Trivial knowledge might save your life one day
1. If you are on the verge of getting raped, hit his testes as hard as you can and see how he will fall, and if they are in the group, don’t perform this daring stunt; instead, tell them you have HIV.
2. The Bystander Effect. If you’re unaware of this consequence, learning about it could save your life. The Bystander Effect refers to the dispersal of blame among onlookers. When someone is standing on the sidelines of a robbery or a fight, they will not intervene because they anticipate others to aid.
When you are in a fight, are being robbed, or do not expect others to help you. They will want to avoid it. Instead, look them in the eye, ask for their help, specifically direct it at them. That removes the feeling of anyone else being able to help as you asked it specifically of them.
3. Removing things from stab wounds causes more blood loss, which increases the likelihood of the victim dying. That object should be left alone. Don’t try to get rid of it.
4. Before getting off the plane, don’t inflate your life jacket. In case of emergency water landings, it is not a good idea to be ready with your inflated life jacket. According to many aviation safety experts, doing so will only worsen you.
As the plane begins to sink, the water inside the cabin will push you to the ceiling. You wouldn’t be able to move without assistance from there. So please put on your life jacket and only inflate it once you’ve exited the plane.
5. Learn how to change your tire and ensure you are equipped with a full-size spare and all your necessary tools.
6. Let Someone Know Where You Will Be – When you live alone or go out for the night, let a friend know where you will be.
This barely takes any effort on your part, and if something does go wrong or you are not back in the morning, somebody will know where to start if they have to look for you.
7. Don’t walk down the stairs with your hands in your pockets. It would help if you had your hands to protect your head or stop your fall.
8. Take it slow. Most of the mistakes happen because we want to be fast. We want to go to other places, are in a rush, and run amok. This is how many accidents happen; someone is in a hurry and doesn’t pay enough attention.
9. If you are lost in the desert or any deserted area, the vital thing you can carry to increase your chances of being found is a small reflective mirror.
Anytime a plane flies overhead, you can reflect light towards them, significantly increasing your chances of being found. This seriously is more important than carrying more water with you.
10. When you realize you are in a rush, remember this: The 5 minutes you might be late could save your life. Is it worth it to keep those 5 minutes? Sometimes it might be, but if it isn’t, take a deep breath and slow down.
11. Getting out of that sinking car. It would help if you opened a door as soon as possible before the water pressure makes it impossible.
If you can’t do that, then break a window. If either fails, stay calm and wait for the water to flow into the car. The pressure will equalize once enough comes in, and the door should open.
12. If you fall into the water, don’t panic. You don’t have to be able to swim; you have to float. Hold your breath and let yourself bob to the surface.
13. ALWAYS. I MEAN ALWAYS, listen to your gut instincts. They are your first distress call signals. They have never, I mean, NEVER failed me.
14. Bears
If it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, lay down if it’s white; goodnight.
