    quick fun fact: that fire alarm box that locks your hand isn't as stupid as it looks. the piece that locks around your hand detaches from the box, meaning you can run away, you just have a cuff on your hand that identifies you until someone from law enforcement can release you. it's actually a pretty cool way to make sure that if people set off a fire alarm on purpose when there is no fire, they get punished.

      The movie was made at the height of the Great Depression. These are the people who would go on to fight in WWII, charging uphill into machinegun nests. They didn't give a single fuck about their own lives or anyone else's.

    • @Bacteriophagebs
      @Bacteriophagebs 2 роки тому +42

      @VeeVee Uver They were still using actual live ammo in movies at the time, too. They'd have sharpshooters shoot near the actors in a way that would (hopefully) ricochet away from them, or rig machineguns on mounts that wouldn't let them shoot in the places where the actors would be.
      Despite all this and a few close calls, no one was ever actually killed.
      With the invention of squibs (little explosives that simulate bullet impacts) the live ammo practice died out. Eventually. It was still cheaper to use live ammo, after all, and most actors were willing to put up with it because, again, zero fucks to give.

    I studied design for a few years and the first thing they taught us is most decisions are made in less than an instant, especially purchasing decisions, this is why packaging and branding is so important, buying is almost an instinctive action, near identical packaging has in my life usually lead to me accidentally buying salad dressing instead of mayonnaise or the wrong type of cookie, but damn having your cold drinks and bleach nearly be indistinguishable is an utter failure of one of the first and most important aspects of design

In 6th grade he was on crutches and during that time period the fire alarm went off. our math teacher didnt want him to be trapped in the building until it was over so he picks up my friend bridal style and brings him out of the building. I was absent that day so i missed it but its hilarious to us and now that ive remembered the story i am definitely going to remind him of it too.

    A little while back I saw an explanation for the fire alarm that locks onto your wrist. The part that locks on detaches from the box when the alarm is pulled. You're still able to leave the building, you just have a piece of metal around your arm that you need the fire fighters to remove. It's not a great design, but it's at least not as bad as the picture makes it look.

    Another piece of dangerous design: a friend of mine has a genesis car and one of the safety precautions is that if the driver is not wearing a seatbelt while driving, the car will completely stop. So once, his niece was driving it to switch parking spots, she didn’t put it on. While on the turn, it stopped and wouldn’t move if she stepping on the pedal, so she was in a panic. Then she put the seatbelt on and it became fine again. (Imagine stopping on the shoulder of the highway, forgetting to put your seatbelt back on, and going back on it)

    6:06 It gets even worse. From what I've heard, the people who made that slide weren't even engineers, they had no experience in making waterslides, and when they tested it out using mannequins, some came back with huge dents in their heads and some completely decapitated. They managed to make the slide slightly safer and used employees to test out the slide, most employees came back with teeth missing. Despite this, they opened the slide anyway. Suprisingly the ride worked, other than the fact people would loose teeth, eventually, the lost teeth of the people who rode the slide got caught in the sides and ended up cutting people who rode the slide. All this may be a myth, but it's what I've heard.

    What is so horrifying is that the showerheads have almost always drenched the toilet and the sink, including your clothes since you can't leave your clothes outside of the bathroom, since there's always cameras. So you have to very carefully use the blanket you sleep with to shield your towel and clothing and try to dangle it off the sink and create a little tent to keep them in

It is dangerous to put anything in the mouth of a people having a seizer, as they could accidentally swallow something, bite YOU, or yes, break something. A person post-seizure is NOT coherent or entirely conscious. You can ask them to sit up a million times but they just can’t understand because they’re so disoriented.

      And then they got banned because the cage sometimes came detached from the window, sending the baby plunging to its death. This would work if it was built into the building or professionally installed, but I believe these were purchased and self-installed.

    On the topic of the rectal and oral thermometers being labeled, those seem to be a multi-location use thermometer, in which case you need to reprogram it every time you want to use it in a different spot because of differences in body temperature. They probably just bought two and programmed one for oral and one for rectal, to avoid having to reprogram the damn thing every time they need to take a temperature differently. Especially seeing as those are the kind that have removable plastic one time use covers, so they not only get sanitized and cleaned but they don't have much if any contact to begin with.

These stupid knob shifters aren't super dangerous though, it's electronically controlled, it will not go into the gear you selected until the vehicle comes to a complete stop or at least a very slow speed. I believe an alert will also display and sound on the gauge cluster display telling you what you just did so that you can correct it. Terrible user experience and stupid? Yes.
