stupidest thing that you ever did in don't starve

[webbertheslayer]

as webber hitting my own tier 3 spider den

[YouCleverBoy]

Thinking that slurpers and pigs could be friends. One full moon later, it was bye-bye slurper.

 

I also often forget that 90% of things in RoG are flammable.

[Zomsabra]

I thought that lureplants could be useful for farming meat....

[Silentdarkness1]

Dumbest non-lethal thing? Thinking that I can catch up with a Koalefant.

[Hollowed Doll]

tried setting the pig's bush thing on fire.

[blaaaat]

Dying of eating a taffy. No contest.

 

Honorable mentions: 

 

Searching all winter for the deerclops to test my fire darts on it. Couldn't find it until it spawned in my base at night on the final day of winter. I panicked. Got rid of it, but totally forgot about the fire darts in my inventory.

 

Killing several beefalo with spike traps, enthusiastically picking up the spoils and going for a second round. With four angry beefalos on my tail, I realize I forgot to reset the traps.

 

Being so hopeful for a gobbler springing from my boobytrapped berry bushes on a regular basis, then being disappointed that none come and taking off, only to return later to find that I left too early and the meat is in bad shape. I've had this happen so often you'd think I know to wait longer these days.

thinking what is that sound and than it was a bearger 

[Worthington]

Staying down in the caves during winter without bringing any essentials with me. While playing as Woodie.

[MenaAthena]

Lighting an item on my inventory on fire.

 

This next one I was actually trying to help my little brother out with his game. He was low health and I thought it was a good idea to eat a raw red mushroom.

Good thing he had a touch stone.

[Soopakoopa]

Thinking that if I ran far enough, the tallbird whose egg I stole would just give up and stop chasing me.

 

Tallbirds are very good mothers, and even better runners.

[Mobbstar]

Trying to ram away the bee fields with deerclops. Turns out bees and deers are good friends.

[KalebSearle]

Breaking a bunch of pig village houses then making a base in it just before a full moon.

[Naipseht]

Thinking I could lead a pack of Hounds into a herd of Beefalo in heat without wearing a Beefalo Hat.

[keagan]

press space whilst holding a shovel 

[FadedEchoes]

I destroyed my chest at least 5+ times in my last save because I couldn't get it aligned exactly the way I wanted.

[JIJOK]

clicked to harvest farm with fire stuff on hand, ashes everywhere 

[Ridd]

I tried to fight a Spider Queen using gunpowder in the middle of a really dense forest.

I barely made it out alive.

[PandaWaffles]

Shoving a bunch of colourful mushrooms in my mouth. Now I know how Mario feels.

[delete accoun]

lol... what's that deer thing?

 

 

5 minutes later

insert spongebob narrator voice

 

"you're dead!"

[Zendy]

First time with a crock pot, put all the stuff I wanted in, left camp, came back not remembering there was a "cook" button and decided to "light" the crock pot instead...at that moment I truly thought that's how it worked. T~T

[Im2akillerfish]

I started a base on a swamp as Webber. It was the only place I found with another spider nest, and didn't think of the obvious; Food, Wood, AND TWO TENTACLES INSIDE THE BASE. I was tired, and didn't think properly.

 

 

Running inside my ROG base when two Red Hounds were chasing me. It was one of those bases with wooden walls around it. I watched in horror as the burning walls spread the fires into everything I had made on the whole world, science machine, alchemy engine etc.

The work of multiple hours gone in a few moments of stupidity. Woodie died soon afterwards.

[DangWoodchuck]

To leave the Goose in a pig village was foolish. To kill the mother before the Moslings was even worse. Thank goodness for Beefalos in Spring... oh yeah, and leading the Bearger to my base was a great idea.

[Ghostlight]

I hunted a Koelephant in a huge circle that led right back to my base. I didn't realise this, and I fought it about a screen below the bottom of my base not quite realising exactly where I was. I did my usual tactic and hit it with a Fire Dart. So now it's on fire and angry....and ran north....right into the middle of my beautiful (and combustible) base. Anyone seen The Towering Inferno?

[Bearry]

Taking on a Bearger  NOT wearing ANY armor at night, even when I have a shellmet in my possession.

There goes my entire world.

 

Oh, and before that, setting him on fire and luring him to a reed-tentacle trap set piece. There goes my awesome source of papyrus.

[Bearry]

Angering a deerclops in winter who approached my base, making the base looked like it just got bombed.

 

For no reason, I killed him with gunpowder, ended up having no boss loot and destroying all my precious living logs.

 

My winter ended with a bang. Doing earthquake restoration work while freezing at the end of winter and early spring.
