I know way too much about killing people because of this website
I STILL DONâT UNDERSTAND HOW THESE INVISIBLE BALLS ARE SUPPOSED TO KILL YOU???? 250K NOTES DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY KNOW
by swallowing the water without the knowledge of the ballsâ presence, youâre basically destined to choke on them

Also the marbles absorb water, so once they get inside you, theyâll start expanding even more and basically take all the fluid out of your body and youâll very slowly dehydrate to death.
i have these and i put them in my cousinâs water and she spit them out and choked me
Most donât consider the ammunition they intend to carry when first purchasing a firearm for defense or even when taking that first concealed carry class and there are those that have never given a second thought to the ammunition currently loaded into their defense tools. While the majority of my students will inevitably inquire upon my personal selection there is a concise way to determine what caliber and style of ammunition an individual should utilize for self defense with a handgun.
There are two general kinds of pistol ammunition, Target and Defense, commonly called Ball and Hollow Point respectively. While the differences between calibers may be subtle the distinction of Target and Defense are glaring.
Ball ammunition is used for practice, is of low cost, can be found in bulk, and is available from many major manufacturers. The name describes the look of the bullet itself which is rounded and solid with no grooves or concaves.
Hollow Point ammunition is ballistically designed for use in stopping a living, immanent, lethal threat making it far more costly, commonly only available in small quantities, but is also available from many major manufacturers. The name describes the preceding tip of the metal projectile which is hollowed without piercing the underside. Some manufacturers have different materials inside the hollowed point with the intent of providing improved expansion and penetration.
These statements are based in empirical evidence, federal testing standards, LEO/Mil action reports, medical examiner reports, and recorded civilian critical incidents but I fully acknowledge that any size piece of metal moving at or above the speed of sound can injure or kill. The company I contract for has a student that stopped an attacker with a .22lr snub-nosed revolver as she rose from the ground after being body-slammed into the ATM she was using. Her single shot bounced off his clavicle into his chest cavity but before running a few blocks down the street where he was apprehended he stood over her in shock and exclaimed; âI canât believe you f*cking shot me!?â
Long guns, rifles and shotguns, can be excellent for self defense but are not the primary recommended defensive tool for most people. Long guns work best, defensively, from static positions being used at a barricade point and generally are not easily accessible in public environments. The information provided may have relevance to long gun defense ammunition selection but it is not under the context of this post.
Your firearm and ammunition of choice work together as a single unit and therefore should be subjected to a Reliability Test annually. It is recommended to shoot 200 of your favorite target ammunition with zero (0) non-user malfunctions, if successful, then shoot 50 cartridges of your selected defense ammunition with zero (0) non-user malfunctions. After successfully passing the Reliability Test you should not only be confident in your defense tool but also in how well the system as a whole operates together and your personal feelings on both the firearm and ammunition.
As mentioned previously all pistol cartridges are a viable caliber as long as it is one you can
consistently
achieve the fastest combat accurate hits as possible. Defensive ammunition comes in various different shapes and sizes; .380acp, .38spl, 9×19, .40s&w, .45acp, .357sig, .10mm, etc and can all be considered capable of stopping a lethal threat. Autopsy reports can not identify caliber by wound alone, Iâve spoken to ER surgeons and experts in the field of combat trauma myself, until the projectile is removed and weighed the initial description is only âlowâ or âhighâ caliber. Bullets are wounding weapons, wounds bleed, bleeding enough deprives the brain of oxygen, death is a product of shot placement over base bullet kinetic damage however that should not discount utilizing a heavier bullet for the desired caliber. Bullet weight is measured in âgrainsâ, which was developed on the average size of a grain of wheat putting 7000 grains in a pound, and is a major factor of cartridge performance. Target ammunition is typically lighter than dedicated defensive cartridges but there are options listing âlow recoilâ or âladyâs defenseâ that sacrifice bullet weight to or below common target ammunition.
The acceptable calibers are far narrower as several factors impede the Wounding Capacity of a specific caliber such as penetration, cartridge capacity, recoil management, cartridge availability, and cost. The .380acp costs more per cartridge than the larger 9×19, has issues penetrating heavy clothing, and being used in typically small and light firearms has a high perceived recoil making it less acceptable than the, 9×19, .38spl, .40s&w, or .45acp.
There are different ways to attach the metal jacket, commonly of a harder metal, to the lead core of the bullet. Bonding is a method that can use soldering, electrochemical, or other proprietary processes which joins the jacket and core at a molecular level. Having the jacket bonded to the core reduces separation of the jacket from the core on impact, provides improved predictability of penetration, and conduction of kinetic energy into the target.
Based on the highest Wounding Capacity, for current and potential concealed carry licensees, the 9×19, 9mm Luger, 9mm, 9x19mm Parabellum, 9mm NATO, 9 mil, 9mm Para, 9mm P, or by any other name is the preferred caliber for self defense with a semi-automatic handgun. The 9x19mm Parabellum originally designed in 1902 by Georg Luger is the most popular and widely used handgun cartridge in the world today by militaries and civilians. Individual cost per cartridge is low allowing more practice for less money and availability is high with itâs lasting popularity worldwide. The relative cartridge size grants a significant jump in carrying capacity over the larger calibers while maintaining reliable penetration and kinetic energy. The felt recoil of a 9mm being subjectively close to that of a .22lr makes combat accurate shots easier and new shooters can get comfortable more quickly.
Avoid gimmicks, reliability is paramount, trust in your own research and knowledge while accepting combat is always evolving but for each success there are innumerable failures leaving good people hurt or worse. Donât put your life or the lives of those you love in the hands of untested or unproven techniques and technologies, regardless of the cool colors and advanced marketing tactics.
Buy from only major manufacturers that have met minimal performance
standards in FBI testing through heavy and light clothing showing
consistent penetration between 12 and 15 inches in ballistic gel.
I personally carry Speer Gold Dot 124 grain Bonded Hollow Point (GDHP) 9×19 because itâs what my local LEOs carry across the board and has the advantage of a high wounding capacity.
If you encounter a wolf in the wild that is acting agressive towards you and is not scared of approaching you, the following is best to do: donât run or turn your back on them. Instead, stand your ground, make yourself as big and tall as possible and make as much noise as you can – scream, turn up loud music on your phone, anything. Throw stuff at them if possible. If they donât go away, back away slowly. This goes for encountering a pack of wolves as well. If they attack and you can, climb into a tree. Otherwise curl up on the ground and cover your face and neck.
In case youâre in an enclosure and a wolf is seemingly agressive: stand with your back to the fence, and move to the exit while keeping your back to the fence. Make sure you donât trip.
The above situation of wild wolves being agressive and unafraid towards humans is an unlikely one. During most wild wolf encounters, the wolf will flee once it becomes aware of your presence, or will curiously observe you from a safe distance for a while without you even being aware of it, to then most likely loose interest and proceed doing whatever it was doing.
Encounters with wild wolves are rare, because wolves are shy animals. Over time, wolves learned to see us as dangerous, and will typically avoid us. If you spot a wolf in the wild, it is most likely not aware of your presence or has decided youâre not a threat. Most of the time they are aware of our presence first, instead of the other way around.
Also itâs happening more and more that wild wolves become habituated due to people feeding wildlife, making them lose their natural shyness towards humans. This is problematic because these wolves are still wild predators whoâs actions and interpretations of our actions canât be predicted. Even a little warning bite from a scared wolf can be disastrous, and if an incident happens or if authorities decide the wolf is getting too close to people or urban areas, the wolf will get punished (which usually means said wolf being shot). Here and here are some tips on how to prevent wolves from becoming habituated.
If youâve ever been in roughly the same place as a sci-fi book or tv show youâll probably have come across the phrase âtheyâre jamming our transmissions!â This trope carries over into modern works as well, often the ones with secret agents and government conspiracies, and with good reason. Communication is vital to anything that requires coordination, which, unless your main character is a one-person-band on the warpath, they are going to need.
You need your villain to stop your hero from calling for help. When thinking about this jamming attack you must think: âhow would my hero call for help, anyway?â That will change how the villain prevents it. Jamming a cell phone is very different from jamming a smoke signal, but for the sake of this ask weâll assume that your villain is planning for cell phones.
Cell phones work by broadcasting and receiving information over certain radio frequencies (in the US two bands are used, ~825-895 MHz and ~1850MHz-1990MHz). A cell phone jammer works by flooding the area within its range with those frequencies, scattering actually useful signals and blocking most if not all information from going in or out on those frequencies. Itâs a localized Denial-of-Service attack that affects cell phones and any other radio communication on the targeted bands. Very handy for your villain.
A note for describing the device: the jammer itself can just be a super high-tech black box with an antenna or twelve, or a hacked together circuitboard built from recycled radios and microwave parts, thatâs really up to you as an author and reference images are easily google-able. Itâs just a small computer whose job it is to make like politicians and yell a whole lot of nonsense at maximum volume. Just like someone shouting obnoxiously, however, one must be in range to actually be affected by it. For the jammer to work well for your villainâs attack, the jammer would need to be deployed as close to the target as possible while still being safe from discovery and unwanted deactivation.
Getting around the jammer:Â This applies to both your villain and your hero, actually. Yes the jammer will interfere with the villainâs cell phone communication as well, the jammer is not a selective device, it just pollutes the airwaves. However, when dealing with the jammer the villain has the advantage of knowing exactly what it does, and could (read: should) have a secondary communication system. Walkie-talkieâs that use different frequencies would work, morse code blared on a motorcycle horn, telepathic shenanigans, or anything that doesnât use the compromised frequency bands.
Like something youâd find on one of those soft/nature blogs?
Well you are in for a surprise
The Bolton Strid in England is one of the most innocent looking streams.Â
Though it looks like you could just hop across the rocks, but if you miss you will die for sure. It packs very rapid currents just a couple of feet below its surface. No one really knows how deep it really is. Nobody who has ever fallen into the Strid has survived. It has a 100% fatality rate.
Itâs always the things I google expecting to be false that wind up being horribly true.
âItâs relatively common for people to assume they can jump the creek, walk across its stones or even wade through it (again, just looking at it, the Strid really seems to be only knee-deep in places, and certainly not the instant, precipitous drop into a watery grave that it is). Most of the time, they never even find the body. Which means there are just dozens of corpses down there, pinned to the walls of the underground chasms, waiting for you to join themâŠâ
how dare you leave out the best quote
âItâs exactly how water works in a video game: It looks all stupid and harmless, but the second your foot touches the surface, you get some bullshit drowning animation and die instantly.â
Actually, Nitroglycerin is stable enough that itâs used for heart medication and Dynamite can be set on fire without blowing up AND there was/is a pancake mix that was used in WW2 code named Aunt Jamime that can explode but if it was confiscated by the enemy could still make pancakes!
TLDR Nasty Burger Sauce could be a thing thatâs safe to eat but under the right conditionsâŠEXPLODE!!
I still wouldnât eat it. The human body is over 98 degrees Fahrenheit, and if overheating is all it takes for the sauce to explode, Iâm not risking it.
And remember, just a SMALL PACKET of the stuff blew up a majority of the restaurant.
ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached the âin case a nuclear attack happensâ phaseâŠâŠ. [x]
This shit is wild.
There should be an amber alert or something to warn us, hopefully. But if youâre so close to the blast that the entire outside flashes white your first priority is to get underneath the blastwave any way you can.
After that you have 2 options: drive away or protect yourself from the radiation.
Option one is tough because literally everybody else is going to want to do this, and you could get stuck right in the fallout. And lemme tell you, if youâre stuck out there when the ashes first fall for more than 15 minutes, youâre dead. Radiation poisoning.
Option two is harder, but has a better success rate. Get underground. Most houses have a crawlspace, but in this bad time just saw a fucking hole in your floor. Put table over hole. Pack some large containers (like tubs), with dirt, tight, and stack them on your table or wherever youâre going to be directly underneath. you need 36 inches if dirt to be protected from the radiation poisoning. You could preemptively buy lead and stick that in a container with a lot of serface area, i forget how many inches you need vertically.
How ever much serface area the dirt/metal/lead covers is how much you and your party will be able to move around. As long as thereâs enough inches vertically youâll be good so long as you stay under it.
You gotta stay under there for at least 2 weeks, 3 to be sure.
Also, if you can see the mushroom cloud, stick your arm out as far as you can. Do a thumbs-up and close one eye. If your thumb is bigger than the cloud, you are safe. If the cloud is bigger or the same size as your thumb, then that means you are in the radiation zone and should evacuate immediately.
I cannot believe I actually have to freaking reblog this but here y’all go just in case
Now hereâs something cool! What you see above is fresh an salt water mixing in a cave. Fresh water is on the top giving the illusion that itâs air. You can look through my bizarre world tag. I compile all the most interesting posts there!
Imagine seeing the water ripples above you and taking off your scuba gear so you can breathe the air above you and then inhaling a bunch of water.
