Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

Cement is highly alkaline. If wet cement comes in contact with your skin, it can cause third degree chemical burns. So don't write your name in wet cement like Bart Simpson.

IDK if "third degree" chemical burns are a thing.

Cement will dissolve the fat from under your skin, and a third degree burn is when you cook the fat under your skin.

Also it's not going to burn you within a few minutes the way we normally think of a chemical burn.
