True but the sad fact they have to state 'Coffee may be hot' 'Don't drink the battery liguid' etc is the sad bit.

Blame the world of social media. Young people record themselves doing some really silly things that turn into 'crazes' and spreads across social media and all these young folk think they'll do it too either for fun or for clout.

The older generation were always more practical though. The internet while having its advantages, also contributes heavily to the fall of society/humanity etc etc

May contain nuts on a bag of peanuts.

The Safety Elf is responsible for a lot. People expect to be protected from their own stupidity, and to have no responsibility for their own actions. "It's always someone else's fault."

Thirty years ago we were in France and visited a walled town, where you could walk around the walls for a franc. One side of the walkway had the city wall and the other a drop of 30 feet or so into people's back gardens. There were no barriers to you doing that except your own common sense. Here in the UK we'd have had it railed off for the entire inner perimeter.

Technically, that's correct - although sounds completely nuts!

Peanuts are not nuts. They are legumes, and so more closely related to peas than nuts.
However, they are prepared in the same factory as nuts, so there's a risk that your pack of peanuts may contain traces of nut....

Its a nutty world.

But has the number of people drinking battery acid increased or decreased?
If it’s decreased then the label works.

I gave up drinking it when they started putting the labels on, so yes it does work.

The walls around Alcudia (Majorca) still have drops like that.
