People who are into sports know that everything can change in the blink of an eye. But unpredictability is a frequent guest in many other areas of life, too. The subreddits r/SecondsBeforeDisaster and r/MomentsBeforeDisaster have plenty of examples to prove it. These two online communities are full of pictures capturing that eerie point separating then and now, in situations that range from lighthearted interactions with animals to serious matters, such as ignoring safety regulations at work or even the start of a war. Scrolling through them feels like balancing on a doorstep between a warm, cozy home and a severe snowstorm.
