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.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 42 points 9 months ago

To be fair stop drop and roll is still good advice. You just don't find yourself on fire that often.

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

In fact, it's a good thing that we never have to use Stop Drop & Roll ourselves.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 9 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Caught my pants on fire from a welding spark and by the time I noticed, it was most of my leg on fire. Didn't even think to stop drop and roll, I just took off my pants.

Couple of points of advice:

  1. Don't wear frayed clothing while welding.

  2. Fire can't be seen through certain welding masks. If you feel warm, lift the fucking mask.

Wait you managed to light yourself on fire with a CHARCOAL grill?

Did you put accelerant on it for some reason?

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

I certainly did haha

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 24 points 9 months ago

He forgot to mention all the people just giving you drugs to get you addicted

Fuckin’ D.A.R.E.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago

Omg I was so disappointed later on life to find out there are no free drug people. Fucking lame, they said it would be like a costco market.

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 9 months ago

Even when I got to university and literally all but one of my friends smoked weed, I still wasn't offered any. I don't think my 'friends' liked me that much..

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Oh man. This is embarrassing, but in college I didn't want to be in any one in-group (I also have some flavor of commitment issue), so I used to push my way into groups and cliques where I wasn't invited. I'd wallow in the palpable social discomfort of "Who the fuck is this?" for quite some time till I got used to it. This was my main way to score "recreational flora". I'd later turn some of them into friends maybe a couple months down the road, but thinking back on this now, I cringe into a black hole.

You could also use bees, as long as you had 5 of em. "Gimme 5 bees for a quarter" you'd say.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Ok but spontaneous human combustion still got me shook though

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

Well it doesn't happen. Something that's 70% water can't explode. Have you ever heard of an animal exploding randomly? There's literally no way for it to happen.

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 9 points 9 months ago

You should stay away from Sodium then I guess.

[-] TeckFire@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

bursting into flames after my 11th Ramen bowl that day

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

Are you my doctor?!

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

what the fuck is a kangaroo shoe pocket

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 17 points 9 months ago
[-] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 6 points 9 months ago

I'm gonna look for some of these as my next trainer.

[-] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Bro im aussie and Ive never seen this. They are awesome.

[-] dzervas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

woah these are amazing! never seen them before!

[-] Wolf_359@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Kangaroos (aka "Roos") were these awesome shoes with a little pocket in them.

I got a pair about 13 years ago, long after they'd stopped being popular, and used them to hide my drugs in high school and college. They were awesome until I started hiding really bad drugs in there. Then they were just enabling me.

[-] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Also what the fuck is swallowing gum.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 months ago

Rumor has it that if you swallow chewing gum, it will stay lodged in your gut for seven years

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 12 points 9 months ago

Ah yes of course, just like the apple seeds that grow a tree in your gut.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Bad UX decisions is just like swallowing gum because both of them makes me shit myself
