THE POOP KNIFE
It’s a knife you use for poop
Never have I ever understood why people care so much about sports or teams or whatever.
I also don’t understand. Sports are legitimately boring.
Only subjectively though. I love many sports and find many others pretty boring. Fans of those would disagree, of course.
Even to play?
The only sport I enjoyed playing was soccer. Everything else I was forced to do against my will.
i felt the same way, but then i took a look at esports and something just clicked.
Okay, but “never have I ever understood why X” is just turning “never have I ever” into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.
Maybe. I struggled a lot with how to word this, because I honestly feel very much like an outsider about this. Never have I ever felt like shouting after a sports play? Never have I ever felt like one team was more “mine” or whatever? I really do feel like there’s a near-universal experience here that I’m not part of.
Sports are just soap operas for men. What will happen next? Who will get traded? Who will be benched vs played? Who will get injured? Which team will throw a game at a critical time? Find out next week!
Never have I ever as much as tried anything you can smoke (cigarettes, joints, shisha…).
I honestly don’t understand why people smoke this stuff. cigarretes & vapes smell horrible, there’s not even that many things to compare it to but its like car exhaust but worse. & I just can’t get why people smoke things like marijuana. Exactly what’s the point? Doesn’t it basically turn you into a zombie temprorarily or something like that?
Doesn’t it basically turn you into a zombie temprorarily or something like that?
No
Tbh I think I can understand why people do it. For some using various substances are a quick and simple way to relax/numb unwanted emotions/etc… Some start because of peer pressure. For others it’s just learned behaviour (you’re more likely to become a smoker if your parents are).
Personally, I’ve never as much as tried cigarettes because it just never appealed to me and I had mostly non-smoking friends and family. But I definitely have other bad habits I shouldn’t have gotten into and have trouble getting rid of, so I get the feeling.
They mess with your feelings and/or perceptions, to pretty much cover all the bases. Generally, people try them because of peer pressure or curiosity about a potentially interesting experience, and keep using them because they enjoy the experience. Or because of more peer pressure and addiction, in some cases.
does a single edible count?
I hope you’re not smoking your edibles. They are intended for a different manner of consumption.
Damn, I scrolled through comments upvoting interesting comments and only after that did I find out that I was supposed to use downvotes as a part of the game. And there I was confused why there’s ao much downvotes. Lol
Never have I ever read the rules of this game.
Lies! You read the rules, just not as soon as you should have.
Never have i ever been between jobs since starting work after leaving school
Hah! This chump left school.
Yeah haha, and have been back since to get a degree and hated it just as much. Really affirmed the choices i made as a young man.
I’d like to tell a story about “never have I ever,” because my house used to be a popular spot for college parties, and was known for its extensive bar and fun times, so often that game was played. And when some drunk fellow-student would suggest we play “never have I ever,” I would say, fine, we can play, but please don’t use this as an excuse to say something you are extremely embarrassed about, and quickly drink. I would then tell a story I had heard about a guy who said “never have I ever killed a deer and then fucked it,” and not only quickly drank, excitedly called out all the other guys from the hunting trip that they all should drink too. I hoped this was a very clear example of what not to do.
Nope. “Never have I ever” was always an exercise in more and more embarrassing admissions until someone lost their mind and the admittee slinked away in shame.
People admitted giving blowjobs in fast food parking lots. Sex with people at the party. Sex with a dog.
Yes, reread that last one. You would think the deer example would rule that one out, but no, some people will do anything to drink something they were free to drink anyway.
Ok I wasn’t going to play but after reading this: Never have I ever had sex with another species, dead or alive.
So funny thing. I grew up in a town near where “Mr. Hands” met his fate. My sister was a cop at the time and went over to the police station shortly after completely unaware of what had happened and didn’t understand the looks she got from them when she asked “how’se it going? Anything new?”
Like, fucking what?
I never heard of that story somehow. Here is the reference for everyone
Jesus fucking christ the people you met in college were animals.
Hopefully at least one was a dog.
what the fuck
