  • This is why in electrical trade you’re taught to use your right hand, with your right foot below your shoulder, and left leg out (when doing anything sketchy).

    If you do get shocked then the current will travel down the right-side of your body, and out through your right leg.

    That’s not to say throw caution to the wind, but some people need to do risky things (that’s why sparkies get paid a lot).

    For example, a guy I used to work with had to repair a switchboard at the hospital, which supplied power to the theatre rooms. Time sensitive matter as I’m sure you can imagine.

    This guy was a pro, and was wise to take the safety precaution. When it came time to power back on the switchboard, not only did he right-hand/right-foot, he shielded his body and face with the switchboards door panel.

    Something inside blew up, and he got his hand burned quite badly. Fortunate for him to be at a hospital. In this case he didn’t need the right-hand/right-foot technique, but if things happened differently, it could have saved his life.





  • Depends where you live. A lot of this stuff can be acquired afterwards.

    As an Aussie, firearms are very hard to come across. Also, I’ve never fired a gun before, so I would pick the shotgun because I know my terrible aim would be mitigated somewhat.

    Water purifier. Duh.

    Fire axe. Utility + weapon.

    Tent. I live close to nature, so my game plan is to stock up on nonperishables and go camp for as long as I can, and hope that the zombies have thinned out by the time I need to start scavaging




  • First off, I choose to visualise breastfeeding as I see fit, I even partake in it sometimes. What happens between me and my dog is none of your business.

    Second, I’m being hyperbolic for the sake of illustrating the absurdity of it. If someone was milking a cow and drinking it straight from the glass, that’s still just as weird, albeit slightly more comfortable for the consumer.

    Adding transports between the cow and the drinker doesn’t change the weirdness either.

    Drinking the lactation of a cow is weird, just as weird as drinking platypus milk.
