I thought that Hitler was German, the Nazis were Russian, and the USSR wasn't a thing.

I will become a real adult at 18. I’ll know what the hell im doing in life at 18. That number seemed to be the answer for lists when I was younger.

That staring at microwaves was life-threatening because microwave "radiation" is obviously radioactive and that mesh doesn't actually stop anything. Because of that, even now, looking really close up at a running microwave gives me a tingly sensation like when you hold a knife to your eyebrow.

Have you never tried that test? I guess it does sounds pretty emo when you write it down like that.

@Afiaki
You need to explain in more detail, because holding sharp objects near my face, especially my eyes, is not exactly something I've ever been curious about.

@justforthelulz
It's not about that lmao, it's about your reaction to danger.
I'm no police officer and I can't remember exactly who told me about it, but it really is the easiest way to test your fight or flight response.

@Afiaki
Bruh, I read both your links and neither of them mentioned anything remotely close to holding a goddamn knife against/to your eyebrows.
Are you sure whoever told you about the knife-eye test wasn't just messing with you?

Same thing has happened to me before (and probably you too). A decent example is that when I lay down and hold my phone above my face, I can sense the possibility of dropping my phone and it smacking into my face, and that possibility makes my face tingle a bit. I'm basically Spider Man.

I would hope not! There's a lot of people on the internet who can't even cut vegetables properly, it shouldn't be widespread information for their sake.
As for the person telling me about it, I believe the statement sounded dubious to me at first (naturally), but what they were saying was immediately verified because the effect was actually real.

Anyway, it's just a sensation of danger. You've got to have something mildly dangerous to trigger.
The fact that microwaves also give me that sensation because of those thoughts as a kid is hilarious to me.
