    What I love about Lemmy after all these years.. zero downvotes. Upvoted disagreement below. But no downvotes.

    I, in fact disagree, and acknowledge OP is being cautious, but I see what you mean obviously, bc you're a coherent intelligent human being, and so I don't downvote.

    Lemmy really is an "and" not "but" community. That's really telling. Yay Lemmy.

    Afraid or cautious? Isn't that how we learn to stay safe? We mostly learned with our own mistakes, but with the advent of the TV and internet, we got to learn from thousand of other people's misfortune.

    (e.g.) I learned not to use slippery shoes in the rain on the stairs from fail videos on YouTube. Am I afraid of the rain or the stairs?

    Totally depends on the behavior. Choosing not to drive behind a logging truck won't negatively impact you in any way. Not using a tanning bed is actually a positive. Not swimming near a pool drain also is unlikely to have a negative impact.
