TIFU by using a macintosh emulator to write a story

This tifu started last night but goes into today, last night i got an idea to write a horror story, i'm not a writer by any means and my work isn't popular but i like to contribute scary stories to nosleep, the gist of it was the parent of a kid who was scared of modern computers and only used this old macintosh from the 80s, the kid makes newspapers that predict future events and it turns out the macintosh is haunted, and so on.

But i decided why not write it in an appropriate enviroment, so i found a website that emulates old macintoshes and got to work, i managed to get the story going using an old copy of word on it and downloaded copies onto my computer that opened just fine (i downloaded several because emulators are finnicky and can crash), i thought it would be so cool to say that this story was written in a macintosh.

Tonight i decided to do more work, and noticed the emulator had some different operating systems to choose from, i decided to change it to Mac System 5 from 1987 because it looked exactly like the one in the story.

I did a lot of work over an hour, added in lots of new plot elements, events, got it nearly to completion, saved several times, never thought once to check the save, when i was done i made an extra save and downloaded it.

Opened it on my real computer, it was blank.

Opened it on the emulator, it was also blank.

Turns out something went wrong, the disk got corrupted or something, and i was saving blank files, maybe it was because it was System 5 and not 7 like i'd been using previously, or maybe it was the emulator itself, all i know is an hours work was just gone.

Now i have to start off all over again from the last save, this time i'll just finish it on windows, i think i'll just say it was started on macintosh.

TL;DR: I thought it would be cool to write a scary story about a haunted mac computer in an emulation of an old mac computer, the emulator disk got corrupted and i ended up losing an hours work on the story.

TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years

I bought a pretty good PC in 2019 (2300 € of goodness) but, a few months after I installed it, the PC started to have, at random, small freeze for like a second, every 10 to 50 min for seemingly no reason. I did tons of benchmark, pretty much read every posts about "my PC is stuttering/freezing help meee" on the internet, called the After Sale number from where I bought the PC. Removing and putting the GPU back helped for a few weeks, but then back to square one. Checked the state of my disks, the ventirad, everything ! Restarting the PC made the stuttering stop for like 1 or 2 hours that's it. I had GPU-Z and CPUID monitor on all the time to check if anything happened, and weirdly enough, having those monitoring program open made the stuttering way weaker ! Drove me absolutely crazy. Then one or two weeks ago I saw a post on r/buildapc about Fast Startup option in Windows and how it was a good idea to disable it... So I did. Since then, nothing. No stuttering, no f...

TIFU while being spicy with my Gf

I 26M have a gf 22f. We enjoy sex with each other but wanted to spice it up as she wanted to try something new and I was all for it. She had me order cuffs, a blindfold, and a vibrating plug which I thought would be fun to try. I let her know when they arrived and a few days after they arrived she came over and we got ready. She had me out the cuffs on her and blind fold first before I did anything else, followed by getting the plug ready. I put what I thought was a good amount of lube on it as one does. Well sadly when I slowly put the plug in, it immediately went all the way in as off it was just sucked in followed by a loud “AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHGHHHHH” which my dumbass at first thought “Oh she must really like it!” Until i realized it was from pain. I started panicking for a second then realized she was in pain, blind folded, and handcuffed. When I asked if she wanted me to take them off she said no and just sat there for about another 5 minutes. It didn’t completely ruin our spicey t...

TIFU by not getting visual confirmation on the lube he was using

Obligatory not today, but I was talking with my ex (the counterpart in this story) and he said he was surprised I hadn’t written this post yet, and truthfully, he’s right. So I (30 at the time, F) and my boyfriend (29 at the time, M) had been dating for a few months and were honestly having a blast. Maybe too much fun. A lot of late nights out. Both very spontaneous people with a lot of social and sexual energy when together, the latter being an important component of this story. One night we had decided to go to one of our neighborhood spots and have a few drinks before heading back to his place. In our city there’s this local artist that creates these awesome vending machines full of unique shit, some of it’s as simple as a pair of earrings or a bag of tiny ducks, but the fun ones are these mystery packages. I always liked choosing the spirit animal ones cause those contain a tiny toy animal and a card with some relatively snarky description of why your lazy like a shark or whateve...
