Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I once won a 5kg Toblerone bar (picture below for reference). I used to really like Toblerone, one of my top 5 chocolate bars, untill I won that one, I couldn't give it away to people, we had one block left that we let our "pet" mouse eat and even he bailed on it.

If you really really like something, don't try and win a large amount of it, you will hate it by the end.

I really feel for you mate. Your greatest joy became a chore.

That's why I hate when anyone says, "Find a way to get paid for your hobby and you'll never work a day in your life." No, all that does is ruin a fella's passion for something.

I mean, chocolate is toxic to mice so that would make sense

He gave it a good old go tho, he ate about an inch off the top.
