I did, but at least I did something about it. Haven’t heard as much about the ol triangle lately have you? Yeah, that was me. You’re welcome
Damn, that’s pretty cool. I myself hunt down zombies in my free time.
I don’t think I have ever seen a zombie before actually.
Personally, i assumed that being on fire was something i would have to go through at least once in my life. But as time goes on, i have not had the need to, even once, stop, drop or roll.
The back of my jacket caught fire once around a firepit. Can confirm that “stop drop and roll” fixes that situation really quickly.
Probably only time I’ll need that reflex though 🤞🏻
I once fell ass backwards into a fire pit. I was stopped and dropped but I could not roll. Was pulled out pretty quickly but my butt will forever have those burns.
There was a time in 1999 where quite a few of us had to stop, drop, shut em down open up shop.
I thought quicksand would be a much bigger problem in my day to day life.
Tbf you wouldn’t hear the people who drowned in quicksand complain about it afterwards.
Yes. Also being burried alive
To be fair, it wasn’t until much later that I learned that the “buried alive” was metaphorical. See: debt, stress, etc.
I was worried about acid rain; it sounded very concerning.
That’s one thing we actually did fix
Now we have plastic rain
While quite interesting, the Bermuda triangle didn’t concern me that much actually.
The movie Volcano (1997) however scared the shit out of young me, and I had problems sleeping for days. That was an issue I’d have liked to be solved.
If you’re afraid of volcanoes, there’s a few places you can move to, such as Australia: https://worldinmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/volcano-world-map.jpg
So interesting how the overwhelming majority are on the Pacific.
The person you’re replying to should move to Yellowstone Park. You don’t have to be afraid of the volcano when you’re at the centre of it. It’s also very beautiful from what I’ve heard.
Ah yes, the eye of the volcano
I think they meant that if you were on top of yellowstone when it went off then you wouldn’t have time to feel afraid. Your body would transition directly from being biology to being physics without even enough time to pass through being chemistry.
Why did the Bermuda triangle, quicksand, and maybe premature burial and stop drop & roll so capture our minds?
Replace the quarter to call home with swallowing gum or something.
To be fair stop drop and roll is still good advice. You just don’t find yourself on fire that often.
The one time I did find myself on fire, I completely forgot about stop, drop, and roll. Instead I ran until I stumbled on the hillside, then shouted “am I still on fire?”
Aaand that story is why I no longer fucks with charcoal grills.
He forgot to mention all the people just giving you drugs to get you addicted
Fuckin’ D.A.R.E.
what the fuck is a kangaroo shoe pocket
I remember getting really into it and then afterwards seeing a really good debunking. It still bothers me how people can knowingly lie for small amounts of money or a bit of reputation.
Do you have a tl;dr of the debunking? I remember hearing it was like electromagnetic something messing with the nav systems but that one sounds like a myth now that I think about it
Sure, a relative of mine was an ex-sailor and he pulled up maps of how many ships on average passed in a given area per year and then he divided it by the number of reported incidents. Demonstrating that the Bermuda Triangle had slightly less things go wrong compared to the ocean as a whole. Which he speculated was because everyone knows that hurricanes are a thing and the presence of the US coast guard.
It didn’t even take him that long. I got into a thing with him about it and about an hour on the computer later he had the numbers to back it up.
