“Oops That’s Deadly”: 50 Clueless People Who Have Everyone Wondering How They Are Still Alive
Every day, we face risk. Of course, the amount can vary: a firefighter who also does base jumping on their time off and an office worker who likes to knit lead radically different lives. But the possibility that something might go wrong is always there, whether we know it or not.
The subreddit 'Oops, That's Deadly' invites everyone to post pictures of people interacting with extremely dangerous animals, plants, and other objects without realizing the threat
And based on the submissions, it's clear that some of us have zero survival instincts.

Had Both My Bathrooms Flooded With Poison Gas
Yes so I live in Turkey currently and my house has a septic tank, and apparently a government worker came by to check it because we have had way too many mosquitoes this year, and apparently there were thousands of them in there and he freaked out and pumped an unnamed horrible dense oily gas poison into my septic tank.
Bathrooms here have a drain in the floor so that when you're cleaning it you can just squeegee the water right into the drain. And houses with septic tanks, it's assumed that you will be using said drain on a frequent basis so that there is a water lock keeping nasty methane smells and also in this case poison gas from seeping up into your house. But I don't use it so that s**t came right in.
An hour after this was done, my amazing teammate of a cat woke me up and let me know there was a problem. The air purifier in my sitting room was going insane, and there was this dense horrible chemical smell as I left my curtained bedroom.
I immediately aired out the area, but this stuff is so persistent that some of it hung around underneath my bed and I had to use a two fan combo to get it out in the middle of the night. Same deal for my downstairs bathroom, both my bathrooms just have one small window for ventilation and that's it. I actually had to take care of the downstairs bathroom the next morning and the gas was still there.
So yeah, thanks for letting me ramble, hope I don't get cancer, hope my cats don't get cancer. I'm glad those mosquitoes are gone though, the biggest among them were a solid centimeter long and they would shake off being smacked, you have to roll them to break their wings and legs or they get back up and keep flying while flipping you off.
Here's a photo of my 13-year-old kitty Cutie, who let me know there was something going on. I rescued him 3 years ago and I adore him so so much. The best boy

Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) or Lysinibacillus sphaericus (B. sphaericus) can be added to septic tanks or really any standing water. These are bacteria which k**l mosquito larvae. The bacteria target insect larvae, as such are safe for mammals, birds, and fish, so they can be added to backyard ponds, when used as directed.

I am not saying this was made-up, but if there wasn't water in the P-trap, I would have thought OP would have noticed the sewer smell before the insecticide was sprayed in the septic tank. Also, I haven't traveled much, but apparently not all septic tanks are below ground and have a lid?
Ryan-James O'Driscoll 4 months ago
Dunno why you got downvoted, I had the same thought. If those chemicals can travel up through the drain, so can sewage gases and odours. The house would smell like an open sewer.

Toilets were invented in England and that methane gas entering the home through the outgoing pipe was fixed by putting that curve into the pipe. Water and waste can go out but sewer gases cannot come back in

Broken Wolves and broken Dogs are repaired almost identically. So ... no wrong in this one.
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, some of the biggest threats were posed by "natural" phenomena: fires could burn down not just your home but the entire city and infectious diseases weren't yet curbed by vaccines. To avoid them, people largely relied on their own experience — as well as the experiences of others.
But as technology advanced, the risks also proliferated. Mines, factories, and other "dirty" workplaces were hotbeds of danger. And it's not like there was a huge emphasis on safety control. But with time, states began gathering data about accidents.
According to Arwen Mohun, a history professor at the University of Delaware and author of Risk: Negotiating Safety in American Society, it was collected to make an argument that you should pay attention to this kind of risk and that the government should step in and try to manage the risk.
The first widely collected data was about public health and about workplace accidents because those were both big political issues. The numbers were meant to shift people's perceptions of risk.

But these days, even though data and statistics are plentiful, mass media is so hell-bent on fearmongering that it also affects what we consider to be safe and not, and suddenly, you might be having nightmares about shark attacks even if you live in a desert.
In the United States, for example, violent crime has been plummeting for decades and air travel is as safe as it’s ever been, but in 2023, 40 percent of Americans said they felt unsafe walking home alone at night — the highest rate since 1993 — and research also suggests that Gen Z sees more risk around them than other generations.

If you suspect that the algae is blue-green algae, pour water into a glass and wait an hour. If blue-green flakes rise to the surface, it is blue-green algae. Blue-green algae also breaks down and does not stick to a stick if you test the water with a stick. Not all blue-green algae are equally toxic, but there is no way to determine that yourself. You can clearly see from the pictures that there is a lot of algae in the water. Oh, the poor dog.

Margaret Hamilton, who played the wicked witch, was severely burned in the scene where she disappears in a puff of smoke and flame, Buddy Ebson was going to be the original Tin Man, but was badly allergic to the make up, and couldn't, and the dog who played Toto was stepped on and killed by one of the witches guards. That's why Toto looks a little different in the last half of the movie. Old Hollywood didn't f*ck around.

Toto was not killed, I'm happy to say. From Wikipedia: "During production, Terry's foot was broken when one of the Winkie guards accidentally stepped on it. A second dog had to be used while she healed. Due to the popularity of the movie, and because that role was the one she was most remembered for, her owner and trainer changed her official name to Toto. She actually appeared in 13 films. She died at age 11."

Saw This Winner Parked At The Gas Station. And Yes, All 4 Looked Like This

It took me a moment to realize that's a tire! 😮 This is a fatal accident waiting to happen.
Geoffrey Scott 4 months ago
Was rotating the tires on our Impala prior to a 18 hr trip to Florida. Loosened and removed the lug nuts, reached back to grab the tire and was lacerated by the steel belt on the inside of the tire. Had NO idea, rest of the tire looked fine. So, after a $400 repair bill for rear tie rods, and a set of new skins we were off. THAT could have turned out badly.
This mismatch between what the evidence says is risky and the appropriate level of fear is what researchers call the risk perception gap.
And the interesting thing is, when our fears don’t match the evidence, the gap becomes a risk all by itself.
For instance, vaccine skeptics who fear the side effects create a greater risk of illness by forgoing the shots, since their anxieties are simply centered around the wrong thing.

Finally Found Where My Lint Trap Is
Lived in my apartment for 3 years and ignorantly thought I didn't have a lint trap in my dryer. Found out it's under the handle on the top of it, but since it was hard to pull up, I figured it was something else and I didn't want to break it and get management mad at me. Finally figured out that if I pull it towards me, it'll come out. Got lucky today. So glad I got some radioactively bright red towels that clogged the inside of my dryer and proved to me that I do indeed have a lint trap I need to manually clean.

Air conditioners produce water that drains out and needs to be connected to a drainpipe or culvert. In this case, perhaps they did not connect it to anything and the seeping water is eroding the base dirt under those rocks. You can see that there may be a leak that channels the water down the pipe, since about a yard/meter to the foreground of the photo also shows a sinking of dirt/rock.

Limestone dust is not poisonous. If you google "is limestone dust toxic" you'll get a "not toxic" back, and it's spread on fields for farming, and crushed limestone is widely sold for home landscaping. It would be easy to be misinformed about safety. The risk from Limestone dust is inhalation, and the risk is usually longterm. Jumping in the dust must have caused the kid to inhale a lot to cause rapid fatal lung damage.

Like talcum powder, powdered limestone is easily breathed into the lungs and destroys the lung tissues. It is unusual for death to occur after such a short exposure, but depending on the pH of the limestone powder, it could have provoked enough damage to cause rapid swelling and leaking of fluids into the lungs. Essentially, you would drown in your own body fluids.

Dillon Harper, PhD, a psychologist at Giles and Associates Family Psychology, says overconfidence is the brain's way of boosting self-esteem and reducing anxiety, and it does this by focusing on past wins while minimizing or ignoring failures.
"While this positivity feels great, it can ... [make] us believe we're invincible even when we're not. There is a fine line that oftentimes may feel like a balancing act."

I think this is a brown recluse spider? If so, its bite releases a necrotising toxin which will ulcerate the wound site, destroy the surrounding tissue and, if left untreated, require excision or amputation. It can also produce a systemic reaction which could destroy red blood cells and cause organ failure. Nasty little bugger.

Yes, I agree Brown Recluse, a.k.a. Fiddleback. You can just make out the "violin" shaped marking on the top of the thorax in this photo.

Without the bribes, the paperwork would have taken months to get processed.

Humans should stay away from any high output radio transmission. It isn't ionizing radiation but close up with large powers can heat you up like a tasty meat pie.

Was Cleaning My MIL's Basement When I Came Across This
Dave Platt 4 months ago (edited)
These brushes (used to clean dust off of camera lenses and vinyl LP records) have a small amount of radioactive polonium behind the metal grill at the top. They emit a low level of alpha-particle radiation as the polonium decays, which ionizes the air and allows static electricity to drain away. Alphas have very low penetrating power... they travel only a few inches in air and can be stopped by something as thin as a piece of paper. Polonium can be dangerous if swallowed (hence the"do not touch" warning). These brushes have a very limited useful lifetime because the polonium has a half-life of less than six months. They have to be replaced every couple of years even if they aren't used. This one was made in 1970. 50 years, more than 100 half-lives... there's less than a trillionth of the original polonium left. It's less radioactive than a banana ("for scale" - bananas contain potassium, and potassium-40 is mildly radioactive).

In case you’re curious like me: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar, is fatal if left untreated in over 95% of cases. It is characterized by irregular bouts of fever, weight loss, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and anaemia. Most cases occur in Brazil, east Africa and India. An estimated 50 000 to 90 000 new cases of VL occur worldwide annually, with only 25–45% reported to WHO. It has outbreak and mortality potential.

More likely, as it is in the beginning stages, probably CL or Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (affecting the skin) VL stands for Visceral Leishmaniasis, a serious parasitic disease caused by the Leishmania parasite and spread by the bite of infected female sandflies. It primarily affects internal organs (like the spleen, liver, and bone marrow), not just the skin. Here’s a breakdown: Types of Leishmaniasis •Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL): •Most common form. •Causes skin sores that can look like ulcers or crater-like wounds. •Often start as red bumps at the bite site, then enlarge and break down.

Banded Sea Krait - Middle Of Nowhere Fiji - Uneducated Me - 2012
Spidercat 4 months ago
Yep. Pandas, sea snakes in general have more toxic venom than land snakes because fish can swim away really quite fast. The snake needs it's prey to dïe very quickly, hence very nasty venom. On the up side, sea snakes are quite docile and some have such small fangs and mouths that they can't actually bite a person. Fishermen often handle sea snakes to remove them from netting. Also, many sea snakes have no common name, only a Latin scientific name as they are not seen widely enough to warrant one. The banded sea krait however is dangerous. Kraits are distantly related to Cobras.

Non lethal mustard gas cases result in hospital stays of many months, but due to it's potency mustard gas exposure is often fatal.

For those who don't know chemistry, Color-Safe bleach, doesn't use chlorine as its bleaching agent. It uses oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Mixing ammonia with it, creates a mild acid which smells bad, but will not create "mustard gas" as the OP thinks. The acid it creates is widely used in food processing, healthcare, and for disinfecting medical instruments.

I had to click the link below because I didn’t know the danger of this. Basically it’s a risk of creating botulism. “USDA does not recommend adding noodles, other pastas, rice, flour, cream, milk or other thickening agents to home canned soups [...] adding these items slows the penetration of heat into the jars of soup; thus, heating of the soup in the jars may be insufficient to k**l spores of Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes deadly botulism.”
B.Nelson 4 months ago
For those wondering, canning requires specific ingredients to make sure it doesn't get the botulism bacteria. You have to have it at a specific acid levels or use pressure canning instead of water boiling method. Pasta and meat aren't acidic enough so you have to add lime or lemon juice or citric acid. My family use to make homemade zucchini salsa and jar them using a water bath but we also have a pressure canner for other things.
Gracie Mae 4 months ago
***For those that are not familiar with pressure canning or water bath methods of preserving food, do some reading on it--with the way inflation is hitting us all, you might seriously consider it as a viable means of surviving outrageous food costs. BUT, you also need to do some reading on the government's involvement--like when was the last time they did any testing and updating of their home canning studies. They were real big on pushing the home-canning agenda back during the WW's when they were rationing food for our soldiers--encouraging everyone to grow their gardens and preserve the food. That may have been the last time they actually did any research/testing on the processes...why aren't they promoting it now, when prices are out of control and so many are going hungry? While you're at it, do some reading on food-preserving in other countries, like the UK. You might be surprised in what you find.

Austzn 4 months ago
Canning things that are higher than about 4.6 on the PH scale, combined with a low oxygen environment like canning can be a good environment for botulism to thrive. So just because the seal is still good might not mean it's safe. In this case adding low acid meat and low acid pasta might dilute any acid from the tomatoes in spaghetti sauce. You avoid this by having a lower PH or by doing a proper pressure canning. Botulism spores are killed at about 115C held for only a few minutes but you have to know how long to let the containers heat up for to reach that internally. BTW, putting raw veggies like garlic in oil at room temp also provides an ideal environment for the bacterium to thrive.
