7 Things You Can Do Only Once in Your Life
For so many centuries, we humans have the privilege of living the most interesting and unique life. We are given five senses, several vital organs and limbs, and through our own willpower and genetic structure, we are constantly using what we are given to do mentally and physically the best we can. Without legality, the question of what we can and cannot do in life becomes philosophical. However, we are mere mortals, and all mortals have their limits.
Therefore, this list focuses only on things that a person can physically experience only once.
1. See the transit of Venus on the disk of the Sun
Nowadays, it seems that every week some huge object hanging in space eclipses something, or something eclipses it, or in some ridiculous way eclipses itself. Yes, NASA, we've learned that space is a really mysterious place, and the sun, the moon, or various planets seem to merge with each other for a short time.
However, the passage of Venus across the disk of the Sun is another matter. It lasts only a few hours and looks so unique that it is only possible to survive it again in a hundred years. On June 5 and 6, 2012, the world was able to watch Venus pass through the face of the sun for about six hours, causing the appearance of a small dark dot in the sun. Unfortunately, this spectacle will not happen again until 2117. So if you missed it, there's only a very small chance you'll see it happen again.
2. Donate a kidney.
If you donate your brain, you die, if you donate your heart or your lungs, you die too. Is the situation clear? However, you have two kidneys, which means that under normal circumstances, every healthy person is born with two kidneys. More interestingly, you only need one kidney to continue a normal life without treatment and dialysis, a therapeutic procedure necessary to remove waste products from your blood.
It looks like one kidney is given to us as a backup to make up for all the trash we consume in our time. Now, if you don't take ethics and formalities into account, it's possible to donate any organ to anyone. Just keep in mind that no legal or reputable medical organization will ever fulfill your wish to give someone your last kidney.
With that said, the kidney is, of course, an organ to be cherished, because you never know when a lost brother or sister might show up on your doorstep and ask you the courtesy, "Can I have a kidney?" And that's the moment you say, "Of course, only after that we're even."
3. Enter the Miss Universe Contest
Since 1952, the Miss Universe pageant has been recognized as the Grandfather of all beauty contests. After Donald Trump acquired the rights to host the contest in 1996, this spectacle still remains true to its long tradition and keeps the whole world waiting from year to year, even if for some people it is just a treat for the eyes.
During the competition, beautiful young women from 18 to 27 years old from different countries present their knowledge and beauty, competing with each other in a series of modeling events and answering questions. Participating in the competition requires a lot of work, and the contestants are certainly under a lot of pressure. Even reaching the semi-finals is a feat, and there's another caveat: you can only enter this contest once. Yeah, just one. If you don’t win, there will be no “next year.” Now you know what pressure is.
4. Losing innocence
Innocence usually refers to something chaste, sincere, naive, or untainted. Do you remember believing in Santa Claus and Snow Maiden? Yeah, admit it! You were really stupid. Sorry, innocent.
The expression “losing innocence” can have different meanings for different people. Some see the loss of innocence in liberation from virginity, some see it as growing up, and some finally realize that getting one A for all exams does not mean being smarter than others.
But no matter how you understand the loss of innocence, one thing is certain: you lose it once and it will never come back to you. After that, you look at your mom and dad, doubting everything they've told you, and maybe yelling, "Lie!" All lies! I know where babies come from!
5. Re-grow a full set of teeth
An ordinary baby is born without teeth, although some babies have long proved that it is possible to be born with teeth. Usually, teeth in children begin to appear at about one year of age with a frequency of one tooth per month or so. By the age of three, children have all their teeth. A year later, children’s teeth begin to fall out, which lasts for some time. The purpose of this “reset” is biological – it is necessary in order to make room for permanent molars.
Once this happens, it will be impossible to regrow new teeth. Like it or not, it will be the only complete set of your real teeth you’ll be lucky enough to have, so try to take advantage of them. If one day your molars fall out, it will be forever. Of course, some people may develop wisdom teeth later on, but they are too few to count as a complete set.
6. Join the Illuminati
It's rumored. Or not a rumor? There was a time when the Illuminati were on everyone’s radar and you couldn’t sit back and watch a movie or music video without some preacher or free-thinking people nearby shouting that you should pay more attention to the signs. "Did you see that white horse running in the background of that clip?" "Did you see what dark eyes she has?" “Just look at how he holds the fork! He shows us a secret sign that he has become one of those with the devil.
Well, we understood, after all the conversations, propaganda and timely coincidences surrounding the Illuminati, whom the world is forced to accept or reject as a secret organization intent on controlling the entire world. One fact that people seem to agree on is that supposedly you can only join the Illuminati once. This is because there are rumours that if you join the Illuminati, you immediately make a pact with the demons, and then life’s success will be with you as long as you worship them.
Break the link with the organization and, according to rumors, you will spend the rest of your life trying to become popular again after so many unexpected skirmishes with the law, trying to stop being a disgrace to society. Also, there are rumors that if you try to give them away, they won’t rest until they kill you, like they did with Michael Jackson and Tupac. Rumors, gentlemen, rumors!
7. Dive too deep.
Divers will instantly understand what is being discussed, and may even experience a fit of fear. This disease has several names - decompression disease, divers' disease, caisson disease, in the jargon of divers and submariners called caisson.
Kessong occurs as a result of a rapid drop in environmental pressure when your body is in unnatural conditions for too long. Bubbles appear around the joints, which can cause joint pain. As the number of bubbles increases, complex reactions can occur in the body affecting the spinal cord and brain. Because the blisters can move around the body, caissons have many symptoms: joint pain, dizziness, confusion, headache, paralysis, and even death, with symptoms that can vary.
Decompression sickness is widespread and affects scuba divers, pilots, astronauts and people working with compressed air. It is carried by 1,000 scuba divers in the United States each year. In most cases, the coffer is not life-threatening, but in the most severe cases, if left untreated, it can become permanent, guaranteeing the diver a ban on diving for the rest of his life. If for some strange (not recommended) reason you want to experience the full weight of the compression, make sure that you have done everything you dreamed of.
