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.
Yeah, use a stick, not your fingers.
Is tongue okay?
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.
The "degree" is based on the amount of damage done to flesh, bone, and skin. Each type of burn has different criteria, so yes, a third degree chemical burn will be different from a third degree flame burn, which will in turn be different than a third degree steam burn.
Bullshit.
If you have a coherent rebuttal, I'm happy to listen. If not, Johns Hopkins has a good page on the subject.
I had a quick look at this which basically says that you're right and I'm wrong.
Additionally, it lists sunburn as an example of a radiation burn, which is kinda neat.
How about this - your position is that a chemical burn from concrete cannot reach third degree? That it doesn't happen fast enough to cause that damage?
Let me use your vernacular.
Bullshit. (Warning: NSFW)
That's not what I said at all.
