Reply to comment by Hattix in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack
It's a country run by a corporation.

When I got scratched by a stray cat (one of the least likely to infect humans) I still didn't take any chances.
When I went to the hospital to get innoculated I saw a video on screen about rabies and was glad to eliminate all probability.

Reply to comment by Blutarg in TIL about Deaf lifeguard Leroy Colombo, who overcame childhood paralysis through swimming and saved a record-breaking 900+ lives during his career. His swimming talent and use of sight rather than sound to identify drowning swimmers allowed him to save people other lifeguards would have missed. by lemontreelemur
Saw a replay video outside a swimming pool of occurrences of near drowning.
It's all kids and they just go underwater with hands above their head. Videos like that are educational because it increases your hazard awareness. It's not morbid because all children were raised and fished out promptly before inhaling any/much water.

Reply to comment by deadmeatsandwich in How do we have more woolly mammoth DNA than dodo DNA if woolly mammoths died off thousands of years ago and dodos only died off a few hundred? by Memer9456
Could all damaged DNA be sort of correlated to find the correct DNA sequence? Or did the chemicals break DNA chains to a point beyond recognition?
Ooh found the DNA 🧬 emoticon lol

Reply to comment by herbw in TIL that most non-human primate infants actively use their hands to help themselves out of the birth canal. Human infants do not, but their grip strength is much higher during the hours immediately after they are born. by afeeney
All thanks to agriculture (or if further back, the hunter-gatherer beginnings of man)
I heard also that two legged and furless results in less consumption of nutrition.

Yeah! It's like the lint in a washing machine between their fingers!

My baby loves to kick and play with their toes more than their hands. The hands and arms are just too complicated to operate at 2 months (except for basic grasping)

It's amazing really. When you compare the size of a baby's head to an adult it's incredible how much their brain develops. It makes a lot of sense that the newborn is sort of an instinctual primate from the beginning and then through nutrition and nurture becomes a human being.

Depends. Warn first. "HOT! Touch it. Ouch!" Then if child tries, you give them a good prompt. "HOT! Don't touch! Ouch!"
Now, controversially, some parents will then let the child have free will and find out what it means to put your hand in the flame. Yes, there will be blister burns. But that will be a lesson learned for life.
I once touched a soldiering iron. I learned to be careful of soldiering irons for life. ðŸ¤

Reply to TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss
This is a nice question of impulse and Newton's second law for physics class. Though pretty macabre...

As long as airspeed is high enough. Put a plane on a treadmill in a wind tunnel I'm sure it can take off.
It's probably a gap in education regarding physics making people assume that relative ground speed has anything to do with taking off.
