2:33 reminds me of a historical event that was quite similar, though not nearly as bad. While vacationing in Crimea, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (the first human being in space) was drunkenly snogging a nurse in a hotel room, when his wife approached the door and demanded to know what (or who) he was doing. Not wanting to be caught cheating, he decided the best solution was to throw himself out the 2nd story window. Unfortunately, he didn’t qualify for a Darwin Award, as 1) he didn’t die or destroy his balls, and 2) he was already a father by this point. He did, however, receive an injury from the fall, which left him with a scar on his eyebrow for the rest of his life. Truly, even the greatest people can do incredibly stupid things.
Henrique Martins I mean, despite his fame and feat, Yuri Gagarin was not exactly a genius; inside, he was just another Russian village boy, who aren’t exactly known for their intellect in most cases. Though your statement is true.
It reminded me of an ice-storm that put out the power in half of Toronto for most of a week. A lot of people had *no idea* how to cope without power in the winter. The ERs were full of hypothermia, frostbite, and worse. Meanwhile the smart people were going and crashing at the places of people they knew who lived in the parts of the city that weren't blacked out. My roomies and I had some guests for a while, because we were in a lucky area, and none of us wanted our pals to freeze. It was pretty good - part urban camping, part emergency sleepover party.
I'm surprised the fool who swallowed a needle and then deliberated on whether or not he should cough it up or allow his stomach acid dissolve it had the brain cells necessary spell "disintegrate". And honestly, thinking your stomach acid can dissolve a neddle before it perforates your intestines makes one eligible for the Darwin Award.
2:24. Speaking of that what if the reason why Gordon Ramsay flips out like that and is so strict is because he saw a close friend or family member suffer from food poisoning.
It's not so much the food poisoning as the more serious cause of poorly cooked food or improperly cleaned salad greens is people with compromised immune system, the very young and older people who could die.
In his food service training and experience (all be it old school), the first, foremost, and paramount principle pounded into EVERYBODY was that there is no excuse for guests to have to actually worry about the safety of things they consume, ever... as in EVER. It takes SO little to use the proper heat settings in the equipment and the right amount of time for the serving that there's actually no good reason anything should be poorly prepared. We've got the technology and science of everything from thermodynamics to the rate of penetration of fluids into meat over time... AND how to effect any of those equations, whether it involves cutting into smaller pieces, adding a little heat, or stabbing the meat repeatedly with sharp instruments. It takes almost no time nor research at all to understand at the very SIMPLEST 180F for 10 minutes renders any dish safe enough to eat. It won't guarantee it to be pleasant, and in most cases quite the opposite... BUT it will be safe. A very little research, even just buying a $1 Cookbook from 50 years ago, will reveal safe serving temperatures for any variety of meat... from beef to poultry, fish, and even Game if you just look for it... Nowadays, you can even just Google it. AND I wouldn't doubt he's seen (firsthand) the aftermath of someone being poisoned on poorly prepared food, undercooked meat, and unclean utensils or kitchen. He's definitely heard horror stories. We all have a few of those from a friend or relative... at the very least. To Gordon Ramsay, it's an insult to the profession and his passion to serve something raw when it's clearly unsafe to do so... AND yet, that's one of the top 5 most often committed wrongs in the culinary world... even with no excuse to do so. Hell, I've been food-poisoned a half dozen times in my 40 odd years. Every single time it happened was a public food service... EVERY SINGLE TIME... AND I'm self taught at making friggin' sushi. I didn't learn under a Japanese chef. I didn't go to a school or take a class. I bought a book, some bamboo rolling mats, and the ingredients. I still haven't managed to poison myself. I've slow-smoked meat, and fermented practically everything from hot sauce to beer and pickles... I've made my own sourdough and yogurt and even cheese... BUT the only times I've suffered weeks of projectile vomit and explosive diarrhea were the results of a "professional" preparing my food. I even at ham the color of a japanese beetle in the Navy, and didn't get sick... metallic yellow/green shine and all... BUT the professionals nearly killed me... AND THAT is why Gordon Ramsay gets totally livid when some schmuck tries to serve a customer something RAW... If it was me, I'd slice it to show them, and then THEY WOULD EAT THE GOD DAMN THING... ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 I used t be a afraid to eat sushi because of the possibility of food poisoning. With my medical issues it could end badly for me. But once I tried it I fell in love. Best part is I haven't had food poisoning from it, or ever since my mom burns almost everything.
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375 I think everybody (who eats sushi) in the western world goes through that about sushi. Some might not fall in love, but I took the chance and bought the book and mats and followed through... so you can probably tell where it went with me. (lolz) I've since corrupted my brother, and mother... who was similar in her culinary practices. Keep a clean kitchen, and pay attention to the basic requirements of it, and you can learn to prepare just about everything. Not all sushi is necessarily raw nor necessarily contains fish... SO when you're not completely sure of where to get fish, don't sweat it. You can still learn to make good sushi between now and finding a good source. AND curing, pickling, fermenting, etc... have slightly different requirements from ordinary cooking. NONE of it is particularly difficult. It can be tedious and time consuming, but not really difficult. I'm glad you've never suffered food poisoning. It's something I wouldn't wish upon anyone. AND from professionals, there really isn't a good excuse for it. ;o)
5:23 the fact marine two was more focussed on the fact he won and not the fact he and his friend had a scorpion on the no-no bits contest slowly killed my faith in humanity.
For those who don't know, capsaicin (in the story that starts at 12:03) is the chemical that makes chili peppers spicy. It also burns your eyes and is in pepper spray. Basically, if you can imagine how much your nose would burn if you _snorted_ pepper spray and multiplied that by about 7, that's what that guy did by snorting pure capsaicin. It probably irritated (to put it mildly) his nose and lungs and affected his ability to breathe.
It does; didn't snort it but I was eating leftover Mexican food it was shredded pork accidentally hiccuped when swallowing a few fibers got lodged up the back of my throat when it closed using it into my nose. Not far enough to pull out but enough to have it hang on both sides where my tongue nor fingers could get it. After about 5 minutes of shaking my head and rising my nose I finally got it out! Whooo!! Burned like a motherfucker and that was just mild! I also stopped eating and just tossed the food. Never get hiccups and eat at the same time it ain't fun.
A lot of people are more afraid that their social circles will discover that they were ever curious about putting stuff up their butt than the possibility of literally killing themselves by trying it with things that are not designed to go directly against your body's function in as safe a way as possible.

When my brothers were younger (7-9) the older one suplexed the younger one into a marble side table. The corner of the table broke off and the younger one had no damage other than a headache for a couple hours (no concussion). To be honest I'm surprised any of us made it to adulthood.
They do but you would have to crush up a whole lot of them and then drink the cherrypit/peaches pits/apple seed paste. Since Cyanide is broken down fairly quickly by the liver and does not build up in the system you would have to down it all in one go without the blocking effect of the seed shells in order to actually be poisoned.

The last couple of days I thought I might just want to go outside and shit in the woods to save my septic system - but, the DNT and EPA would probably cite me for hazmat issues. No bar mugs, though!
Yes, absolutely you should be very concerned. Get medical help (if you can't poop for more than 4 days or have had 3 or more episodes of symptoms in less than 3 months or are struggling). Also, to the guy replying to op, never again use said powdered meds dry! You can cause serious damage /harm!

I'll share my story... I decided that the tree in my family's home needed to be trimmed, but I was an idiot kid... So what do I decide to do? Well, that's obvious isn't it? I got out my dads circular saw... I carefully secured the guard open so it would cut the big branches, then secured a 3' rope to the handle/my waist (to keep from dropping saw), plugged it in & started climbing! While making my 1st cut, the saw jams & bucks out of my hands, before bouncing around at the end of the rope, mere inches from my body. That's when things really went crazy, the rope tangled in the blade/guard & started violently flying all over the place. With each jump, it chewed up more rope, bringing the blade ever closer to my body. I couldn't do anything to stop it because I was using my hands to not fall out of the tree. I was freaking out until moments before it would finally reach me, & thankfully, the rope jammed the blade to a stop, just as the saw finally swung into my leg. I was very lucky, the saw only caused a few punctures & cuts. Less lucky, for the falling out of tree & dislocating lots of joints part but still recently than... If I had landed on the saw, it may have killed with or without the blade moving under power. Naturally, my parents made sure that I was in way more pain /badly hurt after they got ahold of me, than that caused by my own stupidity. My dad was so pissed I destroyed his circular saw... I'm surprised he didn't just end my life the moment he discovered it. I don't expect he'll ever forgive me for it. Adam

My fiancee used the Nuvoring, and six months after our wedding our daughter Oopsie was born. She's 14 now and skates in a roller derby league; she wanted to use the derby name "Unplanned Aggression" but it was too many letters.

It was the after party at my brothers house during a heavy snow storm. So there's 5 of us guys sitting around in our underwear when one guy lights up his gas.

Just to be clear, patient's with antifreeze poisoning, if you want them to live, grab a bottle of vodka or other hard alcohol. Give them 1 measure of vodka for each measure of antifreeze & immediately transport to hospital. The alcohol will be the only thing that can give them any protection or chance of survival. Adam
Brievel Montague If the antifreeze has methanol in it. Metabolites from ethanol are less poisonous than those from methanol so, if the body has both (or better a surplus of ethanol) it reduces the amount of the more dangerous products.

Not the stupidest thing I have ever done, but I got a cortisone shot and the doctor warned me that it was pretty common for people to pass out when they tried to sit up after getting the shot.

For a while I was too embarassed to tell anyone so I tried to cough it out. After about 3 minutes of pure suffering I gave up and told my mom. She immediately called dad (the only family member with a drivers licence) who was curently at my grandma's to come pick me up and get me to the hospital...before he got home I fortunately managed to cough it. out. I am so happy that I didn't end up as the person in the thread but it was still embarassing. My lesson was learned but it came at a price. I scrached my neck and that place when the pin was stuck feels weird to this day.

I find it hilarious that you signed with your name at the end. I also find it criminal (and so does the law) to beat your children.

Rushed to specialist hospital, spent days there, then months in a brace. Dad felt like crap, but still. Neglectful parents are awful. Abusive parents are worse. Hang in there, Adam. 😊
so, I know of one, I don't work the field but I think we can all agree this might fit here. There was a guy who broke his leg, pritty baddly. His idea to remidy this so he could walk was about 2 things of duck tape and a few sticks. No, this wasn't done out in the wilderness, the guy's back yard. He found out after doing this that, yes he couldn't bend his knee any more, but it didn't hurt, so he figured it must have fixed it and continued on with his life. A few days later he ends up dieing because of a large blood clot that formed. He had wrapped the duck tape up so tightly that blood couldn't flow corectly, so he ended up dieing because of it. I only know of this story for one of my substitute teachers in highschool was a driver for Emergency Responces. He called in a few moments before dropping dead.
Another one, slightly more personal... there is a river that flows through the town I grew up in. There is a warning stating "Do not jump here, water at its deepest is 5 foot deep" and was a good 60 foot drop. Aparently some teen had the bright idea that sign was wrong dispite there was a little flipper to adjust for water hight and, what we can only asume was correct, flipped it to 50 foot deep and then jumped. He didn't even land in the water, head burst like a watermellon on the rocks.

2:33 reminds me of a historical event that was quite similar, though not nearly as bad.
While vacationing in Crimea, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (the first human being in space) was drunkenly snogging a nurse in a hotel room, when his wife approached the door and demanded to know what (or who) he was doing. Not wanting to be caught cheating, he decided the best solution was to throw himself out the 2nd story window.
Unfortunately, he didn’t qualify for a Darwin Award, as 1) he didn’t die or destroy his balls, and 2) he was already a father by this point. He did, however, receive an injury from the fall, which left him with a scar on his eyebrow for the rest of his life.
Truly, even the greatest people can do incredibly stupid things.
Proof that genious and idioticy are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, that one wasn’t the best idea. Although spelling ability isn’t really correlated to common sense.
2:24. Speaking of that what if the reason why Gordon Ramsay flips out like that and is so strict is because he saw a close friend or family member suffer from food poisoning.
Could be. Or imagine the lawsuit if one of his restaurants sent a raw dish out and someone got that sick from it.
It's not so much the food poisoning as the more serious cause of poorly cooked food or improperly cleaned salad greens is people with compromised immune system, the very young and older people who could die.
In his food service training and experience (all be it old school), the first, foremost, and paramount principle pounded into EVERYBODY was that there is no excuse for guests to have to actually worry about the safety of things they consume, ever... as in EVER.
It takes SO little to use the proper heat settings in the equipment and the right amount of time for the serving that there's actually no good reason anything should be poorly prepared. We've got the technology and science of everything from thermodynamics to the rate of penetration of fluids into meat over time... AND how to effect any of those equations, whether it involves cutting into smaller pieces, adding a little heat, or stabbing the meat repeatedly with sharp instruments.
It takes almost no time nor research at all to understand at the very SIMPLEST 180F for 10 minutes renders any dish safe enough to eat. It won't guarantee it to be pleasant, and in most cases quite the opposite... BUT it will be safe. A very little research, even just buying a $1 Cookbook from 50 years ago, will reveal safe serving temperatures for any variety of meat... from beef to poultry, fish, and even Game if you just look for it... Nowadays, you can even just Google it.
AND I wouldn't doubt he's seen (firsthand) the aftermath of someone being poisoned on poorly prepared food, undercooked meat, and unclean utensils or kitchen. He's definitely heard horror stories. We all have a few of those from a friend or relative... at the very least. To Gordon Ramsay, it's an insult to the profession and his passion to serve something raw when it's clearly unsafe to do so... AND yet, that's one of the top 5 most often committed wrongs in the culinary world... even with no excuse to do so.
Hell, I've been food-poisoned a half dozen times in my 40 odd years. Every single time it happened was a public food service... EVERY SINGLE TIME... AND I'm self taught at making friggin' sushi. I didn't learn under a Japanese chef. I didn't go to a school or take a class. I bought a book, some bamboo rolling mats, and the ingredients. I still haven't managed to poison myself. I've slow-smoked meat, and fermented practically everything from hot sauce to beer and pickles... I've made my own sourdough and yogurt and even cheese... BUT the only times I've suffered weeks of projectile vomit and explosive diarrhea were the results of a "professional" preparing my food.
I even at ham the color of a japanese beetle in the Navy, and didn't get sick... metallic yellow/green shine and all...
BUT the professionals nearly killed me... AND THAT is why Gordon Ramsay gets totally livid when some schmuck tries to serve a customer something RAW... If it was me, I'd slice it to show them, and then THEY WOULD EAT THE GOD DAMN THING... ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 I used t be a afraid to eat sushi because of the possibility of food poisoning. With my medical issues it could end badly for me. But once I tried it I fell in love. Best part is I haven't had food poisoning from it, or ever since my mom burns almost everything.
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375 I think everybody (who eats sushi) in the western world goes through that about sushi. Some might not fall in love, but I took the chance and bought the book and mats and followed through... so you can probably tell where it went with me. (lolz)
I've since corrupted my brother, and mother... who was similar in her culinary practices.
Keep a clean kitchen, and pay attention to the basic requirements of it, and you can learn to prepare just about everything. Not all sushi is necessarily raw nor necessarily contains fish... SO when you're not completely sure of where to get fish, don't sweat it. You can still learn to make good sushi between now and finding a good source.
AND curing, pickling, fermenting, etc... have slightly different requirements from ordinary cooking. NONE of it is particularly difficult. It can be tedious and time consuming, but not really difficult.
I'm glad you've never suffered food poisoning. It's something I wouldn't wish upon anyone. AND from professionals, there really isn't a good excuse for it. ;o)

For those who don't know, capsaicin (in the story that starts at 12:03) is the chemical that makes chili peppers spicy. It also burns your eyes and is in pepper spray. Basically, if you can imagine how much your nose would burn if you _snorted_ pepper spray and multiplied that by about 7, that's what that guy did by snorting pure capsaicin. It probably irritated (to put it mildly) his nose and lungs and affected his ability to breathe.
It does; didn't snort it but I was eating leftover Mexican food it was shredded pork accidentally hiccuped when swallowing a few fibers got lodged up the back of my throat when it closed using it into my nose. Not far enough to pull out but enough to have it hang on both sides where my tongue nor fingers could get it. After about 5 minutes of shaking my head and rising my nose I finally got it out! Whooo!!
Burned like a motherfucker and that was just mild! I also stopped eating and just tossed the food. Never get hiccups and eat at the same time it ain't fun.
These people who do butt stuff, they do know that you can buy stuff made for that sort of thing, that won't get stuck or puncture your bowels, right?
Having your intestines ripped apart just seems awfull. The screw driver one... That is a special kind of stupid.
From the looks of it...nope.
A lot of people are more afraid that their social circles will discover that they were ever curious about putting stuff up their butt than the possibility of literally killing themselves by trying it with things that are not designed to go directly against your body's function in as safe a way as possible.

They do but you would have to crush up a whole lot of them and then drink the cherrypit/peaches pits/apple seed paste. Since Cyanide is broken down fairly quickly by the liver and does not build up in the system you would have to down it all in one go without the blocking effect of the seed shells in order to actually be poisoned.

Yes, absolutely you should be very concerned. Get medical help (if you can't poop for more than 4 days or have had 3 or more episodes of symptoms in less than 3 months or are struggling).
Also, to the guy replying to op, never again use said powdered meds dry! You can cause serious damage /harm!

I'll share my story...
I decided that the tree in my family's home needed to be trimmed, but I was an idiot kid...
So what do I decide to do? Well, that's obvious isn't it? I got out my dads circular saw...
I carefully secured the guard open so it would cut the big branches, then secured a 3' rope to the handle/my waist (to keep from dropping saw), plugged it in & started climbing!
While making my 1st cut, the saw jams & bucks out of my hands, before bouncing around at the end of the rope, mere inches from my body.
That's when things really went crazy, the rope tangled in the blade/guard & started violently flying all over the place.
With each jump, it chewed up more rope, bringing the blade ever closer to my body. I couldn't do anything to stop it because I was using my hands to not fall out of the tree.
I was freaking out until moments before it would finally reach me, & thankfully, the rope jammed the blade to a stop, just as the saw finally swung into my leg.
I was very lucky, the saw only caused a few punctures & cuts. Less lucky, for the falling out of tree & dislocating lots of joints part but still recently than... If I had landed on the saw, it may have killed with or without the blade moving under power.
Naturally, my parents made sure that I was in way more pain /badly hurt after they got ahold of me, than that caused by my own stupidity. My dad was so pissed I destroyed his circular saw... I'm surprised he didn't just end my life the moment he discovered it. I don't expect he'll ever forgive me for it.
Adam
You should be having a bowel movement at least 3 times a week. I'm surprised you aren't already worried because I had constipation due to a new medication and felt like I was dying. Nothing worked for ages, coffee, milk (lactose intolerant), extra fiber, nothing. I felt like death.
@@hardcoremagicalgirl I guess I've had constipation issues for many years because I'm used to going more than 4 days to almost a week without a bowel movement.

My fiancee used the Nuvoring, and six months after our wedding our daughter Oopsie was born. She's 14 now and skates in a roller derby league; she wanted to use the derby name "Unplanned Aggression" but it was too many letters.

It was the after party at my brothers house during a heavy snow storm. So there's 5 of us guys sitting around in our underwear when one guy lights up his gas. This other guy, we call him "moose", he's big and hairy - always was big and hairy for his age at any age - till now. He decides to light his up, but he's wearing long johns.

Just to be clear, patient's with antifreeze poisoning, if you want them to live, grab a bottle of vodka or other hard alcohol.
Give them 1 measure of vodka for each measure of antifreeze & immediately transport to hospital. The alcohol will be the only thing that can give them any protection or chance of survival.

@@Brievel it slows down the ablity of the cells to absorb the antifreeze.
@@erikburzinski8248 I see, thanks.
Brievel Montague If the antifreeze has methanol in it. Metabolites from ethanol are less poisonous than those from methanol so, if the body has both (or better a surplus of ethanol) it reduces the amount of the more dangerous products.

Knew a guy, he had broken up with his girlfriend and he couldn't get his ring off. So, he cut off his finger with pruning shears. It wasn't spur of the moment decision either. The guy planned it for weeks.
Sounds like he had bigger issues than the girlfriend. D-:
the human body is absolutely.. incredible.
"She did indeed shoot herself in the foot."
My mom had a pregnant lady that wasn’t fazed by the fact that she was turning yellow and her pee was brown. Polycystic kidneys, acute kidney failure, 9 months in hospital
I have so many questions, but most could encapsulated by saying ,”but WHY?
And I am not ever halfway through.
Lesson... Shrooms aren't for everyone. I've never had safety issues with psychedelics. No urge to do anything with fires, third story windows or vehicles.
A cucumber??? A CUCUMBER?!? 😱😳🤦♀️
I had asthma as a child and had an asthma Attack before( I don’t remember what it was like), and my parents, with their infinite wisdom, decided not to give me an inhaler at all. They think that ice water is a bigger safety concern. Also my mother told me that she had the air cushions in her cars were removed, she removed them when my older brother was born. She still doesn’t have air cushions. There really should be a special kind of Darwin Award, where irresponsible parents get it for endangering their kids.
2:59 oh no!!!
The guy that lost both balls is a Darwin Award winner. He removed himself from the gene pool
okay, sometimes i am proud to be a human.
this however was not one of those times..
HOW are people actually this flipping stupid??
This is literally the moira quote "stupidity is not a right"
I have literally never of men that jump out of windows due to marital arguments. I’m not denying it but... why.
Also, _how do you forget you live on the 6th floor_
14:58 - remember this if you ever have to tell an adult couple that Tab A goes into Slot B in order to make a baby.
mountain dew kind of guy..i lost it
How'd these patients even make it as far in life as they did?
I'll share my story...
I decided that the tree in my family's home needed to be trimmed, but I was an idiot kid...
So what do I decide to do? Well, that's obvious isn't it? I got out my dads circular saw...
I carefully secured the guard open so it would cut the big branches, then secured a 3' rope to the handle/my waist (to keep from dropping saw), plugged it in & started climbing!
While making my 1st cut, the saw jams & bucks out of my hands, before bouncing around at the end of the rope, mere inches from my body.
That's when things really went crazy, the rope tangled in the blade/guard & started violently flying all over the place.
With each jump, it chewed up more rope, bringing the blade ever closer to my body. I couldn't do anything to stop it because I was using my hands to not fall out of the tree.
I was freaking out until moments before it would finally reach me, & thankfully, the rope jammed the blade to a stop, just as the saw finally swung into my leg.
I was very lucky, the saw only caused a few punctures & cuts. Less lucky, for the falling out of tree & dislocating lots of joints part but still very lucky... If I had landed on the saw, it may have killed me with or without the blade moving under power.
Naturally, my parents made sure that I was in way more pain /badly hurt after they got ahold of me, than that caused by my own stupidity. My dad was so pissed I destroyed his circular saw... I'm surprised he didn't just end my life the moment he discovered it. I don't expect he'll ever forgive me for it.

I find it hilarious that you signed with your name at the end. I also find it criminal (and so does the law) to beat your children. And I think the thing that defines one as literally the most mentally unexceptional a parent can be is punishing your kids after they get hurt or lose something that they cared about. Hmm, you almost died and hurt yourself really hard? Let me hurt you even further because I literally share IQ scores with a walnut, my father was a garden hose, and my mother is the dumpster behind McDonald's!
I’m so sorry for you 😓 Trying to do something helpful and nice, and this is what you get. At 13, I fell 60 feet out of a tree. I tree limb stuck into my knee causing my knee to seriously swell. But, something my parents couldn’t see, was fractured neck vertebrae. Yep, Dad wouldn’t allow me to go to the hospital. Waited three days till he went to work, mom snuck me to the hospital. Rushed to specialist hospital, spent days there, then months in a brace. Dad felt like crap, but still. Neglectful parents are awful. Abusive parents are worse. Hang in there, Adam. 😊
3:59 - A family died in Brazil because of that.
if you get yourself neutered, you win the award becuase you're no longer in the gene pool
The cucumber one gave me the heebie jeebies
so, I know of one, I don't work the field but I think we can all agree this might fit here.
There was a guy who broke his leg, pritty baddly. His idea to remidy this so he could walk was about 2 things of duck tape and a few sticks. No, this wasn't done out in the wilderness, the guy's back yard. He found out after doing this that, yes he couldn't bend his knee any more, but it didn't hurt, so he figured it must have fixed it and continued on with his life. A few days later he ends up dieing because of a large blood clot that formed. He had wrapped the duck tape up so tightly that blood couldn't flow corectly, so he ended up dieing because of it.
I only know of this story for one of my substitute teachers in highschool was a driver for Emergency Responces. He called in a few moments before dropping dead.
Another one, slightly more personal...
there is a river that flows through the town I grew up in. There is a warning stating "Do not jump here, water at its deepest is 5 foot deep" and was a good 60 foot drop. Aparently some teen had the bright idea that sign was wrong dispite there was a little flipper to adjust for water hight and, what we can only asume was correct, flipped it to 50 foot deep and then jumped. He didn't even land in the water, head burst like a watermellon on the rocks.
Only in countries with no decent public health-care... What a mess.
11:13 I'm from Tennessee, and as soon as he said Crossville I knew it was about to get interesting.
Tennessee plus Walmartians? Grab the popcorn; Florida Man doesn’t hold a candle to this. xD
Stories like these make me lose more faith in humanity even though I've always had the little tiniest bit of faith in humanity.
This year the California flat earth rocket man. Failed to prove the earth was flat but he did learn about gravity. Last lesson he learned.
Guy: Eats medium rare chicken, nearly gets perforated bowel.
Me: Doesn't do anything even remotely stupid and still gets a perforated bowel.
Where's the justice in that?
Do you know what caused your perforated bowel, or was it “sh*t happens” (ba dum tss)?
@@KnakuanaRka I don't know, neither have the doctors. All I know is that I spent a week in hospital feeling like something was trying to escape my stomach area a la Alien.
@@locutus155 Ouch. ;w; Glad you got better.
2:27 I work at a specific fast-food place. My managers are pretty chill most of the time, but pull raw product out of the fryer and they will be on you like a Naz-gul and its prey.
People really undermind how important it is to cook your food properly no matter how well-raised an animal is eating raw isn't as 'healthy' as most would think.
13:31 No no no no no no!
So people really are this Darwin award worthy 😲
“Gave him an alkaline to neutralise the bleach” which is also an alkaline
No... The guy who gave him the bleach gave him an alkaline bleach. There are acidic bleaches out there, everything is a bleach if it destroys colour pigment.
@@midnight8341 If a bottle is named as bleach it is almost certainly alkaline though. There are acidic toilet cleaners available, and things like that, but they wouldn't normally use the word bleach on the bottle.
for real. literally everything about that statement was wrong. bleach has a pH of 11-13 and is one of the most alkaline things you can own. the burns were from the bleach itself.
@@midnight8341 Bleach™️ is a base, with a pH of 11-13.
Marine 2, beaming with pride:
I'm going to college in Cookeville TN and I know exactly what Walmart that comment was talking about.
Time to drink a gallon of antiflame
I’m truly stunned at just how stupid people can be.
laughed my ass off like a hyena on mushrooms lol
who snorts capsasin?? its the chemical in hot peppers that makes them hot.
I used to know a guy in college who would bust up Life Savers with a hammer, grind the fragments in a mortar and pestle, then snort the result in front of guests. He'd then shake his head and exclaim things like "Man, shit's got some kick!" I think he did it for shock value but it was still weird.
Why do people eat Tide Pods?
I think the Nuva Ring one would be the opposite of a Darwin award, because in that case one would be more likely to have children.
