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.
You know who to thank
Have you ever seen a vampire? You have the greatest former President to thank for that 🎩🫡
Will you be down in South Florida anytime soon? They're kind of becoming a problem here.

No more frost giants thanks to yours truly TotallyNotSpez!
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.
The thing about quicksand that bothers me is that they never explain where you would encounter it. So I just assumed all sand could potentially become quicksand if it was deep enough. I guess I thought beaches weren't deep enough
You need fine sand and lots of water so beaches weren't exactly wrong but it's still somewhat rare. Warning sign on Texel (Netherlands). Swamps are another candidate though there's also other traps there, as well as mudflats... or at least it's a very similar phenomenon the German term is different (Schlickloch vs. Treibsand) but it's essentially the same thing. Don't go walking from island to island without someone who can read the ground, maps would be useless they change every low tide. Also don't leave when the water is already coming back. Also, don't complain to your hotel that the sea is gone it's a feature, not a bug.
Yeah I've never seen quicksand, but I have stepped in that thick-ass mud that traps you and schlorps your shoe off
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.
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.
Clothes have become a lot less flammable over the years and open fireplaces aren't the primary heating method for most houses anymore.
I've done a lot of separate stopping, dropping, and/or rolling in my time, but never in that particular sequence for purposes of fire extinguishing.
I was worried about acid rain; it sounded very concerning.
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.
In fact, it's a good thing that we never have to use Stop Drop & Roll ourselves.
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.
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.
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..
You could also use bees, as long as you had 5 of em. "Gimme 5 bees for a quarter" you'd say.
Yeah that was me. Then I heard about the triangle off the coast of Spain or something. So then I started making potential triangles all over the place. I had a globe with a schizo amount of triangles on it.
Illuminati confirmed
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.
I had so many theories about the Bermuda triangle and the Mary Celeste disappearance... Then I got older and more sceptical and found out the Bermuda triangle is nothing special, just highly trafficked and the Mary Celeste mystery was largely fictionalized and nothing remarkable.
Young Jesus fearing me hypothesized that the Garden of Eden was within the Bermuda triangle. It made sense to me... God kicked out the unworthy and disappearing planes and ships were God's wrath for trespassing. .
But now you're telling me the triangle isn't really a thing.... What else from my developing mind isn't real... Lol
Well I'll glad I'm not the only one, but after I saw the modern traffic going through the Bermuda triangle I was much less concerned.
There were many lost nights of sleep though
Nope. Atlantis.
Nah, it was all about quicksand for me.
That and just catching fire out of nowhere. And although that was mostly down to 80s shellsuits that were super flammable, I'm sure the new waves of cheap imported throwaway shit clothes are just as bad.
