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.

Same for accidental stabbins like tools, metal or glass shards, nails etc.

It was someone not following this advice that caused Steve Irwin's death.

Police? Not an ambulance?

Making mental note: if you get stabbed by mugger, kindly ask him to leave his knife inside you.

Call paramedics. Police are retarded garbage people who will probably beat you to death for no reason.

Unless, it's the guy that just broke in, and you stabbed him, then pull it out !!!

This applies to any serious puncture wound.

In addition, but more difficult to reconnect the wire

Everytime I see a Dr or other medical personnel do this on a "hospital drama" on TV I cringe. Any trained medic would know better.

This applies to any serious puncture wound, including accidental ones. A good 1st aid book should teach you how to make a securing ring out of a large bandage, hankie, bandana, towel, whatever, to keep the object from shifting around and causing further damage until you can get them to a hospital where the glass shards, chunk of metal, or any other object than penetrates deeply can be removed safely. If it hit an artery once you move that object you have seconds until they bleed out - leave it to the pros with the right equipment.

Got it so if you stab someone, remove the knife (for legal reasons this is a joke)

Noted

most of the time if someone stab you with a nife, they go away with their nife

pfft I knew that for years.

I knew this because of John Wick. Thanks Common 😉

Ideally leave whatever has caused the injury in, be it a knife, ice pick, nail or whatever. It is hard to do as our instinct is to do the opposite

Ambulance. Call the ambulance.

Or if you have a half empty bottle of wine around....

I knew this one. And always yell it at the TV when they inevitably try to remove it.

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….
