31 Things Many People View As Unsafe When Actually They Are More Than Safe

I imagine the primary difference is that almost all plane crashes are going to result in death while it is common to walk away from car accidents. Also, some people simply do not like the fact that they aren’t in control of a plane while they are in a car plus they can see their surroundings and it is familiar; most people grow up riding in then driving cars. Most of that counts for nothing in a statistical sense but, psychologically, it tracks.

Flying is perfectly safe. It's the uncontrolled landings you need to worry about.

FFS, it's not dying I'm afraid of. It's flying. Flying.

First sell by date and expiration dates are completely different. Sell by dates are sometimes list somewhere on the package it is best to use with in so many days of that date or after opening, but has nothing even combined to do with expiration or when something becomes unsafe to use or consume. My beef tallow has dates on, that lard in the fridge sealed up is not going bad any time soon I guarantee that.

Any food product in a sealed (from the factory) container that has "blown." Regardless of the best before date, if the pack is blown, then it's fermenting and should not even be opened, let alone eaten.

Decades of personal experience lead me to conclude that OP is overly cautious about only keeping leftovers for three or four days.

Expired meat or milk is a no. Expired dry goods are fine for months or even years.

Our sense of smell evolved to very effectively inform us when food is going "off".

The reason why it was labelled "undesirable" (and not "dangerous") in the European countries I live in, was the excessive use of it in especially Chinese/Indian restaurants in the past. People actually did had health problems, from headaches to digestive issues.

MSG does actually pose a threat to human health - can damage hearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU4eN3adgfE&list=RDQU4eN3adgfE&start_radio=1 (P.S. That's a joke - not a great one. There's this guy, Michael Schenker, and he formed a band - well, a group. The Michael Schenker Group)

My friend got the COVID vaccine and an hour later he was dead. Hit by a bus on his way home.

" my friend's cousin's wife's " - yup, heard this before. It's always somebody you "know" but not somebody you know well enough to give a name when asked. Therefore, made up and didn't happen. I'm not saying nobody died from the vaccine, the body is complex and often strange so it does happen, but statistically you ought to easily be able to name *hundreds* (if not thousands) of people who died of Covid for every *one* who *directly* died from the vaccines.

Please, let's not go back to the anti vac idiots. They say smell this oil,,now you are cured

There have been 55 cases of death after COVID-19 vaccination reported and a causal relationship has been excluded in 17 cases. In the remaining cases, the causal link between the vaccine and the death was not specified (8) or considered possible (15), probable (1), or very probable/demonstrated (14). The causes of deaths among these cases were: vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) (32), myocarditis (3), ADEM (1), myocardial infarction (1), and rhabdomyolysis (1) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8875435/

I've had Covid and then the vaccines, plus the boosters. I had the first shot when I was in the physiotherapy hospital. I said to the nurses, "Omg it feels like my whole body is saying 'oh bloody hell, not you again!!! I've already gotten rid of you once!" 😄

Yeah, if you can't have it, don't. Otherwise it's fine. Save the gluten-free stuff for the people that actually need it.

Let the people have their gddang diet they wish

Really, really depends on the homeless person. We've got plenty around here that are clearly psychotic with severe mental illness. Others that are stumbling around completely high on h****n and m**h. I won't be striking up a conversation any time soon.

There was a younger girl, I'm not sure how old she is, but she was sitting on some steps and something just seemed "wrong", as in "off" ... So I went and asked if she was okay. I had enough money to get her a meal deal, as in a sandwich, a drink with a bag of crisps. I tried to get her into a homeless shelter that night but it was late, around 7pm. Long story short, I helped her and lent her £14 for food and to top up her phone so she could phone the shelters here. I didn't have much at the time. She's now got a home, she saw me on the street a while later and thanked me. She's doing well and started selling handmade jewellery at a market here. So... It's? You can't save everyone but homelessness can be due to abuse or domestic violence... Sometimes it's not their fault basically... If someone needs to leave? They need to leave. Noone chooses a life on the street...

All it takes is eye contact with one, just one with an aggressive attitude. I mind my own business and walk right by. I would never go out of my way to be cruel or bully them, but I've had to run away from one more than once. Never again. No Eye Contact or Smiles

The city girl in me says to only make eye contact if you have something tangible to offer them (food, money).

Tell that to Pauley Perrette...

Yup, one time I was slicing and onion with a blunt knife and it slipped down the side rather than going through the onion. But because it was blunt I was putting a lot of pressure on it and managed to take off a chunk of thumb. Sharpen your knives kids!

My knives are professional chef knives. Yes, if you accidentally cut yourself? It's a cleaner cut than a blunt knife. The edges of the wound are akin to cutting a piece of paper with sharp scissors. You might need butterfly stitches or the ones that dissolve. But? Definitely don't use any knife that may be rusty. If one is rusty? Safely dispose of it. It's not just if you accidentally cut yourself but it can contaminate food.

That spider is cute.

Come to Australia and say that, mate...
