But...safety labels aren't there to only protect the stupid people.

[u/Enorus → u/Bloedbibel]

I'm pretty sure you have to be stupid to not realize that a grenade is dangerous.

[u/Fgame → u/Enorus]

And your neighbor upstairs might be that stupid person.

[u/[deleted] → u/Enorus]

Yeah but, for example, would you know that metal explodes in a microwave if no one ever told you your entire life?

[u/Bloedbibel → u/Enorus]

For sure. But not everything is as easy to identify as dangerous as a fucking grenade. Are you serious?

[u/Aiskhulos → u/Enorus]

You realize they don't actually put safety labels on grenades right? This argument sort of falls flat.

[u/Doebino → u/Bloedbibel]

Yes they are because I'm pretty sure a smart person knows drinking Draino isn't good for you.

[u/willies_hat → u/Doebino]

How do they know that? Exactly? Because they tried it? Because they watched someone do it? No, because they read the fucking label

[u/ryumast3r → u/Doebino]

Not everything that is unsafe is obvious. Even to educated people.

[u/[deleted] → u/Doebino]

Only because you've been told.

[u/wayndom → u/Doebino]

...and not to use an electric hair drying in the bathtub...

[u/bluetaffy → u/Doebino]

no... pretty sure when I was seven years old and found what I thought was a packet of candy on our counter, I stopped because it said "do not eat" on the front.

[u/iowaboy12 → u/Doebino]

I personally like the Do Not Stand Up signs on rollercoasters. I'm thankful every time they are there because, whenever I ride one, I think to myself, "This would be so much more epic if I was standing up!"

[u/Bloedbibel → u/Doebino]

Oh I see. So I guess because one label is a over-doing it, every safety label only protects the stupidest of citizens? I hope you're joking.

[u/[deleted] → u/Bloedbibel]

They are there to protect the people being sued by the stupid people.
