re: Who else thought quicksand was a major problem when you were a kid?

For some reason growing up, I thought all of the below were normal occurrences.
Quick sand
Acid rain
Being buried alive

Fwiw I find that pretty believable. The skit is funny because people can relate.
Now, if I start talking about the time I was tight with the Russian Mafia on a college semester trip to Russia, I expect to be called out on it.

That reminds me of two short, but serious infatuation with blow guns I had. Once was as an early teen where we thought we could legitimately hunt with it - my older cousin killed a snake in the back yard, but we had to continuously go pick up the darts that missed near the snake in order to finally kill him. A stick would have been quicker and easier. Wanted a blow gun for a while after that.
The second round of blow gun fever came in my early 20s. Got one as a gag gift and started shooting targets around the house. Eventually my roommate got one and we'd have competitions with friends when they'd come by.
it was dumb as hell and lasted about a month before the patching thr tiny holes in the sheet rock outweighed the enjoyment. Posted on 8/3/20 at 10:09 pm to LSUAlum2001
Quicksand
Bermuda Triangle
Killer Bees
I thought all 3 were going to be potential issues as an adult.
With the problems I have now I would probably welcome any of the 3.

YT Guy getting into quicksand
I have been stuck like this as a boy to my ankles or calves, and remember the panic I felt after watching this.
I also remember sitting back and breaking free. I lost my shoes though.

Not just quicksand but I remember when I was little, reading about spontaneous human combustion in ripleys and spent a whole weekend worried I might explode any second.

Used to look for it all over. Never found any but definitely knew the rules on how to get out of it.

Quicksand is pussy shite
Sinkholes are real life terrifying stuff. People have literally been swallowed up while sleeping in their house. What kinda bullshite is that?

A Florida man fell into a sinkhole that opened suddenly Thursday night beneath the bedroom of his suburban Tampa home, calling out to his brother for help as he fell, the brother said Friday.
"I ran toward my brother's bedroom because I heard my brother scream," Jeremy Bush told CNN's "AC360."
"Everything was gone. My brother's bed, my brother's dresser, my brother's TV. My brother was gone."
Bush frantically tried to rescue his brother, Jeff Bush, by standing in the hole and digging at the rubble with a shovel until police arrived and pulled him out, saying the floor was still collapsing.
"I couldn't get him out. I tried so hard. I tried everything I could," he said through tears. "I could swear I heard him calling out."

I also had a few late nights worrying about spontaneously combusting into flames.
A few things from movies that freaked me out, the venomous serpent thing in a tree trunk from The Flash Gordon movie. I Still hate sticking my hand anywhere I can’t see. The ball of water moccasins from Lonesome Dove. I thought about that every time I would fall off of a kneeboard or skis.
Finally, I don’t know the name of the movie but an assassin had set up long, sharp Needles in a pair of binoculars and they wound pop out and stab someone when the focus was adjusted. To this day, when I use any set of binoculars, I fool with the focus before putting them to my eyes.

It was amazing how we got actually warned about it during boy scouts in Georgia. I was legit terrified of any sand that looked mildly wet for years.
