Women tend to live longer than men across the world.
According to the UN, in 2023, women’s global life expectancy was 75.9 years, compared to just 70.5 for men. That’s quite a gap, and if you’re wondering what might be behind it, we’ve found a pretty entertaining clue.
The aptly named subreddit Why Women Live Longer has all the proof you need—photo after photo of men doing things so jaw-droppingly reckless, you’ll question how they’ve made it this far.
Scroll down to see the chaos for yourself, and please, whatever you do, don’t try this at home. Or anywhere.

They're wearing harnesses, can't tell if those are attached to lanyards, but typically you wouldn't bother with a harness otherwise. Regardless, professional iron workers who work at those heights aren't dumb or reckless. They have to prove themselves before they're allowed up that high on the iron. They know exactly what they're doing. (Am married to a former iron worker)

People Make Me Wonder Sometimes
the railing is the actual weak point of the system, but it may come as a surprise that THIS IS A RELATIVELY SAFE SETUP!... Ratchet straps can easily hold over a ton, and the aluminum stair may be able to hold just as much, but this setup is exerting lot of force on the railing. Assuming a 90 kg guy, 7 meters in on a 8 meters long stair, with connections at 4 and 8 meters, the top straps are exerting at most a total of about 455N on the railing. By Residential Building Code must be able to bear 200 pounds (890N) at any point, so the guy is working with a safety factor of at least 2. Good enough.
Load More Replies...I think trump eliminated OSHA or at least diminished their authority. He doesn't like worker safety regulations.

I got caught In the middle of a brick fight when I around 10. I Was walking to my aunts house just around the corner from ours and as I turned on to her road a brick come flying through the air and hit me on the side of the head. Literally knocked me to the floor. I obviously started crying and when I saw blood was screaming for my aunt ( I was 30 seconds from her house). A&E trip and 16 stitches later I missed the event I was going to my aunts for in the first place.
Still, while we know women live longer than men (as these chaotic photos may strongly imply), the exact reasons behind the gap are not fully understood.
And to be clear, living longer doesn’t necessarily mean living better.
According to Bérénice Benayoun, an associate professor at the U.S.C. Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, women tend to have shorter health spans (the number of years they live in good health) compared to men.
They’re also more physically frail in old age, and after menopause, they become more vulnerable to certain conditions like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. That’s partly because age itself is a risk factor, as Dr. Benayoun pointed out.

As a former certified welder I can tell those sparks are nothing compared to what welding does. Unless there is a leak in one of those tanks nothing is going to happen and even if there where a leak they are not going to explode like you see in the movies. They gas will simply burn. All of the posters thinking that they will explode are the same kind of people that think gasoline tanks explode when shot like in the movies. It does not happen.
Not always true. Depends on the space around it, type of gas and severity of the leak. They can still explode I've seen this first hand

Load More Replies...So, what do we know about the longevity gap between the sexes?
One major factor is genetics.
A growing body of research suggests that the female XX set of chromosomes might have something to do with lifespan, though how exactly remains a bit of a mystery.
In 2018, Dr. Dubal’s lab conducted a study on genetically engineered mice with various combinations of s*x chromosomes and reproductive organs. The mice with two X chromosomes and ovaries lived the longest, followed by those with two Xs and testes. Those with XY chromosomes had the shortest lifespans.
Now, while that study hasn’t been replicated in humans yet, the parallels in hormones, chromosomes, and reproductive systems suggest we might see similar outcomes in people.

That happened to a guy in Maine several years back. Traumatized all the friends at the party for life.
A South Carolina man, 41-year-old Allen Ray McGrew, died on July 4th after placing a lit firework on his head during a neighborhood block party, according to police and local news reports. The Dorchester County Sheriff's Office said McGrew ignited a "large firework device" and placed it on his head, according to police and local news. Witnesses reported that he may have been trying to "show off" and family members tried to stop him. McGrew was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hormones are also part of the puzzle, though they make things trickier.
Some studies show that the female immune system is more robust when it comes to fighting infections, and women are less likely to die from sepsis.
But that advantage fades with menopause, when estrogen levels drop and the immune system weakens. Eventually, women begin to catch up, or even surpass men, in developing certain age-related diseases.
The Way They're Cutting Bricks
No water, no masks, doing it IN THEIR HANDS and directly in front of his CRO TCH....
My uncle was a brick layer in the Mojave Desert area and drank Coors all day long so, surprised I am not. He was missing two fingers BTW. You could get a DUI standing next to him.
I see a lot of underpaid workers doing this. Usually they are immigrants and are often exploited so no real concern about their safety. Cutting concrete and such without dust masks can really do a number on your lungs and overall health. And they usually smoke too. I feel really bad for them when I see this.

Okay, one more time. Do NOT attempt to suck the poison out. You're not on an old Western movie set. And don't amputate body parts. Your blood flows much, much faster than your ability to hack away at bitten parts.
That depends on where you start hacking - now if you start at the neck ... Actually binding the limb to slow blood flow is better. Apart from which getting bitten, then hacking off an appendage with a, presumably, grubby knife or axe may well lead to death by tetanus.

The Horror
I wouldn't do it but I see three rungs of overlap between each pair of ladders. Assuming they're tightly bound, he's done what he can for safety.
The Schmidt Pain Index Was Created By A Guy Who Intentionally Subjected Himself To The Sting / Bites Of 78 Different Species Of Hymenoptera (Bees, Wasps, Ants, Etc.) In Order To Quantify The Intensity Of Pain Experienced
To validate his findings, he got stung in both eyes for a double blind study.
There's a guy on YouTube who does this. He intentionally gets bitten/stung by venomous animals all over the world and rates the pain. His name is Coyote Peterson and he has a show on Animal Planet too. Apparently he's a wildlife educator. 🙄
The difference is that fool does it for views, not as a scientific study.
Load More Replies...While I respect his dedication, I don't understand how his findings could be accurate. After the first few bites, his body would be too accustomed to that kind of venom to give an actual idea of what it would feel like for the regular person.
This made me think of the "games" my roommates and I would play in college; pretty much all of them involved who could withstand different painful things the longest. It was usually a tie between me and the only other girl in the flat.
I've read some of the descriptions of the various stings. He goes into good detail, with some subjective and funny flourishes like he was trying out a fine wine.
I actually love this guy. He was a researcher on venom and actually has a book about each of the stings. Sadly he passed a few years ago but not before making some great documentaries.
I just want to add, for any curious Pandas, he did not die from insect-related causes XD He had Parkinson's disease and died aged 75.
Load More Replies...So, while there’s no single explanation for why women live longer, it’s likely a combination of biology, hormones, lifestyle choices, and, let’s be honest, some questionable risk-taking.
Whatever the dominant factor is, one thing’s clear: if you consistently put yourself in dangerous situations, you’re not doing your lifespan any favors.
So maybe skip the homemade rooftop zipline and the flaming hoverboard tricks. Just a thought.

I Think This Goes Here
Disagree. My dog is deaf, and she cannot hear cars or commands. The shock-collar, if used on low settings, doesn't hurt. How do I know, because I did exactly what this guy did, and put it around my neck, and shocked myself on each of the settings, taking note of how it feels. I then hired a professional trainer to help me work with my dog to use the collar to just get her attention so I can give her visual commands (sign-language for dogs). I can also use the collar to get her to just stop in her tracks (ie: keep her out of the road). At the settings that I use it feels like anything from as low as a tingle, to as high as a quick pinch of the skin. It cannot be used to electrocute her or give her a prolonged experience of pain like a tazer.
Load More Replies...My friend's family installed invisible fencing for their dog. As part of the training, the tech (or whoever) made them take turns wearing the collar and walking across the line. The reasoning? If you're going to zap your puppy you should know how it feels.
Okay, this may be an unpopular idea, but hear me out... We ban the shock collars for dogs, but require that all politicians have to wear them when participating in election debates. And, if elected to office, whenever giving a news conference or interview, or holding a hearing or giving testimony before a government committee, only then the collars have to be wired to a lie detector. Who's with me?
I knew someone who rescued a dog that had come from a bad situation. The dog was trained with a shock collar. They are set at an extremely low level shock, as to be just enough to distract the dog to bring its attention back to owner. The humans try it on first to see how it feels. There is the option of turning it up enough to end the dog in case someone is attacked. But reputable trainers and owners know the proper usage of the shock collar. In the wrong hands, though, they can really be harmful to the dog. Often my friend ŵould be at home with the collar not on the dog, she would just lift up the handpiece and show it to the dog and it would calm the dog down.
Unfortunately they are often used by untrained people and they use them as punishment, which is not the right way to use one. It can actually save a dog's life by keeping it from running in to traffic or chasing a coyote. As you say, it is intended to simply get the dog's attention, sort of like a tap on the shoulder when a dog is hyper focused. It is a very mild shock, less than what we would do with 9v batteries on our tongues as kids. They also have a buzz and a sound option which almost always accomplish the same thing is the stim.

Bonus points if, when you get it, you launch both the ball and yourself through the hoop.
That looks like a soccer ball to me. Not a basketball.
Load More Replies...10 yo me climbed through a skylight of a 2 storey building and shimmied down the roof on my backside to retrieve a ball in the gutter.
Tĥat truss forms a cage so probably can't fall out unless you work at it. Hardest part is crawling thru it.
I'm not gonna lie I've considered doing this but am not athletic enough.
How much does a new ball cost? how much does a trip to the hospital cost? Simple math has the answer.
Why not leave the ball and buy a new one? Much cheaper and safer. Idiot MAN!
It's Raining Man! Hallelujah!
You really couldn't construct kind of a telescope/broom stick with some cloth attached to the end, and work from the windows on both sides?! // On the other side, a lot of architects don't include "How can we clean/repair the window/random gadget/... that looks fitting here in like, every three months?" in their way of thinking. 😡
You can easily get a telescopic pole to do this job. This is just suic idal.

Texas A&M (USA) had a longstanding tradition of building a log bonfire on campus to be burned before the annual football game against The University of Texas at Austin. It was a symbol of school spirit and Aggie pride, attracting large crowds each year. That tradition ended on November 18, 1999, when the stack collapsed during construction, resulting in 12 deaths and 27 injuries.
There's a guy near me who stacks pallets in the bed of his ancient pick up truck. I would never want to be behind him while he's driving.

Cassowary would be funny too 😂 one kick KO
Load More Replies...He thinks he can beat a wolverine. An animal even bears avoid.. edit this is a great example of the whole alpha male culture. Just like computer programs in the alpha stage. Not much is working as intended and there is a long way to get a fully functional human brain.
It's stupid. He thinks he can beat a horse, an elk, and a moose. That's someone who's never thought about the sheer size of those animals. Komodo dragon? Well, you might have a chance if it's both asleep and cold and you're been training in how to deal with one. Otherwise - can you hear me laughing at the idea? They are huge and terrifying.
Load More Replies...Sorry Dave - you'd lose to every single one of those except maybe the dog & the wolverine... and even if you did win those, you'd probably end up in the hospital.
With no weapon, he would torn to bits by the wolverine.

Cassowaries are big and have long razor sharp claws and powerful legs. They can disembowel you in one kick. I've been up close to one in the wild - beautiful and terrifying at the same time. They won't come after you but you don't want to p**s them off. This guy is an idiot.
For People Who Really Hate Seatbelts
My sister died at 33 from this stupid, selfish (she has two small children) ideology. Clearly she got what she wanted.
I gather there's a reason why it's skull-shaped: It pretty much means the end of you in the event of a motor accident -_-"
I have one of these because I often have things in the back seat which set off the seat alarms, like a bag of horsefeed
For cargo you don't need one of these. Just fasten the seat belt, then throw in the cargo. This product is only necessary for people with a death wish who don't want the discomfort of a fastened belt underneath them.

Nope . The only thing proved here is your level of intelligence. (Here's a clue: it's not high.)
You'd never see a turtle post a video called "Being hit with a hammer to prove humans are weak". Turtles are too intelligent for that.

This one isn't too bad. I mean he should have someone hold2the ladder, and the legs of the ladder should probably adhered in some form to the wood spacer/buckets. But otherwise everything is strong enough to support the weight, and the ground is level. Plus realistically, if he fell, he'd most likely be relatively fine (as long as he doesn't land on his head and snap his neck).

Ethanol is just drinking alcohol. You're thinking of ethylene glycol, which is a type of alcohol. Ironically, drinking ethanol interferes with your liver breaking the ethylene glycol down into the stuff that actually kills you. It's even a legit medical treatment for antifreeze poisonings.

I see he's wearing his Genius Hat. Also, "to hot pot" is a new verb for me. No clue.
I guess it means illegally soak in hot springs, namely those too dangerous for a dip. Though I'd recommend trying a different kind of hot pot which is also hot as it's name suggest, but easier to digest, literally.
Load More Replies...The frustrating thing is the absolute arrogance. The walkways in the geothermal areas are *well* marked, the warning signs are everywhere. The guy and his sister chose one randomly, without any way to gauge the heat of the water, then used his bare hand to try to check the temp. Articles say he slipped and fell in, but I think the shock of the extreme high temp made him jerk back and then he fell in, fully immersed. The one they chose was extremely acidic as well. I feel so badly for the rescue team, having to deal with that.
There was one guy who's dog fell into a hot spring. People warned him to not jump in, but he did. They both passed away.
The only Hot Pot-ting anyone should do is ordering a Spicy Extreme at Hot Pot/Mala Kitchen. This was just painful to read but a needed reminder of our own mortality and intrusive thoughts -_-"
Ive Been Seeing This Guy Work On His House For A While Now... Finally Stopped For A Good Look
Sad part is, it looks like he had the resources to build much sturdier staging. The real way to do this is by using ladders, and special brackets that clip onto the ladders so you can lay boards across and create staging. They aren't super expensive, and if you know a roofer they should have tons of them you can borrow.
