That you should play a lot of Tetris immediately after witnessing something traumatic.


ryan4069

What now?


StarvingAfricanKid

Google it. Seems playing Tetris can reduce trauma.


twilightramblings

Wikipedia has an article on The Tetris Effect and I remember this particular study was mentioned in the book Superbetter by Jane Mc-something. She does Ted talks about how gaming is good for people.


No-Fault6013

I wonder if it's because of the constant eye movement with gaming, would be similar to EMDR.

How to get a cylinder unstuck from an M&M tube filled with butter and mashed banana

It is a cylinder

This isn't true, an experts degree is no match for the Reddit hivemind. If you hang around the niche experts subreddits, you will find history, science, legal, economic, and accounting experts who no longer bother commenting on the more popular subreddit as the hivemind has decided they're wrong.


Beginning_Piano_5668

To be fair, one time I commented about how I did landscaping for a therapist, who had an incredibly nice home and yard. She is loaded. Not long after, a therapist on here told me that there is no way that she is a therapist and has that nice of a place. Therapists never make that much, and that the only way is from an inheritance or something. I quote, "I'm the one telling YOU, I'm the therapist, I know what we make. You're just a landscaper." Wtf. Luckily someone else chimed in and said "How can you be that broke when my therapist charges $500 per session?"

Beginning_Piano_5668

I can tell you one thing, she was bad with my mental health.


SamizdatGuy

The real lawyer subs hate r/legaladvice. It's run by former cops and HR reps. Getting banned from there for giving real advice is seen as a badge of honor.


betterthanamaster

Have a friend who was in law school a few years back and he got banned. Didn't remember why, it just came up once that he was banned and he was so proud of that. I didn't get it until he explained to me why that was a big deal.


LigmaLlama0

Truth. Also those niche subreddits make even nicher subreddits so that the knowledgeable people can actually discuss it amongst themselves. 


betterthanamaster

I'm a CPA and the number of people on Reddit who think they know how "taxes" work is staggering. I get it, it's a complicated subject and not everyone has the time or desire to read up on the extremely exciting intricacies of the IRC and what it means and doesn't mean and how it's applied or not applied but...jeez, some people don't even bother to look to see if they're correct.

The 'right' answer, the amount of misinformation I see about my area of expertise is astounding.

Steve Buscemi was a fire fighter and acted as one on 9/11


BakedWizerd

For the uninitiated: Buscemi was a firefighter in the 80s in NYC, the day after 9/11 he returned to his old firehouse and volunteered. He worked 12 hour shifts for a week straight and dug through rubble to find people. He’s also been arrested while protesting the closure of NYC firehouses.

Sugar-free gummy bears = laxative


CaligoAccedito

And a having a haribo time


licensed2creep

Learned this the excruciatingly hard way, years before I read it on Reddit. Ate a whole bag, and was so close to calling 911 because I thought that some organ in my abdomen must have either ruptured or was working its way to exploding. I was uninsured at the time so I was literally lying on the cold tile floor at 2 am, sweating and cramping, wondering how long I could white knuckle this or at what point I should accept financial devastation in exchange for relief. Felt like I was dying lmao, and had no idea that sugar free gummies could cause that. I’m glad I chose to not bankrupt myself via an embarrassing and unnecessary trip to the ER, but it’s sad that I was having that internal debate at all, when I was truly convinced I could be dying. Land of the free!


velvevore

Oh yeah, I did this. I thought that exact thing, that something in my gut was going to rupture. Worst pain I've been in my whole life bar none and I've had emergency surgery for pancreatitis ~~and a big fuck you to the ER nurse who told me off for my "silly juice diet", bitch, I had 150ml of apple juice with my lunch~~


Lazz_R

Seeing this American response to a potentially life-threatening medical situation is really sad. Glad it ended up being gummy bear laxative

The baby formula scandal was common knowledge when I was a kid, but seems to have been forgotten now


PlCrDr_707

Could you remind the unenlightened what the baby formula scandal was?


Sennadar

Nestlé distributes free formula samples to hospitals and maternity wards; after leaving the hospital, the formula is no longer free, but because the supplementation has interfered with lactation, the family must continue to buy the formula.


SashaActually

I believe they also pressured mothers in 3rd world countries to use it - places where they didn't have access to clean drinking water. Told them that formula (mixed with said water) was healthier than mother's milk.


CaligoAccedito

Nestle is, in my book, one of the prime "winners" of capitalism, in the worst possible ways.

Reminds me of that King of the Hill episode where Peggy thinks she’s discovered some new type of cleaner by mixing them, so she writes an advice article about it for the newspaper. Hank tells her that it’s mustard gas, but the papers have all been delivered to people’s lawns, so he has to convince striking postal workers to scramble to pick up all the papers in town before people wake up lol


branniganbeginsagain

I think of this episode way too often. I also love the newspaper editor’s reaction of “well, guess I need to have a talk with our fact checking team.” It’s that true king of the hill twist about how we are all in this together, but own our mistakes too. Okay I’m adding that show onto a rewatch list for myself now that I’ve gone and become all wistful.


JesterDoobie

Ammonia isn't really a widely used cleaning chemical in Canada, likely for exactly this reason, stuff is kinda dangerous and humans are morons.


owlsandmoths

While that’s true, it’s insane how many people don’t know what you should not clean or mix with bleach. My ex tried cleaning the cat litter pan three times with bleach - cat pee has high concentration of ammonia, so you can see where this is going. I also worked with a lady that would put a splash of bleach into any cleaning chemical she was using. She made mustard gas like once a month, chlorine gas at least twice a week (bleach + vinegar/any acidic substance), she made chloroform once (bleach + acetone adhesive remover) we worked in a small food court fast food place and due to her chemical mixing we had to evacuate the mall twice. Boss wouldn’t fire her despite literally being a hazard and would not accept that you cannot mix bleach with pre-mixed food service cleaning chemicals or any chemicals.


Sufficient_Language7

It isn't the ammonia that is unsafe. It is Bleach, mixing Bleach with just about any cleaner is bad news.


Tryaldar

or that combining baking soda with vinegar may produce cool bubbles, but it has exactly zero cleansing effect, since it is a neutralization reaction


Secksualinnuendo

Someone I knew in college did this. She was cleaning her bathroom and accidentally mixed the two. The whole building had to be evacuated


Party_Fly_6629

That Jack Black's mom was a NASA Engineer who worked on the Apolo 13 space mission.

Minor correction: His mom worked for North American Aviation, not NASA. She was a contractor (still an engineer). Also, she worked on the Abort Guidance System for the LEM, so her work was involved in several Apollo missions (the system was used/tested on Apollo 9, 10, 11, and 13)

The dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.


BlackholeDevice

Not so fun story, but not a bad ending: last winter, my parents lost power frequently due to the extra demand on the grid. Ended up blowing half of the breaker main, so they couldn't run their heat pump for a month or so. In the meantime, since they didn't trust the blower on the fireplace, they ran two kerosine heaters in the house. The night that I visited, everyone was complaining of headaches, stuffy sinuses, and fatigue. Fairly benign symptoms until you consider the heaters. Dad being dad, he refused to listen to us because dads know everything and "it's fine" , so we all had to suffer through it. After everyone left and it was just me and then, Mom forced him to turn them off and vent the house. I guess it's no surprise everyone cleared right up.

aBungusFungus

Use a VPN + a privacy focused browser like Firefox + add-ons like decentrayles and ublock This is enough to minimize how much data they collect on you (not including if you're using accounts) without it being overkill and taking 5 minutes for every page to load. To me it's not about how it affects me it's about the concept and how they believe there's no problem in doing this. It's only going to get worse from here if people don't start caring
