“Humans Are Metal”: This Online Group Celebrates People That Are Real-Life Heroes (50 Pics)
With all that's been in the news lately, one can easily think that humans are just the Earth's waste. And while that probably applies to some of us, there are plenty of awesome people as well. At least that is what the subreddit r/HumansAreMetal is trying to prove. With over 539,000 members, the community is sharing random acts of kindness and heroism in hopes of restoring our hope in humanity. From honoring firefighters who lost their lives during 9/11 to car crash survivors showing the lifesaving effects of seatbelts, it is doing one heck of a job, too. Continue scrolling and check out some of the most popular posts on the subreddit.

"The aim of our community is to showcase just how bad*ss humans really are," a moderator of the subreddit, Stuttero, told Bored Panda. "In a sentence, it's a place for people doing bad*ss things."
Stuttero said that a lot of the long-time members of the sub are also big fans of our sister communities, r/natureismetal and r/natureisbrutal, "which both showcase similar content to r/HumansAreMetal, albeit with animals/wildlife instead of humans, and slightly more graphic content in the case of the latter - most of the team definitely do believe that the more gory content is viewed really well by the community."
The moderator highlighted that shared interests really are key to building a good, strong Reddit community. "It's been clear to us for as long as we've been here that the people make the community what it is—it's for this reason that we really try to give people a fair amount of latitude to post what interests them and the wider community—one thing for sure is that we wouldn't be where we are today without them."

She does radiate goodness. It's funny but most of the time it is reflected in an individuals face.

As for the people in the pictures, they couldn't have done all these wonderful things if it wasn't for their ability to recognize, understand, and share the thoughts and feelings of others. Empathy is crucial for behaving compassionately—it allows us to experience another person's point of view, rather than just our own, and enables us to do good not because we have to but because we want to. Because we know it's what has to be done.
We, humans, begin to show signs of empathy in infancy and the trait develops steadily through childhood and adolescence. Yes, most of us are likely to feel greater empathy for people like ourselves and may feel less empathy for those outside our family, community, or race but it also allows us to bridge these gaps.
First responders, humanitarian aid workers, doctors, therapists, journalists, and others whose work involves opening themselves up to people's pain tend to be especially empathic. However, they need to watch out because all the heartbreak of those they help or whose stories they record can accumulate and when this "emotional residue" gets big enough, they may shut down, burn out, and become less willing or able to give of themselves.
Salute To Sir Bishnu Shrestha, Thanks For Being A Hero
Gurkhas are known to be the bravest soldiers in the world. He's proving it!
I work in education. My college has a large number of Gurkha's who study english for free due to their service in the british army. They really are an incredible community, they have a tangible effect on the atmosphere in college. They bring tranquility to the campus, and a little splash of colour as well.
Shame how the British government has kept trying to keep them out of the UK, refusing them the right to settle even after fighting the toughest bits of their wars for generations.
Load More Replies...@AntiAntiVaxx- My father was a Marine (Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Korean War). He was gifted a knife by a Gurkha that he fought alongside in Korea and it was the only souvenir he owned from his entire career. He said of the Gurkhas, "I was just glad they were on our side."
In the Indian Army they are known by their original name of Gorkhas. I live where we once had a Gurkha regiment based. Extremely humble, proud, tough, honourable, polite and respected. My grandfather fought beside them during the war and had the uttermost respect for them.
A professor at my university, years ago, had been a Ranger when he was in the military. He told me that the toughest and bravest soldiers he ever met were Gurkhas. That was a universal opinion, evidently, among the Rangers.
I read a story a while back about a British officer in WWII looking for Gurkha volunteers to jump behind German lines out of airplanes at 2,000 feet. He was disappointed that "only half" of the Gurkhas volunteered for the mission. Once he explained they would have parachutes, they all raised their hands.
Stuttero added that the same moderation team runs five communities all centered around a main common interest—our natural world, with the primary, largest communities being r/NatureIsFu*kingLit and r/natureismetal. They also operate r/natureisbrutal, r/naturewasmetal, and r/HumansAreMetal.
"Each one has quite a unique content specialization, but there's sure to be something for everyone in one of our communities. Between the communities, we have been very grateful to have been able to raise tens of thousands of dollars for animal and nature-orientated charities, along with hosting AMAs (public Q&A type sessions) with figures from all over the animal and nature-based world. We've also teamed up with other communities, charities, and organisations across not just Reddit but all over the Internet as part of events such as Superb Owl Sunday, and we regularly hold image and video contests," the moderator said.

My mom remembers them finding a child abuser/pedophile in their car on the way to the case with another kid in the back. She says she watched this entire gang pull out a frightened child and beat up the bad man, so this guy ended up with two sentences instead of just this one. She had no idea the dude was bad at the time and was scared as a kid cause to her they just took a kid out of the car and beat up her dad. But she says they're really cool and she knew some of them.

A former governor of my state once said, "All of the bad people bringing drugs, stealing, raping, and murdering our girls are BLACK MEN and we need to lock them up." He had no proof, was found to be lying and in fact all of the ACTUAL crimes were perpetrated by WHITES.

He also claimed that the dangerous chemicals in plastics were "Not a big deal and all they do is give women little beards." WTF?? EDIT: stupid typos

Joyce after winning cuz she knew they were trying to screw with her: b32899a790...fd1060.gif
Dr. Joyce Brothers won the $64,000 Question by answering all 9 parts. The topic was boxing and she had to compete against a panel of boxing experts. [I posted the question and answers in response to another commenter below.] When the game show scandal broke out some 3 years after Dr. Brothers' appearance, investigators found that some contestants were provided with the answers. Dr. Brothers was exonerated of any wrongdoing. Nat Fleischer, writer for The Ring Magazine, stated that Brothers had spent weeks in their NYC office. He hinted that Dr. Brothers had something of a photographic memory; she could read a page of statistics and recite it back from memory almost verbatim.
Here is the $64,000 (multi-part) Question Dr. Joyce Brothers answered correctly. What were the gloves of Roman gladiators in the Coliseum called? [Answer: Cestus] Who was the first scientific boxer, heavyweight champion of England in 1791? [Answer: Daniel Mendoza] What was the name of the heavyweight champion of England who taught a famous poet the art of boxing? [Answer: John “Gentleman” Jackson (The poet was Lord Byron)] Who wrote the famous essay 'The Fight' after having seen Bill Neat defeat Tom Hickman for the English heavyweight title in 1821, and what was Hickman's nickname? [Answer: William Hazlitt / Hic]

She was murdered by guillotine, as where her brother and a friend, all three on the same day.
She was a member of the German resistance movement of Christian students The White Rose (Die Weiße Rose), co-founded by her brother Hans. Sadly, all members were arrested and killed in 1943 after they were denounced...
I thought this was the White Rose students. I read a play based on them once.

And today the cause she died for is molested by morons and idiots all around the world while they are constructing the most bizarre conspiracy theories and doubting even the most basic facts.
Throwback To 5 Years Ago When Tony Fauci, At 74 Yo, Was Suiting Up To Treat An Ebola Patient Himself Because He "Wanted To Show His Staff That He Wouldn't Ask Them To Do Anything He Wouldn't Do Himself". This Is What Leadership Looks Like
I really, really respect this man for all he has been put through. He has remained calm and unbothered through all the crap. He is a hero.
The only people who hate in him are the ones who could never come close to his smarts!

Wish there was more of this kind of leadership, even on smaller levels. How many of us has worked for a manager who would rather hide in their office when things got busy than roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty pitching in to help?
I as well have fathoms of respect for 'Tony' Fauci. He stood up to Dump and for that he was basically hung out on a cross. @Watching - You are so right, he got himself off of that cross with perfect calm. Unbothered and resilient. Everytime he was essentially crucified again on the news, all that he did was that adorable chuckle. I would trust this man with my life.

Load More Replies...She is very brave. Respect. But that doesn't mean that women who do not fight are not brave. Most women calculate that if they do nothing they will probably live to tell. Rapists prey on this situation. Sometimes the rapist just is too strong, too big, too convincing. I have known cases where there was no violence at all, just a man so powerful that the woman became frightened for her life and let him do. This is not cowardly, just survival.

Good boy Noah. This doesn't mean you must become a fireman when you are older. Be humble, be kind, stay as amazing as you already are.
Amazing how he managed to keep his cool and not panic at the tender age of five. He also had great presence of mind and immediately understood what needed to be done, then did all of it. Plenty of adults wouldn’t make that connection and just dissolve into panic and fear. As to commenters dissing the parents, we don’t have all the facts. While it is possible the parents were neglectful and left the kids alone in the house, or were drunk or wasted and slow to respond, the article doesn’t mention any of that, plus there are other plausible explanations too. Maybe the parents weren’t awake, or weren’t aware the kids’ room was in peril, or maybe he was faster than they were and got everything done before they got there. Until we know more we shouldn’t pass judgement.
A little hero! My grandpa got some kind of honorary award from the fire department once when he went into a burning house to save an elderly neighbor lady...both ended up being okay. My mom would tell me this story and ask me if I've ever touched a real hero before and I would say no, so I would touch my Grandpa's arm and go..wowww!!!

Genuine question: why was he allowed to donate after having received a donation himself? Whenever I donate I have to state I haven't received blood myself (among many other formal questions). Pardon my English :) I really do think this man is a true hero!
It all depends. Some people especially during certain decades and from certain countries are allowed to donate after transfusions. Most countries won’t allow people to donate if they lived in the UK during a certain time or if they had the transfusion during that time due to the risk of mad cows.

Let's also mention that more Iranians died because of the cruel US sanctions imposed on them than they would have otherwise. I am fascinated that sites like BP always somehow evade facts that reveal the inhumanity of western governments who claim to be the be all and end all of human rights.
Hear! HEAR!!! I was listening to an interview yesterday (1/25/21 - yeah.. just got this thread) and the gentleman Doctor was talking about his life's work. CLOSING THE GAP WITH VACCINATIONS!! This man at 76 is still working to help continue to mandate vaccinations for schools in the US. And also - rework the vaccination schedule for babies to lesson the fear for parents. He also worked in India. India has had a law in place since the late 1800's that they can enact at will to force its citizens to be vaccinated. This Doctor was there when they had to reenact it when India's children were dying and/or being stunted by such diseases as TT, DPT, and Polio. It is possible it will be done again once the world has an ACTUAL COVID VACCINE THAT IS PROVEN TO WORK.

Three Teenage Girls Living In The Netherlands During World War II Spent Their Evenings Talking To German Soldiers, Extracting Information From Them And Then Luring Them Into The Woods And Shooting Them
From left to right, Freddie Oversteegen, Hannie Schaft and Truus Oversteegen, with a gun. Hannie was later captured on March 1945, picked up after a routine check and taken to the Amsterdam House of Detention, where she was tortured by the Nazis. She was executed on April 17, 1945, just 18 days before the liberation of the Netherlands.
I believe the one in the middle is Truus, she and Freddie were sisters and both under 18 when they joined the resistance

That Guy Is Right
I'm conflicted over this one. I'm not in favor of people taking justice in their own hands. But when the system fails you... what would you do? Especially in cases as gruesome as this one... Was he right to shoot this man down? Maybe he could have recorded the conversation... I don't know. His little girl didn't have her father from 6 to 19... That's quite a heavy consequence even if he did was felt right. But it was also a radical way to prevent this man from abusing more children.
Recording the conversation wouldn't have helped. Inadmissible in court since he didn't consent to being recorded and it took place in his own home. I get what you're saying, but the recording would have done no one any good. Personally I would have suggested beating the s**t out of him until he was only half dead since that's a lesser prison term, but his size would have made that difficult. That being said, this isn't taking justice into their own hands. This is taking revenge because there is no justice. The guy doesn't seem to have any illusions about that.

I’m not advocating one way or the other, I just know, to those children and their families, justice was done because the perpetrator took the innocence, security, everything a child should have growing up and destroyed it.
Wait a f*****g minute. So they did not have enough evidence and LATER they searched his house. Shouldn't they have done it, like, a LOT sooner?!?!
Based on this story, I'm guessing that this happened in the U.S. The police are stupid and don't listen to the girls or women who get raped. They hesitate to arrest a man because of the stupid patriarchy going on here in this country.
Load More Replies...I'm in no way condoning this, but 13 years? If the child had shot the man, it would be self-defense with most likely very minimal consequences, right? So how did a man protecting his child, who was taunted by the scum, rate such a long sentencing, especially since the police found evidence that it wasn't an isolated incident and indicated that he never would have stopped? Even if he showed little remorse, how could a jury not see that this wasn't the action of a man who would make a habit of killing people if he had been free to go about his life?
A jury is made up of random citizens. Even just the opinions here vary greatly. Some states have a minimum sentence, some people believe you just can't kill someone outright and not go to jail. That's how, I think.
Load More Replies...no, don't kill all the paedos. Kill all the child molesters. They are not the same thing. Kill the child molesters, get help for the paedophiles who don't molest children.

Anti Vaxxers Will Say It’s Fake
That's what privilege does to people. They don't have the experience to see children die from a disease. This reminds me of one doctor who became a writer, Bulgakov, he has short stories of his experience in a town as the only physician. Just starting out and a child comes in with diphtheria. The child is choking and hypoxic. he needs to open the airway. And it's a dramatic short story of an inexperienced doctor saving a life. Everytime I read about antivaxx I remember him and remember how he described the tears of the mother and how she begged for him to save her child. I despise antivaxxers.

When people say vaccines don't work, just ask them when they last saw anyone with smallpox.
After 170 years of vaccination against smallpox, it took the brilliant Dr Henderson only 10 years to eradicate it using the Leicester method of quarantine, which also works without vaccination. It's also called surveillance and containment, or ring vaccination if vaccination is used. He eradicated smallpox by ceasing the mass vaccination programs to redirect resources to surveillance and containment. This gave him the funds and manpower needed to trace cases of smallpox. All contacts were then vaccinated instead of quarantined.

Dr. Alfa Sa'adu, 68, Came Out Of Retirement To Fight This Pandemic. Today, He Became 4th Doctor To Die From The Virus In The UK
My grandma, may she rest in peace, often volunteered at the hospital when they were understaffed, many years after she had retired (she was a doctor, a specialist in oncology - the field dealing with cancer). I often think that if she had still been with us today, she would have volunteered again to assist with COVID patients, even though old people are most vulnerable to the virus.
Not coincidentally, 4th UK doctor to die = 4th nonwhite UK doctor to die. First Dr. Amged El-Hawrani, then Dr. Adil El Tayar, then Dr. Habib Zaidi, then Sa'adu. So much for currently virulent England First nationalism, "the Oxford vaccine" and the cabinet's plan to print a Union Jack on each dose (even though developed by Turks with a German nationality, produced in Belgium and even the Oxford lab led by an international group headed by a Belgian).
...and to think there are some imbeciles who believe all this pandemic is a hoax, fck! >:-$
Thank you Dr. Sa'adu for your selfless services and for saving the lives of so many of our loved ones.

Nadya Tolokonnikova Risks Her Life To Protest Authoritarianism In Russia
This is what having a dictator looks like - you can't say anything negative about the government. Cuba under Castro, China, and Russia all are true dictatorship.
Try living in “the world’s largest democracy”, India, where you can be imprisoned under false charges because you spoke up against an authoritarian government or come from a minority group.
Load More Replies...Cracks me up - a couple of years ago, I was working in a gas station that got a lot of international visitors because we're near Death Valley. One day, a group of young Russians were browsing and talking to each other in Russian. An older dude walks in wearing a MAGA hat. He hears them talking and assumes they're German or Israeli. When they say they're Russian, he starts going "Oh Russia...that Vladimir Purina, he's quite the guy huh? Isn't he great?" He's just going on about how great Putin is. They're all awkwardly looking at each other but staying quiet until one of the girls by the register laughed very loudly and sarcastically and said "No! He is ASSHOLE!". The guy was just dumbfounded because he assumed all Russians loved Putin. So he asks..why don't you all protest and vote him out of office if he's so bad. Another one spoke up and said "Because protesting is illegal." Maga man couldn't believe it. He muttered something under his breath, bought his beer, and left. I apologized and took 10% off their total for them having to endure Maga man.
I never understood why Pussy Riot didn’t defect. They clearly understand the dictatorship Putin has put forth. They are heroes for speaking out and being abused for it.

I'm autistic and can just about draw a stick man, I'm sure I have some hidden skill somewhere else I'm yet to find
Good luck to you :) I'm autistic as well. It's ok, btw, to be autistic and not have a hidden skill. Though one could argue everyone, autism or no, has skills of some kind. There are many skills we know about, but overlook- such as kindness, patience, etc.
Load More Replies...He has done it for London, Paris, Barcelona, and a few other cities. Try an image search, the images are astounding.
He has an incredible talent. Sometimes people have additional struggles in life that are balanced by additional gifts.
If there is one thing I can say it's please remember to ask high-functioning people if they want support as well! (ask, don't assume) One of my biggest struggles is people often think high functioning means "autism Light"- in that none of your symptoms are pervasive or severe, which is not always true for all. Sometimes it just means you fit enough requirements to "pass" as normal, whatever that is. I have great people skills, business skills, etc.- but I will STILL cry like a little baby if a stranger taps my shoulder. I kid you not.
I am autistic, but I feel conflicted... do I want to be known as "an autistic artist?" or just "an artist?" On the one hand, you inspire others like you. On the other, people attribute your talents to your autism, which may, or may not, be true, and to varying degrees... or they support you out of pity. "Oh, that's really good... for someone with autism!" Simultaneously, people will think "oh you're autistic, so you must have a special talent!"... Damn I just don't know what to do. Advice, people!

His Life Continued To Rise After The Titanic Sunk
Well, he was a rather complex character, because to counterbalance his heroism, during WW1 after sinking German submarine UB-110 during WW1, he apparently ordered his crew to open fire on the survivors rather than pick them up because he thought submarine war dishonourable. The Royal Navy swept this under the rug, because it's not the only incident of this sort to happen during the first battle of the Atlantic. To quote the man himself: "In fact it was simply amazing that they should have had the infernal audacity to offer to surrender, in view of their ferocious and pitiless attacks on our merchant ships. Destroyer versus Destroyer, as in the Dover Patrol, was fair game and no favour. One could meet them and take them on as a decent antagonist. But towards the submarine men, one felt an utter disgust and loathing; they were nothing but an abomination, polluting the clean sea."
He wasn’t on the ship til the end. He survived by clinging onto an overturned lifeboat not raft.
He would have been on until the end if the boiler explosion hadn't blown him free.

Eh, most cases on House are rather well known conditions. While they are often rare, most doctors would know them because those "intersting" conditions are often lectured about at medical schools. The problem with the show is that their diagnostic methods are completely off the rails. The patients often have diseases that would show up in routine diagnostics, but House never does routine diagnostics. If there's a cheap and simple test for a condition, you can be sure that they won't do it.

This isn't an issue of defining death though, this is an issue of misdiagnosis. He very clearly was not brain dead so the doctors either failed to test him properly or just made an assumption. It is also possible that there was an error in the tests, but in that case the docs should have redone it at the father's request. Regardless, unless this gentleman had a living will stating no extreme measures the doctors had no right to take him off life support without his family's approval.

I don't remember the outcome of the firemen's strike exactly but I can tell you that hospital staff were on strike for more than one year to protest the organised decay of public health. They didn't get anything and were even beaten by the police. That was just 2 months before the government started to call them heroes due to that pandemic the country was completely unprepared to deal with.

Reminds me of a article I saw years ago about some police who were looking for a guy hiding in a house. One of the officers said “Marco” jokingly and the dumb guy they were looking for said “polo” from his hiding spot. 🤣

Bouncer Takes Down Gunman Walking Into A Club
When I was a teenager, I was at a dance club with a friend and my boyfriend. He chose this night to break up with me. Sobbing, my girlfriend said "Let's go to the ladies room, get you cleaned up and go find you a real man." As we walked past the entrance towards the restrooms...a skinny older man (who was totally out of place in a teen dance club) was walking next to us when we hear "clunk." We looked down to see a gun on the floor. He quickly snatched it up and ran for the men's room. We bolted to the ladies restroom, then got brave enough to find a bouncer and tell them what we saw. The guy was detained without a gun. When we told them he went to the restroom first, a search found the gun in the bottom of the trash bin. He had planned to rob the place. I'm just glad we were there to see him with it..otherwise no one would have known.
Anita Ekberg
I feel for celebrities and the constant s**t they get from paparazzi's, but this should just read "crazed celeb shoots photographer with bow and arrow"
Is this metal or just criminal? She should not be followed and hounded however it's an unfortunate side of the career she choose. If you feel for celebrities regarding paparazzi then don't consume their ware. Demand and supply sadly.
A career does not come with an acceptance of stalkers. She chose to be an entertainer that comes with entertaining. Celebrities do not owe us their privacy.

Ah, yes, an injured man covered in blood... better shoot him(!) Great logic.
If you live in the country and help us a long way off, it is smart to be cautious. However, warning shots are usually high in the air...

Load More Replies...How about Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станисла́в Евгра́фович Петро́в) was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces who played a key role in the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident. On 26 September 1983, three weeks after the Soviet military had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to five more. Petrov judged the reports to be a false alarm, and his decision to disobey orders, against Soviet military protocol, is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that could have resulted in a large-scale nuclear war. An investigation later confirmed that the Soviet satellite warning system had indeed malfunctioned. Without him, it's likely NONE OF US would be here to read about him.
These are some truly incredible, inspiring and extremely strong people. Well done to them and their amazing efforts/achievements. One that is was surprised that didn’t get a mention was Desmond Doss. He was a combat medic who refused to kill anyone or carry a weapon due to his beliefs. The military tried to force him to quit and when that didn’t work they tried to court martial him for refusing a direct order to hold a gun but his religious freedoms saved him from dishonourable discharge and he was allowed on the front lines. During an ambush by the Japanese soldiers on top of Hacksaw Ridge ALL the US soldiers (that were able) started retreating back down the cliff, except one. Desmond Dodd went searching for anyone still alive and sending them down the cliff to safety. He saved 75 people that day, when the US soldiers stormed Hacksaw ridge slowly taking over Okinawa, Desmond Dodd’s was wounded severely from a Japanese grenade and as he was trying to get to safety he was shot by a sniper. Even when he was severely injured he told the ‘litter-bearers’ to take another man to safety first before rescuing him. He literally would choose to die just so another can live. He died at the age of 87 after his ONLY lung failed as he had one of his lungs (and 5 ribs) were removed approx 50 years prior after suffering tuberculosis.
Thank you! We need to read more about our hero's and the good people do!
