If they did not die, then they were not seconds away from it.
You're always seconds away from death. Just take another breath to reset the clock.
It is best to approach all idioms literally
If you ride in a car on a highway you are seconds away. If you count your days and weeks and years in seconds, you are seconds away
Haha! Fooled you! I was already in the shower, with a chainsaw! So there!
Better title would have been:
Someone out there is reading this while taking a shit instead of working!

I already know of a couple occasions where I was close to dying. Once at 5 I split my head open and had to go to hospital for stitches, I had a tea towel held to my head to stem the flow of blood. The second time was three years ago when I was admitted to hospital because of a flare of Ulcerative Colitis (IBD, Crohn's disease is the other type) and I lost so much blood over the months I had the flare that I had to get a transfusion and iron infusion.
you can measure all time in seconds.....
I realized it all 24 times.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
