Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

Ruby: You have GOT to see RoboCop, Penny! It's like my favorite film! It is SO GORY! like WAY gory than you'd expect! There's these government funded machines that just shoot innocent people! Like straight up gunning them down in the streets! But then it cuts to the government officials who approved it, and their just going on and on about how they're helping America, but then cuts back to the machines committing so many crimes! It's such a good satire of American hypocrisy! Oh, it's so GOOOOOOD, Penny! It's SO GOOD! What's YOUR favorite movie?!

Penny: ... um... I like... Muppets Treasure Island, Ruby...

Ruby: ...

Penny: ...

Ruby: ... I agree! That's such a GOOD movie! Tim Curry is GREAT as Long John Silver! He's such a joy to watch!

Penny: Oh. I didn't think you'd like this one as much since your favorite is so... R-rated.

Ruby: No, no, you need to judge movies based on what they're trying to do! One's trying to be cynical, the other's trying to be whimsical! And they both do a GREAT job! They're both VERY good!

Penny: Yeah! Yeah, that's a great way of looking at it!

Salem: WELL, MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS JURASSIC WORLD II!

Ruby: Oh, of course you'd pick a Chris Pratt film, you fucking normie!

You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!
