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
This was always the reason at school for why we weren’t allowed to splash on puddles or walk in the mud. Even as a kid I called bullshit because I never saw tons of abandoned shoes in the mud. As a parent now I wonder how the heck they keep the kids out of the mud and puddles as well as they did
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.

Yeah I’ve never seen quicksand, but I have stepped in that thick-ass mud that traps you and schlorps your shoe off
“Schlorp” is a very fitting word here

That’s a dope warning sign 🙌
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.

Im still worried about this one.
