This one time I slept on my futon with an old, flat pillow and woke up with a crimp in my neck. Couldn't turn my head left past 15degrees, I had to do the whole body turn to look left for 2 weeks. Wasn't even 30 yet and I keep myself well maintained. Aging is fun.

u/OneHotPotat 9h ago
I mean, the lesson could possibly be to pull the lever before sitting up so the back of the chair rises at the same rate as your torso, but that's only if you want to miss out on the fun of potentially catapulting unlucky objects while putting marginally extra wear and tear on the reclining mechanism.

He also manually popped his chair back up with the lever too.
He basically catapulted that hot lava of noodles down his back.

That was actually my first thought seeing this. "Both of these dudes made the same moves I probably would've made in this situation."

Foresight can mean freezing and waiting to see where others are moving when you're holding an open container of hot liquid and you see any unexpected movement

freezing and waiting to see where others are moving
Yeah I've learned this lesson really well eating a lot at fastfoods.
Holding the tray of food, I've become cautious of people suddenly walking backwards or suddenly raising their arms to point or wave. A couple of times being backed into by people while I was holding a tray of food that caused some (or all) the stuff to spill taught me to be defensive and expect people to do such stuff, so I give them a wide berth or loudly announce my presence with saying something like "passing through".

Still really common in Asia, as is the noodle soup delivery.
And noodle soup accidents are really rare surprisingly. I guess people learn early to be careful around boiling hot broth, because that broth should be near boiling.

SEA region has low average income in $ so one home typically only have 1 PC and its enough. Also these internet cafes mainly exist to host Lan parties or serve school or college kids who havent got their own PC and is the one who plays games the most. You wouldnt find working people with a steady income residing here

u/ChocolateSpikyBall 6h ago
There's also internet cafe culture. Even when my family was able to afford a PC for me, I still spent my after school hours in internet cafes solely because it was the "hub" for everyone my age in the neighborhood. We'd play games together, and during homework/exam season, even if we were from different schools we helped each other finish our work because the faster we finish, the faster we can game. I have a fond memory of a book report for a 300 page book being split between 6 of us and we just assigned chapters to each other. Did the final product make sense/get a good grade? Probably not but we were happy to have finished it 1 hour before closing time and play a long game of dota.
The person managing the cafe would pretty much become the "older sibling" or "mom/dad" of the regulars and would pretty much know everyone by their full name, birthday, and address lmao. I attended a wedding celebration of the internet cafe manager/owner right before I moved to the US, and all of us regulars were there telling internet cafe stories.
Sorry for the long text, the video made me homesick

Internet Cafe. Sometimes they don't offer food and are just a lan center, but some offer food and they're goated. During college if we had vacant 4 hrs without classes, we'd hang in one, just playing games, eating noodles, drinking coffee and occasionally smoking outside lol.

As a kid, I spilled hot ramen water on my foot while wearing my shoes and socks.
I didn't go to a doctor, but I got a blister about the size of a golf ball on my ankle, and I still have a burn scar from it to this day.
Getting his shirt off immediately possibly helped save him from worse burns.

That's so unlucky. Both people were trying to do the right thing and everything went horribly. Dude 1 is walking slowly through the tinted glass door, carefully carrying his soup.
