I wish Digimon were still a thing, or at least a thing within the price range of a stocking-stuffer

What i tell you now must never be repeated to my parents. I will deny every word, except for the latter part that resulted in me burning a hole in the driveway since they already know about that.

When I was a teen, I spilled some gas on the concrete floor of the garage while filling up the lawn mower. I thought to myself, "What's the fastest way to clean this up?" Clearly the fastest option was to burn it. This did in fact work and produced a controllable flame, but I had neglected to move the closed plastic gas can away from the puddle of gasoline. As it turns out, plastic is made of flammable petrochemicals. The outside of it immediately caught on fire.

I realized that if the gas can lost structural integrity, gas would flood the garage floor, likely setting the whole structure ablaze. So, I picked up the flaming jug of death and ran out of the garage, setting it in the middle of the asphalt driveway downwind of any important structures. I now had the task of putting out a gasoline fire. How could I do this? Obviously, the best way to put out a fire is to spray it with a hose. So I grabbed the garden hose and aimed the nozzle at the melting jug of death.

This did not work. As it turns out, gasoline floats on water, and as such spraying water on a gasoline fire simply increases its surface area. It roared like a bonfire and the plastic can rapidly collapsed. Additionally, it turns out that asphalt is mainly composed of tar, which is a flammable petrochemical.

At some point I realized I had no idea what I was doing and called the fire department. By the time a fireman arrived, all that remained of the blaze was a smoking hole in the driveway the size of a small child, which was extinguished with a handheld chemical extinguisher.

My dad, at the time, was in charge of the safety training at the local chemical plant. My attempt to extinguish the flaming jug of death made an appearance in one of his PowerPoint slides as an example of what not to do with an oil fire.

I did a lot of exploration of my own identity and self discovery as a kid, and was very disappointed to find that I am cishet man and average in every way conceivable.

What a waste of my wonderful, accepting parents! I should at least have turned out as trans girlfailure bottom as a courtesy. Instead all I got was a clear view of what exactly my white privilege does for me.

I'm asking for extra eyeballs on this. The picture of Sir Guy Standing sitting has been changed to one that makes the clarification that he is seated less necessary.

The caption of this picture is one front of a battle for the soul of the internet, and it's a battle that we've been losing for a long time. I believe that people shouldn't have to segment parts of themselves off for the sake of "professionalism"; the world would be better if we all accepted each other as whole people, and humor is a part of what makes us human.

I do take issue with this. Indigenous hunting practices are not really all that sustainable, they're just done in smaller amounts so the waste is less visible. We have the opportunity to use technology to live more sustainably in our environment; corpos just don't want to invest in that.
