Damn, that's pretty cool. I myself hunt down zombies in my free time.
Will you be down in South Florida anytime soon? They're kind of becoming a problem here.
Sorry, that region is handled by a different guy. You'll have to ask Pedro. It's just his side gig though, so he might be hard to get a hold of.
Stop hogging all the zombies, save some for the rest of us.

No more frost giants thanks to yours truly TotallyNotSpez!
You've done the world a great service o7
I thought quicksand would be a much bigger problem in my day to day life.
Tbf you wouldn't hear the people who drowned in quicksand complain about it afterwards.
The thing about quicksand that bothers me is that they never explain where you would encounter it. So I just assumed all sand could potentially become quicksand if it was deep enough. I guess I thought beaches weren't deep enough
You need fine sand and lots of water so beaches weren't exactly wrong but it's still somewhat rare. Warning sign on Texel (Netherlands). Swamps are another candidate though there's also other traps there, as well as mudflats... or at least it's a very similar phenomenon the German term is different (Schlickloch vs. Treibsand) but it's essentially the same thing. Don't go walking from island to island without someone who can read the ground, maps would be useless they change every low tide. Also don't leave when the water is already coming back. Also, don't complain to your hotel that the sea is gone it's a feature, not a bug.

Yes. Also being burried alive
To be fair, it wasn't until much later that I learned that the "buried alive" was metaphorical. See: debt, stress, etc.
I mean it was an actual thing too though!
Happened during the Rape of Nanking too, except they did it on purpose to civilians.
Oh for sure, but it's not nearly as much an issue in day to day life as we were led to believe. I suppose I could have been clearer.
Edgar Allan Poe has entered the chat...
Im still worried about this one.

Personally, i assumed that being on fire was something i would have to go through at least once in my life. But as time goes on, i have not had the need to, even once, stop, drop or roll.
Clothes have become a lot less flammable over the years and open fireplaces aren't the primary heating method for most houses anymore.
I've done a lot of separate stopping, dropping, and/or rolling in my time, but never in that particular sequence for purposes of fire extinguishing.

The car in the mall? Well...
Now that makes sense
I remember getting really into it and then afterwards seeing a really good debunking. It still bothers me how people can knowingly lie for small amounts of money or a bit of reputation.

Yeah that was me. Then I heard about the triangle off the coast of Spain or something. So then I started making potential triangles all over the place. I had a globe with a schizo amount of triangles on it.
Illuminati confirmed
I had so many theories about the Bermuda triangle and the Mary Celeste disappearance... Then I got older and more sceptical and found out the Bermuda triangle is nothing special, just highly trafficked and the Mary Celeste mystery was largely fictionalized and nothing remarkable.
Young Jesus fearing me hypothesized that the Garden of Eden was within the Bermuda triangle. It made sense to me... God kicked out the unworthy and disappearing planes and ships were God's wrath for trespassing. .
But now you're telling me the triangle isn't really a thing.... What else from my developing mind isn't real... Lol

Anything involving the supernatural
For one thing, red and blue aren't primary colors of paint. Mix magenta and yellow paint and you have red, mix magenta and cyan and you have blue.
Well I'll glad I'm not the only one, but after I saw the modern traffic going through the Bermuda triangle I was much less concerned.
There were many lost nights of sleep though
Nope. Atlantis.
Nah, it was all about quicksand for me.
That and just catching fire out of nowhere. And although that was mostly down to 80s shellsuits that were super flammable, I'm sure the new waves of cheap imported throwaway shit clothes are just as bad.

Malls must be magic. That would also explain how Santa is at every mall.
There was a short period after I heard the term Third World where I thought there was more than one world in our solar system and this is where Africa was. That was a strange few days.
This is the cutest amd funniest thing I've ever heard
While quite interesting, the Bermuda triangle didn't concern me that much actually.
The movie Volcano (1997) however scared the shit out of young me, and I had problems sleeping for days. That was an issue I'd have liked to be solved.
If you're afraid of volcanoes, there's a few places you can move to, such as Australia: https://worldinmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/volcano-world-map.jpg
So interesting how the overwhelming majority are on the Pacific.
The person you're replying to should move to Yellowstone Park. You don't have to be afraid of the volcano when you're at the centre of it. It's also very beautiful from what I've heard.
Ah yes, the eye of the volcano
I think they meant that if you were on top of yellowstone when it went off then you wouldn't have time to feel afraid. Your body would transition directly from being biology to being physics without even enough time to pass through being chemistry.
I used to live straight in the volcano ring, even with a huge tragedy happening in a town nearby the year before I was born. I could see the snowy top of our local volcano every morning.
But now I live in Sweden. Not only no volcanos or earthquakes but also no hurricanes, tornados, landslides, nothing. It's just flat and chill.
Quick sand I was sure that quick sand would be a daily problem
