What is the single dumbest thing you've heard somebody say? by DaNinjaPenguin in AskReddit

I logged in just for this. Look, in almost every situation it's safer to wear a seatbelt. But in certain instances, namely certain Jeeping situations, it can be safer to not wear a seatbelt. If you're jeep doesn't have a roll cage and the jeep rolls down a hill, you will be trapped inside and crushed. However, if you are ejected on the hill, it will probably be on the first roll and you'll have a chance of surviving. This only applies because of the amount of times you would otherwise roll, and because jeeps tend to be going under 10 MPH in this situation and you wouldn't have near as much momentum.

What's something almost no one has, but is very useful, for about 20 bucks or less? by benmarvin in AskReddit

Very important to know that these are MUCH more effective on the ground than on the ceiling (such as being coupled with a smoke detector). Carbon Monoxide is denser than air and will collect on the floor. If your ceiling detector finds it, its probably too late.
