i think one of the best parts about being a teenager in the early to mid 2010s was that cigarettes were definitely not cool anymore and vapes hadn’t popularized yet so my lungs made it out of my peak impressionable years relatively unscathed

my friends and i do an annual camping trip to freedive and spearfish on one of the outer islands like Tl’x’óy7ten or Lhéwqemeng, but last year we decided on a smaller island where we don't usually stay overnight. I was the only one with Friday off and it was going to storm Saturday so I went out a day before everyone else to set up camp before the rain hit. that night i was the only person on the entire island, along with my dog. we slept in a hammock in the woods by the sea, and everyone else joined me in the morning.

that second night, we hiked the entire island, and found we were still the only ones there at all. not unusual because of the weather.

well on the second morning, I got up and saw raccoons had gotten into Little Bird's dog food and all of my snacks. I assumed raccoons, anyway. I was bummed and confused because I kept all of the food in bear/raccoon proof containers that had never failed.

my friend, a fun but very no-nonsense outdoorsman, said "are you sure you didn't leave it unlatched last night?" I said, "I didn't get into it last night." He said, "Late last night. You did." I was confused, and he told me that he woke up to pee at 2 AM, at which time he saw me, sitting at the camp table, eating something. I said, "That wasn't me," and he said it was dark so he'd actually only seen a silhouette that he assumed was me because it couldn't have been our other friend, who was asleep beside him in his tent. It was also too dark to see that I was still in my hammock, with Little Bird.

At this point I became visibly alarmed because not only was I not awake and eating in the middle of the night, but my hammock was hung directly above the table, so anyone sitting there would be just a few inches below me while I slept.

What also bothered me was that I trained Little Bird specifically for solo backcountry work and that includes alerting to approaching wildlife so I'm not caught off-guard by bears in camp. I'm a feather-light sleeper as it is, but I sleep better knowing she'll hear something before I do. But she didn't alert to whatever got into our food, just inches below us.

We decided to let it go, because what was there to do or say? But that night I couldn't sleep until I moved my hammock to another spot. Sometimes I think about this and I'm just like well, what the hell

An Easter egg in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe that is extremely situational and thus easy to never experience during regular gameplay is that Piranha Plants on the tracks will actually eat items that are thrown at them. Note the Shy Guy driver throwing the banana toward the Piranha Plant and it eating the banana with a unique animations.
