Work Experience

A way that schools force you into a "work environment"

But in a "work environment" you are paid money.

Basically legal child labour

School "Hey kid you wanna do work experience?"

Kid "Am I paid for the labour?"

Schools "no? Why do you need money, you're a child"

Kid "isn't that just child labour?"

School "haha no"

I wanna see what you get to experience all the time

Da reason you give a dude when asking him to let you have sex wif his wife or girlfriend.

A slightly-differently-worded version of da "I wanna see what you get to experience all the time" justification could likely also suffice if you have a chance to be alone wif a guy's alluringly-curvaceous-and-busty significant other and are asking her directly if she'll spread her legs for you; what you'd say instead when explaining why you're requesting intimacy wif her would be, "I wanna see what your husband/boyfriend gets to experience all da time". And in fact, you very well might even have a better chance of consent when you're just wif da gal by herself than you would wif asking da guy, since he would not even be present at dat time to be "doing it" wif her himself in da first place, and so it wouldn't even be as if he was missing a sexual opportunity of his own by her doing it wif you; you'd simply be "filling in for him" --- literally, as in, "filling" da chick's love-tunnel wif your love-pipe --- during his absence. As soon as he gets back, he could likely start "doing da bouncy-bouncy" wif her immediately da way he usually could, regardless of her also having had sex wif you shortly beforehand (provided you didn't make her too sore "down there", of course --- use lube and go easy on her so as not to make him suspect dat another guy was luluing her).

Experiment of one

I’ve become particularly impressed with AI and especially one called Poe (and its bot assistants). This is an edited definition* of one this AI-powered chatbot churned out in a matter of seconds:

An "experiment of one" refers to a type of experimental design where an individual serves as both the subject and the experimenter. In this type of experiment, the individual tests a hypothesis or investigates a research question by manipulating variables and observing the outcomes on themselves. It is a self-experimentation approach that allows individuals to gather data and draw conclusions based on their own experiences.

Examples of Experiment of One:
1. Personal Health and Lifestyle: An individual may conduct an experiment of one to test the effects of different diets, exercise routines, or sleep patterns on their own health and well-being.
2. Cognitive Performance: Someone might investigate the impact of various study techniques, memory strategies, or environmental factors on their own cognitive performance through an experiment of one.
3. Productivity and Time Management: An individual may experiment with different productivity techniques, work schedules, or task prioritization methods to optimize their own productivity and time management skills.
*************
I can't do better than that, but I will add that this is sometimes abbreviated as "n=1" or "n of 1."

*Only edited for length — the original was too long for Urban Dictionary’s space parameters.

In an **experiment of one**, Dr. Kessler tested his willpower by buying two gooey chocolate chip cookies that he didn't plan to eat. (Source: "How the Food Makers Captured Our Brains." Tara Parker-Pope. New York Times.

An oft-used phrase is "Each of us is an **experiment of one**."

Danish Windmill Experience

A woman sits cross-legged on a Lazy Susan holding a traditional wienerbrod Danish pastry. She is spun right round as several men take turns attempting to glaze it. Add schnapps for taste.

Hej Karolina, hold still! I can't hit the wienerbrod if you're conserving your angular momentum like that. This isn't anything like the Danish Windmill Experience my mom passed down in our family!

out of arm experience

When you can't feel or move your arm at all so it's like your soul left your arm but not the rest of your body.

I had an out of arm experience when I woke up this morning. It was as if my soul left my arm but not the rest of my body.

Yeah, those are totally weird.
