Fesshole 🧻I tell people the burn scars up my forearms are from when I heroically put out a kitchen fire. The real reason I got them was from when I was a student; I was low on cooking oil and thought I could top up the hot oil in the chip pan with water. Stupid idiot.

FiXato@FiXato @fesshole growing up in the UK in the 70s/80s, watching TV, in between the adverts for cigarettes and hard liquor, they’d show Public Information Films.
Often dark and scary, but we sure grew up knowing how to put out a chip pan fire (never pour water on it!) and not to fly kites near electricity pylons etc.
Search for “uk pif” on YouTube, there were loads of them!
Misuse Case@finitebaffle @FiXato @fesshole In America we had those too, they were called Public Service Announcements (PSAs)
This is a famous one from when I was a kid.
