@RSM G4M1NG I would never have guessed tbh

Just care less, laugh at yourself, and have more fun.

I got some bad news my team that I coach didn’t win state

There were numbers 1 through 18 and whatever number they called if you were standing on it you would win a cupcake

Yup

I hated those games cause I thought they were rigged.

I don't like those claw game machines

Claw machines are 100% rigged

Until I was class president and I got to rig the game to give a cupcake to the girl I had a crush on. Then I loved the game.

PFFT

Big mood

that girl learnt a very valuable lesson that day

There was also a game where you through a ball in a bowl and you won a goldfish

Never heard of that one.

I hate the goldfish game so much

Yeah I wasted so much money trying to save those poor fish

I had goldfish for three or four years

They are smart

But also, why win something that I now have to take care of? Like, the reward is a burden? No thanks.

for like 3 seconds?

at a time

Like I cried when I had to give them away. They 100% recognized me as their owner

Like they'd come to my side of the tank and beg for food

They just got so big that it was cruel to keep them

I can feel this on a personal level

It's the fact that the fish are in a plastic bag fish don't breathe water they filter the oxygen in the water and keeping them in an airtight bag is just screaming kill me

I'm sure you'd cry too if your Giant Food God left you

I was afraid I'd stunt their growth which is another reason why carnivals shouldn't have that game; fish grow to the size of their tanks but their organs don't

I once tried to keep a water turtle. It didn't take....and it was a permanent stain on my soul....feeling how soft his shell was when he decided to give up....

ah I didn't know that

Like it's graphic but yeah

@JohnsMyth oh my gosh I feel that

so how do you avoid that? just don't feed them as much?

I gave him medicine, put him in natural light, had a large stone outside the water he could rest on. He still knew that life was over. He crawled up, ignored the food and medicine, and gave up.

Like it feels so bad
Granted my goldfish were fine and I hope they found a good home but I sobbed because I knew I had gotten them knowing the books said not to

And when I had to scoop him up to bury him, his shell was as as soft as his skin. Super sad.

> so how do you avoid that? just don't feed them as much?
@Dante No, just don't get them if you don't have a 40+ gallon tank

ah ok

It's always good to know about the animal you're trying to raise
