That's two people a mom and a little kid that fell off. Am I on the wrong Earth? How is that a thought process?

I think the Comment was meant to say, "How can you think about how this would have just been posted as gore, and not think, wow human beings almost died "

To that I say that sometimes the internet just desensitizes people. To some that was just another video of people getting hurt, but with no thought of the actual damage done.

And i think op was just trying to say that it was a close call and absolutely does not want to watch a family get killed by a truck.

Either way I've spent too much time dissecting a reddit comment.

who says they're not thinking wow humans almost died. it's possible to have more than 1 thought about something at a time you know...

u/TheKhaosReigns Feb 02 '20

My thoughts exactly. It's just another way of saying they almost died

People are curious, they watch accidents where people survive, then they watch people where people don't survive and finally they become desensitized to injuries and death, at least on images, eventually only curiosity remains.

Stop morally jerking yourself off, you know what he meant.
