general Have you ever tried an internet challenge?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

Please don't try them

Some previous internet challenges that have exploded in recent years:

- "Ice bucket challenge" : Poor freezing water on yourself

- "Tide-pod challenge" : Eat a laundry tide-pod

- "Mail yourself challenge" : Mail yourself in a large box to your address

- "Coronavirus challenge" : Lick a public bathroom toilet seat

- "Cinnamon challenge" : Eat a spoonful of ground cinnamon and don't drink water for 60 seconds

- Others much worse than these

 

Nope, I'm not an idiot

My girlfriend at the time dared me to do the cinnamon challenge when that was a thing a long time ago, so I did.  That was the first and last time I ever did an internet challenge.  Not worth it.

The ice bucket challenge kind-of had a normal reason. The others, well, I guess they were an attempt to increase the average IQ of the world. I wonder when there will be "drink antifreeze challenge" or "eat rat poison challenge".

No, I have not participated in any of them, I have better things to do than show to the world how stupid I am - people may believe that I am stupid - but why give them the proof.

OTOH, dumping a bucket of cold (room temperature, or cold tap temperature) water on my head after sauna is kind-of nice.

 

Can someone explain to me why someone would willingly lick a toilet seat without getting paid a huge pile of money?

Nah I’ve never tried one. But I liked watching the “MLPForums pie to the face challenge” that used to be done . 

Several internet challenges are created to raise awareness for a cause (like the ice bucket challenge and ALS) which I think are a bit of a different thing than the stupid ones people do for no reason other than to get attention.

I tried the Nutella challenge way back in middle school, where you have to eat an entire jar of Nutella in an hour without drinking anything (it actually might be half an hour, I don't remember). I don't think I even managed to get halfway.

[Steve Piranha 29,429]

Nah, got better things to do with my life

[Sonic Shimmer 4,133]

No, burning holes in my oesophagus with detergent pods or filling my lungs with cinnamon dust isn't really my thing.

I am not a YouTuber looking for more views, so no.

[Justin_Case001 4,900]

Lol.  Some of those are very funny.  I love the mail yourself challenge.  That's hilarious.

Ironically, probably the least likely way you're gonna get covid, unless someone recently sneezed on the seat.

But no, I haven't done any internet challenge.  What do I look like, an idiot?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

I just looked up more of these challenges there are some that are insane and stupid

[Jesse Terrence 2,969]

Haha, nah, I got at least an inch of forehead like to try anything like those dummy challenges. Most are either health hazards or nearly illegal.

Haha I mean at least the ice bucket challenge was for charity. And the cinnamon challenge is blegh but not so bad compared to some of these oof like who in the right mind licks a toilet seat or eats a tide pod. I remember the lick ice cream challenge too yuck. But yea i never done any I seen someone i know do the ice one and the cinnamon i know of a youtuber i use to talk to did it.

[EpicEnergy 23,222]

I don't think I've ever tried an internet challenge before.

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

No, I've never had any inclination to do any of those past internet challenges, and I don't have any inclination to do any future ones either! 

[Cash In 22,456]

Nah, I'm not brave enough to do any of those. If it counts for anything, I did shove a pie into my face on video for MCM.

Does the Polar Bear Challenge count? (Not that I did it!) My husband tried to talk me into doing it with him last winter. I flipped out! I actually said "Do you even know me?" I HATE going into water even on nice warm summer days! I haven't been to a beach or pool since I was like ten! He went and did it, and I watched, safely on dry land!

There are people in my country who, in winter, go cut a hole in the ice and jump in the water. This is supposed to be good for health, if I translated their name into English, it would probably be "healthies".

The mere thought horrifies me!

There was also the saltine cracker thing. But no, I’m afraid I’m too wise to be doing that sort of tomfoolery. I can laugh about it though.

[Splashee 28,566]

Is this what Markiplier is doing to get more subscribers? I think I saw him in a bathtub full of ice a few years back (click bait thumbnail of course)

[ExplosionMare 18,073]

No but I watch people do them if they don’t look life-threatening. My cousin did some sort of “eraser challenge” once though and I was mad that he did it (basically you have to use an eraser on your hand until it bleeds).

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

The only one I did was the Ice Bucket Challenge which is the least dangerous internet challenge in my opinion. It also was meant for awareness for ALS

[Lucky Bolt 35,070]

I have not. Unless you count that one where you flip a water bottle and try landing it upright.  I failed it

[Sasoriman 139]

What about the blackout and wasabi challenges? I never attempted those or the ones mentioned, but I swear those were things.
