There is - being in deep shit together for a brief time. The deeper the shit the shorter the time needed for a true friendship.
- pavel_lishin 7y agoAnnouncing my new app: Shittr. You pay me $1000, and I will put you, alongside two other people, through a miserable grind of an experience. One of you will not survive; the other two will form a long-lasting bond.
- brontide 7y agoOne step further – all that miserable work can be productive! Match prospective couples/friends with someone who has a grueling job they need completed (e.g. help me move this refrigerator). It's like Tinder x TaskRabbit – couples fulfilling your Instacart order as a first date.
- repeek 7y agoPeople pay a lot less for that, see https://www.goruck.com/find-an-event/ https://www.goruck.com/find-an-event/ (minus the death part)
- spike021 7y agoRegardless, that's inherently also going to involve a good deal of investment. Maybe not an investment of time, but emotions or some other factor.
- realaether 7y agoAbsolutely agree. This is why my closest friends today are those I met in primary and secondary school: we were all there, though we didn't always want to be; we all had homework that we didn't want to do; we all had teachers we didn't like; and we were forced to a full 5 days per week together. In a way — strange though it seems — one of the things I miss most about school is just being in a group of people forced to do things that we really don't want to do and that give us no pleasure, because one of the magnificent side effects of this rather masochistic endeavor is that it forms bonds with your peers.
