Mekka lekka hi, mekka heiny ho!

Whew! Glad I got that off me chest!

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Tell my wife I said "Hello".

[–] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

What could make a man go..... neutral?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago

Not much really, maybe not telling my partner how to maintain the tank for our axolotl.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 9 points 10 hours ago

I doubt I'd regret nothing as I would be dead.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Having said or having done?

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

A bunch of fuck you's to a bunch of people.

I haven't said them because I'm not interested in the drama that would follow.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

I love you
I never said it because I never felt that way about anyone. My family doesn't count.

[–] Nomad 1 points 5 hours ago

Maybe you are an avoidant type?

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

Curious. I love you and I never even met you.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago

Apologies to some people. Haven't given them because sometimes it's not the right thing to just pop back into their life. Giving them no contact is the next best thing to telling them I was wrong and that's what they'd prefer.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago

“And there we go. I’ve successfully stolen all of Elon Musk and JK Rowling’s wealth and used it specifically to donate to transgender youths charities.”

I haven’t said it because I have yet to accomplish it.

"I am recording this message as testimony in case I die tomorrow April 20th 2026. It is not an accident. Johan the noisy upstairs neighbor who throws cigarette butts onto my balcony and yelled at my kids for laughing too loud may have poisoned me. Do not let him get away with it."

[–] LemminNewbie@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like you better get him before he gets you.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Nah, he's harmless. I just want to cause him problems post mortem.

[–] muxika@piefed.muxika.org 26 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I love you, Dad.

We're low-contact and he's had some health scares. It's a sensitive relationship, but I still love him.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Say it to him now. No time like the present.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 6 points 12 hours ago

Just for causing anarchy... Tell your mom "I love you dad".

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

None, I speak my mind

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

Telling my family the passwords for my bank account. Should be pretty obvious why I haven't said it yet

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Maybe not bank accounts but I might like to share some of my online accounts; places where I stored brainstormed ideas and such.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Just make a will?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

i don't think they're supposed to make transactions with your online account after your passing, may be seen as fraud, must go through probate court instead. if you got joint account owners, they can uses their passwords to make transactions

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 7 points 16 hours ago

That's something you'll never have to do. In fact you shouldn't do that. The money will be passed to next of kin like other property. Whereas if the family member transfered the money out it would be treated more like fraud.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've said enough. Sometimes too much. I'm more likely to regret what I said, but I've pretty much made peace with myself and my mistakes. What's done is done.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

This. I barely have a filter as it is!

[–] nis@feddit.dk 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"I won the big lottery?!"

I haven't.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Lottery culture is insane now in my country, britain. I was raised to never engage in gambling but they now have lotteries you can enter for free and ones that your neighbours can enrol your neighbourhood in. In many ways, britain still tries to be capitalist HQ

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Is it insane? Never bought a lottery ticket and I don't think my parents ever did either. I don't think I know anyone who buys them on a regular basis, my partner sometimes gets a ticket when there is a big one? I don't really know how it works but that is the impression I get anyway.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think I know anyone who buys them on a regular basis

Seems to be a lot of peope that do the postcode one, and the fact that ~~it's~~ traditional lotto is so pushed in shops, and the fact it manages to keep rewards so high, suggests that a lot of people buy-in to it. Plus almost every neighbourhood high-street where I live has a betting house - I guess that's an improvement though, because there used to be one for every neighbourhood.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago

By any chance are you in a highly deprived area? Nicer places generally don't have as many betting shops

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Can you put on a condom?

Actually, nothing, but perhaps I wish I had said some things more often?
