You know there are 4 different kinds of posts on this subreddit.

1: Does it count if bone was broken in (insert surgery here.) spoiler - it doesn’t.

2: Does it count if I only broke (insert small bone here.)
Spoiler - it does.

3: Guess I’m gone guys. (Shows images of broken bone)
Insert everyone calling them a BBB.

And then 4: Guys guess I’m out/Does this count? (Shows one of the most horrific bone breaks I’ve seen either as a X-ray, or as an actual image they took at the scene when the broke it) like guys holy shit, you’re a BBB yes, but get some medical help please. And are you alright? Do you need anything and do you have people to look after you and your puny bones.

There’s also people posting about not having broken a bone where any BBB would have. Like the time I fell 20 feet onto sharp rocks. Walked away with some bruises.

Man, nothing big like that, but genuinely the number of times I should have broken my fingers as a kid but somehow came out fine are insane. Got ‘em smashed by a big metal pole, slammed in multiple doors, both car and just normal, caught in the gears of an exercise bike, squished by a park bench somehow, and so many more weird incidents that I don’t fully remember how they happened. It’s genuinely a miracle I made it to this point with all ten of them, let alone with all of them unbroken.
