Catching on fire is weirdly absent here
We've effectively cured all fires by inoculating ourselves with the "stop drop and roll" vaccine.
Yeah, that's another one
Black holes and the sun dying in five billion years are missing here.
The horrors kids go through thinking that a black hole could just suddenly appear in our solar system and eat everything.
Along with falling anvils and actual sticks of dynamite.
At least if you run off a cliff and don't look down, you'll never fall.
I've seen quicksand happen at the beach now twice. It's crazier when you realize it's not a thing, and then it's a thing again. The one person called the park people because they thought it should be cordoned off, but conditions have to be just right.
Learning about buoyancy in relation to quicksand is a helluva thing. You panic thinking you're going to sink and drown but then you stop not even half way and realize it's just more annoying mud but at the beach.
It was in the dry sand part, not the water, but I get your point. The first person was just walking along and then one of their legs sank to their crotch.
Learning about the Bermuda Triangle when I should have been learning about the Strait of Hormuz 😭
killer bees
He wutang clan largely got them under control for us
I never realized how close the triangle was to the US
I was never able to figure out what “made” the triangle! I just knew that Bermuda was part of it. Internet didn’t exist back then, so you just kinda moved on when you couldnt find your answer; or pick 2 other places that look good enough and call it a day! Today, seeing this post, finally solved a question from my childhood! 😆
I wish these were the biggest problems we had to deal with
Pool drain is also missing here.
Thanks for reminding me of that delta pressure video...
Replace the Loch Ness Monster with whirlpools and 6 year old me would be in shambles lol
My mom once told me we have pull the roots of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonatum Out because it's a pest plant that grows everywhere.
Naturally I concluded that humanity is involved in an global war against this plant, over who owns this planet and all our lives are at long term risk of losing that war
- Thieving magpies
Australian magpies can be pretty aggressive
I know it's the loch Ness monster but at first glance I thought it was a swan, told they would break your arm so dont piss them off
Being on fire.
Fallout?
Those were the cold war kids. This post screams Millennial.
no, the cold war kids is a band.
no u
And cliffs! Sheer cliffs seem to be much less geologically common than my childhood led me to believe.
that depends a lot on where you are...
