30 Incredibly Dangerous Things That Most People See As Safe

Those animal chiropractor on internet actually scares he living daylights out of me.. I mean yoo chill!

Chiropractic treatments are full of quacks. One I had been to who was a very nice, sincere man died of covid because he thought himself magically (my word) immune. But when you consider how many hundreds of thousands of people die each year simply because of medicine mix-ups, one tragic accident doesn't bear much light on the entire profession.

You can go to the Chiro and request them not to touch your neck. I am a bit scared of this as well, but my lower back needs some good help so I would just do that

My grandfather was a chiro and I was always a bit scared of him as a kid. Because he thought it was funny to crack our necks. :( I guess my parents didn't know any better back then. If they saw someone doing that to one of their grandkids they'd freak out!

have never been to one and never will. the idea of 'adjusting' just doesn't sound appropriate for any joint unless it is visible in an xray that it is dislocated

My daughter watched the movie Death Proof with me and says ever since watching it she will NEVER put her feet up like that. It literally scared her to be safe.

In short, your legs will get shattered and your shins and femurs will probably impale you

Don't think your hip bone is supposed to be over there!

I don't put my feet like that but my knees. I have to half lay in the seat, knees up against the headrest or whatever is in front of me and then tilt my head to the left side. This is so far the only way she I don't feel horrible sick. I know it's not safe but I get car sick since I was a child and I am so glad that after more than the decades I finally found a position where it's ok to be a car passenger so I will keep it that way I fear. (Pills don't help that much)

Quick way to become adigitigrade walker

Was at work sn on my way to a different location. My coworker, who was driving, got actually insulted when I wanted to put on my seat belt. He said he was a very good driver and always paid attention and I was really safe I his car. Even when I mentioned other people making mistakes or even doing something crazy, he was sure he would be able to outmanoevre it because of his reaction skills. I told him I'd wear my seat belt, or he's going to do the work all by himself.

It's illegal in many countries, including the UK, to not wear a seatbelt.

That's obvious, my mum's seat belt was defective and a quick brake put her face into the windscreen.

Still remember when a minibus flipped over beside my house (thankfully no one died). Wear your seatbelts.

I saw a crash test where the rear passenger dummy was not buckled up. It smashed its head into the front seat, which sent the "driver" dummy's head into the dashboard.

I thought this was common knowledge... we literally got taught this in secondary school... prevent bacterial resistance by avoiding unnecessary prescription and all that.

Overuse of antibiotics (such as when they are not needed) also leads to development of "superbugs" i.e. antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

At least in Spain, in order to avoid self-medication with antibiotics, only the exact amount needed for the treatment is served. Not one more, not one less

Yupyup. Can you buy them over the counter??? In the UK, we can only get antibiotics from the Doctor's surgery, who would know the score.

My grandmother was a very sick child growing up in scotland in the 40s and 50s. Got scarlet fever, diptheria and a whole host of other illnesses. 2 things came out of that, they pumped her with so much penicillin that she is now deathly allergic to it and scarlet fever damaged her heart

My teenage son is a dish pick and now I am terrified! Thank you.

Another knife/kitchen rule: A dropped knife has no handle

Use knife. Wash knife. Put it back in the rack

As an upholsterer: never leave the long needle in the seat (for old fashioned upholstery we use needles from twenty to thirty centimetres, like three millimetres thick, pointy on both sides - for fitting the filling and so on)

And if you drop ANY knife take a step back let it fall, don't loose an appendage trying to catch one...

Who sprays perfume down there? If there's a bad smell, maybe see a doctor.

This is confusing, because "female hygiene products" is a very broad term that applies to cleansers like this is describing, but also to tampons. It is true that scented products for that area, including scented menstrual products, are a terrible idea. Especially scented tampons, which sit on the inside of the vagina where there's no benefit from the scent and the irritants do maximum damage.

Douching was a HUGE thing in the 50s-80s, and then we smartened up. There used to be HILARIOUS commercials for douche! I remember my mom encouraging me to use one after my period. I did, and it was WEIRD AF, and I vowed to NEVER do that again. The vagina is PH balanced on its own. Just wash the vulva, ladies, and you’ll be fine!

The oldtime "douch with lysol" ads weren't about cleanliness - it was for birth control. They couldn't advertise it as that, but before the pill, women would douche with spermicide after sex to reduce the chance of pregnancy.

if the lady bits are putting out an odor then it's time to go to the doctor. somewhere in time someone decided that the natural processes of the body - especially for women - should be shaved, perfumed or covered.
