40 Life-Saving Tips You Might Not Have Known But Definitely Should When crying for help, try and call some specific people like "hey, you in the red shirt, help, I'm being mugged!" A lot of people will ignore a help call so if you call someone specifically they'll look at you. If people are really ignoring your help call you can just try and yell "fire!" because people are going to come running to see stuff burning.

This mostly applies to some regions of the world. I can't speak for the situation when you're in the room together with the fire but if it's 1/ behind a wall or 2/ a different appartment, you have generally far more than that. Between appartments, in the EU, the builders are required to build walls that will stay safe for 90+ minutes.

My coworker lived in a concrete block house (lots of us in Florida do) and was awakened by a deputy banging on her door, a can of paint on a shelf in the carport caught on fire. She had only enough time to get her car out of the carport before the entire house was gone, it took fewer than four minutes before the entire roof was involved. Fire moves much faster than you think it will... get out.

I HATE new construction. I said above, my parents house is 46 years old and everything is REAL. Real doors, real closets, real wood cabinets, real bathtubs, etc. No kits, no plastic, no cutting corners. Our house in the PNW cost 10 times what my parents built theirs for and something in it comes apart in my hands at least once a month.

Newer homes are filled with petroleum products as are cars and planes,!reducing survival rates. Also those poly/wool blends you love so much.

So this guy on Tiktok basically just took things we've known for a long time and videoed them like they're his own?

Some people(like me) get triggered panic attacks about death from certain words associated to death. And trust me, panic attacks are not fun.

Gen X here... I grew up on TV, and got the misconception that quicksand was a mortal threat that I needed to be aware of. Decades later, and I have never encountered quicksand, nor has anyone that I know. This current generation will get their own misconceptions from these stupid tiktok people.

Most of these are obvious as f**k... I need the more obscure survival tips no one taught me as a kid, like don't try and wake up Auntie Sandra after she's had a couple of drinks and fallen asleep in the plant pot.

A lot of these are about what to do when kidnapped or abducted, but the likelihood of this happening to anyone that isn't involved in crime already, and isn't a child with an estranged parent, is so vanishingly small it's not worth thinking about. All articles like this do is scare people into thinking that life is much more dangerous than it is and people more violent than they actually are. It makes everyone's lives a little bit worse for no gain. (and before anyone kicks off, I didn't say *no one* ever gets abducted, I said the risk is incredibly small).

Just a question for the Pandas out there; since a lot of this advice involves kidnapping, robbery, plain old abduction, guns, knives, etc., how many of you out there have been subjected to this level of implied or actual violence?
