Felix_Cat posted:I particularly liked when they located his car that had supposedly been badly rear-ended and it turned out to only have damage to the front-end. In fairness he did claim he got pushed into someone, but yeah... When caught in a lie, don't try to make the lie more complicated, either stick with it, or come clean. Don't change your story every 10 seconds. Also, how the hell do you go to trial that hammered? It would be one thing if he was an alcoholic that could function at .08 but he was clearly rocked off his rear end at the start of the trial. It was only fear that sobered him up enough to stop slurring.

Choco1980 posted:Every time I see that gif I'm more sure the guy just died Honestly, the vast majority of reasonably-healthy people will survive a 10-12 yard fall like that, unless they land on their heads or in other ways which damage the brain/spinal column, as long as they receive relatively timely medical attention; the reason he broke poo poo in his feet and/or legs is because they absorbed most of the impact. You really need those things for walking, and it's not like serious leg injuries including fractures can't be life-threatening, it's just that your central nervous system isn't in your shins.

This isn't one of them but every time I see close calls with death I'm reminded of the stupid poo poo I did as a kid that brought me thaaaat close to death. Like sticking my head out of a train car window maybe 20 seconds away from some metal signs that would have sheared my head clean off. Or that one time I jumped off a bridge. It wasn't a very high bridge. Then I huddle in the fetal position in the shower for half an hour.

Climbed a downed tree by the beach when I was 10. The tree had fallen out of the forest over a small stream. Tree was maybe 50' standing up so it seemed like a safe and fun thing to scale. After getting up there I noticed the stream was real shallow and if I fell serious injuries would come my way. Felt like my dumb cat that climbed the redwood in our backyard and managed to paralyze himself on the roots.

A friend of my mom had a kid die from attempting to moon someone while in a car (this was years ago, not like last week). He apparently stuck his rear end out the window too far and the car got too close to the bridge and the metal pipe or bridge support or something just sort of snatched him out the window. I'm about 90% certain everyone in the car was drunk (attempted mooner, driver, friend in passenger seat), cause they had to turn around later and figure out where the gently caress the guy went. Moral of the story (besides the hilarity of death by bridge to rear end) is that doing stupid poo poo can get you killed, so it's a minor miracle you are alive right now considering all the dumb poo poo you did as a kid. Also, I'm not 100% sure this guy was a kid, or just a dumbfuck adult, but either way, he dead. Stupid_Sexy_Flander has a new favorite as of 07:05 on Nov 24, 2015 |

I kinda burned off the soles of my feet at three, stumbled into a wasp nest at four, broke every bone in my hand at five, and farted on the cat at six. Small miracles, I guess.

Just walking along the street on a nice sunny day then BAM! out of nowhere your brains goes, "Hey remember that time you did something horribly stupid and embarrassing? How about you relive exactly how bad you felt?"

From Stupid Life Hacks: I so want this to be real, and I'd so like this to turn into an actual case and see the cocky, irresponsible idiot lose to the just plain stupid idiot.

Isn't the whole point trying to trick idiots into doing it, like the iPhone microwave thing? It's just malicious.

Pretty much. This writeup by a Canadian judge is a good overview; most of the people who end up trying to use sovcit/freeman-on-the-land arguments in court are people who are already in deep (usually debt-related) poo poo but met a guy (or read a website or whatever) who can teach them how to escape...for a price. And the price is much lower than the amount they're in debt for, so they pay it. The actual scam artists writing this poo poo almost never show up in court, or if they do, they don't use the stuff they're selling -- they know it's bullshit.

Me and my neighborhood friends did all sorts of dumb poo poo on my neighbors netless trampoline, most notably attempting to play tackle football on it which resulted in him having a seizure, but the closest I ever came to death was a high school community trip to help clear out a blighted home. They let us use axes for some reason and I stood too closely behind a guy who was chopping down an overgrown shrub or something. He swung and missed and then stopped himself with the blade of the axe aiming straight at my chest. I doubt he remembers it but I think about that every once in a while.

And the price is much lower than the amount they're in debt for, so they pay it. What's worse is in America at least; other than student loans it's fairly easy to get out of debt. Just read up on the FDCPA, record any interactions, only respond in writing, dispute everything, show up to court, and if all else fails, wait seven years. That will take care of like, 90% of your debt right there. My wife was hosed hard by her ex husband after she moved out but was still technically married to her ex. She ended up cleaning up over 25k of debt that way and ended up paying less than 5k to do so.

The first time I heard abou the sugar-in-the-fuel-tank thing was when I was about 17 and discovered some of the versions of and commentaries on The Anarchist'sCookbook. In one description I read somewhere - probably on a dial-up BBS, this would have been about 1994 - the author went on a long rant about the damage to Mother Earth caused by industrial logging and clearcutting and so forth, and mentioned it as the budding eco-terrorist's entry-level way into violent activism. Given how well-guarded most Big Yellow Machines are on most jobsites (i.e. not at all), you'd think if this was effective we'd have heard about it by now. Somehow I never thought of that and the Snopes article is a good read, thanks. Although this part is weird: quote:Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline, as a researcher at Berkeley confirmed in 1994. Forensics professor John Thornton labeled sucrose with radioactive carbon atoms and mixed it with gasoline, then spun the concoction in a centrifuge. After the undissolved particles were removed, the liquid's radiation level was measured to determine how much sucrose had become part of the gasoline. The answer was extremely little: the equivalent of less than a teaspoonful per 15-gallon tank of gas. Measuring the solubility of substance A in solvent B doesn't need to involve radiolabelled materials.  A simple mass balance would work - weigh the sugar, pour it in, stir and centrifuge, remove the gasoline, weigh the sugar. No radiation-safety training required!

Reasonably you could ascertain that if the sugar doesn't directly break things, it could definitely clog up the fuel pump/filter.
