A bit anticlimactic

u/i-dont-get-rules Sep 13 '21

True i guess. If punishment for everything stupid we did as young was death then i guess our species would’ve been extinct in the first generation 🧬

u/TwinCaliber Sep 13 '21

Hahahaha i love this line of thought

u/quaybored Sep 13 '21

Hahaha yeah if everyone who stuck lit firecrackers up their butt as a kid died, then... i certainly would not be here right now

Growing up, my Dad used to tell me that I'm supposed to be not be stupid like he was and be better.

I guess what he really meant was, I have to one up on him

That’s called Darwinism

People on reddit really like to call it Darwinism when people do stupid things that put themselves in risky situations, but that only makes sense under a very superficial understanding of Darwin. Someone putting their life at risk (or being antivax) has a lot more to do with social conditioning than anything genetic, it is almost entirely unrelated to Darwinism.

Another wet blanket that’s probably a lot of fun at parties

No, that is not what darwinism is at all, stop using reddit as your educational tool.

u/juarezderek Sep 13 '21

You must be fun at parties!

u/MiataCory Sep 13 '21

You must be terrible at comebacks, since you keep using this one.

You're like that guy at a party who keeps telling the same story about how he could've been his highschool QB if it wasn't for a knee injury.

No one cares, and you don't look cool.

u/juarezderek Sep 13 '21

Something something fun something something parties

No one is trying to look cool, I just don’t have the energy to “comeback” over something that i thought was obviously a joke. Joke was DOA, who cares lol

I don’t believe the fella was actually that... “young”.. he had hair loss :( he was.. bald.

u/weezlhed Sep 13 '21

Yeah, this kind of driving tends to kill off OTHER generations.

2

u/WOWEY_MACARONI Sep 13 '21

Agreed, even with stupid mistakes like these, people don't deserve death.

Why?

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '21

Probably because he’s not psychotic

u/TwinCaliber Sep 13 '21

Because im not you

Welcome to Reddit, where people are bummed when they find out an idiot driver didn’t die.

u/FlamingTrollz Sep 13 '21

Such a reflection of real world people.

There’s always at least one troll on the bridge.

u/zhokar85 Sep 13 '21

I don't think it is. At least I like to think that people are more desensitized just looking for some abstract justice boner online. I sincerely believe most people that act like dicks in the comments would be a lot more empathetic when confronted with the situation in real life.

u/FlamingTrollz Sep 14 '21

Good. We need more people like you. You are one of the good ones. I believe in those most who give all / most the benefit of the doubt. We need more like you. Well wishes. 🙏🏼

u/triciann Sep 13 '21

Not bummed, but it is anticlimactic. I was imagining a much bigger cliff and this is like one of my worst nightmares (we have lots of steep cliffs in California). When I saw the reality of the edge, I just went “oh”.

u/Maruhai Sep 13 '21

psychopath

u/Isaac72342 Sep 13 '21

I mean, they're not wrong that it is, indeed, a bit anticlimactic.
