I believe it’s fair to say every generation feels they were better or other. While each generation also believe past generations are out of touch or stuck in the past. Depending upon where you grew up people did some really stupid shit.
- Chicken: There’s probably no one here that doesn’t recall some stupid fool playing chicken with some dangerous vehicle or machinery.
- Rail: In 2021 people continue to walk on the tracks all the while using headphones. The same imbeciles always try to outrun the train and get past the barrier as they truly feel that 5 minutes is going to end the world for them.
- Winter: Every year adults & children fall through the ice on lakes, rivers, pounds, and man made retention pounds. There are hundreds of people every winter licking / kissing a metal pole to see what happens and get stuck only to panic and rip their tongue off or lips.
- Yellow Snow: I’m not sure what caused such a stupid thing to come up. But I gather this is just part of hazing and trying to feel accepted in a group. So people will literally eat the yellow snow to prove / show off?!?
- Sun Gazing: There was a period where this insane trend would appear. This was often during the eclipse and people were too stupid to use PPE and didn’t stop looking at the sun when the event ended.
- Drinking: People have been getting smashed for eons. You can still buy beer hats and drink your fill. Several years ago the level of stupid was so insane people were pushing up plastic hoses up their ass and pouring alcohol inside.
Fireworks: One only needs to watch YouTube of people from every generation and age group literally playing with fire and explosives. Google the imbeciles that stuck a firework up his ass and blew off his ass cheek!
There are two things man has ever done consistently throughout time. Taking and killing and in between that - doing stupid shit.
Nothing new here, besides the ability to show case one’s stupidity for all to see on a global level not available before.
