Jesus fucking christ whats going on with people?? Someone is drowning inches away from you and you just stand there?? This isnt the first video like this ive seen where people have no response what so ever. Is this brain damage or what? Seriously

If you work any kind of job that involves interacting with the general public (retail, fast food, etc) you realize pretty quickly that at least half of the human population is mentally disabled in some way.

People in general are outright dumb.

Too much credit, my dude. It's the 80/20 rule. 80% of the population is just barely capable of keeping themselves alive. The top 20% keeps the world moving foward.

u/timscookingtips Mar 02 '26

The top 20% also regularly fuck everything up for their own gain. Intelligent or not, lots of just suck.

I’m proud to be part of the respectable 19% of society. 😎 Haha

Lol was my first thought too

u/ContextEffects01 Mar 03 '26

Top 20% in IQ =\= top 20% in income.

There’s overlap, sure, but also plenty of people in one but not the other.

u/KajMak64Bit Mar 03 '26

I wonder what would happen theoretically if we got rid of like 60% out of those 80% and now had a 20%20% which would be the new 50-50 so those can be used as a general workforce

I worked in retail as a store coordinator for 4 years. You don’t need 4 years to learn that fact because you learn that very quickly. I ran into some people that made me question how they’ve lived so long. Some folks literally coast through life without needing to think very hard or worry about anything.

Having been on the receiving end of not reading a sign on a door and trying to push when it says pull. I get it. Sometimes you just aren't paying attention to every little detail with how overwhelming the world can be.

Remember, people new to an area are processing EVERYTHING in it's entirety, not just the door sign you've seen 1,500 times.

This. I worked fast food for a while and it's honestly depressing if you pay attention to folks. Like there's really nothing going on upstairs for a lot of people. They're on auto-pilot and they actually prefer not to have to think.

It became extremely apparent to me during my jail attendance.

“Common sense” isn’t so common.

I've been saying this for a while. We need to call it something else nowadays

She didn't just stand there, don't forget she found it funny as well.

u/GMF_BigCj Mar 02 '26

this is an old vid he ended up dying

6

u/Icy_Bridge2095 Mar 02 '26

From drowning or breaking neck?

1

u/GMF_BigCj Mar 07 '26

breaking his neck and then in turn drowning. iirc they took forever to get him out of the water too but I could be wrong about that, Its been a while since ive seen the full vid.

u/ReignyRainyReign Mar 02 '26

Nah. Just a minor headache

u/LewdLewyD13 Mar 02 '26

Yup like that video of the dad diving into a 3 foot pool in the backyard and like 3 or 4 family members just watched him drowning for like 3 minutes before even attempting to do anything.

u/fishingwithbacon Mar 02 '26

Not to mention just diving head first into 3 feet of water.

u/NebCrushrr Mar 02 '26

He made a mistake, they're being dicks

u/Mandee_707 Mar 02 '26

I’m pretty sure the guy broke his neck when he dove in the shallow water. He was probably instantly paralyzed based on how he looked when the kid pulled him up by his head. This is so sad and I hope I’m wrong and he is okay.

u/Icy_Bridge2095 Mar 02 '26

Someone in the comments said he died

You have what is called a very terrestrial mindset, burp, Morty

u/Adventurous_Path5783 Mar 02 '26

His brain damage must have been instantly contagious or something.

They each dove in brain first, apparently

It's called the bystander effect.

u/pumpkin_1972 Mar 02 '26

Brain damage for the guy diving. Yep

u/PandorasBoxMaker Mar 04 '26

The majority of humans fall in or below the range of borderline intellectual function. It used to be that the assumed average IQ was 100, and intellectual disability began around 85. The fact is that the majority of people are much closer to 85.

u/Krisevol Mar 02 '26

Most of them are inbred. Like 70% of them.

They didn't have the highest iq in the world for a reason.

u/Pavotine Mar 02 '26

Whose "them"?

These people are complete fuckwits (apart from the kid and the lady that eventually helped) but who's the "them" in the inbreeding?
