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.
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.
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.
Do you have a tl;dr of the debunking? I remember hearing it was like electromagnetic something messing with the nav systems but that one sounds like a myth now that I think about it
Sure, a relative of mine was an ex-sailor and he pulled up maps of how many ships on average passed in a given area per year and then he divided it by the number of reported incidents. Demonstrating that the Bermuda Triangle had slightly less things go wrong compared to the ocean as a whole. Which he speculated was because everyone knows that hurricanes are a thing and the presence of the US coast guard.
It didn't even take him that long. I got into a thing with him about it and about an hour on the computer later he had the numbers to back it up.
Why did the Bermuda triangle, quicksand, and maybe premature burial and stop drop & roll so capture our minds?
Replace the quarter to call home with swallowing gum or something.
To be fair stop drop and roll is still good advice. You just don't find yourself on fire that often.
He forgot to mention all the people just giving you drugs to get you addicted
Fuckin’ D.A.R.E.
