Netflix’s “Stranger Things” Taught A Florida Kid How To Save A Man’s Life
Austen MacMillan, a Florida kid from Palm Beach County, Florida saved a man’s life from something he learned from season one, episode eight of Stranger Things. The scene was when Hopper administered CPR to Will after they found him in an alternate dimension.
Austen and his behavioral therapist were hanging out in the pool at his parent’s house. The therapist, Jason Piquette, wanted to show Austen how long he could stay underwater. And that he did. Until he passed out. After awhile Austen realized something was wrong and pulled Jason from the water. He ran to the front of the house to yell for help but no one responded. He then ran back to the unconscious Jason and began to administer CPR. Just like Hopper did on Will.
The CPR the Florida kid learned from Stranger Things worked. Jason regained consciousness as Austen’s dad was coming home. The dad called 911. According to a facebook post, “Macmillan visually showed how he performed CPR on his therapist, and they reported that his technique was ‘exactly what is taught in CPR courses’.”
Who knew that Stranger Things could help a Florida kid save a life?
Here’s the scene we’re talking about. When they went to the Upside Down to rescue Will. SPOILERS if you haven’t seen any episodes of the show. (What are you waiting for?)
Redditors Roast Worst Baby Names They've Ever Encountered
Gridget
“When I was a kid I stayed at a bed & breakfast with family photos on the walls,” one user wrote. “There was a sister named Gridget. I actually think about this a lot.” It’s kind of like a spin on the name Bridget. This Redditor seems really stuck on the name they found.

Shanniel
This unique name caught this person off guard. They even tried to figure it out by mixing it with other names. “I once saw a baby announcement where the mom was named Shannon, the dad was Daniel, and they named the baby Shanniel,” they wrote.

Dyslexia
Sometimes people just go with the flow when picking a name for their kid. Maybe it felt right at the time, and they didn’t even realize it’s also the name of a condition. While working at a gas station, this Reddit user observed a mother who let her child run around wild. They wrote “One small girl was pushing on a display stand and the mother screamed: ‘DYSLEXIA GET YO A– OVER HERE!”

Donnaria
Back in school on the playground, this person probably had a rough time. This is particularly true because their name coincidentally rhymes with a sexually transmitted disease. Nevertheless, a user pointed out that it’s a clever fusion of two names. “Donnaria. A combination of her Mom’s name (Donna) and Grandma’s name (Gloria),” they wrote.
Alcoholic Beverages
Bacardi, Hennessy, Tanqueray, Alizé – the names keep coming. It turns out a Redditor, who happened to work in children and family services, encountered kids with names inspired by alcoholic beverages almost every day. “You don’t know how bad it really gets. Lots of kids named after alcoholic beverages.”
