You've obviously never heard of a Gatorade bottle

u/LolnothingmattersXD Female, 23 2h ago

(Gatorade doesn't exist where I live, but that's just me being a smartass)

Oh right, I didn't think of that, being female

Think it depends how.

Like an all out 1on1 brawl with weapons, bare fist or in a gunfight is a hard task.

Someone gonna die and hope it ain't me lol

The thing is, you need to make up your mind like…today if you have the gaul to end someone’s life if they threaten yours.

I’ve been in that situation and the hesitation almost costed me my life. You need to have that resolve wayyyy before

Human beings are capable of incredible feats when survival is at stake

There are plenty of dead people that prove the contrary is also true

I'm not a master swordsman or anything....but if I had to bang a supermodel to save my life, I could 100% do it.

Land a plane.

I don't care about the memes. I grew up playing flight simulators on PC and I know enough basics about flight mechanics that I could bring a plane down without killing everyone, in scenarios where landing on flat land would be possible.

u/cabronfavarito 1h ago

Some mouth breathers are going to come here and try to tear you down but there is a reason why flight simulators are a part of pilot training

u/J-Rag- Big boy 4h ago

No you couldn't

u/FishAroundFindTrout9 4h ago

Depends on the type of plane. There have been plenty of stories of people with no flying experience landing small single and dual engine planes. However, I’ve seen a few simulator tests of a non pilot trying to land a jet while being instructed by an airline pilot and they always crash. Even with automated features, in the last few seconds things come at them too fast and they can’t keep up.

u/simpleuser123 7h ago

Join a gym with a pool. Take it lap by lap. Not in the mood to swim then you can lift. Switch back and forth.

u/KerryBoehm Male 7h ago

I regularly swim half a mile in the ocean without much issue. Even at 55 not a stretch as long as it’s not exceptional tides/wind.

u/asleepbydawn Male 6h ago

As long as the waters are relatively calm (and not freezing lol), it's pretty doable.

u/finallygotmeone 34m ago

Was in a plane crash in the ocean off the coast of California many years ago. Obviously we survived. As the plane began to sink, they told all the swimmers to get on the left wing and that the shore was about a mile away. Then they told all the non-swimmers to get on the right wing and Thank You for Flying Pan AM airlines.

As a sufferer of a Murphy bloodline, nothing is 100% certain for me. But I'm like 80-85% certain on bushcraft and wilderness survival, barring any bloodline-related calamity.

Got stabbed once, stopped the bleeding enough to drive myself to the ER. Got blood on the seats which didn't really come out (pulp fiction scene was bullshit). This also caused problems when I went to sell that car a year later.
