I haven’t done anything stupid in a while.

I’m a responsible 53 yr old adult and it sucks. I live in a state where fireworks are illegal. I miss getting drunk in the woods with my buddies and blowing shit up. I’m restless for stupid shit we did in the 80s. Fuck adulthood. Fuck any year beyond 2000.

Haha , the only thing is your body will take 10 times longer to recover , go ahead get dumb , I love watching old dudes trying to relive the youth , especially when they get on those shows like funniest home videos , or any other show, live is sooooooo much better , I encourage this behaviour
Fair-Wishbone-1190@reddit
Old dudes .... Ouch.
MidwestAbe@reddit
I absolutely miss being able to get blind drunk for hours and wake up the next day like nothing happened.
Day drinking to night drinking to seeing the sun come up was such a fun way to spend too much of my time as a younger person.
If they made a hangover pill - I would just want one or two. Just need one more epic day of nonsense leading to God knows where at 3 am. I'm not nostalgic for much. But I do miss my time on the drink.
T_Noctambulist@reddit
Have you tried Dihydromyricetin
MidwestAbe@reddit
Never heard of it.

Oh I did, to the tune of misdemeanor and about $7K of fines, court costs, and lawyer fees later.
0/10 Not recommended.
jermo1972@reddit
Go to a State that allows it all!
Short trip! Why not?
chrispd01@reddit
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose though ?
OliveBadger1037@reddit
Fireworks are illegal in my state too, but that doesn’t stop my neighbors from setting them off. I say go for it. The worst you’re looking at is probably a misdemeanor. Just don’t hurt anyone or set any fires.
niff007@reddit
Also 53 and responsible, but can't seem to stop doing stupid things and making bad decisions 🤷♂️
belligerent_tortoise@reddit
I’m just going to get a giant tattoo on my chest.
whirlydad@reddit
Have big chest tattoos. Would highly recommend. Spicy but not too spicy!
niff007@reddit
The solar plexus part was pretty fucking spicy
Winter-eyed@reddit
Rent a party barge on a lake or the river in a state that allows it and do it there. Just get the insurance and use the life preservers.
j2142b00@reddit
Are you allowed firearms? Ever heard of Tannerite? You can literally and figuratively kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
Remy0507@reddit
Just do what I did and decide that now is finally the time to learn to play guitar, then buy a bunch of them that you don't know how to play yet!
Emergency_Rooster664@reddit
I needed to see this. As a gen Xer who wonders why he hasn’t grown up.
Komaisnotsalty@reddit
I haven't grown up either.
I'm responsible but refuse to give up certain things and I will absolutely die on that hill without shame.
Not all of us ladies grew up to be moms and wives and belong to clubs where we talk about shopping and kids.
Fuck that noise.
Gimme a muscle car and a bag of D&D dice and I'm a happy camper.
NOGOODGASHOLE@reddit
Find a bowling alley. Learn to bowl. At a certain age the body simply cannot withstand the strain of being dangerous any longer.
ku_78@reddit
I just started off roading. Trying not to be stupid. Feels better than sitting around
HearingDue2119@reddit
Nice another inexpensive hobby I’ve been looking for
ku_78@reddit
It was a convergence of needs, desires, and finances.
I needed a newish car. I’m going to need new knees soon, so hiking is off the table. But I still want to get out into nature.
I live in an area that could be considered an off roading Mecca. And I have the means to get a vehicle that works for daily and can moonlight as an option for beginner trails (Subaru Forester Wilderness)
ONROSREPUS@reddit
I can hear the sarcasm in this post!
soraksan123@reddit
I miss when pot was illegal.
Myfreakinglyfe@reddit
I work at a legal dispensary, but I get what you’re saying. Part of the attraction was the chase. Now I can just walk up the street. There are 3 dispensaries within walking distance to my house, lol!
Shoehorse13@reddit
A few years back at my buddies 50th I put a roman candle in my buttcheeks and fired it out of my ass. About three blasts in was the exact moment I realized I am getting entirely too old for this shit.
moifah79@reddit
I've blown up cans of soup in the fire, not as flashy as fireworks, but they are pretty loud.
Grab some hash and a few cans of beer and throw a few cans of mushroom soup in the fire, after they explode they burn really weird nice colors too. Might help you feel better!
Bad0din@reddit (OP)
Can’t have open fires due to fire restrictions. Can’t even have that. 😭
moifah79@reddit
Awww I'm sorry bro, that sucks
Fenestration_Theory@reddit
Get cocaine and go to a strip club. It’s a very stupid thing to do but you will have a fun story to tell.
Bad0din@reddit (OP)
I dated an ex-stripper. I don’t need any more of those stories. 🤣

3d printers and online industrial parts houses have revolutionized the field of tuber-ballistic engineering.

Tuber-ballistic engineering, I love it!

Or a three man catapult, those were great.
Cigarrauuul@reddit
Habe you tried going to Ibiza or whatever would be equivalent for someone in the US? Trust me, there are places that really don’t care about age and are designed to make sure you do something stupid while there.
nonotburton@reddit
At one point in time that was Las Vegas, but apparently the prices are really high now.
No_Maintenance_9608@reddit
I'm in Maryland. One college friend just drives into PA and gets fireworks and we have a load of fun at his place on July 4th. A lot of his neighbors set them off too. Never get any police visits.
temerairevm@reddit
Someone here posted about going to a booze farm for the weekend and I can’t stop thinking about it.
reachers_toothbrush@reddit
I'm still irresponsible. Even though I never read the End User License Agreement I always click the box that says I have.
73rd-virgin@reddit
The only stupid thing I do is five days a week, I go to a job that I don't really care for.
One thing I hate more than work, is looking for work.
reachers_toothbrush@reddit
The Opera browser will sort you out.
Pharsydr@reddit
A free vpn like Proton will fix that internet problem 😉
islandbeef@reddit
Taking a Ouija Board to a graveyard at night was fun (and pretty stupid).
Commisceo@reddit
I asked my missus just last week if it means something is wrong because I wanted to go egging. Used to do that out of a convertible back in the day. So much more launch room than my sensible wagon.
She said yes. It something is wrong with me.
mstermind@reddit
She's obviously a keeper.
DeadManAle@reddit
Eat some shrooms.
PhilosopherFun7288@reddit
Another thing nobody warns you about getting older..... you don't know any plugs anymore😒
I wish i could get my hands on stuff like I could in my 20's/30's 🤷♂️
assuredlyanxious@reddit
In Canada we can order them online. Just had 10 g delivered this morning. Porch drop off.
PhilosopherFun7288@reddit
Damn, must be nice!
assuredlyanxious@reddit
It's a mind fuck getting it legally.
I remember in highschool we'd joke about walking into 711 and grabbing a prerolled j with a Slurpee.
Soon the psychedelics will be legal here, too 🤞 Loads of shops in my town. cops will shut them down and they'll open up somewhere else. Same thing happened just before weed was legalized.
But for now their websites are good and the guys I buy from are great. Stellar product and always some bonus gifts.
Ceorl_Lounge@reddit
Still getting used to it too, but man is life better now.
Lostwithsight@reddit
I actually did mushrooms with my mom last week. It was on her bucket list. She has less than a month to live. It was a great time.
Feisty-Lifeguard-550@reddit
Aww 🥰 that’s lovely , glad it was a great experience for you both.
Bad0din@reddit (OP)
Ugh. Lost yet another guy and am dry.
SkibidiBlender@reddit
The only thing different for me is that I now have a budget so my stupid has better outlets. Day drinking and staying up all weekend? Nah. A flight to Cabo or some such to go diving? Oh hell yeah. Just gotta work harder these days to stay in shape for shenanigans.
AppropriateDark5189@reddit
I had a pile of wood where I’m building my fire pit area down by the creek. We had flooding a couple months ago that washed it all away.
I spent this past weekend cutting down trees to rebuild it my stockpile :)
11fitguy@reddit
I miss my college yrs 95-99
Feisty-Lifeguard-550@reddit
I miss the 90s , I had the best time
Ok_Transition7785@reddit
Even if you could, you wouldnt want to. When you get to be our age, the thing you look forward to is getting home, laying on the sofa, and making an ahhh noise :-D
dbrmn73@reddit
Graduate to adult fireworks, Tannerite.
lundah@reddit
I was going to suggest a round of trap or sporting clays, but this would be better.
Chad_Hooper@reddit
My son took me out shooting clays for my 50th, the first and only time I have done it, even though I used to hunt game birds annually.
We had a blast (pun not intended but it fits:).
I-used2B-a-Valkyrie@reddit
Yeah tannerite is fun as hell! 💥
Sorry_Lecture5578@reddit
Unless you live in the west, then fuck off with the tannerite. Dumb fuckers shooting that sets the local public shooting area on fire at least once a year, to the point they should pull it and let the stupid people set their own land on fire first.

Open up the yellow pages and randomly call people to see if their refrigerator is running.

Calm down pal. You're gonna blow some fingers off, and throw your back out......😅😅😅
Bucks2174@reddit
I have zero desire to do stupid stuff. I’d 100% rather be home with my wife or go visit the kids and grandkids than do the dumb stuff I did at 16.
skiphandleman@reddit
Bon fire. Throw some aerosol cans and batteries in there.
Bad0din@reddit (OP)
State has fire restrictions. I miss the south too.
cab1024@reddit
Whoa whoa whoa...fire restrictions?? So what. Fire it up! There's some stupid shit right there to get you started
Commies-Fan@reddit
Fireworks? Thats the stupid shit? If youre worried about the leaglity go somewhere theyre legal. Buy them. I buy shit thats illegal in my state when Im traveling around and I use it when everyone else uses their legal stuff.

Go ahead and rip that tag off the mattress. Live a little.

Feeeel you . The stupidest thing i have done in awhile is to ignore my responsibilities for a day. Wooooooooooooo
BIGscott250@reddit
I’ve got a couple boxes of fireworks, mortars. Every now and then I’ll set off a couple….then hide and watch the local police officer drive by.
KalistoCA@reddit
I mean I do dumb shit everyday .. I’m still responsible
Doing dumb shit and responsible are not the same
Just like boring and responsible are not the same
ZZoMBiEXIII@reddit
Hit up the gun range. Mini explosions, right in the palm of your hand. Shooting competitions or even just amateur shooting sports are a god time.
Can you tell I work in a gun store? (Texan, if it wasn't obvious)
I-used2B-a-Valkyrie@reddit
How far is the state line?

I'm 58 and still sending it like a young buck on the black jump lines. Definitely still hurting myself occasionally. My son is a 21 year old fearless rubber version of myself, but I can still gap him on the mountain bike.
I haven't gotten drunk in about 25 years, but I'll still blow shit up from time to time. You gotta make your own fun, man! It ain't gonna come to ya.
