Serpentine!

Only honk at a moose if you're a Canada goose. I feel like that face off would be a toss up.

Ha ha that’s cute let’s see how they sing when their jewels are ripped off by the chimp

Jep, makes you think you are warm, but makes you cool out even faster. Very dangerous.

As Mr. Miyagi would say, “In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants.”

And just because an animal eats it doesn't mean it's safe for you.

According to Terry Pratchett “ All funghi are edible. Some are only edible once.”

I run into this all the time! I've been studying wild edible plants the best way I knew how literally almost since I could walk. At 36 I still consider myself a novice and a student. Some plants are perfectly safe as a nibble/snack or part of a salad, but will reduce you to violent shakes if you try to make a meal of them (learned that the hard way). Others are only safe after cooking/with multiple boilings and changes of water. Still others are deadly except for one part (say a root or only the stem above ground or only the fully ripe fruit/only the fruit but not the seeds) or only during a certain phase of growth. Still others have common names or misleading names in different regions. (For instance, deadly nightshade [belladonna] will kill you, but black nightshade [solanacea] is a snack.) That's not even mentioning how easily some safe and deadly plants can be confused (hemlock vs. wild carrot). Thinking you'll just live off the land will make people dead!

Scratch test if you're really desperate.

All mushrooms are edible......some only once. (my friends t shirt)

Well what about the first person to say: you see that thing hanging under that cow? I'm gonna' drink whatever comes outta' that!: (paraphrase Bill Watterson)

Once you've learnt the taste of the three commonest types of plant poisons, and follow a regime of eating the tiniest amount first and increasing amounts in stages, eating wild plants is safe. Not nutritious, so you're going to die of starvation, but safe.

E.g. Alexander Super Tramp. RIP.

A kid tried to eat some berries off a bush at my school. I looked up all the berries found along the woods by the school and they are toxic, mildly toxic, poisonous, or will give you an upset stomach. Luckily he only ate some wild grapes, the one edible plant in the area.

I might be wrong but I'm sure I read this was basically said as a psychological thing to stop people panicking.

this idea was always just blatantly stupid.

Ehh I wonder what it tastes like..Nvm no I don't

Yeah I hate bullying but standing up to them is just going to p**s them off. Not like the movies..

Cactus juice! It's the quenchiest!

I've always found it weird in movies where someone is lost/stranded/ trapped and the first thing they worry about is starvation. No one even mentions the need for a safe, steady water supply despite the fact a human can last weeks and weeks without food but only a few days without water.

honestly have movies taught people NOTHING

Yeah if it's a flock of seagulls they might just be running so far away from a girl with auburn hair and tawny eyes. Or flocking to the local walmart parking lot

Growing up near the coast I carried grocery store meat tenderizer in my tackle box. Dashing good bit over the sting seemed to help

Any sensible gunman will stay out of reach anyway.

And you did your best to catch a nasty infection on top of it.

The best advice is laying flat on the floor with your hands over your head.

Can't die of covid if dehydration (short term) or hypertension (long term) take you out first, I guess?
