I did, but at least I did something about it. Haven't heard as much about the ol triangle lately have you? Yeah, that was me. You're welcome

[–] [email protected] 55 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Damn, that's pretty cool. I myself hunt down zombies in my free time.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don’t think I have ever seen a zombie before actually.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago

You know who to thank

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Have you ever seen a vampire? You have the greatest former President to thank for that 🎩🫡

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Will you be down in South Florida anytime soon? They're kind of becoming a problem here.

I thought quicksand would be a much bigger problem in my day to day life.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Tbf you wouldn't hear the people who drowned in quicksand complain about it afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You kidding me? for like a good half hour they won’t shut up about it!

The thing about quicksand that bothers me is that they never explain where you would encounter it. So I just assumed all sand could potentially become quicksand if it was deep enough. I guess I thought beaches weren't deep enough

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You need fine sand and lots of water so beaches weren't exactly wrong but it's still somewhat rare. Warning sign on Texel (Netherlands). Swamps are another candidate though there's also other traps there, as well as mudflats... or at least it's a very similar phenomenon the German term is different (Schlickloch vs. Treibsand) but it's essentially the same thing. Don't go walking from island to island without someone who can read the ground, maps would be useless they change every low tide. Also don't leave when the water is already coming back. Also, don't complain to your hotel that the sea is gone it's a feature, not a bug.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I've never seen quicksand, but I have stepped in that thick-ass mud that traps you and schlorps your shoe off

Yes. Also being burried alive

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

To be fair, it wasn't until much later that I learned that the "buried alive" was metaphorical. See: debt, stress, etc.

Personally, i assumed that being on fire was something i would have to go through at least once in my life. But as time goes on, i have not had the need to, even once, stop, drop or roll.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The back of my jacket caught fire once around a firepit. Can confirm that "stop drop and roll" fixes that situation really quickly.

Probably only time I'll need that reflex though 🤞🏻

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

I once fell ass backwards into a fire pit. I was stopped and dropped but I could not roll. Was pulled out pretty quickly but my butt will forever have those burns.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There was a time in 1999 where quite a few of us had to stop, drop, shut em down open up shop.

Clothes have become a lot less flammable over the years and open fireplaces aren't the primary heating method for most houses anymore.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I've done a lot of separate stopping, dropping, and/or rolling in my time, but never in that particular sequence for purposes of fire extinguishing.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was worried about acid rain; it sounded very concerning.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (3 children)

That's one thing we actually did fix

Why did the Bermuda triangle, quicksand, and maybe premature burial and stop drop & roll so capture our minds?

Replace the quarter to call home with swallowing gum or something.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 9 months ago (2 children)

To be fair stop drop and roll is still good advice. You just don't find yourself on fire that often.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

In fact, it's a good thing that we never have to use Stop Drop & Roll ourselves.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The one time I did find myself on fire, I completely forgot about stop, drop, and roll. Instead I ran until I stumbled on the hillside, then shouted "am I still on fire?"

Aaand that story is why I no longer fucks with charcoal grills.

He forgot to mention all the people just giving you drugs to get you addicted

Fuckin’ D.A.R.E.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Omg I was so disappointed later on life to find out there are no free drug people. Fucking lame, they said it would be like a costco market.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Even when I got to university and literally all but one of my friends smoked weed, I still wasn't offered any. I don't think my 'friends' liked me that much..

You could also use bees, as long as you had 5 of em. "Gimme 5 bees for a quarter" you'd say.

Ok but spontaneous human combustion still got me shook though

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Well it doesn't happen. Something that's 70% water can't explode. Have you ever heard of an animal exploding randomly? There's literally no way for it to happen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You should stay away from Sodium then I guess.

Yeah that was me. Then I heard about the triangle off the coast of Spain or something. So then I started making potential triangles all over the place. I had a globe with a schizo amount of triangles on it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

Illuminati confirmed

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I remember getting really into it and then afterwards seeing a really good debunking. It still bothers me how people can knowingly lie for small amounts of money or a bit of reputation.

I had so many theories about the Bermuda triangle and the Mary Celeste disappearance... Then I got older and more sceptical and found out the Bermuda triangle is nothing special, just highly trafficked and the Mary Celeste mystery was largely fictionalized and nothing remarkable.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Young Jesus fearing me hypothesized that the Garden of Eden was within the Bermuda triangle. It made sense to me... God kicked out the unworthy and disappearing planes and ships were God's wrath for trespassing. .

But now you're telling me the triangle isn't really a thing.... What else from my developing mind isn't real... Lol

Well I'll glad I'm not the only one, but after I saw the modern traffic going through the Bermuda triangle I was much less concerned.

There were many lost nights of sleep though

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Nope. Atlantis.
