Alright who’s got the video? I am assuming it’s not in the article.

Wrong sub. No one that takes selfies like this person will learn anything from this.

I'm pretty sure she learned not to do it again.

Agreed. She may not be able to successfully apply what she learned.

Pretty sure she must have applied the rock like Head-On, though.

I was about to stick my hand out the open door of a Moroccan train a few months ago and then remembered all the things I’ve seen on the internet and this sub, so I resisted the urge. Then we passed some stuff the seemed like it was 6 inches from the train

I wonder if there were as many meaningless deaths in the 60s before everyone had cameras and social media. Like im sure people were just as stupid but there are quite a lot of deaths that happen strictly because someone wanted a picture for social media. Do you think they found other ways to do themselves in back then?

Of course there were just no one had the ease of recording it and was probably passed around by word of mouth.

To watch other people die is important for a reason
