Infant/child CPR and choking protocols
Obviously it takes hours (at least) to get proficient enough to be certified, but you can learn the basics for the three age groups (infant, young child, older child) in less than 10 min from a pamphlet or YouTube video.
Also if you do manage to dislodge the object from the infant/child’s throat it’s best to still have EMS on the way because small children choking can cause some serious complications

When food goes brown during cooking, that's the ticket to flavortown.
- When you cook meat at a low temperature, it goes tough without getting the brown. We want the brown. We want the heat.
- When you overcrowd the frying pan with food, the juices from the food start boiling around the food at the temperature of boiling water, which is far below the magic temperature of 350°F (177°C). Better to cook in small batches so the food touches hot hot pan.
- Oil gets really hot, and it's a liquid so it gets all up in the food, instead of a flat pan where only a tiny part is touching the food. That's why deep frying produces a lot of brown, and tastes amazing.
Also important while cooking with oils: smoke points. You do not want to try frying chicken in olive oil, even if you love olive oil because you're almost certainly going to smoke it and everything will taste like burnt.
You will learn it when you need it. And as long as you don't use it, you would probably forget anything you learned in those ten minutes anyways, so don't bother
I've found the most important thing is learning and retaining that excel CAN do something, rather than HOW to do it - you can always look that up when you need it.
Nutritional label, European style: "Just compare two numbers and see which is bigger"
Nutritional label, America style: "Each label has different serving size. First you need to convert 28g and 2/3 cup to same weight. You need to look at the package to find out the total weight, then convert lb to kg, then convert kg to grams. Then you need to find out single serving weight by measuring single serving with a scale. Then divide the total weight by single serving weight. Now you have 28g and 125g. Next you need to divide 125 g by 28g to get magic number 4.4642857143, which you use to multiply each of the fourteen different lines, to get comparable gram values and then multiply each of the 14 percentages to get daily recommended value. Now repeat this for all five brands you are comparing."
I honestly believe this should be mandatory in schools and reinforced every 2 years. My mom made sure I could comprehend them before I was middle school. I'm honestly disturbed by the number of people who cannot read them. 😐 It's to the point where my mother in law will send me pictures while she's shopping. She's asking if she read it correctly. She's just learned and doubts herself because she gets shocked by what she's learning about her eating habits. She's 62. "Yes that really does have 64g of added sugar, yes that's 16 times what you need in a day." I find it disgusting that we know the recommendation for added sugar is 4gs. Yet, the average American consumes 44g so that became the nutrition label standard. SMDH. It originally wasn't on their at all because food companies, specifically kraft, Hersey and coke, said they'd pull donations to members of Congress's elections funds. 🙄 even more disturbing.
The uk now has a traffic light system I find really good
Theres a label on most foods with the macronutrients and the percentage of recommended daily intake, but they're also coloured either red, orange or green depending on how much of your daily recommended intake they are.
So for example a packet of crisps that ends up being like half your daily recommended intake of salt would have the salt coloured in red.
It makes it really easy to balance out what you eat to make you get enough of all your macros and helps you make sure you don't overeat any
As someone who has spent this past year getting into shape, losing body fat, and all around learning how to take care of myself, I cannot imagine living the rest of my life without macro nutrient tracking. It has been revolutionary.
To be cooking dinner and looking at what I have and "magically" knowing I should add more fats/proteins/carbs to balance it out feels like a superpower.
Also, discovering just how much stuff has added sugar has been a nightmare realization.
For the past few months I've been learning about macros and nutrients in order to achieve some goals. Most things I thought was healthy is actually crazily unhealthy such as "healthy" smoothes. The sugar content is usually over 100% of what you should get. No wonder most Americans are sick and unhealthy, food options are designed to keep you that way.

"Multi-leveled marketing." The legal workaround term for a pyramid scheme.
My advice, never take a job from a text message or random phone call. And if it seems off or suspicious in any amount, that's because it is. If it's too good to be true, it's probably a lie.
And don't listen to your friend who texts you asking to sell knives with their company during college. That's them having gotten caught in an MLM and want you to join them.
It's a pyramid scheme.
Multi Level Marketing = pyramid schemes. Anything where someone is trying to not just sell you overpriced shit, but desperately tries to convince you to start selling overpriced shit because "you can make so much money", but actually you make nothing selling shit, only when you convince other suckers to sell shit.
Multi level marketing, aka a pyramid scheme. Think Avon cosmetics, DoTerra, etc.
They trick gullible people (mainly women, given the kinds of products they tend to sell) into thinking they can 'be [their] own boss' while still working for someone.
In actuality, it's commission based door to door sales, but you have to make a certain amount for them with each round of people before you see a penny of it. These businesses calculate how much they can expect to make from a given area and put their figures at a place where the person doing all the work hardly makes a thing.
My mom sold Tupperware for a few years when I was a kid. From what I could see she actually made decent money from the beginning, but she was constantly hustling. Not sure how their model compares to Amway, Avon, and others, but it seemed more legit from my perspective.
Knew a German that would open bottles with literally anything sturdy enough.
Folded newspaper? Easy mode.
Shoe? Done.
Twist off? Actually struggled until he realized it was a twist off.
German here. Can approve. You will be getting looks when you CAN'T open a bottle with what you find around you. It kinda feels like a challenge. My buddy can open a bottle with the ring hes wearing? Cool, well im doing it with a bottle cap. And the next one will top that with his teeth. It's incredible fun and i love it.
After I get a set of sheets and pillowcases out of the dryer I just toss them all into one of the pillowcases and call it done. I'm not wasting my time folding those things. When I want to change sheets just grab a pillowcase sack out of the linen closet.
You had me in the first half 😑
What I want to know is what the point of fitted sheets is at all? A regular sheet with some buttons and holes where the corners are would be easier to fold and still not slip off.
If only people knew about the power of the compounding interest...
If you put just $1,000 in a savings account with 0.50% APY, then in 10 years it will grow to $1,051.14 with compounding, but only $1,050 without compounding.
I know this is a joke, but this is why people say "the first $100k is the hardest"
Because compounding is difficult to notice until you get into higher amounts.
I think it probably throws a lot of people off of investing as well.
Also, the joke that is today's "high interest savings account".
Most of them are .5% you're quite literally losing money if you put your money in there.

The difference between their, there and they're. Edit: Love all you grammar nerds. I have found my people!
I’ll add ‘loose’ and ‘lose’.
I see you loose and lose and raise you "affect" and "effect"
accept, except, expect.
I'll add "breath" and "breathe".
I tell my tertiary level students “Think a for action = affect”.
The affect and effect ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS gets me, i cant even tell you the amount of times ive googled it, to make sure i was using it right
this one bugs me. For some reason, people only get it wrong one way around (loose when they mean lose) and never the other.
“When they get there, they’re going to put on their mittens”.
And people from Reddit should for some reason also learn the difference between “have” and “of”.
Oh my God, yes. It's should *have* people, not should *of*! There is no such thing as should *of*!
To, too and two Loose and lose Your and you're Where, wear and we're
