    I heard a joke once that went like this:
    There’s two men defusing a time bomb in a building. One has the scissors for cutting the wires, and the other is reading from the bomb defusal manual.
    The guy reading from the manual says “It says here to cut the blue wire…”

    *STORY FOR YOU*
    In Ottawa Canada, back in 2001, I knew a guy who had stolen some stuff from The Bay store on Rideau street. When the LP officers gave chase, he ran out the store and ran into some cops who were sitting outside (might have been having a coffee or chatting, I don’t know). When the LP officer yelled, the cops gave chase too.
    He took off and while running from the police, he had ran into a parking garage and went up to the 2nd level. The garage had an open wall on the south side of the structure on each floor so you could see outside, with just a 3’ wall to stop cars from going over.
    He ran to the end and looked down to see a dumpster full of garbage bags. So he jumped in thinking it would break his fall.
    Turned out it was a construction dumpster filled with demolition materials (drywall, framing, steel studs, glass and garbage bags etc). He jumped in feet first and it ended up that he impaled his “sun don’t shine” area with a split 2x4 with nails.
    Needles to say, the doctors couldn’t really help him and he ended up winning a fork in a socket trophy.

    In 2013, an unknown 60-year-old Belarusian fisherman was out fishing when he suddenly spotted a beaver. Wanting to have his picture taken with it, the man made the incredibly dumb decision to try and grab the 30 kg rodent. Now beavers have large skulls with powerful chewing muscles, as well as four chisel-shaped incisors that are really sharp--sharp enough to gnaw through tree bark and wood--that continue to grow throughout their lives. In other words, it would REALLY hurt if the beaver decided to bite him, which of course was exactly what ended up happening. The beaver gave the overly-handsy fisherman a nasty bite, and he eventually bled to death as a result. Moral of the story: admire nature, but do so from a distance.

While I don’t know if the story is true or not, I do know that Duluth now uses the motto “stronger than an angry beaver’s teeth” when advertising their workpants.

    I have one from when I was a teenager.
    A local boy in Auburn, CA, let’s call him Felix for this story, was apparently going to dive off the No Hands Bridge into the American River in March of 2010.
    Here’s a problem though. That river is pure snow melt and no one really swims in it til summer time and the water’s warmed up a bit. What’s worse is people have drowned in this river before.
    But he was throwing caution to the wind I guess so he jumped in and died from drowning cause the sudden shock of the cold water made him reflexively gasp for air and filled his lungs with water. He wasn’t found til two months later miles down river.
    What’s tragic is he was a high school senior and about to graduate with the rest of us.

    Y-Pestis is actually not Bubonic plague, it’s Pneumonic plague which is significantly deadlier. It was a specific strain of the Black Death which made up the majority of fatalities. It was this strain Giovanni Boccaccio was referring to when he said “Plague victims had lunch with their friends, and dinner with their ancestors in paradise.”

    • @Berniej.Janinsky
      @Berniej.Janinsky 2 місяці тому +2

      Correct me if I'm wrong: The Black Death was a combination of the Bubonic Plague (from inception to death: two weeks & a slim chance of survival), the Pneumonic Plague (from inception to death: four days - no chance of survival) & Septicemia (from inception to death: EIGHT HOURS!)

In order for bubonic plague to occur the bacteria would have to have been injected directly into the bloodstream via an infected rat bite, along with whatever other bacteria were in the rats saliva, diluting it, hence why the survival chance of bubonic plague are relatively high compared to pneumatic.

    I have a story from my country: In 1996, the competition organizers were surprised by a candidate from Poland. The award went to a farmer, Krzysztof A., who decided to prove that he was the biggest macho in the world by cutting off his own head. The winner, together with a group of drunk friends, organized a masculinity competition. When one of the participants cut off his leg with a chainsaw, he responded to the challenge by decapitating himself. This is not the end of the story, over the body of the "champion of masculinity" one of the friends paid a short tribute with these words: "even though in his youth he dressed in his sister's underwear, in the end he died like a man".

    In January of 2019, an unknown man from Massachusetts died after eating a bag and a half of black liquorice every day for a few weeks, which caused so low potassium levels in his body that his heart stopped. Liquorice contains glycyrrhizinic acid, which along with its metabolite glycyrrhetinic acid interferes with the body's ability to retain potassium by mimicking the hormone aldosterone, resulting in excessive excretion of the nutrient in cases of overconsumption, a condition referred to as pseudohyperaldosteronism. If you ever needed another reason to avoid eating black liquorice, here you go!

In an attempt to film a gender reveal worthy of posting online, members of her family filled a steel umbrella stand with gunpowder. Instead of emitting a shower of sparks as intended, the metal pipe failed to contain the overpressure, and the device acted as a pipe bomb instead. Kreimeyer was struck in the head by a metal fragment and was killed instantly. When will people learn that explosives and gender reveal parties rarely mix well?

      Yeah. The Soviet tech in the nuclear research facility does not deserve a Darwin because
      A.) He had no way of knowing how the plutonium would react to being placed in that particular container. Ignorance is not stupidity. In fact, when the plutonium reacted badly, he did the smart thing and ran as fast as his legs could carry him, which probably saved his life.
      B.) If he hadn't obeyed orders, he likely would have been executed as a "counter-revolutionary." We ARE talking about Soviet Russia here, with their notorious "military efficiency" where they just gun down soldiers who are SUSPECTED of disobeying orders, without trial. And there's no way in hell a nuclear research facility is a civilian operation in the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics.
      C.) Unless the radiation that cost him his legs also damaged his reproductive organs to the point of impotence or otherwise rendered him sterile, he can still reproduce.

He even tested it out beforehand to show her it was safe and the bullet didn’t go through the book when he did. So she finally agreed to it to make him happy, and they had so much confidence that it would work, they did it live in front of their friends and family (there were children around, and I think everyone was dumb for that. Keep children as far away from guns as possible).

A lot of people theorize he really wanted to go through with it as a double win for himself. If he dies, people will forever remember the story. And it was also possible by how much he pushed, he was trying to get her to help him in an assisted suicide.

    The tire explosion was not caused by the expansion on the air. It was caused by the burning of the coating on the rim inside. Under high pressure, there is more oxygen in a smaller area, and this caused a thermal runaway effect due to the combustion of the epoxy coating on the rim. Therefore, more combustion gasses cause the pressure to increase, not simply heating the air inside. This is actually a well documented phenomenon, and it is common knowledge to NEVER weld on tire rims.

    with the exploding tire incident you would need way more heat over an even area to explode the tire what the main contributor was probably the high temperature over the small area caused the rubber to weaken or melt or both causing the tire to explode, keep in mind that truck tires like that are often inflated up to 125 psi and with that much volume it is more than enough to end a person.

      I actually posted a comment about this up top. It's a documented phenomenon caused by the burning of the epoxy coating on tire rims. Remember, under high pressure, air has MUCH more oxygen molecules in a smaller area. This leads to a thermal runaway reaction causing rapid build-up of combustion gases. This causes over pressure and rupture of the tire. There are some pretty scary videos on UA-cam where they use a robot to weld on a pressurized tire with scary results. 😮

Roth was already under the influence when he went to visit his friend in Pennsylvania, who happened to own a cobra. Roth stuck his hand in the snake’s tank, and the snake objected. When Roth was bitten, his friend recommended they go to the emergency room immediately; but Roth refused, and instead went to a nearby bar. By the time his friend finally persuaded him to go to the hospital, it was too late; Roth died on the way, from a combination of drugs, alcohol, and cobra venom. do you like it?

    I remember a story my dad told me like 2 years ago ( I don't really remember every part of the story, but I can remember some of the juicy stuff) , we were talking about poaching and how much we hate it but then my dad told me a story about his friend who saw 2 poachers while he was riding his car in field full of animals. He was a part of a group that stops poachers so he rushed to the spot were the poacher were going and he saw they were ready to shoot an animal. I can't remember what animal was it actually was, it might be a Giraffe or a Rhino but any ways, while they were ready to shoot it, but my dad's friend ready his shot. What my dad told me, his friend shot one of them in the leg and the other poacher ran away leaving his friend behind. My dad friends manage to track down were he was running and the poacher was running to a river called the Mokolo river, a river in Limpopo , South Africa. The poacher jumped into the river to escape, but my dad's friend was waiting for him on the other side, but the poacher never made it to the other side because he was attacked an killed by a crocodile. The poacher that was shot in the leg was sent to jail mean while barely anything was left of the poacher that was killed the crocodile. As much I want to believe it me and my dad has questions if the story is true since his friend like making jokes. The only time I had a moment to talk to him about the story was when I visit him last year but I forgot about the story completely and I only remember about the story about when I got home. I remember while watching this video with my dad on the TV, I told him about the story and I said it would be nice to see that story on this series and he agree's but there isn't any photo's of it so we just watch on and then I got an idea that I should comment the story on this video, he laught and said no, but then I told him usually in night times I do the weirdest things and most of the time I won't take no as the answer. He knew I would tell the story in the comments, but either he's to tired or he didn't care, he said nothing and just smiled so this is why I'm telling the story.

    Slight correction on the guy trying to get his hat from the Batman roller coaster: That particular coaster is an inverted coaster, so the seats hang from the bottom of the track, instead of riding on top of them. You know, the kind where your feet dangle. There's one part of the coaster that swoops low to the ground before going up and over a building. It's pretty cool to see because it almost passes over you while you're waiting in line. So this guy went back through the line again, jumped the fences, and went to grab his hat right as the coaster was going by. He wasn't struck by the coaster car, he was struck by a rider's leg, which, no surprise, broke on impact. The difference between the fence before and after the incident was truly wild. It's twice as high and has barbed wire around the top of it now, with even bigger signs. I always felt bad for the poor guy who suffered a broken leg and hand to deal with the knowledge that he was involved in someone's death, through no fault of his own. The ride itself is pretty cool though, definitely recommend if you're a coaster enthusiast and find yourself in Atlanta. 😅

    Now my question is, why did they think divine intervention would take a break from helping people in actual need to help someone showing off.
