Publish Not your original work? Add source Everyday life isn't just about sunshine, rainbows, and cat memes. It's also not the harsh, joyless reality that we often see on the evening news. Life's… complicated. That means that you have to be ready to dodge or take the punches that it's guaranteed to throw your way. Part of that is knowing about the things that could save your life. Forewarned is forearmed, after all. The internet is a great resource for learning new things (as long as you take all advice with a large grain of salt and double-check everything), and the people of Reddit have been sharing some insightful tips and tricks over on r/AskReddit that might end up saving your life. Bored Panda has compiled this list of handy advice for you to look through, so go ahead and have a read. From health tips to help about what to do if someone attacks you, you'll find everything (and more!) below. Remember to upvote the bits of advice that you believe are the most important. Meanwhile, let's go expand our minds and learn something new, dear Pandas. It might make the difference between staying safe and getting hurt. Also, be sure to scroll down for Bored Panda's chat with fitness expert Jack Bly. This post may include affiliate links. #1 If a service dog comes up to you without its human, FOLLOW IT.

View more comments I reached out to Jack to get his opinion about how important fitness is when it comes to surviving unexpected emergencies. Especially in modern times, as compared to way back in the past. "Realistically, having a good level of fitness isn't as important as it was hundreds of years ago," Jack told Bored Panda. He noted that "massive technological advances" have improved our chances of survival, meaning that we're capable of a lot more than our ancestors. However, this doesn't change the need to get fit. There are plenty of upsides to doing this. "Having a high level of fitness grants you the best life possible," he said. #4 When in an emergency situation, tell someone to call 911 by pointing at them and saying "Hey you, in the [descriptive] shirt...call 911].
Shock is a real thing and some people need to be delegated roles explicitly.

1) Turn off the gas/electric range. Don't pour water on it.
2) Cover the pot with a lid. Don't pour water on it.
3) If you don't have a lid, dump baking soda on it. Don't pour water on it.
If you pour water on it your house might burn down and your face might melt. doughnutholio , flickr Report Final score: 324points POST Steve Barnett Steve Barnett Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) I’ve commented on similar posts before on this subject. I cannot stress enough how important this. I will add two things. NEVER, EVER, put more than a third of oil into a saucepan that you intend to deep fry food in. Also, if you don’t have a suitable fire extinguisher to hand then at least make sure you have a damp towel, NOT TOTALLY WET, IT HAS TO BE JUST DAMP, nearby that you can place over the top of the pan. You then leave the towel on for hours. DO NOT REMOVE FOR AGES. I’ve been involved in such a fire and the house would’ve burnt down but for the quick thinking of my GF at the time.

The bees will simply wait above the water to sting you, and now you have created a situation where you move slower, can't breathe as well, and suffer worse if the toxins affect you. You may even swallow a bunch of bees gasping for air. Also, water has unseen predators that you've now introduced to the equation. If pursued by bees, just keep running and running. They will defend their hive to a large proximity, perhaps even a mile. Just run until they feel they've won. jusjerm , flickr Report Final score: 306points POST Devil's Advocate Devil's Advocate Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Then they all stick their tiny bee fingers up at you and moon your failure.

There is never any guarantee that you won't get hurt. No matter how prepared you are, something will always (eventually) go wrong (given enough time). In short, you can't be ready for everything, but you can be ready to overcome at least some of the challenges that will undoubtedly come flying your way. Trying to think of all the possible ways in which you could get hurt can lead to analysis paralysis and you won't get much done in life this way. Keeping physically and mentally fit can make you better suited to tackling those challenges. Having a few survival skills and the willingness to reach out for professional help when you're unsure about your health are things that also don't hurt your chances of living a long and happy life. However, just because the internet is a wonderful place full of animal memes doesn't make it 100% accurate. Unfortunately, the net is full of misinformation and fake news that can be a tad tough to separate from the kernels of truth in between. #10 Never hesitate to call police to report a missing person the "24 hour rule" is a myth. ironwolf6464 Report Final score: 305points POST Shine Caramia Shine Caramia Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Especially if they missing person is a minor. 101 101points reply View More Replies...

I'm clearly missing something here. 98 98points reply View More Replies... View more comments Lee McIntyre, from Boston University, explained to me how we should approach fact-checking. He told Bored Panda earlier that we should prioritize finding accurate sources of information and reliable news websites. Though all sources make mistakes from time to time, reliable ones make fewer and they're less likely to be biased. "It would be exhausting to fact check every single news item we hear. In fact, insisting on this degree of skepticism is something that demagogues use to get us to be cynical, because when we doubt that it is possible to know the truth-even when it is staring us in the face-we are riper to their manipulation. So I'd say the best thing with news is to do a little investigation into finding a reliable source," Lee said. #13 If you're outside in a lightning storm and your hair starts floating, seek immediate shelter. You're about to be struck by lightning. Deodorized , imgur Report Final score: 254points POST Jill Hojnacki Jill Hojnacki Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago If your hair is floating it’s too late to start running for shelter. Drop whatever you’re holding, especially if metal. Crouch down on the balls of your feet. Brace the heels of your feet against one another so that if you get struck the lightning might pass through your feet & back to ground instead of through your body. Put your hands over your ears to protect them from the thunderclap that’s coming, close your eyes to protect them from the lightning flash, and open/breathe through your mouth to help keep the air pressure equalized.Pray, if you believe it will help. 400 400points reply View More Replies...

View more comments "Look for an organization that does investigative journalism (and doesn't just repeat information from other sources), double sources its quotations, discloses conflicts of interest, etc. Once we've found that we can relax a bit and trust the reporting behind the stories. Do we still need to be on guard? Yes. Even The New York Times can make mistakes. Or individual reporters can have biases. But that doesn't mean 'all sources are equal.'" Lee explained that media literacy is vital. It's also something that kids are taught from a very early age in some parts of the world.

View more comments "There are various sources for media literacy that can help. They teach this to KIDS in Finland! It's easy to learn. Is the story copyrighted? Is it dated? Is there a byline? Are other stories by the author solid? Is it published in a source that has been reliable in the past? Does it seem plausible- if not then you can do some research," the expert said. "Will we get fooled sometimes in doing this? Yes. But we're going to get fooled sometimes anyway. It's analogous to how scientists form their beliefs. They are skeptics, but they also-at some point when the evidence is sufficient-give their assent. Scientists deal with warrant, not 'proof.' They are what philosophers call 'fallibilists.' You give your belief to things that are well-sourced with evidence, while always holding out the possibility that if further evidence comes to light that contradicts your belief, you should give it up because you might be wrong." #19 Assume other drivers are out to kill you... healthy paranoia when paying attention to other drivers is a great basis for successful defensive driving baliniri , unsplash Report Final score: 222points POST Devil's Advocate Devil's Advocate Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Don't assume that because almost nobody is out to kill anyone, just assume they're all idiots.

View more comments I reached out to Jack to get his opinion about how important fitness is when it comes to surviving unexpected emergencies. Especially in modern times, as compared to way back in the past. "Realistically, having a good level of fitness isn't as important as it was hundreds of years ago," Jack told Bored Panda. He noted that "massive technological advances" have improved our chances of survival, meaning that we're capable of a lot more than our ancestors. However, this doesn't change the need to get fit. There are plenty of upsides to doing this. "Having a high level of fitness grants you the best life possible," he said. #4 When in an emergency situation, tell someone to call 911 by pointing at them and saying "Hey you, in the [descriptive] shirt...call 911].

1) Turn off the gas/electric range. Don't pour water on it.
2) Cover the pot with a lid. Don't pour water on it.
3) If you don't have a lid, dump baking soda on it. Don't pour water on it.
If you pour water on it your house might burn down and your face might melt. doughnutholio , flickr Report Final score: 324points POST Steve Barnett Steve Barnett Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) I’ve commented on similar posts before on this subject. I cannot stress enough how important this. I will add two things. NEVER, EVER, put more than a third of oil into a saucepan that you intend to deep fry food in. Also, if you don’t have a suitable fire extinguisher to hand then at least make sure you have a damp towel, NOT TOTALLY WET, IT HAS TO BE JUST DAMP, nearby that you can place over the top of the pan. You then leave the towel on for hours. DO NOT REMOVE FOR AGES. I’ve been involved in such a fire and the house would’ve burnt down but for the quick thinking of my GF at the time.

You may even swallow a bunch of bees gasping for air. Also, water has unseen predators that you've now introduced to the equation. If pursued by bees, just keep running and running.

There is never any guarantee that you won't get hurt. No matter how prepared you are, something will always (eventually) go wrong (given enough time). In short, you can't be ready for everything, but you can be ready to overcome at least some of the challenges that will undoubtedly come flying your way. Trying to think of all the possible ways in which you could get hurt can lead to analysis paralysis and you won't get much done in life this way. Keeping physically and mentally fit can make you better suited to tackling those challenges. Having a few survival skills and the willingness to reach out for professional help when you're unsure about your health are things that also don't hurt your chances of living a long and happy life. However, just because the internet is a wonderful place full of animal memes doesn't make it 100% accurate. Unfortunately, the net is full of misinformation and fake news that can be a tad tough to separate from the kernels of truth in between. #10 Never hesitate to call police to report a missing person the "24 hour rule" is a myth. ironwolf6464 Report Final score: 305points POST Shine Caramia Shine Caramia Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Especially if they missing person is a minor. 101 101points reply View More Replies...

He told Bored Panda earlier that we should prioritize finding accurate sources of information and reliable news websites. Though all sources make mistakes from time to time, reliable ones make fewer and they're less likely to be biased. "It would be exhausting to fact check every single news item we hear. In fact, insisting on this degree of skepticism is something that demagogues use to get us to be cynical, because when we doubt that it is possible to know the truth-even when it is staring us in the face-we are riper to their manipulation. So I'd say the best thing with news is to do a little investigation into finding a reliable source," Lee said. #13 If you're outside in a lightning storm and your hair starts floating, seek immediate shelter.

Deodorized , imgur Report Final score: 254points POST Jill Hojnacki Jill Hojnacki Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago If your hair is floating it’s too late to start running for shelter. Drop whatever you’re holding, especially if metal. Crouch down on the balls of your feet. Brace the heels of your feet against one another so that if you get struck the lightning might pass through your feet & back to ground instead of through your body. Put your hands over your ears to protect them from the thunderclap that’s coming, close your eyes to protect them from the lightning flash, and open/breathe through your mouth to help keep the air pressure equalized.Pray, if you believe it will help. 400 400points reply View More Replies...

Are other stories by the author solid? Is it published in a source that has been reliable in the past? Does it seem plausible- if not then you can do some research," the expert said. "Will we get fooled sometimes in doing this? Yes. But we're going to get fooled sometimes anyway. It's analogous to how scientists form their beliefs. They are skeptics, but they also-at some point when the evidence is sufficient-give their assent. Scientists deal with warrant, not 'proof.' They are what philosophers call 'fallibilists.'

Assume everyone is an idiot, assume they're distracted, assume they never maintain their car and that they didn't tighten their wheel nuts properly. 151 151points reply View More Replies...

We all like to play "What's the one thing you'd grab if your house was on fire?" but the real right answer is that if it's not alive, you should leave it and get the hell out.

If you yell at an attacker with a knife, there is a small chance that could startle them and they drop it. At the least, you are attracting attention, and can get out of the situation.
Always whisper at someone with a gun, or at least, speak slowly and calmly. If you yell, that could startle them, and you could get shot.
Most weapons are used as intimidation, so if it's your wallet they are after, talk calmly, give them your wallet, and back away slowly.

The best action is to locate the source of the water where it is likely to be purest. Always smell the water first, trust your nose. If you have a container, fill it and shake it, the longer it takes for the little foam and bubbles to dissipate the more 'dirty' the water is, if it looks cloudy it's probably best to avoid. 43 43points reply View More Replies...
