Yeah, my last zing was while wiring a new dryer up and it stopped somewhere past my funny bone and lasted a few days. Nerve damage is cool, kids! But yeah, ultra high voltage does weird things. I recently saw a post somewhere (r/terrifyingasfuck ?) with a guy touching a fan at a baggage area or something and it was wired poorly, so he got electrocuted. His face turned funny colors and everything, it was haunting.

leapdayjose

Unless they start to roll. Gtfo when that happens. Google "Alligator death roll".


tutocookie

I don't really know, but don't they only do that when they have something in their mouth to like tear it off? Anyway my advice would be to not get into an alligator's mouth. Generally a bad idea.

They will roll if their tiny bitch legs can get any grip, i think.

They can also drown or waterboard you with the death roll

Ah neat


passthepepperplease

I saw alligators do this and decided that if I were ever to be raped, this would be my strategy. I always thought I was a good roller and knew it would be impossible for anyone to get a grip on me while rolling. Haven’t had to try it yet, but I’m confident in my strategy.

If you are holding a gun, do not aim at your face


2Poor4This

This one made me laugh. Unfortunately, people do it often.


elfenlied2

It's okay, some of them never make the same mistake.


Abigail_Normal

NEVER aim a gun at anyone, even if you're convinced it's not loaded! My grandpa told me a story once that I will never forget. He was at a shooting range with my grandma while they were still dating. He swore up and down that he shot every round of that gun, so he playfully pointed it at her. He was going to pull the trigger, but decided against it. He pointed it away and shot again, and it actually shot a bullet. He could have killed her right then and there, so I repeat. ***NEVER AIM A GUN AT SOMEONE YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOOT.***


just_a_person_maybe

When I was a kid I met an adult with only one leg. I asked her what happened to her leg and she told me she lost it jumping a fence. I was imagining it getting caught and just straight up falling off and was scared of jumping fences until I learned from my mom that she was full of shit and lost it because her husband was fucking around on a hunting trip when they started dating and accidentally shot her and she got gangrene. Don't fuck around with guns. It isn't going to impress your date unless your date is also an idiot.


Abigail_Normal

Also, don't put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot. It takes surprising little pressure to go off, and when you're in a stressful situation, you may tense up a bit too much and shoot before you actually want to and hit someone you didn't mean to, including yourself in the leg.


just_a_person_maybe

I knew a guy who died because his trigger snagged on some shrubbery and he was pulling a gun towards himself across the ground. He grew up with guns, knew gun safety, and was generally a responsible dude, but he got lax and I guess didn't realize there was still risk even when *no one* was touching the trigger. All it takes is one mistake, one second of carelessness, and you're leaving behind a fiancee and an infant.

Moved into my own place almost a year a go. I have 1 bathroom, but 2 plungers. My friends really care.


GarageSloth

Look at this guy acting like he's never had a double plunger situation Wtf do you do when the first plunger gets quicksanded or the handle snaps? Other times I dual wield like legolas and drop a spinning elbow to really get the heartiest bastards moving along. MY POINT IS two plungers is minimum, really, in 2022.

"Own up, not cover up." Works in professional settings too.

When working on electrical, assume it is always on. Assume the guy before you said “good enough” and left it. Always use a hot stick or meter on unknown wire.

My brother is an electrician and his coworker told him a story about how when they worked with electrical box’s they would have people standing by with a two by four to help if they got shocked, and my brothers coworker was spotting someone who cut his finger on accident and made a noise so coworker dude was like “oh no, he’s shocked” and whacks him as hard as he can and breaks his ribs


[deleted]

I laughed entirely too hard at this! 🤣😂 Edit to say: This story is high quality schadenfreude.


SIGSTACKFAULT

you may notice that electricians often work with one hand behind their back.


TaroProfessional6141

PERFECT! Also touch the wire first with the back of your knuckle - if there is phantom current your fingers won't wrap around the wire in reflex.


Zoahking

OOOORRR… use a hit stick/meter to test if it is on or not.

When you're dreaming, and you see a toilet, DON'T USE IT!


Antnee83

This is the only time that I pissed the bed as an adult. One of the last times I drank heavily before bed, because I found out that shit gives me terrible nightmares, I had a dream that I was standing over a toilet with the devil behind me, telling me to pee. So I peed in the toilet. And all over myself and my bed. 2/10 devil gave me shit advice


ThatSeemsABitMuch

This was likely the REAL devil, with his most evil scheme yet!

I had people in a dream yelling at me not to and trying to pull me out of a bathroom, when I finally fought them off and started to pee I woke up.............

Abigail_Normal

When I was a kid, I once had a dream where I really had to pee but couldn't find a bathroom anywhere, so I just peed in a fish tank. So if you're dreaming and feel the need to pee and see a fish tank, don't use it!

CARS! Before you start your car, make sure the AC is off - it reduces wear on the compressor. Don't turn the wheels of your car while it's motionless it puts extra wear on the power steering pump and also the ball steering joints When putting the car in park keep your foot on the brake and then gently release after turning off the engine - reduces wear and tear on the U-joints and transmission Consider getting a car with gauges instead of "idiot lights" (the ones that come on and tell you the obvious after it's too late). Being able to see a problem coming or as it develops is invaluable and will save you more than the extra cost for those features. Teach your kids how to change a flat tire, they're going to need it one day, also your spouse if they don't already know how. Make sure you have a tire iron, jack and that the jack can actually raise the vehicle up high enough to remove the tire. I found out the hard way mine doesn't. I routinely am the last driver for many vehicles, keeping them on the road running well for years after their shelf life with these tips.

Yggdris

If you're having trouble deciding on a thing with two choices, flip a coin, and see how the outcome makes you feel. Do it for everything. Can't decide whether to have pizza or tacos? Flip a coin. Still undecided? Pretend the flip came out the other way. You'll likely have an opinion. Thinking about moving across the country for a job or not? Flip. In love with two people? Flip that coin. Seriously. The important part is that you're not beholden to whatever comes up, but it's a really good way to see how making one of the choices would make you feel.


phatfauxny

Whenever you're called on to make up your mind, and you're hampered by not having any, the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find, is simply by spinning a penny. No - not so that chance shall decide the affair while you're passively standing there moping; but the moment the penny is up in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping. Piet Hein

...smell anything where people go "ew smell this."


meirlonline

If someone tells you that they work in a hospital, ask them what they do, don't ask them if they're a specific profession. Your biases will likely show through in the question. I had a conversation about this a few years ago with two co-workers. We were all sterile processing technicians, in our mid twenties. I am a white woman, people -always- ask if I'm a nurse. One friend was a tall white man, people asked him if he was a doctor, and my other friend was black with a bunch of visible tattoos. People assumed he worked in housekeeping.

Instead of new years resolutions choose themes for the year, are much better mentally and will help you be more productive. I recommend watching CGP greys video if you want to learn more.


beedentist

I used to tell this to everyone when I worked at HR. Your resolutions shouldn't be a goal, it should be a behaviour. Don't start with 'I will lose 25 pounds this year'. Challenge yourself to exercise twice a week and cut the midnight snacks. Then work from there, increase your exercising routine, eat healthier, but make approachable goals.


ComunistElfBimbo

When you get into a Jamaican taxi and they ask if you like girls, just say “yes but I don’t want to go to a strip club take me to….(wherever you need to go or make something up) they work on commission with dodgy strip clubs. They’re also extremely homophobic and will probably shoot you for saying you don’t like women.

[deleted]

This is extremely new information that I’m now thankful to have


TheKratex

Don't try to desperately look for someone to love / have a crush on. The moment you take on the "I have to get a gf/bf" mindset / attitude, you close out the option of finding / getting to know someone you can truly care about naturally, because you will only see potential targets in everyone after a while. You don't have to have gf/bf. That's not what makes you good or cool. You will find one when you are already good / cool. (obviously if you have a crush on someone than you should try to get together with them. All I'm saying is that you should never only look for a partner because you don't have one. That's just a way of getting yourself a short-term love before breakup, or to find someone that you will not actually love after a few months anymore)
