You are about to depart on a vacation when someone in your group suddenly freaks out and claims to have saw a vision of the vehicle crashing/exploding and everyone dying, would you believe them? (sh.itjust.works)

Potential Movie Spoilers (Its kinda the core plot tho)

Yes this is obviously in reference to Final Destination Movie/media-franchise

By vehicle I mean like anything. Bus, Train, Boat, Submarine (like the Titan lol), Plane, anything you would plausibly travel on in your lifetime.

I don't put stock in the paranormal/ supernatural, but I've seen every one of those movies, and I know that if you try to get out of the situation, you'll end up in an even worse Rube Goldberg machine of death.

"Rusted. Tetanus. Nice one. I overlooked it. You tried to capitalize. But I caught you."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Which was wrong. Tetanus is not caused by rust. It's caused by punctures. You can get tetanus from a perfectly metallic silver nail. Rust just provides handy nooks and crannies for the tetanus microbe to sit and wait. If I remember right, it was a fishing hook on an unused pole in an otherwise clean house/ closet. Unlikely it would have tetanus lingering.

You're right about tetanus not being caused by rust. But it's not caused by sheer punctures, it is a serious disease of the nervous system caused by a toxin-producing bacterium called Clostridium tetani. It can often be found in soil, but yes, if you leave a perfectly clean silver nail in that soil (which is infected by the bacterium), then yes, you can get infected.
