I gotta naysay here. Seatbelts do a LOT of harm. Not everyone can wear one and not everyone wants to risk it. Just among my own friends and people I know in general; 4 females had a breast cut completely or partially off due to a seat belt. 6 people had their throats cut, to an obviously non-lethal degree. 2 had their stomach’s cut open to a horrifying degree that I won’t elaborate on.
Not even counting the uncomfortably awkward belt locations for particularly large, small, fat, skinny people. Females with large breasts get the joy of holding the belt in place or adjusting it every couple seconds.
They’re awkward, uncomfortable, painful, and can often cause the injuries in an accident. Sometimes it’s just better to forgo the belt.
Those injuries caused by seat belts more than very likely would have been deadly had they not been wearing them. To have enough force to cut skin or cut off a breast in an accident is far more than enough to cause someone to go flying through the windshield of a car, to slam them into the steering column, or through a window resulting in deadly injuries or causing an even bigger accident for other drivers now that your body is in the road along with your crashed car. Are you really going to risk being a smear of ground meat on the pavement because your seat belt was a little uncomfortable or it might cut you? Then I got good news for you, there’s a wide variety of devices made specifically to make seat belts more comfortable and reduce that risk.
These make it so that your seat belt won’t cut your neck, a simple sleeve of padded fabric that velcros around it, meaning you can put it anywhere on the belt.
This one does something similar, by readjusting the positioning of the seat belt to move it farther away from your neck and hey, helps a bit with having boobs in the way.
They even make ones for children too.
Boobs still in the way? While it’s pretty silly looking, this helps keep the seat belt in place so you don’t have to keep adjusting it.
And if you’re overweight, they make seat belt extenders so you can still be safe.
But maybe you’re still unsure, then listen to the CDC and all of their sources.
“More than half of the people killed in car crashes were not restrained at the time of the crash.1 Wearing a seat belt is the most effective way to prevent death and serious injury in a crash.Seat belt use is on the rise. Laws, education, and technology have increased seat belt use from 11% in 19812 to nearly 85% in 20103, saving hundreds of thousands of lives. “
“Most drivers and passengers killed in crashes are unrestrained. 53% of drivers and passengers killed in car crashes in 2009 were not wearing restraints.1Seat belts dramatically reduce risk of death and serious injury. Among drivers and front-seat passengers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45%, and cut the risk of serious injury by 50%.4Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being ejected during a crash. People not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash. More than 3 out of 4 people who are ejected during a fatal crash die from their injuries.5Seat belts save thousands of lives each year, and increasing use would save thousands more. Seat belts saved almost 13,000 lives in 2009. If all drivers and passengers had worn seat belts that year, almost 4,000 more people would be alive today”
“
The number of those who escaped injury [by wearing a seat belt] increased by 40% and those with mild and moderate injuries decreased by 35% after seatbelt legislation. There was a significant reduction in soft tissue injuries to the head. Only whiplash injuries to the neck showed a significant increase.”
“
Fifty-five percent of those killed in passenger vehicle occupant crashes in 2008 were not wearing a seat belt…”
“Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury by almost 50%. For children, the risk of fatal injury is reduced by 71% with the use of child safety seats.“
“Of those thrown completely out of a vehicle in a car crash, 75% died. Only one percent of people totally ejected from their cars had on a seat belt during the crash. Over 30% were not wearing seat belts.“
Conclusion? Wear your fucking seat belt. Tell your kids to wear their fucking seat belt. Tell your friends and family to wear their fucking seat belts. Time and time again it’s been proven that you are significantly more likely to survive a crash if you’re wearing one. Most people think they’re uncomfortable, but when you’re in a crash it can save your life. I’d rather be mildly injured than dead.
Wear your seat belt.
“uwu dont wear seatbelts bc some people got injured by them”
THEY SURVIVED. which is much better than dying bc you flew through the damn windshield!! fucking dumbass.
God this is so important. Wear your seat belt. There is no excuse you can make that is good enough to justify putting your life at risk. “I’m a safe driver” is probably the most common one I’ve heard. First, they are called “Accidents for a reason. Just because you are a safe driver doesn’t mean everyone else on the road is. Protect yourself from other people’s unsafe actions and wear a seat belt. Second, it’s the law. Even if you never get into an accident ever, you can still get a major fine and let’s be real, nobody wants to pay a fine just for being a little more comfortable.
I don’t think ppl realize that the oldest “millenials” are like 30+ now. We know what vhs tapes and CDs are. If you mean teenagers, say teenagers.
im 21 and grew up with vhs and cds. literally you’d have to be under 18 to not know about them.
And even then, most kids under 18 know what they are because they typically had a VCR kickin around to watch disney or old movies on.
most ppl used their VHS/VCR until around 2005-2007 so you literally have to be 15ish and under to have never used one and 10ish and under to have never seen/heard of one.
they say millenials and they mean actual children lol
stores that sell media type stuff: *still have big cd sections*
bafflingly many writers: “what’s a cd?” said bobby the teenager

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.
The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?
You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.
You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy
different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is
trichromat.
You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a
tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue,
green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color
will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is
tetrachromat.
You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are
making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and
probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway
:)
It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th
cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter
the background light ;)
I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.
I see 35-39 colours, and I hate the colour yellow. That was actually what made me curious enough to stop scrolling and count. Who knew there was a scientific reason behind my colour preferences?
So the idea here is that what I see as annoyingly, garishly bright, most people don’t see as clearly, and that’s why it’s “cheerful?” (I’ve never understood that description of yellow.)
If I remember correctly this went on for a few more screenshots and ended with the person in grey being outed against their will at school
also if someone tells you not to tell someone something don’t fucking screenshot it for the internet
Dudes obviously uncomfortable with what’s happening and this is why dudes can never talk about finding other dudes attractive without some fucking weeb being like ‘omg tell me about ur GAY’ 5 bucks says the person in blue is some yaoi shipper who thinks it’s cute to harrass queer men smh
this needs the rest of the messages, so you people know someone actually got hurt
there are so many ways this could’ve gone which wouldn’t have resulted in this. this tweeter is fucking cruel
What the FUCK
@douche-slug these are the screenshots I was referencing in that post.
If this is real it’s incredibly fucked up.
:/ worst part is even if he’s bi, there’s no way he’d ever be comfortable in his skin now; that’s such a cruel thing to do to someone.
An origin story this treasured deserves the royal treatment! 💎 That’s why these freaky-fierce ghoulfriends will be available exclusively at Mattel Shop, beginning 7/19! 🙌🎉
We’ve reached a point in time where something like Happy Tree Friends, once a well known internet cartoon, is so irrelevant that the youth can be tricked like this
Hi guys,
I need your help. When I got accepted to Redroofs school for the performing arts, it was a dream come true for me, but when my parents told me they couldn’t pay the £24,000 for school fees and accommodation, my world fell apart. If I don’t get the £24,000, I will have to turn down the chance of my life. Please reblog and help me go to school! https://www.gofundme.com/3ycj45ssihnsi
If the purge was real you would catch me in a bullet proof car wearing a full bullet proof onesie with hella guns & knives breaking into Sephora, Ulta, Barneys New York, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Yves Saint Laurent, & a pet store.
