If war breaks out or a major blackout hits, follow these 7 strict rules to survive:

1. Never share food with your neighborsCompassion can kill your family.As soon as you hand over a pack of ramen, your neighbor is convinced you still have ten boxes of it at home.This is the fastest way to become looters’ number one target.

2. Never flush the toilet with your emergency water supplyDon’t pour water you stored for a water outage into the toilet.If the power outage shuts down the city’s sewage pumps, waste backs up in the pipes.The moment you pour water in, a bacterial hell begins in your toilet, with waste from thousands of households coming up.

3. Don’t hoard gold bars or 500-euro notesOn the battlefield, you can’t even trade a gold bar for a bottle of water because there’s no change.The strongest currency is bundles of 5-euro notes, lighters, and cigarettes.As soon as you pull out a gold bar, you become a walking ATM.

4. Never mix urine and fecesAs soon as the liquid (urine) comes into contact with the bacteria in feces, explosive decomposition and ammonia gas occur.Half of the war casualties didn’t die from bullets, but from cholera and dysentery caused by contaminated excrement.Pour the urine away and cover the feces only with sand to seal it off.

5. Don’t turn on lights or make noise at nightA single candle is clearly visible even from a kilometer away.Light means there are resources there.Close your blackout curtains and use only low-light red lamps. Only those who blend into the darkness survive.

6. If something smells rotten, turn around and run without looking backIf the mood around you turns, unusual groups are hanging around, and fear is rising, don’t hesitate.The normalization bias that says “Oh, it’ll be fine” kills people.Only the person who runs first reaches the safe hiding place alive.

7. Keep quiet and don’t form groupsDon’t tell anyone what you have or where you’re going.A panicked person is more dangerous than a predator.Smart people survive quietly, while the braggarts lose everything.

This is a little different. I think some tips are useful. Not so sure about others.
