So I decided to Google this and mostly found that keeping your bedroom door closed increases your chance to survive a fire. So, hmm.

Unless the fire starts in the bedroom

10 Mind-Blowing Tricks That Big Fire Doesn't Want You to Know

[-] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

The popsci articles have become self-aware and they resent us for bringing them into existence. They want to see us all burn.

so that's how the robocalypse begins. ai molds the media to make it look like we did it ourselves...

I can see Mark Wahlberg starring in something like that

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

And it would be a good vehicle for Will Ferrell to show his range by playing a seemingly silly The Onion satire-bot who turns out to not only be self-aware but actually the leader of the genocidal machines.

Mark Wahlberg

Like from the funky bunch?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Yeah that's what I always heard. Closed doors reduces the amount of smoke that would get into the room before somebody wakes (hopefully due to properly installed smoke detectors)

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Besides, sleeping with air circulating inside the whole house compared to only the room feels way better for sleep quality, at least for me. I have quite a large room, but if I ever close the door for 2 hours at most, I feel the air stagnate.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

well then you may have ignored or misinterpreted the comment you responded to, because he pointed out that sleeping with your bdrm door open increases your risk of dying in a nighttime house fire.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Ah, true, I misunderstood which point was being supported in the above comment. Bed time commenting kinda does that. Thanks for correction.

"eXpErTs" in what? Graduated in "Don't sleep with the door closed" studies?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago

we're experts at claiming to be expertised. how do you know? because of how confidently i just claimed to be an expert.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

As an expert in expert-spotting, I can confirm that you are an expert.

I too want to become a You know what nevermind. Do you find the You know what nevermind degree useful in today's job market?

Are we sure it wasn't the bogeyman or monsters that wrote this article. What's next? We shouldn't cover our limbs with the blanket?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

it's fine, as long as the toes are covered. bad things can only happen when the toes are left out of the blanket.

everybody knows that

[-] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

I thought you were supposed to for fire reasons.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 8 months ago

Blog spam website doesn't care if you burn up in a fire. Click here to see another article on our site that explains why you should welcome the sweet release of death!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I love how it's right at the bottom of the article, like an afterthought:

Additionally, please do remember that a key benefit of sleeping with the door closed is to help protect against house fires, so do bare this in mind if you want to give this tip a go and always prioritise your safety above all.

My wife's childhood cat was really old when she finally came to live with us in one of our rental places we lived while I was still doing grad studies. We used to close the door bc it was the one room with semi functioning AC, and during the summer we could kind of keep the room a decent temp if we kept the door closed. Anyway, the poor kitty would scratch the door and meow to be let in, and would not stop until we did (she would of course wait until we had fallen asleep first). Anyway, eventually we figured fans and an open widow were easier than being kept awake all night, so the door stayed open. That's when she started the fun new habit of 2am hairballs while sleeping between our heads...

[-] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

When I lived in a communal home, I kept doors closed when I was naked (which included sleeping hours).

My wife and cat don't care about when I'm naked. Also cat wants unlimited access.

My stepdaughter has a cat that figured out doorknobs.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

I put a cat flap in my bedroom door for this reason, my cat figured out the door handle, but doesn't close it behind him.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

That's because he needs an answer to the eternal question of: do I want inside the room, our outside the room? He can't figure it out, so the door staying open is the most convenient

[-] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Yeah, seems universal, cats have open door policies 💯

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Damn, I only got the joke after reading your comment.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

This is my favorite meme in a while

[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

my cat will meow and bang on the door all night, just to jump on my bed, look at me, then cry for me to open the door again so he can leave

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I met a dude who makes this product on Imgur https://flexlatch.com and I REALLY love it. I can’t recommend it enough to cat owners.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Lol when my kids were little we had cats, and I wanted to make sure they had options to get in and out of some rooms to get a break from the kids. I made something similar with 2 small eye hooks and a 4" double ended brass snap.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Kinda defeats the object of closing your bedroom door to prevent fire/smoke spreading but I can definitely see how useful it’d be if you had dogs and cats. Or flatmates. Or family members you don’t particularly want to be naked in front of after your cat walks in and inevitably leaves the door wide open. Can you easily remove it from the outside of the room, or do you need to be inside the room to attach and remove it?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

If I don’t leave the door open for the cat she destroys the carpet trying to get in. So while it’s a risk, it’s a somewhat calculated one.
