RealAccountNameHere ( @RealAccountNameHere@beehaw.org ) 85•9 months agoThe story of how a woman lost her daughter because the grandmother didn’t believe that the girl’s coconut allergy was real, despite years of watching the parents trying to find out the allergen so that they could stop the girl from winding up in the emergency room. The grandmother kept the kid overnight and used coconut oil on her hair; the child went into anaphylaxis and died.
The mother said that the grandmother begs her to see her other grandchildren, as they’ve now cut ties with her; the mom’s response was, “You can come over when you bring my daughter with you.”
A horrible story of how some people just believe they know better than everyone, including doctors.
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) 14•9 months agoI have legitimate fears of letting my fiance’s crazy conservative parents ever have our kids alone. To this day her dad will come out of nowhere with a 10 minute prepared speech about how covid isn’t real, which is always followed by the entire family being silent and wondering to ourselves, “who the fuck even asked you anything at all?”

d3Xt3r ( @d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz ) 78•9 months agoNot exactly a story, but a picture thread on Reddit where a guy posts a photo of his tattoos on his arms, and someone goes “how did you take this picture”, so he posts a selfie showing him balancing a phone on his shoulder, and someone replies “wait how did you take that picture” and then he posts a photo of him taking a photo of him taking a photo… and this continues until he reveals multiple complex camera setups. Such a legendary thread.

Mothra ( @Mothra@mander.xyz ) 63•9 months agoOnce on Reddit I read of someone who grew up in a house where they had a poop knife as part of their standard toilet tool set.
This person once found themselves asking for a poop knife elsewhere, casually, like anyone would ask for toilet paper.
I think a commenter called it “the Mashitty” in the replies, which I found hilarious. That story and comment will forever be remembered.
sadbehr ( @sadbehr@lemmy.nz ) 26•9 months agoHell yea the poop knife. His family had one because their shits would block toilets. He thought it was a normal thing to require and have a poop knife but after going to a friend’s house and asking for it, he discovered that it was indeed (Samuel L. Jackson voice) not a normal thing to possess.

I’ve had some “thought I was into this” moments in my life, but thankfully I’ve always started small and worked my way up. Well, with one exception. That was rough. But never anything like that. My God.
