i was born into a very poor family. my mom couldn't afford formula, and even had to sell all of her breast milk to pay for my diapers, so she would put my own piss into a baby bottle, and feed that to me / and that's how it all started
A Bear Grylls Loneliness post.
The office runs out of milk. Gareth, who did a weekend bushcraft course in 2019, says he'll improvise. He's back in ten minutes with something from the vending machine and the face of a man who has done things. At the festival your friend insists he can last three days on one bag of crisps and rainwater from his hat. By Saturday lunchtime he's paying £14 for a burger and drinking from someone else's hat. Your cousin posts "just me and the mountains" from his solo hike. The photo is taken from fifty metres away, from below, by someone flying a drone. Just him, the mountains and a crew. A twenty-minute power cut. Your dad has a head torch on, the tins sorted by date and a plan for collecting water off the shed roof. The lights come back. He looks disappointed. **Why it caught on:** Bear Grylls, the British adventurer and former SAS reservist, drank his own urine on his Discovery Channel survival show Man vs Wild, and the internet decided that was his answer to everything. Everyone knows someone who reaches for the survival option while the shop is still open.
