Also, sometimes they are lucky and the infection has been dealt with and they keep the unused antibiotics to use the next time ... or even worse, give to a friend who says they have a similar issue. YIKES!!!

Trump.

Kangaroos are high up there too, because they do look so cute (and there are sanctuaries where you can feed them etc) but if they get spooked you can definitely be killed.

We've been through 30 to 40 years of pain that isn't taken seriously, vigilance about reproducing, and mansplaning. We've just had enough nonsense.

same with driving sleep-deprived

It's gunna be bad, m'kaaay

Every time we get flood waters there are people stupid enough to try driving through it and it ends in tragedy

I don't mess with electrical stuff. Me and electricity have an agreement - I don't mess with it; it doesn't try to kill me.

Every mushroom is edible. The problem is some are only edible once.

I used to be an avid swimmer and would generally spend a lot of time in the water. Until that one day I got caught in an undertow away from the beach. Luckily I remembered what to do to get out of it, and I made it back to the beach, but ever since then I fear the sea. Am just back from Benin where nobody swims in the ocean because it will kill you.

Touche

This is why they are banned (for personal use) in most of Australia. My dad misses 'bonfire night' when they used to get them, at the same time as telling me about how his brother lit one and put it in his pocket once and it was very close to being a serious injury!

I've installed/replaced about six pairs of garage door springs, mostly torsion types. I don't recommend the experience. The tools and the technique are very simple but the forces are great and you're on top of a ladder.

ABIT the same deal as with the ocean. Learn to read the signs of danger and horses are absolutely lovely animals, cows on the other hand! I am weary of cows, but it is only because I don't understand them, and I can't read their body language.

This. A thousand times this. My dogs are sweet, housebroken (save for the older one, he's having issues), and generally well-trained, but they're animals first and foremost. They've knocked me down, including when I'm on the stairs or in other dangerous positions. I've gotten bitten a lot, not on purpose, but because cattle dogs are like velcro, I'm clumsy, and my dog gets under my feet.

This is something I have absolutely never have had to give thought to. I also never had to be afraid to go to school or go through metal detectors. Sad for those who do, because an accident in messing around with a gun is far less likely than direct intent :(

Vinegar and bleach is chlorine gas. Ammonia and bleach is chloramine gas. Acetone and bleach is chloroform.

I remember our woodworking teacher introducing us to the table saw: "This is the table saw. It does not like you. it does not dislike you. It does not care how many fingers you arrive with, or how many you leave with. That is entirely up to you."

They will not be at all afraid of you. Fear can only exist in someone who still holds a vestige of hope. A prisoner at Treblinka extermination camp attacked and killed the commandant with his bare hands, because the prisoner realised that he was going to be killed anyway.

Also the f****r in bottom right in the picture is a PAINFUL sting! Damn, my toe went black and the pain crept up my whole leg.

Yep. I almost went to the bottom of that hole. Drügs were the only thing that shut my brain up and stopped the "bad thoughts", so I became addicted almost immediately during a very dark part in my life. I had my family and my boyfriend trying all kinds of things to help get me clean (boyfriend was the source of 90% of the problems in the first place, though, honestly.) None of their attempts worked, and I ended up on cocaine. The only thing that finally convinced me to get clean was thinking about how my cat depended on me and how I was responsible both to her and responsible for her wellbeing. That helped me get clean. I've been clean for 3 years now. It's scary to think how I had NO idea what was in the cocaine that I was buying and using. I could have gotten a fentanyl-laced batch and simply died. But addiction is INCREDIBLY difficult - don't let my little summary make it seem like it's "simple" and "easy" to quit - it's not. It is an atrocious struggle.

Yes. Very agressive and deadly. In Southern Ethiopia there is only one lake you can swim in. Because the other ones have hippos in htem.

CO does not kill instantly

But they're cute :(

Most people don't realise, themselves, what they're capable of until it's too late.

I cringe when I see YouTube videos pop up in my feed for things you can do with a old microwave

And don't go in/around storm water drains. Flash flooding can happen so quickly.

About THE dumbest thing someone can do is help themself to someone else's prescriptions. You could be allergic to any of the ingredients; it could exacerbate an existing, or otherwise dormant, medical condition; it could permanently disable you, if not outright kill you. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

That's sad.

Oh no... I'm a forklift driver on a train station and I'm cooking my own food!

Here in Australia, the rules were relaxed during COVID. Some people will regret their actions down the track.

Swans. They can beat you to death with their wings. Geese bites hurt like all hell. Was bitten on the thigh when I walked past a hidden nest. Then chased another 25 feet. Thank God for the nest it didn't chase me further.

This goes for any hydraulics. I can confirm, I used to be a hydraulic mechanic.
