Maybe adding some Cloudflare service or similar would benefit Lemmy. I think Kbin has it but that is moot as long as other instances don't.

YSK Defibrillators doesn't restart a stopped heart in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

True true. I think I see it like this good old xkcd.

YSK There are many different types of fire extinguishers in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Especially since a grease fire is very hard to put out unless you smother it. Using an extinguisher on a grease fire is not a good idea.

YSK Defibrillators doesn't restart a stopped heart (lemmy.world)
 

Why YSK: TV has lied to you. If a cardiac arrest happens and you have an AED defibrillator at hand you might still need to do chest compressions.

  1. When you open up the AED there will be instructions on how to apply the electrodes as well as any other procedure needed to get started.
  2. The machine will first analyze the heart's rhythm to find out if a shock can restore the heart.
  3. If the machine doesn't find anything it will instruct you to perform CPR. After a while it will then instruct you to stand by as it does another analysis.
  4. It will once again either deliver a shock or instruct you to go back to CPR. Do this routine indefinitely until medical services has arrived. You will be tired. Switch out with another person if there are other people who can help.
  5. Some AED's are automatic and will warn you to stand back and deliver a shock. Others will need you to press a button to deliver the shock yourself. Make sure not to touch the person as the machine delivers the shock.

The real YSK is of course in the comment. =) Thank you for expanding on this. It's always important to make sure you are prepared. You don't have time to google these things when the disaster is at hand. If you're not prepared when a fire breaks out you might panic and make dumb decisions. This goes for all stressful situations of course. Make sure you have some plan for common emergencies. That goes for medical emergencies as well as fires.

Why YSK:

If you're planning to get an extinguisher for your home you need to know that not all extinguishers can put out all types of fire. There are many intricate details if you're interested but for the most part, a dry powder extinguisher can put out many types of fires at the cost of being incredibly messy. On the other hand, a carbon dioxide extinguisher is perfect for electronic fires and doesn't require much clean up. Make sure to get an extinguisher for your needs. Maybe consider getting multiple extinguishers.

As an addendum: If you use a fire extinguisher even just a little you need to either discard it or refill it depending on type. Never put the extinguisher back as is.

I've tried specifying a language but it refuses to post. Just infinite loading. What could that be about?

Seems like the cat squished itself...

What‘s keeping us from promoting Lemmy on Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] yaphy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same thing for me. But I mostly lurk on reddit. I'd like to make an effort to post here though!

I really want to like Lemmy in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Other people have said the important parts. I'm not sure if you were on reddit for long. But if you think back to the early days of reddit it was not as stable as you might think now. The site was constantly down and there were many bugs. The user interface was still in development. Lemmy could be a diamond in the rough. Give it some sharpening and it will be a good place. I guess it's up to the users.

Forget growth, lets enjoy what we have in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I guess it depends on what you're here for. I'm not really looking for friends as much as insightful comments from people of similar interests. Quality posts need a certain amount of people to show up. Like the guy spending months and years making the perfect photo of the moon. Would that happen in a forum with ten people? I don't think so. Not to say that quality content wont happen here. It's all up to each and every one of us in the end, and people seem to leave longer comments of better quality and substance. Lets do our best and see where it goes!

Subreddit refugees be like... in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Yeah, I feel this. I wont make communities since I'm not the moderator type. But I will make an effort to post which in my case is a step up since I mostly lurk.
