What's that Lassie? Timmy fell down a well!?

Holy smoke

I just tried and it works. Police said they are fine. Or fining me. On of these.

It might be moving directly away from you, but better not take the 50/50 chances.

Unless you have outstanding warrants for your arrest 😂 in which case you can a) pull over and be arrested or b) drive it like you stole it and escape 😀

mental note: stop biting my nails...just in case...

For any given value of "simply".

If you smell gas and electrical devices are *on* do not turn them off - the same logic applies. The current is already flowing and there are no additional sparks to worry about.

One can only hope.

Except parrots

Never leave you drink unintended...ever!

my godchild had Retinoblastoma and had his right eye removed with just a few months old. The Doctors first didn't believed that there's something wrong with him, just a little crossed eyed, but after the diagnosis and looking at pictures of that time, you could see the Retina not reflecting red with the flash light on, but a white milky appearance. So when you feel like there's something wrong with your child, I can advice to take a few pictures with the flash on and take a closer look. My godchild lost his eye, but the fast diagnosis saved his other eye and could be treated with radiation. he is living a happy life :-)

And then you will be a popsicle for the bear...how nice of you!!

Note: Apply pressure AROUND the wound -- ideally, above and below it. Do not apply pressure to the knife.

If I ever saw square waves in the ocean I would wonder who the hell dosed me with acid.

Unless you wandered into her territory (aka there may be cubs around), don't back up at all. Yell. Be loud. Put your arms up to appear larger than you are. If you're at home, grab a pot and a spoon or anything loud and bang them together. Absolutely positively, do not run. (Source: I used to live near mountain lion country, and sometimes they'd wander down the mountain and into yards in the winter.)

Show 'em who's boss

I worked as a technician at a bowling alley, I can confirm that the deck that holds / picks up the pins will indeed crush you, it’s extremely heavy, it’s controlled by a computer that doesn’t care if you are in the way and it will drop towards the lane without warning. I’ve no idea why you would think it was a good idea to slide underneath the deck, the sweep and the deck are both clearly very tough bits of kit, you aren’t! We had double safety locking systems on the power supply and physical stops inside them on our pinsetters so that when were working on them there was zero chance of them operating, They will chew you up and spit you out. Your coffin will be wide and flat.

This works for cats too. I saw it on a pet rescue where they thought (or knew) a cat had been poisoned with antifreeze. They lived through the worse hang over ever!

Any electrical engineers care to chime in on the voracity of this statement? This would be life saving information to have if true.

If you survive the car crash you mean...

No it isn't, you should lay on top of a fat person.

Or there’s a child with a balloon above you, it’s up to you to judge which is more likely….

Unless it’s projectile vomit, in which case this does not work. It does make the others in the house curious about what’s happening in the bathroom though

Then punch the shark it was planning to share you with in the nose and casually swim back to shore giving the "what's up?" shrug to any other thug beasts thinking about joining in. I got it now: Alligator = finger in nose. Shark = punch nose.

Good to know, but that will go against every instinct in my body.

Especially after drinking! /s

And never, ever, ever put de lime in da coconut.

Brain freeze...brain freeze....

Apparently, there are some people unfamiliar with driving where there are frequent deer. No one wants to hit the deer. It is horrible for deer and your car and possibly your life. Sometimes deer dart into the highway from places on the side of the highway you simply couldn't have seen them before and anticipated. They can jump in front far faster than you can reasonably stop a car. Generally, when this happens, you're also going fast enough (highway speed) that swerving as suddenly as you would have to avoid the deer will land you over the side of the highway or rolling your vehicle. It has long been recommended that after a certain speed, it is just safer to hit the deer. Not only for you, but the people behind you in traffic. No one wants to hit the deer, but sometimes it is the best option in a bad situation, so it is considered best practice since the situation happens fast enough you likely won't have time to analyze the situation.

Deer will freak out and jump INTO the side of a car. Just... keep your eyes on the road, okay? And don't swerve! You'll either hit the next deer in the herd or into oncoming traffic. Be aware, however, that a deer corpse on your windshield is potentially going to trap you in the vehicle, depending on vehicle size/type. Yes, I grew up with a LOT of deer around!

And if you see one cross in front of you but know you’re going to miss it, hit your brakes anyway. There is likely at least one or more to follow right after it!!! Been there, done that!!!

I've seen pictures of a car ingesting a deer through the radiator grill. You don't want to do that.

run it over PLS

A large deer can still f**k you up. Especially if you hit an oncoming truck after you hit the deer. Moose is like a truck by itself.

If you see a deer run out onto the road ahead of you and you know you won’t hit it, still stop as fast as you can. Deer are herd animals and most people hit the second or third deer they didn’t know was there but that follow the first deer without slowing or looking for cars themselves.

I had a deer run straight into the SIDE of my car while I was driving- it continued on across the road after the encounter but I wonder how!

I drive a lot in the UK and am extra cautious when driving in the countryside and anywhere I see a deer crossing sign. I tend to drive a few miles (5-10) below the speed limit, always try to scan ahead and have been lucky not to hit any animals crossing in front of me...

I can't stress this fact enough. My uncle almost died because he hit a moose, and my dad knows at least 3 people that have died in horrible moose accidents. Also, don't swerve for anything less than a deer. No matter how cute it is. I live in Canada, where people die every day because of accidents with deer and moose, etc. I have experience!

I guess I got lucky the one time I dodged a dear. It was backlit by the setting sun. I barely saw it and just gut reacted. No time to think and I didn't know it was better to hit the deer. Anyway, both the deer and I made it out safely with no issues. Lucky me

Never swerve. Just hit the brakes. Hard. Like you want to break them.
