PainterofCrap posted:This exact thing nearly happened to me at my wedding reception. Took a big healty inhale of helium to sing The Lollipop Guild, and, while singing, literally saw the curtains closing in my field of vision. I was able to sit down & collect myself without completely passing out. this happened to me when i was singing in a chorus concert in middle school. i was standing on the top rear riser, nothing behind me but a seven or eight foot drop. no helium. i must have just locked my knees for too long. at first i thought the lights were being dimmed, but then my hearing was effected too. in a few seconds it was pitch darkness with my eyes wide open, so climbing down was not a safe approach. i kept my knees bent, breathed deeply, and mouthed along to the songs. it passed. pretty scary! would not recommend!

You can also pass out from thinking too hardly about if you are locking your knees or not because you know locking your knees makes you pass out and you don't want to do that (a sort of vasovagal syncope). Good job body, great design where you can mind gently caress yourself into falling.

Iron Crowned posted:My mom once went off on a tangent about how helium was a drug and we shouldn't do it, because we could die. Little did she realize the real drug is nitrogen; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1130736/ quote:We evaluated the effect of nitrogen in air at one atmosphere on human performance by comparing it with helium-oxygen using a four-alternative divided-attention task that requires rapid response to auditory and visual signal changes. There was a 9.3 per cent decrease in response time when subjects breathed helium-oxygen, a signigicant change (P less than 0.001). This change could not be ascribed to practice since the order of presentation of gases did not have a significant effect. It concluded that the nitrogen in ambient air slightly but measurable impairs human performance compared with a non-anesthetic gas such as helium.

That's the old thread favorite, all gases are anaesthetic gases. We expect this includes oxygen but noone has come up with a safe test protocol to find out.

In scandinavia we have this event in mid december.  It's most commonly done by kids in school where they walk in a procession, line up infront of the audience and sing songs for a few minutes. It is not uncommon for one of the kids to faint due to aforementioned reasons. From experience I can say that nosebleed look very intense on those robes!

I don't understand why there needs to be two people up there. I assume one of them is the forklift driver. I say driver, because they're sure as hell not an Operator. suuma posted:I guess they didn't want to bomb big logs into the yard but they climbed this tree to limb it, why not cut it down in sections instead of dropping it on the house How are you going to have a sick video for the 'gram if you do it the boring way?

Torching cornfields after harvest for me. We didn't give a gently caress about silage, apparently. I mean, after all the neighbors' crops were out, too. I remember it usually being done in December. Riding on the tailgate of a 4x4 pickup with a grill propane tank and the flamethrower, lazily driving around the field. Fast way to clear the ditches and fence lines too, just keep an eye on the way out of the field. Seen a few field fires during harvest. Equipment fucks up somewhere and next thing you know the whole section is going up in smoke. Drought years, you'd see neighbors hauling rear end over with whatever they could to help save whatever crop was salvageable. If that meant plowing a bunch into the ground to make a fire break, insurance would just have to write a bigger check, as they'd already be writing one for a harvester or tractor or whatever else.

Zudgemud posted:In scandinavia we have this event in mid december. It's in remembrance of a gal whom the pagans tried to burn alive but was protected from burns by da Holy Ghost. (Another legend says a dude fell in love with her eyes so she ripped the eye balls off and sent them to him. Medieval legends are gross.) Until some decades ago, they used real candles in the annual ritual. That's one quick way to make kids lose faith in God.
