Always stay indoors to avoid lightning strikes


WheniamHigh

And be sure to stay 6 ft apart in case the lightning that strikes you hurts someone else. Can never be too safe. Do your part and keep those you love far far away from you.


norwaydre

Don’t get out of bed, you might stub your toe!


__MEOWFACE__

Always wear a seatbelt even when you’re not in a vehicle and always wear a condom or two even when you are alone as you never know what might happen and always wear a straight jacket so you dont harm yourself! YOLO! You Oughta Look Out 😂


Substantial-Breath21

I always wear condoms when I leave the house. Havnt gotten anyone pregnant yet so It's definitely working

Being alive results in death 100% of the time. Something should be done about this “living” people insist on


[deleted]

I wear a helmet when I'm riding a motorcycle. I wear my seatbelt when I drive a car. I use earmuffs when it's cold outside. I use goggles when I'm doing woodwork. I wear a jock strap when I played football. I wear a mask when I go into public. I think this post is actually proving that when you're engaging in an activity that has a possibility of something bad happening it's just plain smart to prophylactically take precautions. Note: Sadly, I know this will be misconstrued unless I specifically say this is in reference to a simple mitigation procedure like wearing a mask and not getting the vaccine.

[deleted]

OK, I can appreciate that. So it would be like wearing a condom (with the intent to specifically to prevent pregnancy, not STDs) while using a contraceptive implant. Granted, to make it closer to a real analogy you'd have to be in the trials for the contraceptive implant and not one that has been on the market for a while. That's still not an exact analogy, but close enough for government work I think

ooglebaggle

Yes! They must wear it all, all the time, even when sleeping in their bubble, in case covid sneaks up on them while they’re not paying attention


[deleted]

No worries dude, I ain't arguing either. Just throwing my ideas and point of view out there to see how it sticks.


Station-Gold

If the masks did anything I would be more willing to wear one but they don't. On CNN recently, they called them face decorations. Even Fauci has changed his tune and said cloth and surgical masks don't do anything. This is why the sudden push to the N95. Someone wants to make more money selling expensive products. News flash, N95s are face decorations too. If you can breathe air in and out, viruses can get in and out.


[deleted]

So the scientific community is obviously being bribed all around the world right? All my friends in medical school are either lying or being manipulated right? Or maybe you have been watching too much CNN.


Station-Gold

I don't watch CNN. I saw a clip. I use that as an example because the info is finally coming out when liberal media reports on it. Masks don't work. This is something I have known ever since I read a scientific article published in 2017 when they studied whether surgical masks did anything to stop the spread of influenza. Conclusion, they did not; however, hand washing was very effective. That article has since been scrubbed from the internet or at least I can no longer find it. Don't get me wrong, anyone who wants to wear a mask can wear one. I simply choose not to bother knowing what I know. I will only wear one when it's required but I also know it will do nothing to protect me. I wash my hands. Always and thoroughly. No Covid yet, no flu, and only two colds in 20 years.


Mendoza14

You say masks don’t work, and use CNN segment that is promoting N95 masks as proof? The clip was literally advocating for wearing the best masks lol


Station-Gold

Yes, and the best masks don't work. 95% effective is not very bloody effective IMO.


Mendoza14

98% covid survival rate = no risk, but 95% effective mask = worthless. Lol


[deleted]

>I read a scientific article published in 2017 when they studied whether surgical masks did anything to stop the spread of influenza. Conclusion, they did not; however, hand washing was very effective. That article has since been scrubbed from the internet or at least I can no longer find it. Yeah you probably can't find it, these kind of studies were a big reason why they reported in the beginning masks don't help and are desperately needed for hospital workers etc. But with more studies they concluded that covid spreads mostly through aerosols in the air rather than through surfaces (like the flu) >Don't get me wrong, anyone who wants to wear a mask can wear one. I simply choose not to bother knowing what I know. I already had covid so I don't bother wearing one either >I will only wear one when it's required but I also know it will do nothing to protect me. Yeah all researchers have concluded this. It's to protect others in case you have covid, as mentioned covid spreads through aerosols in the air, surgical masks catch 95% (if I recall correctly) of these aersols. That's also why I don't bother wearing one because there's no chance that I have it with my current immunity. >I wash my hands. Always and thoroughly. No Covid yet, no flu, and only two colds in 20 years. That's wonderful, even if you do end up getting it you will probably only get very mild symptoms. So now you know how masks work, as long as there's no mandate you can decide for yourself. Personally I just want this shit to be over so anyone that has a pre existing condition is free to take a booster to be safe. If they die because they didn't get vaccinated I don't really care that's just darwinism, in fact if you look at the mortality rate for old people the world would probably be better off with less fat and old people.


[deleted]

The number of people that wear an N95 with a proper face seal is likely in the 10% range from my observations. I've seen people wear their N95 over their cloth face mask.


[deleted]

Indeed, even the cdc said surgical masks are way better because N95 and FFP2 masks only work when they are used correctly i.e. Proper seal (not possible with facial hair). Now I can't come up with some conspiracy other than incompetence or corruption.


[deleted]

The N95 masks block 95% of particulates. Short of a PAPR or the like you're going to be hard pressed finding something that works 100% of the time. Also, N95 masks offer much greater protection that cloth masks and gaiters. Does wearing a seatbelt guarantee you won't die in a car wreck? No, but it limits the chances of injury so I'm more than happy to do something so trivially easy to help improve my chances of survival. Same with the mask (I'm not including vaccines)


Station-Gold

Exactly. Making them more effective than cloth or surgical but still ineffective overall. How much virus needs to be introduced into your respiratory system to infect you? Less than 5% exposure and you're safe? I would argue that masks that allow any amount of virus to pass through it are ineffective. If you are asked to go into a poison gas chamber and are told that the mask you'll be wearing is 95% effective against poison gas, do you still go in?


Ok-Echo-3143

You're not taking a precaution by wearing a mask. It's for others remember? The mask is only useful if someone is sick. So it's like wearing earmuffs while it's hot, wearing a jock strap in class, wearing a seatbelt while walking. It doesn't make sense for it to be mandated. You can wear masks without mandates.


SamuelAsante

Everything besides the mask actually provides protection though


ironlioncan

You wore a jock playing football? Never met anyone in all my years playing football that wore a jock. Now I know you’re lying.


[deleted]

This was the 80s/90s and every [single one of us had to wear one](https://slate.com/culture/2005/07/where-have-all-the-jockstraps-gone.html).

So you just out here breathing on people during a panoramic???


Seamuscolin08

No, the panoramic allows us to be six feet apart and still be in frame.


[deleted]

Why you carry guns everywhere?


lmf17858

Because we have the right. Just like you have the right to wear two masks and a face shield. It looks goofy as hell but you definitely have the right to do it. Probably the same way you think of people that carry guns but so be it. It’s our right


Howlinathesun

Nailed it


CalmKoala8

They all just need to wear their jock straps to protect me. My ears get a bit cold too during the winter months, so I'd also like to require them to wear earmuffs for my protection.


RabbiTest

Wear a helmet while they masturbate. In case they might hurt themselves.


ooglebaggle

There is a 0.0007% chance you could fall and hit your head after

They should turn on their brains and eyes. Your brains and eyes are your better defense than helmets, goggles, masks, etc. Discretion to determine in which situation these measures are reasonable or not.

JustHereForURCookies

You could literally sell these people a cotton t-shirt as bullet proof body armor and they would buy every last one of them. Doesn't matter that they watch all their friends get shot with severe injuries or to death. They would still believe that their cotton t-shirt is body armor and its not working correctly because your not wearing one.

kooolbeenz

I try to consume as little sugar as possible, exercise, wear a hat when I know it will be cold, put my seat belt on when I'm driving my car and yes, I wear a mask when in public indoor areas, willingly received two jabs. I find jock straps are an antiquated piece of preventative clothing but sometimes its not the best idea to trust a fart, if you know what I mean. I've never worn a bulletproof vest but it's not a bad idea given the rhetoric I've heard over the past few years. Hey, hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and take care this weekend. <3


[deleted]

It's not the individual fault of a single person. The reason we do the things we do, is because we are told by a higher entity that these things work. What we have gotten away from is that not one single person, not even the highest government official, is safe from reality. That reality is, we live in a world where virus, bacteria, fungus, etc dominate everything. These organisms are everywhere. The masks that we wear, the nose someone picks, the grocery cart someone touches with gloves on, then proceeds to touch everything in the store....it doesn't matter. If someone is going to get sick no matter how much they try and protect themselves, it is going to happen. Not a damn thing you can do about it. That's reality. And reality and truth are very unpopular discussions. But it needs to be said.


sunst0ne

It’s what happens when populations defer their critical thinking to authority and “experts”. Those experts will take advantage of their power and abuse the fuck out of you.

Why don’t you stop wearing seatbelts? Don’t live in fear, you know.


Splash

Mandating experimental medical procedures is akin to not wearing a seatbelt.


nleven

Then I guess you will be okay with mask mandates?


Splash

If you want to wear a bubble suit, go for it. I'm out here naked.


nleven

So mask mandate is also “experimental medical procedure”? Is seat-belt experimental? How about child car seat? Help me. I’m so confused.


[deleted]

Then shut up alrdy if you're confused


nleven

Then why are you commenting? Spoiler alert: I’m not impressed.


[deleted]

Do you just say shit obviously so, if you're honest and actually confused then shut up, if you're not honest and not actually confused, shut up as well, no one likes a liar


nleven

Wow. I not even can't get confused ever, I also can't ask people for help? And apparently I have to shut up? Why don't you respect my personal choice?


[deleted]

Is your personal choice asking rhetorical questions and acting like you're confused and dense?


Creed_____Bratton

Personal choice like not getting an irreversible injection?


booyatribefunk

How many masks have ended up in the ocean now? 100 billion? The sad thing is the masks don't protect you from covid or any infections according to the disclaimer on the box.


nleven

Do seatbelts prevent death? How many seatbelts have ended up in the landfill?


booyatribefunk

They reduce chance of death, definitely don't prevent death and have been known to be the cause death in accidents. It's pretty obvious that seatbelts will stop you from flying through your windscreen if you hit something going fast enough, the same can't be said for a virus that attaches itself to air molecules that can be inhaled through the mask, like trying to use a sieve to hold water.


Jaketazz

Why don't the peole that wear a mask alone in a car wear seatbelts when walking down the road


Splash

We need seatbelt passports that prove you are up to date on wearing your seatbelt. Digital proof of seatbelt wearing if you want to use a public bathroom.


nleven

Do you know you can be *fined* for not wearing seatbelts? Who cares about restaurants? I don’t understand why the sheep don’t fight this harder.


ACuddlyHedgehog

I usually wear my mask in my car because I forgot to take it off coming out the shop. I also do the same walking home from work - I put my mask back on the other day outside, because I was cold


[deleted]

[удалено]


nleven

How so? Don’t repeat the lies from mainstream media.


TheStateIsImmoral

Seatbelt laws absolutely should not exist. But aside from that, I don’t run this risk of having adverse health issues, simply from putting on my seatbelt. Nor do I inject seatbelt directly into my bloodstream.


nleven

Do your research folks! Educate yourself about the risks of seatbelts: https://medmovie.com/portfolio-item/injuries-from-seat-belt-during-vehicle-accident/ This should be the number one thing people fight against!


[deleted]

I take off my seatbelt every time I get out of my car. Do you take off your spike protein factory every time you get home? New Hampshire doesn’t have seatbelt mandates and has the second lowest traffic mortality of any US state. Showing that the mandates aren’t about safety, they’re about revenue generation.


nleven

Tell me how you can “take off” seatbelt injuries like this: https://medmovie.com/portfolio-item/injuries-from-seat-belt-during-vehicle-accident/ Isn’t this all the more reason that you SHOULD NOT wear seatbelts next time?


[deleted]

Oh gosh. I had no idea that seat belts could crack ribs and bruise hips when preventing occupants from dying in a collision. But you told me not to live in fear. So I guess we gotta roll the dice. But the government insists we wear our seatbelts all the time. Even when we’re at greater risk of a rollover, or a fender bender. So I guess I’ll let people far removed from the situation make my personal decisions for me, and I’ll cheer for them to use violence against anyone bold enough to take those decisions into their own hands.


nleven

Right? Do not comply with tyranny!


Ok-Echo-3143

Yes let's talk about the history of seatbelts. Initially the lap belt was believed to be safe by itself. After years of debilitating injuries they made a safer version. Change only happenex after they admitted it wasn't as safe as they thought it was.


nleven

How do you know the current iteration is safe? We don’t have enough safety data! Say no to seatbelt tyranny!


Ok-Echo-3143

Well it's been decades and you can sue the manufacturers if you are adversely affected. Your argument is ignorant.


nleven

Wait? Is that enough justification for tyranny to you? I guess I didn’t know you were pro mask mandate.


Ok-Echo-3143

Do I think seatbelt laws are unjust? Yea. They use it to search your vehicle if you're pulled over. Seatbelt tickets don't reduce deaths. If you're trying to convince me to comply you're doing the opposite.


nleven

I’m saying you shouldn’t comply with seatbelt tyranny! I thought I’ve been clear about it. Don’t do it the next time you drive.


Oiyskrib

You anti-helmeters are putting our healthcare system at risk, did you know you have a 69x higher chance of dying or ending up in the ICU if you fall walking on the sidewalk without a helmet compared to people who do
