        In the first grades when teachers asked my class to order words based on the first letter, i either managed to figure out which letters came sooner in the order based on previous answers, guessed randomly or got lucky and didnt get chosen(its also been a while since then and i dont remember)

        After that, the only other time i needed to know the order of the alphabet was for an IQ test which was required to be diagnosed with Aspenger Syndrome, where i just randomly guessed

        I also managed to not learn left/right for years, which caused more problems, but i managed to learn it thanks to the english political compass(every time i need to know which direction is left/right, i have to think of an image of the political compass to figure out which direction is right, translate that in my native language, check if the direction i needed was right and if not, i know its the opposite direction. I also dont know how to directly translate between left in both languages, but knowing that its the opposite right. I know right because of its second meaning that is present in both languages

          That’s fascinating how you learned all the letters but never put them into an ordinal system. Definitely presents an alternate thinking mechanism than I think most people use. Must have been very tough on you in school as most schools don’t handle people who think differently very well.

          The left/right thing is probably much more common. I think it’s interesting how you use the political compass as your visual reference. I for a long time couldn’t remember which political party was left or right, but found I was very good at just ‘knowing’ left and right, as well as the cardinal directions n/s/e/w. My friend who was horrible at telling left from right would hold up both hands and extend his index and thumb. Whichever hand formed an “L” was his left hand and he used that all the time.

              I’d say most people would learn the alphabet and the order together. The order (and song) is a helpful mnemonic to learn the letters faster.

            I always hated the advice to make an L with your hands to see which one was Left. No one ever specified whether you’re supposed to have your palms facing you or facing away, so it’s ambiguous.

            When I was a kid, I would picture a dining place setting because I knew the fork was on the left.

          Left and right I have to think about, but North, South, East and West I can always find. I learned to read before learning the alphabet, but learned it with the song.

    My brain always hurts when playing never have I ever, something about the wording just inherently confuses me every time. The upvote/downvote addition makes it worse haha

    Never have I ever been to a wedding! Looks like my own one will be the first I attend :o

    Never have I ever lived alone. Only with my family, then on the street (less alone than you might imagine) then with friends, then with lots of friends, then a few friends, and then my own family.

    Damn, I scrolled through comments upvoting interesting comments and only after that did I find out that I was supposed to use downvotes as a part of the game. And there I was confused why there’s ao much downvotes. Lol

    Never have I ever read the rules of this game.

      Peanut butter is weirdly American, but as an American, I can’t believe other countries not only aren’t obsessed with PB, but often don’t even like it. Wtf world. You’re missing out.

          Really? Wow, what part of the world are you in?

          Every Central American I know actively thinks it’s gross. In Germany, peanut butter (when you can find it) has a huge American flag on the jar, and most Germans won’t eat it.

      The jelly isn’t gelatin. It’s like jam I guess, I don’t know what they call it in other countries. I feel like some folks think we eat peanut butter and gelatin, which is wrong.

        I think the difference between jam and jelly is how much pectin is in it, or one has chunks of fruit and the other doesn’t? I don’t really know. I don’t like either of them.

          Jam is made with pureed fruit, while jelly is made from fruit juice. Colloquially, though, people use the terms interchangeably constantly.

      Same, jam/jelly & peanut butter have two wildly different tastes & textures. I have no idea what lunatic decided to put the two spreads together but PB&J sandwhiches sound about as appetising as cranberry haddock

      I honestly don’t understand why people smoke this stuff. cigarretes & vapes smell horrible, there’s not even that many things to compare it to but its like car exhaust but worse. & I just can’t get why people smoke things like marijuana. Exactly what’s the point? Doesn’t it basically turn you into a zombie temprorarily or something like that?

    Never have I ever eaten a hamburger/cheeseburger/steak

    I purposely don’t because it’s an interesting talking point for breaking ice.
