What is a secret that you will never tell anyone in the real world?

Hell, I wouldn't tell it here as well. It's going to the grave with me.

But maybe you could explain the secret of your username? Is it unicode for the chinese word "乏" which means poor/tired? Is it some magic number or boot signature? I need to know!!

No.

It's just NO in hex... sorry the mystery isn't deeper.

Oh right... I went into full conspiracy mode when it should have been pretty obvious. (Or maybe you just want us to believe that...)

Maybe... but I guess you'll never know.

Hmm... if you convert each byte to little endian floating point, you'll get a latitude/longitude of 1.09301/1.10702. And those coordinates lead to a point right in the north atlantic ocean. Is this where you hid the body?! gestures wildly

Same. Nothing super earth shattering, but sometimes it's good to let sleeping dogs lay asleep.

I actually don't have secrets. All the worst stuff I have ever done, the most important people in my life know about. They don't know I'm seriously in CNC, but that's not because I wouldn't tell them. But because they wouldn't want to know.

Yeah, that might fly with friends, try your family or your wife.

Well my wife did it with me (as does my girlfriend now). But I wouldn't tell my family because they don't care.

I killed a circus clown in a Wendy's parking lot in 1996.

Do I just upvote this post if my answer is the same?

Asking for a friend.

I generally disagree with murder, but I'm terrified of clowns, so I'm super conflicted about this.

Thats odd. I once found a dead circus clown in a Wendy's parking lot in 1996. I fucked the body.

You know, one time I also found a deceased man in clownish makeup in a Wendy's parking lot in '96. Had his pants down. The strangest thing.

I had the strongest need to urinate, and I inexplicably pissed all over this dead clown.

I think about it constantly.

Unfortunelately I will not tell that to strangers on the internet either

I’m certain that I am some degree of polyamorous. But I’m in a 10-year monogamous relationship and feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place

Might not be to late me and my wife of 12 years are starting talks of this.

If you don’t mind, how did you two even start that conversation? I’m afraid to bring it up because I know the knee-jerk reaction will probably be a lot of hurt feelings and misunderstandings

She brought it up first. Key thing is being open and honest and setting clear boundaries that both people need to follow. Trust is the biggest thing to keeping things good.

That I am an anarcho-communist.

I thought you were a house painter.

Have you taken you turn to act as an executive officer for the week?

I'm terrified of heights. No one knows. I'm great at faking it.

So am I. I took rock climbing lessons. It was one of the hardest things I ever did. Eventually I lost the fear and felt awesome. Stopped climbing for years and now it's back. Fuck.

That is interesting how it went away and came back. Putting me on a ladder almost paralyzes me. I have to block the world out and focus on breathing in order to finish the task I got up there to do. .

Exposure treatment works. It sucks but it works. You just have to keep chiseling at it slowly but constantly. If you keep it up for long enough you will realize that feeling is almost gone when exposed to heights. The key here is being relentless at exposing yourself to what scares you (safely). In my mind, I just thought my brain was getting bored with always being scared and it just kinda went away. About a year in I went from not being able to walk on the hallway of the 4th floor of my college building to actually sitting on the railing (like everyone else). The thing is I wasn't faking not being scared. I was genuinely not scared.

That was me too. Now I'm good up to about 2 stories high, which is how high the climbing gym was.

It was scary and there were definitely times I abandoned a climb because my legs wouldn't stop shaking, but you eventually learn to trust the ropes will save you and push through the fear. It was 100% worth it.

Why don't you tell people?

When I was a kid, when you told your fears, it was greeted with responses like, "that's silly, you'll get over it. Now get up that ladder and paint that wall. "

I see, that sucks. But maybe it's worth trying opening up again with certain people. Not everybody is like that.

Not never, but at least for a few years (hopefully not my entire life): I'm transgender. 😞

To whoever downvoted this, I hope you have a five day bout of constipation.

As a man who had this once I sorta hate you right now for reminding me about it but mostly I agree

Ok, downvoting, just because you told me I can't

I downvoted for the cringe usage of emojis.

Sorry not sorry.

Stupid, I know. 😅

When I was about 11 I found roadkill, put it in a mailbox close to my home, watched from the window, and laughed when the mailman screamed.

Oh so we're going to try and carry on the tradition of fishing for people's dark secrets on here now too? Lame.
