What Golden Nugget Of "Information" Do You Have? (r/AskReddit) 

If you cut a hole in a net, it will have less holes.

My wife's ex said once "I'd shoot you in the head if I could." complete narcissist(because of other things ofc). I just stood there and blankly said, "I don't care". Obviously not the reaction he wanted cause he said "you should care!" and I just responded "Why? You go to jail and I'm dead." And he just dropped it lol.

Another hack: literally anything can kill if used correctly

My brother kept a goldfish alive for like a decade. Thing was blind and would just swim in one spot.

Fun fact: the rules of a staring contest say you can’t blink, but they don’t say you can’t wink.

This is the youngest you'll ever be again. Cherish every second of your life.

My golden nugget as a lawyer: know your rights. If police dont have a warrant, they can't do shit (I mean unless they find reasonable suspicion to search you). If they're not putting hand cuffs on you, they have nothing on you. Do not ever volunteer information. If you are being interrogated, demand a lawyer. What's your name? I want a lawyer. How old are you? I want a lawyer. How are you feeling? I want a lawyer. Don't be fooled by lies and playing nice. Cops are NOT your friends.

This subreddit is like Lifehack, but it actually works.

I've worked with feral cat colonies and can confirm that housecats do in fact meow at each other. Usually to call to others, particularly mothers calling for their kittens. After they can see each other, their communication is almost entirely through body language. Learning this language allows one to "speak" cat and makes them much easier to work with. They 100% cannot be herded. They are more verbal with humans than each other. But the idea that they are never verbal with each other is BS.

Proper chest compressions can cause the bones too break I was told this by an ambulance team after I was helping them with helping someone who had overdosed I was giving someone chest compressions as they had instructed and I felt a crunch and they started breathing and were taken in an ambulance the team member told me I did a great job but they probably should have warned me I legit thought I'd killed them

If you're having trouble unscrewing the lid on a new jar, whack the top edge of the lid with a fork or butter knife a few times. It breaks the vacuum seal and makes it much easier to open.

19:56 Better yet, learn to get happy when you are wrong. When you make a mistake you improve. Admitting you're wrong when you know you are does gain you serious respect, but it also makes it even better to argue with people. If you are in an argument and you aren't backing down, the person you're arguing knows you're being serious because you aren't admitting you're wrong when you are.

Add a little bit of pineapple juice instead of water when making spicy foods and itll mellow the heat and keep the flavor.

For first time parents: Your kids will do what you do far more often than they will follow your advice. Do chores when you are supposed to, it will give them a feeling of bonding with the family. Read a newspaper or work a crossword puzzle when they are doing homework in a visible spot, that way everyone is making themselves better. If your kid is gaining weight, start working yourself out and let them join if they want. Kids hate salads when mom and dad are eating steak, but salads are great when the whole family is sharing a big one. Learn new languages together, pick up a family hobby, and (finally!) get the family involved if your children start showing talent in a field. Your kids can teach the parents from time to time as well, making them even more invested in whatever skill they are practicing. ALWAYS push for open lines of communication between yourselves and your children, never allow your kids to turn away from a challenge until they try, it’s better to collect bruises over collecting regrets. If you want your kids to have a better life than you did as a child, learn what lessons and values a higher class family would espouse on their children and adopt those values. Hard work won’t get your kids as far as connections, happiness is good for middle class but is a target and weakness for the elites. Think about the type of burdens you want your children to face, and design your home to prepare your children for such obstacles. It will save you and your children a bunch of hassle to have this set before conception, but it’s not too late until the day they leave the home. Make a golden bar out of those nuggets, hope you enjoyed my Ted Talk.

The "grey rock" method doesn't always work. Some narcissists can spend hours screaming and accusing, until they get a response. Any response - even a casual dismissal or a closed door, is enough for them to claim the moral high ground.

Central park is 100% man made and the waterfalls can be turned off.

1:51 is so true! UTI’s can cause weird behavioural/cognitive symptoms. Even if they’re not that old, still get them checked! My mum’s only in her 50’s and last year she had a UTI and was displaying symptoms of cognitive dysfunction to the point I was worried she’d had a stroke.

When shooting at long range. Most people know that bullets will drop due to gravity. But very few understand the concept of the Coriolis effect. Where the spin of the bullet as well as the hemisphere you are in can play a roll in the target being hit. Or missed by inches. Another one is the myth that holding your breath is the best for accuracy. It is blatantly false despite what games tell you. Exhaling and holding steady will greatly improved accuracy due to the lack of heart tremors or fresh blood causing minute changes.

Have confidence in arguments, most people back down when they see you are sure of your point, be aware that when u are wrong u have to admit defeat P.S. Selfconfidence isnt being annoying and stubborn. Selfconfidence is believing yourself Stubborn is not believing others

When I went to work at my current job, a was given an account of, "Guest". I was to use the guest account until I went and got a real one. I never did, it worked fine. Ten years later, I found my guest account didn't come up, when they were looking at everyone employed. They just fire people, if you make to much money. It's alway, "We can't help it, we have lower payroll. " , but they hire people right afterwards, to replace people. On the computers, I'm a ghost. I'm there, but no one can see me.

3:16 Claudette Colvin’s experience was a pretty interesting research topic for a past project, I definitely recommend giving her full story a look sometime

The reason why they didn't want Claudette to become the face of the movement was the fact she was a pregnant teenager in the 1950s-60s. Which was a big no-no back then.

13:33 My mom is a narcissist and she did shit like this constantly to me and my sibs when we were children She also took delight in telling me that she should have given me up for adoption as a baby or killed me so she wouldn't have to deal with parenting me Yeah, I don't talk to her anymore.

I remember being in church at sunday school and having to use the bathroom, and the teachers always made everyone wait until it was 'bathroom time'. I told my dad in a less articulate way that I wasn't going to voluntarily go someplace and then be told when I could use the restroom. Never went back.

Golden nugget: Doctors are just people, if you feel feel like you aren’t getting the help you need, go to someone else and repeat as needed. My cousin both went through health problem hell growing up, and her having a car accident near John Hopkins (great doctors) in her 20s was the only reason we were both diagnosed. Our brains literally do not get enough blood flow and our doctors didn’t catch the problem despite it being common for our age/gender.

Here's a trick I got from my dad. All my fellow bad at math folks, when you tip 20% at a restaurant, instead of doing 20% just double 10%. If you have a $36 meal, take $3.6 and double it for $7.2. That's your tip.

If you ever have hail damage, fire damage or water damage to your home and you're going to file an insurance claim hire a public adjuster first! The public adjuster works for people only not insurance companies and can usually get the claims up around 400% of what the insurance company wants to pay. You will have considerably more money than you need to do the project.

When mining nether gold, you should use silk touch and smelt it because it will guaruntee a full gold ingot, rather than just a couple gold nuggets. It’s a golden nugget of info.

I believe the reason Claudette Colvin wasn’t chosen is because she was a teenage mother who had a child by a married man.

For the task manager one, “back in my day” control alt delete brought the task manager up directly and you didn’t have to select it from no stinkin’ menu! *grumble grumble* get off my lawn *grumble grumble*

re "gray rock treatment" - I have found that to look silently at the floor with a stance and an expression clearly indicating pure embarrassment FOR the tantrum thrower can actually get them to bid a hasty retreat from the room.

Learning how to pass on skills to others can be just as important as learning them in the first place, this applies everywhere. don't just teach what, but why. being able to apply them to different contexts is what makes skills grow.

The grey rock treatment made me laugh that's basically all the army is get yelled at and grey rock 😂

Dang, so in that one early episode of Gray's Anatomy when the famous violinist has to have his heart replaced and doesn't play the same way afterward, it was because his original heart acted as an internal metronome but when the vagus nerve was cut, his body couldn't regulate the bpm of the new heart and he lost his internal metronome... As a musician myself, this is terrifying

Anyone else read these instead of listening to audio? Run on sentence or minimal pause at the end of a sentence is like nails on a chalkboard : )

“I prayed so hard for my bladder to be sustained.” Epic line there.

The thing about the "All colors of fruit loops have the same taste" is true If the different colors taste different to you, you are tasting the food coloring, not that they are different tastes. This goes for ANYTHING that uses food coloring and nothing else to change the pieces.

The song Stayin Alive by The Bee Gees is actually the perfect tempo for CPR compressions

This one was really hard to accept, but you don't have to eat what's on your plate. Just because you were going to eat it doesn't mean you're obligated to eat it anyways. Leftovers are a thing, throwing out food is a thing, and the stigma of "people are starving you should eat" has always been a garbage argument. They may be starving, but you eating or not eating isn't gonna change that.

The original metal band Black Sabbath was named after an Italian movie, starring Boris Karloff. Boris Karloff voiced the narrator and the Grinch from the 1966 animated feature. So in case you ever wanted to mashup Dr. Seuss and heavy metal, it was done 54 years ago.

If you don't tip your delivery driver they remember it. Not only that but everyone else in the store knows you don't tip as well, and when on a run for multiple deliveries yours will be delivered to you last. Always.

Most common adhesives, like those used to stick labels to surfaces, can be dissolved with a bit of vegetable oil. Worked wonders for me on a Ragu bottle when I needed to reuse it, worked just as well with a pesky windshield sticker that I needed removed, it just took more vegetable oil.

The spaghetto joke got me crying laughing straight for 5 minutes.

If, (for some reason) you are skydiving and your parachute fails, you want to head for trees instead of water. Falling from 100 feet or above into water will result into you flattening like a pancake. From that high it’s about the amount of pressure you would be putting on from hitting concrete face first from the same hight. Shortened version: If you are falling from an airplane, stay away from water, you will die if not.

To avoid leg cramps, routinely stretch your feet on the "contrary" position. That is, instead of doing the easily-done norm of tiptoeing, instead plant your heels in the ground and lift the rest of your feet, pointing your toes as high as you can. Leave your feet on that position for about three to five seconds. And that's all she wrote. Repeat as much as you like, just remember to do it a few times every day. The reason for this is, the tiptoeing position is done so easily and so mindlessly by the majority of people, especially when they're laying down or have their feet dangling off the ground, that they're not letting the counterpulling muscles on their calves to have any rest at all, thus cramps happen. This little stretching exercise balances out the overexertion on these muscles. So remember to let your heels relieve your toes more often.

19:51 i always admit when I’m wrong, but I gain literally no respect

My go-to? A pineapple grows on the ground. Story: my grandparents once went to Hawaii. They were on some kind of tour, and there was a lady in their group who insisted that pineapples grow on trees. So the tourguide went into a pineapple field and picked one just to prove it to her. At least, that's how I remember the story.

16:28 Reason why Treaty put limits on size of battleships, not just their combined weight, was because unlike smaller ships, you absolutely could build battleship that outmatches enemy simply by making it bigger and heavier. So point of this part was to stop very expensive arms race in who builds bigger battleships, that in just 15 years increased displacement of battleships from 15-20 thousand tons to 40-50 thousand.

No person in the history of humanity has seen the universe without a conscious experience. this means that we still lack the evidence that proves that the universe even exists outside of our consciousness, or without the consciousness being present.

Cancel/reschedule social plans with friends the moment you become unsure if you’ll be able to make them. Trust me on this, people will be more mad that you cancelled social plans when it’s the day of as opposed to some days before.

Fun fact, even if you really don't have to go to the bathroom, try anyways, might be surprised lol

Wait, people don’t gray rock automatically? Edit: automatically sometimes, not always.

its only 9 banded armadillos that have identical quads. 6 banded have 1-3 at a time usually.

0:54 Right click the taskbar on the bottom of your screen can open the task manager as well

If you're scared to do something, try to think of it as a way to become stronger, it will help you have courage to do it.

3:16 another reason why they didn't want Colvin to be a main face of the movement is because she had gotten pregnant as a teen

lobsters do not die unless killed.

12:37 That does not work. I've tried it. It really depends on how angry and "broken" the aggressor is. Some will hit you. They don't always care about getting a reaction; they care about actually getting away with the yelling and screaming.

Did you know? - a nugget is a small piece of valuable information - not a 400 word essay on your favourite subject.

"Iron can make your poop colour turn black" a lot of things can change the colour of the solids/liquids that come out of you. I've seen grass green urine- the patient was on meds that turned urine blue, and he was dehydrated so his urine would ordinarily be yellow. I thought someone put some cleaning chemicals in a urine sample container and almost threw it out till I felt that it was still warm.

The gray rock treatment is how I would deal with Karens when I was working retail

I actually almost had to repeat a ye ar 9ver the Xy yx one. My maths teacher wanted us to do it his way, and o found and easier way, and when h said I had to do it him the wa he wanted I was just like " why, I got it done correctly?"

Walk backwards when getting away from a bear. Turing to show your back my cause an attack, looking into the eyes can trigger an attack. stay calm move slow and be calm

grey rock theory works. years back had some kid about half my age want to fight me and I just stood there expressionless after him not wanting to listen to my side. After he says lets take this outside I just told him to go away. He went away

17:15 This is something I've learned as well, naturally. I've gotten various bug bites and used this trick and it works quite well on most bites (though I heat up a lighter). Even poison I took probably 20+ baths the last time I had it, with _very_ hot water, and it quelled the itching quite well, and it even lasted after I got out (for a little while). Heat (I specifically recommend hot baths) also help with upset stomach, hurt muscles and other things. If you have cramps or feel especially nauseous for some reason, take a hot bath. You won't regret it!

The Claudette Colvin story missed one of the main reasons why they didn’t use her for the civil rights movement.. she was 15, dark skin, and visibly pregnant at the time. Oh and there was someone before Claudette who refused to move from their seat on the bus.

He “realised” he had packed a bit of dish soap. Who travels with dish soap 😂😭

9:24 the time somewhat does matter! if you eat during night, you're more likely to get overweight, because of reasons that i can't explain in english.

When someone asks you a question, never start your answer with the word "Look". It sounds like you're commanding them to pay attention to you, and puts people offside instantly.

Never let your guard down around anybody. Your life long friend that says he, or she, has your back, will be the first to stab you on your back. Your family member that says family is everything will be the first to betray you for their benefit. It is okay to enjoy time with a friend or a family member. It is okay to somewhat relax around them. But never fully trust them. A clear and easy way to get ahead at your expense can be easily exercised with no regard to you.

Deadass thought the gray rock treatment was find a grey rock and hit them with hit.

Holy crap!!! That RU-vid ad avoidance tip is ingenious.

4:48 As someone who works bag-room and planeside at an airport, I can confirm this as 100% True. Don't check your bags in late people, it's not only an inconvenience for you, but also us who have to wait for someone from the airline to come and retag the bag for a later flight, and then having to keep track of that one bag when we have dozens of other flights to worry about.

That fact about hiring outside specific degrees that were for that position, this is so true. I’m a twin brother. My twin went to college and got a degree. I just have my HS degree. Yet, because he’s socially unaware and I’m more aware, I’ve been hired more times because I can nail interviews with confidence. This would inform the tip more if we went after the same kinds of jobs and after hearing this, I’m more comfortable trying for positions I don’t have degrees for a desired position. I meet with them, we hit it off and even if I’m turned down, I know the interviewer will still remember me. I’ve been hired after an organization told me no before. My brother? He gets nervous, stares, doesn’t blink, clams up, can barely breathe and has only been hired a handful of times. His degree carries a lot of weight for him. He’s a good guy, he just says the wrong things. What I will admit is I’m jealous of his focus and determination after being hired. He’s a smart dude. If we were identical, I’d do his interviews for him.

Humans are born with a deep-seated survival instinct. This is why the idea of other dimensions and other life forms besides those we know is so utterly terrifying. These realities may be right in front of our eyes but because of our fear, we deny that they are real. This is what the ancients, sages, and mystics have been trying to tell us for millennia.

the gray rock method is precisely what happened with tyra banks and the infamous "i was rooting for you"

Both of my NJROTC instructors openly carry pocket knives despite this being illegal in our state. I’m currently attempting to stealthily gather photos of the objects that appear to be knives(Clips on pockets) and then release them to a local news station. I don’t really care about the knife part, because we live pretty much in the sticks and I have had other students claim to carry knives and also claim that other teachers carry (concealed) weapons, the part that I care about is getting yelled at almost every day of a semester in NJROTC.(Including the day after my grandfather passed away, I got yelled at for missing the day, he didn’t know but when I not so silently stated it in an assignment, he never apologized.) I understand that likely no one will read this, but it sometimes just feels better to talk to open silence than listen to brash madness.

true fact: if you know something don’t taste good at all but you are force to drink/eat it, plug you’re nose, it takes taste right out of you’re mouth and makes things easier.

12:20 Making this timestamp so I can always come back to this gold nugget later.

Here I am waiting for a heart attack for the 8th year.

Hot water on cold porcelain can cause a crack.

In Minecraft, don't build in high-detail. Build in high-scale. It takes a virtually equal amount of time to make a skyscraper as it does to build a 3 floor rustic house with detail, and the skyscraper will be abundantly more impressive, and more of a utility.

As a person with a kidney transplant, I can relate to the heart transplant story. The kidney that you get is only hooked up to your vascular system, all the nerves and connection to the brain have been cut off. So if your blood pressure is too high or too low, your kidney doesn't get the message to release or retain fluid to adjust your blood pressure. It also doesn't respond like it should and work when it should. You can get dehydrated or bloated just randomly. I also had emergency heart surgery when I was on dialysis, because the lining of my heart became infected, and my heart wouldn't beat, along with one of my lungs not expanding. This was all because fluid had collected in the sacs around the organs. So they had to go in and cut the sac off my heart and remove it. They went in through my back between my ribs, and somehow they managed to cut or damage the nerve that goes from my brain to my stomach. So after the heart surgery, I can no longer really tell when I am hungry like I used to. Like I don't really get hunger pangs. This can be nice in a way, but it's also annoying, because I can get really weak and be about to pass out, because I'm actually quite hungry. When they remove the lining from the heart, it's an adjustment at first, because your heart is just free floating in your chest without the protective sac, called the pericardium. At first it was especially weird when I would sneeze, as I could feel my heart slamming against my chest wall. I became hyper aware of the presence of my own heart. Fun times. I also have a really hard time getting myself to drink, because I spent 7 1/2 years being told to heavily restrict all fluids/drinks, anything with liquid in it, like fruit, soup, rice, et cetera. The diet you have to be on when you are on dialysis is the most restrictive thing I've ever seen, it's downright depressing. Especially because there were already a bunch of foods I couldn't eat before I got on that diet.

Its kinda dumb but personally helped me quite a lot in keeping a good number of friends in the long run despite actually having all the nicities of a rock. If you dont remember someones birthday, just let your regards be known to them on another day, preferably the closest one you remember and celebrate and wish as though it is the real thing. Usually people will correct you and give another opportunity to remember it and wont really say anything mean or negetive but mostly view it as being understandable anyways because "its the thought that counts." Even if you dont hear, care about or remember what the person in front of you is talking about, try to avoid apologizing and asking them to repeat it as much as possible, instead either string the first few words that you happen to hear into a joke for extra charisma + "wow they are actually listening to what I am saying!" Points. Alternatively, if you cant think anything interesting up just mimic their expression. In a group setting if you arent sure about something but wanna say something anyways say it but follow it up with and a slightly confused tone and correct yourself by saying "wait no...the right thing is at the tip of my tongue" until someone else tries to or does correct you and exclaim "yeah, exactly." For whatever they say. If you are right they see you as someone who smart and easily picks up on cues if not they see you as a helpful and kinda contributive goofball and it also means that you wont be alone if your decision or idea turns out to be bad since its just as much as the correctors idea as it is yours and people will likely remember that.

"iron can make your poop turn black" should be thought of as "black poop is very likely a sign that you may have internal bleeding, go to a doctor immediately!"

Those covid nurses comments hit a new kind of hard now that 15 days to flatten the curve turned into 365+ days

There is something called "heat of fusion". The energy required for a material to change state. When Ice is melting (or freezing), it will stay at 0 degrees C, until the heat of fusion requirement is met. So, if you have a storm coming and might lose power, fill a bunch of containers with water and put them in the freezer. When the power goes out, put the containers (now ice) in the refrigerator. As long as you open the refrigerator, and there is still some ice, you know it is close to freezing temperature. This can keep your food cold for days without power.

11:13 please attempt to fix or have some fix/upgrade your old tech instead of tossing it. I rejuvenated my parents 2007 crap box pc last year for $100. Went from 2gb of ram to 6gb, went from a core duo 4000 to a core quad 9400, moved all the files to an SSD and threw in my old gt710. Now my sister has fairly speedy desktop for work and streaming video.

Sharks are fairly calm and docile animals. Humans are not naturally part of a shark’s diet and most shark attacks are accidents whereupon the shark will let go afterward (A human on a surfboard looks like a seal to a shark). You’re more likely to be killed by an exploding microwave (avg. 500 people a year) than a shark (avg. 8 people a year). That being said- do not approach wild sharks because they are still wild animals, and they might respond in an unpredictable way or you might hurt them by accident. If by some chance you are attacked by a shark, try to flip it over onto it’s back. This will induce a state called tonic immobility and basically knock it out without hurting it. The shark will be fine and will recover in about fifteen minutes. If flipping it over isn’t an option, or if the shark isn’t letting go, punch it _hard_ in the nose, or try to gouge at it’s eyes or gills with your thumbs.
