Not long term bad choices, more like you did something then immediately thought "oh no why did I do that"
Mine is, while trying to cure hiccups I decided to take a shot of apple cider vinegar. This works almost immediately, however I then notice I have indigestion from it and decide to eat a tsp of baking soda.
The realization of what I did hits me a millisecond too late as the baking soda goes down my throat and 2 seconds later I become a human volcano spewing the entire contents of my stomach all around my kitchen sink with a surprisingly intense force. I was basically firehosing.
Anyone else have one?
when i worked in the lab back in the day we used this dye called crystal violet which was used as a stain to show up bacterial colonies etc for experiments. incredibly intense dark purple dye and we were always told about how intensely fucking toxic it was (even by the standards of shit you keep around a lab), and the sort of thing you always work with in one of those lab fume hoods with all the precautions etc
one weekend i was doing some shit in the lab on my own, and needed the crystal violet but noticed the current batch of the concentrated stuff had gone all clumpy and precipitatey. shook it up a bunch and decided to just filter it with a really big syringe with a little filter that twists on to the syringe nozzle. and cos its the weekend and im lazy and i really dont want to be there, i dont bother going over to the fume hood to do it and just do it on the bench and i didnt both putting goggles on either. very thick and clumpy and needed a lot of force on the syringe plunger to push the stuff through the filter, which eventually flew off and with a whole bunch of force a whole load of intense thick purple liquid dye sprayed all across the lab and also all over my face.
first thought was oh jesus fuck ive just killed myself with some slow agonising death from all this toxic shit on my face, and im also gonna die looking like the worlds dumbest idiot with bright purple dye all over my face that will never come off. fortunately there were actual showers at the labs (not just those emergency ones) so snuck up there and fortunately with enough scrubbing the shit all came off. spent half the day cleaning all this dye off everything in the lab and told absolutely nobody since i knew someone would go ballistic if they found out. people were finding weird purple spots around the place for ages though lol. anyway turns out on further reading yes the stuff is kinda nasty but nowhere near as toxic as wed been led to believe, and 10 years later im still alive with my face not looking any more shitty than expected from ten years of aging so i guess i got off kinda lucky?
also once someone offered me $20 to snort a line of salt, 0/10 would not recommend
