50 Reasons Why Not Wearing A Helmet Is The Dumbest Thing You Can Do (New Pics)
August 7, 2022
When David Hollister introduced a seat belt bill in Michigan in the early 1980s that imposed a fine for not buckling up, the state representative received hate mail comparing him to Hitler. At the time, only 14 percent of Americans regularly wore seat belts, even though the federal government required lap and shoulder belts in all new cars starting in 1968.
Drivers and passengers were arguing that seat belts were uncomfortable and restrictive, but the uproar was mostly ideological.
Similarly, growing up in Northern Europe in the 1990s, I constantly heard kids on my block say that only stupid dorks wore helmets when riding their bikes. “What, can’t you drive?”, they’d ask, preparing a heavy barrage of insults.
But just like seat belts, this gear is often the deciding factor that separates life and death. To remind you that putting on a helmet is the smartest thing you can do, we at Bored Panda compiled a list of scary accidents that could’ve been much worse if it wasn’t for them.

There are different helmets for different activities, and each type of helmet is designed to protect your head from the impact common to a particular activity or sport.
You should always wear a helmet that is appropriate for the activity you’re involved in because other types of helmets may not protect you equally well.
“Some helmets can be worn for multiple activities, but don’t assume,” Levy said. “Check the manufacturer’s instructions for guidelines before buying a helmet.”

#13 Can Anyone Tell Me Why Anything Other Than Full Face Helmets Are A Good Idea?

To ensure optimal protection, your helmet should:
- Feel comfortable but snug;
- Sit evenly on your head (not be tilted back on the top of the head or pulled too low over your forehead);
- Not move in any direction, back to front or side to side;
- Have a secure buckle to keep it from moving or falling off on either a first or second impact. So if you are riding your bike and collide with something (first impact), the helmet will still be firmly in place if you then fall onto the pavement (second impact);
- Be easy to adjust and fit properly without a lot of adjustments. And once adjustments have been made, they should stay put.

#16 Two Years Ago Today, This Dot Certified Helmet Absorbed A 50mph Impact And Saved My Life
On this day two years ago, this DOT-certified helmet saved my life. It successfully absorbed the majority of a 50mph impact on pavement. There is an indent on the front left that would have surely been a fractured skull without it, and numerous scrapes around the top and chin that would have left me maimed if it did not stay on my head throughout the entirety of the crash. Fortunately, my mind and body are working properly today because of this life-saving equipment.
If you are a rider, I encourage you to own and wear one of these every time you ride. I recommend one with a face shield or guard. If you know someone who rides, please encourage them to wear one.

According to Levy, it can be especially challenging getting kids to always wear a helmet, so it’s up to parents to set hard and fast rules.
“Be consistent and firm,” she said. “Don’t negotiate. Don’t compromise. Don’t give them a choice: Either they wear the helmet or they don’t ride their bike, scooter, etc. That way, they know you take it seriously they make it a habit.”
Parents should also lead by example and always wear their helmets.

#20 Daily Reminder To Always Wear A Helmet

When it comes to the helmets themselves, while it’s OK to purchase your child’s clothes in a size larger than he or she wears, the same is not true of helmets; helmets should fit perfectly when you purchase them.
Test your children’s sizing by having them try on a variety of helmets. When fastened and tightened, the helmet should not move from side to side or front to back, and your child’s forehead should be properly covered to keep it protected.
Helmets for children or toddlers should also have a buckle that holds firm in a crash but releases after five seconds of steady pull to avoid potential strangulation. A child’s helmet will usually fit for several years, and most models have removable fitting pads that can be replaced with thinner ones as the child’s head grows.

Those guidelines apply to children who are at least 1 year old. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children under 1 year of age should not be on bicycles at all.
“It’s simply not safe to take a baby on a bicycle,” Levy highlighted. “Babies haven’t developed sufficient bone mass and muscle tone to enable them to sit unsupported with their backs straight. And, just as important, their necks aren’t strong enough to support the weight of even the lightest helmets. So even though baby-sized helmets are available, they are not advisable.”

But you also have to remember that helmets aren’t forever. Some are manufactured to withstand one impact, while others are made to withstand multiple impacts.
Bicycle helmets, for example, are designed to protect against a single severe impact, such as a fall onto the pavement. The foam material in the helmet will crush to absorb the impact energy during a fall and can’t protect you again from a subsequent impact. So even if there are no visible signs of damage, you must replace it.
Other helmets are often designed to protect against multiple moderate impacts, including football and hockey helmets. However, you may still have to replace these helmets after one severe impact, particularly if the helmet has visible signs of damage, such as a cracked shell or a permanent dent.

Everything To Know About Granddaddy Purple Strain
June 27, 2022
Looking for a strain that will offer a heavy body high and relaxing mind? Then you should consider trying out Granddaddy Purple. This cannabis is known for its grape-like aroma, which is why it got its name. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about this popular strain.
Rather than choosing randomly, more consumers are now selecting strain-specific terpenes; in other words, they are choosing strains based on the terpenes they contain. This is just one of the reasons why the granddaddy purple strain is more popular than ever before.
History of the Granddaddy Purple Strain
The Granddaddy Purple strain was first introduced in 2003 by Ken Estes; it’s a cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud. The two parent strains are popular, but together they create an even more potent hybrid. Since its introduction, the strain has won many awards such as the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2004.
Appearance of Granddaddy Purple Buds
The buds of the Granddaddy Purple strain are large and dense. They’re a deep purple color with orange pistils. The buds are also covered in a thick layer of trichomes, which is what gives them their high THC content.
Terpene Profile
What about the granddaddy purple terpenes? The most dominant terpenes in this strain are myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. These three terpenes work together to give the strain its signature flavor and smell.
Because of its high myrcene content, the granddaddy purple strain has a musky, earthy flavor with hints of berry. On the other hand, the high limonene content generates a citrus-based smell. With all the different combinations, what you have is something that smells like grapes (hence the name!).
The Effects of Granddaddy Purple
So, what can you expect when you consume granddaddy purple? This strain is known for its relaxing and sedative effects. It is perfect for unwinding after a long day or for treating pain and inflammation. Granddaddy purple can also help with insomnia, making it a great choice for nighttime use.
Granddaddy Purple is an ideal strain for beginner cannabis consumers. It is not too overpowering, so long as you manage the amount that you consume. Since it is a potent strain, it is important to start with a low dose and work your way up.
Granddaddy Purple is available in both Indica-dominant and Sativa-dominant varieties. Indica-dominant Granddaddy Purple will offer more relaxing and sedative effects, while Sativa-dominant Granddaddy Purple will be more uplifting and energizing. No matter which variety you choose, this particular strain is sure to offer a delicious taste and powerful effects.
If you’re completely new to this niche, where do you start when choosing between terpenes and strains? Here’s a quick beginner’s guide to help you make your decision.
When it comes to cannabis strains, there are two main types: Indica and Sativa. As a general rule of thumb, Indica strains are more relaxing while Sativa strains are more uplifting. If you’re not sure which type you want, a good place to start is by looking at the ratio of Indica to Sativa in the strain. For example, a 50/50 hybrid strain will offer a balance of effects, while an 80/20 Indica-dominant strain will be more relaxing, and a 20/80 Sativa-dominant strain will be more energizing.
Over time, you’ll also learn your preferred terpenes (smells and aromas!).
3 Basic Hair Styling Tips for Men
June 27, 2022
Looking for a little help when it comes to styling your hair? Check out these three basic tips that are perfect for men of all ages. These tips will help you achieve a polished, put-together look without spending too much time or money (the ideal combination!).
Choose Your Hairstyle Carefully
Firstly, ensure that your hairstyle matches your lifestyle. If you’re constantly on the go, opt for a low-maintenance style that doesn’t require too much upkeep. On the other hand, if you have a bit more time on your hands, you can afford to experiment with different styles. It’s all about finding a look that works for you and your lifestyle.
Not only do low-maintenance styles not take long on those manic Monday mornings, but you also don’t need to spend a lot of money on hair products. Good quality shampoo and conditioner will do the trick, along with a styling product like wax or gel to keep your hair in place all day long.
Team Up with Your Barber
Often, people see their barber as somebody who cuts their hair…but why end the relationship there? Instead of simply handing money across each time you get a haircut in Denver, why not ask for their advice on styling and maintaining your hair? After all, they are the experts.
Your barber will be more than happy to offer advice on what products to use, how to style your hair, and even give you a few pointers on how to keep it healthy. If you’re really stuck for ideas, they may even be able to show you a few styles that would suit your lifestyle and look.
Use the Right Products
As well as shampoos, conditioners, waxes, and gels, we’re also talking about combs and other products. Different hair types will require different combs – for example, those with thicker hair might need a wide-toothed comb to avoid breakage, while those with thinner hair can get away with using a fine-toothed option.
Similarly, the products you use should be tailored to your hair type. If you have oily skin, for example, you might want to use a gel that helps to control oil production. If you have dandruff, you’ll need to use a shampoo that’s specifically designed to tackle it.
Your hair is one of the things that you can change daily, so don’t be afraid to experiment every so often. Try out different products, styles, and looks until you find something that works for you. Remember, if all else fails, you can always just go for the classic short back and sides. This is a timeless look that can be easily achieved with minimal effort. For those days when you want to put in a little more time and effort, you can explore new styles.
Ultimately, don’t forget that your hair is an extension of your overall style. If you take care of your hair and ensure that it’s well-kept, it will look after you in return. Keep in mind that styling often starts with clean hair – if you don’t look after your hair with the right shampoos and conditioners, styling becomes much harder.

Our planet Earth is so full of breathtaking places, you would probably need a whole lifetime to travel them all. But let’s say you just decided to do just that. Where to start? How to plan it? What to do and more importantly, not to? These are some of the questions you should consider before buying a one-way flight ticket.
Meanwhile, Big 7 Travel announced the list of the world’s top 50 bucket list destinations that shouldn’t surprise us. “White sandy beaches are still a must-visit for many, with vibrant cities also making an appearance on a lot of people’s bucket lists,” says Clayton-Lea, the head of the content at Big 7 Travel. In fact, countries with naturally beautiful scenery and world-famous landmarks came out on top: 22% of the destinations on the list have white sandy beaches, while 52% are iconic cities.

While Bali topped the list of the 50 most popular bucket list destinations on Earth, some travel picks were less expected. “The top 10 list has a lot of the expected dream destinations, but there are a few surprises on the list: Paro Valley in Bhutan, for example, or Virunga National Park in the Congo,” Clayton-Lea commented. “I think this shows a great appetite for a need to get off the grid and can only assume that social media (and Netflix, in the case of Virunga!) is responsible for spreading the word of these amazing places.”

Bored Panda reached out to Jolene and Andrzej Ejmont, the serial travelers and creators of family travel blog “Wanderlust Storytellers” to find out some tips that you will find useful in case you set out on a mission to visit any of these places.“It’s no secret that often things go against the plan while traveling. But the best way to ensure that your mood stays good, even when things go not according to plan, is to pre-plan the ‘buffer time’ for when you are at a particular destination,” the Ejmont family told us. “For example: if you are going to Rome for three days exploring, book four days to be safe. And if that doesn’t help, there’s always cocktails, chocolate and ice cream.”

Moreover, little details count when you travel and hiring a car without a GPS is such an easy mistake to make, but it can surely make your travel go sour. “It is so much better to rely on the GPS than your personal phone’s maps. It doesn’t matter then if you happen to have no reception on your mobile phone,” Andrzej said.

When asked whether, in their opinion, people are generally more experienced at traveling these days, the Ejmont family said that’s definitely the case. “People are slowly venturing out to more and more of less-travelled destinations and experiencing travels like never before.”
“This, of course, creates more understanding for travel and as a side effect, enriches more and more souls with tolerance, humility and compassion,” Andrzej told us.

When asked about solo traveling, which seems to be tending lately, Andrzej said that solo travels are filled with adventures like no other. “To lose yourself in passion for travel and be open-minded to whatever comes your way, whomever you meet… definitely an adventure in itself.”

‘Aged Like Milk’: 35 Things That Aged So Badly, They Went Sour (New Posts)
March 7, 2022
People say that it’s easy to be right but even easier to be wrong. More often than not, people forget to be careful about what they say online. Quickly typing a few nonsense sentences and pressing “share” might seem like a great idea at the time, but the truth is, they might stay on the internet forever.
The online community called Aged Like Milk is here to remind you of that. As the moderators write in their description, it’s “a subreddit dedicated to all those things in media and elsewhere that didn’t stand the test of time, at all.” More than 795k members are on a mission to find and document ridiculous posts that quickly turned sour.
Take a look at some of the worst takes Bored Panda has collected from this group and upvote your favorite ones. Also, if you’re hungry for more examples of how people’s opinions came back to bite them, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

According to Know Your Meme, “aged like milk” is a catchphrase that mainly describes social media posts that have grown increasingly troublesome since their inception. When people throw their opinions left and right, some of them are bound to be wrong. Well, they might look fine at the time, but time truly shows which beliefs aged poorly by completely breaking modern social norms.
While the origin of the phrase is unknown, the earliest usage comes from a 2006 comedy special Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself. A puppet called Walter said “She’s aging like milk!” in one part of the dialog. Since then, the clip received more than 4.2M views on YouTube and quickly spread to other platforms, forums, and threads.

If you ever felt slightly embarrassed about something you shared online, don’t worry. After all, social media is the place for us to vent about politics, culture, sports, our personal lives, and more, so you’re definitely not the only person to ever have a bad take. In fact, more than half of Americans (57 percent) say they have social media regrets. One in six routinely rue their decision to post at least once a week, with Millennials being the most regular offenders.

These numbers come from YouGov Omnibus’ survey where they asked U.S. citizens about posting or texting something they regret. Many people admitted they were less anxious about sounding silly compared to a few years back. However, they are more worried about damaging their reputation at work — 22 percent said they are concerned that a questionable post might affect their career.
Results also showed that 14 percent of participants feared they may hurt relationships with family members or partners by sharing misguided images or messages. Plus, women were slightly more likely to feel troubled about social media blunders damaging their close relationships than men.

If you’re wondering how to make sure your social media posts won’t come back to bite you, always think twice before sharing something online. Ask yourself if there’s anything in this particular post or comment that could potentially hurt you in the future. Think about whether it might defame a specific view or lifestyle. Also, determine whether your words will actually contribute to the conversation or whether they will only create more noise.

Also, it’s always good to self-reflect and review your older media posts. It’s recommended to delete inactive accounts, provocative or controversial topics and discussions, and anything that might make you look overly cynical or mean. You have a larger audience than you think, so it’s quite easy to overshare and sacrifice your privacy. And just remember, if you ever end up posting something extremely cringe-worthy, there’s a big chance the members of the Aged Like Milk group will pick it up and will make sure to share it with the whole community.

How To Choose A Local SEO Company For Your Online Business?
February 8, 2022
Whenever you work for your business, you are always the best. But on the other hand, when your competitor gets the spoken advantage, it becomes very frustrating, and sometimes you want to change it.
This is why choosing the best search engine optimization company is the reliable option to make your business reach global heights. But sometimes, it’s very tough to select a good and local SEO company such as the SEO agency West Palm beach for your business and take care of it. Here are some of the facts to consider, such as:
Your Guide To Choosing The Ideal Local SEO Company
- Proper Google Search:
One should always make a proper Google search before choosing the right Search Engine Optimization company like SEO agency West Palm beach. If the rankings are better, you can adequately judge the company with its past experiences and the customers’ ratings.
Ensure that you know about the company’s records with some proven examples and the agency’s performance.
- Expertise in Industry:
If you are looking for something specific, you will want your agency to look for that specific purpose. Suppose you are a medium restaurant; you can choose an agency for the particular restaurant.
Sometimes, you can give them accurate data of your business like case studies, analyzed performance reviews, and reports. Get proper strategy and review processes to ensure you get the appropriate guidance always.
- Good Transparency:
You should always be careful with the agency’s biodata and ensure that they are always transparent in their work. Your business and the agency must have a mutual understanding.
It is very tough to look for a company that values transparency and is totally transparent in digital marketing. Still, it is always the key to a successful relationship, and your business should be aware of it.
- Understanding of Keyword Research:
You should make sure that the agency can understand your keyword research because keyword research is the most important for your business and writing content.
The client sets a proper keyword optimization, and you have to ensure that the agency uses the proper keyword allotted to your business. Understanding the keyword and finding out about it thoroughly is the agency’s main focus, and you have to make sure that they do their work correctly.
- Relevant Experience:
Your business is important, so you have to ensure that the agency you are choosing should have appropriately experienced staff. You can choose the best-experienced staff from the persons working there. They should be able to manage your account correctly.
But sometimes, you can be uncomfortable because, in most of the agencies, interns and freelancers work, so you can have a proper conversation with them and make use of their experience individually.
- Fair Pricing:
You have to ensure that the agency follows a trend of fair pricing. For this, you can contact their past customers and discuss it. Each client has a specific price range, and you have to make sure that you choose the best service for the best keyword and the agency. It makes sure that the agency is appropriately giving service to your company and you are convinced of it.
Bottom Line
You should always make sure that you choose the proper agency and save your company from downfall. Always considering your company’s needs and values, you should select an adequate search engine optimization company, just like SEO agency West Palm beach.

To learn more about witty comments and how to improve our comedy skills, we spoke to Abigail Paul, a standup comedian, improviser, and actress with an irreverent and original comedy brain. Having performed improvisation, standup comedy, and theatre in venues all over Germany, the US, and the EU, she was kind enough to share her thoughts on why people leave comments in the first place.
“Today’s reader has the advantage over their predecessor that they feel part of the action,” she said. “In comedy, we are always looking to create content that an audience member will relate to, so when someone leaves a fantastic comment on an article or picture, it helps us feel connected, a little less alone.”
“It shows us that someone else, maybe many people, think the same way we do,” Abigail mentioned. “We take great comfort in not being alone on our ideas.”

The standup comedian revealed that the secret to a successful comment is probably equal parts true and surprising. An unexpected remark “that just has shock value isn’t as highly regarded as one that is embedded in truth.”
“In comedy terms, your picture or article you are commenting on is your setup. Your witty comment is the punchline,” she explained. “There are lots of ways to be funny, but a great punchline will usually have excellent use of wordplay, exaggeration, or make an analogy to something else so the reader can maybe see the topic in a new light.”

“The most important thing is usually an element of surprise. Good comedy writers use misdirect as well as a magician does. We think we see you going to one place and you go somewhere unexpected. Audiences love a twist,” Abigail said, providing true crime podcasts as an example.
According to her, leaving a comment and letting out a few chuckles helps us bond with others. “Comedy is the most fun thing humans can share (besides pizza),” she said. “The pandemic has forced a lot of comedy experiences online. It hurt live comedy a lot, but new spaces have thrived online because people need to connect and laugh. The upside is you can find ways to be funny at home in your PJs.”

If you want to improve at writing clever comments online, you need to practice. “Comedy is a skill,” Abigail told us. “The more you write, the better you usually get.” But it’s important “not to get too precious about your work. Notice which clever comments you are writing get lots of likes or replies, and see if you can dissect why that comment is working.”
“If something isn’t working, don’t worry too much about why. A lot of good writing is throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.” She advised you to focus on what works and try to replicate your own formula. “Also – edit. Are there any words you can take out, but the comment is still really funny? Then do. The more concise you are, the better it is for your reader.”
