What Makes Young People Do These Things

Lately on the news there’s young people online putting Tide pods in their mouths as the Tide Pod Challenge. They put laundry detergents in their mouths and put the video on YouTube or Facebook. Seriously, how do kids come up with this stupid bulls~~~?!

I know kids are usually stupid, but this is beyond common sense. There was that cinnamon challenge, the ice water challenge, kids setting themselves on fire! God, these social media kids are beyond stupid, it just p~~~es me off! It’s like they need to be cool and famous on YouTube, but being famous online isn’t the same as being famous in Hollywood. Hollywood makes millions of dollars for being famous. Kids online get sick, or killed or jailed for the things they do to become famous or cool. Seriously, I just want to slap this f~~~ing Facebook generation!

There was a fentanyl abuse outbreak in a number of prominent metropolitan areas last year among adults.

Seeking validation in childhood, escape from accountability in adulthood.

We all suffer, but when suffering stems from regrets and lost opportunities, it stings forever.

A good number of attention-seekers in childhood end up regretting subsequent decisions that were cool in the moment.

The lust for fame.

Mental illness.

I cant understand it myself. I get why these pods should be kept away from small children, but now teenagers things this kind of thing is “cool” WTF??

As a product designer, I have always wondered why they made these things look like candy, especially after small children would try to eat them. But that didnt change the marketing. In fact it boosted it. But now moron social media moron kids have turned eating poison into a “challenge”

We are in a dark time in humanity. Its only going to get worse.

In the 50’s collage kid ate live gold fish.
Early 60’s they would see how many people they could fit in a phone booth.

But it was just for fun.

Now its about competeing for fame.

Narcisisim.
On the rise.

F~~~ ’em.

I rode my bicycle all the time when I was young. Much better use of one’s time.

Take the Ammonia CHALLENGE! Mix Ammonia and bleach in their mouths and swallow! That will get rid of all the really stupid ones!

Are these mainly adolescent boys? That would explain a lot.

Hold my Tide Pods and watch this!

I understand why detergent companies MAKE pods — forces the consumer to use a pre-metered amount of product for every load, whether the full “dose” is needed or not. But, I’m not sure why people buy them (outside of dumb teenagers who want to eat them). Is it really that hard to measure the detergent yourself?

Back in High school, there was a Coke and Pepsi machine side by side.
If you touched both coin returns at the same time, you would get a shock, similar to an electric fence.
There was actually a competition of who could “ride the lightning” the longest…

narcissism, it’s a huge generation now

I kind of hope they start the cinnamon challenge again. Very easy to choke on a tablespoon of dry spice. Maybe that will help thin out the numbers

One should be kind to young boys. They do dumb stuff but it is incredibly frustrating being an adolescent boy -in a perfect world you would like to go to war, fight a duel and win a beautiful woman but in reality you are not allowed to so you will probably just do something juvenile and dumb because you are just a spotty kid and the world today has no legitimate outlet for testosterone.

Its probably no dumber in its own way than the kids who liked to smash up asbestos in skips when we were young. I seem to recall blowing up a lot of stuff myself when I was a boy. These days the world is sadly even tamer than it was when we were kids, so they have to do less interesting dumb stuff.

A woman is like fire -fun to play with, can warm you through and cook your food, needs constant feeding, can burn you and consume all you own

I proppose ….. a very stupid ( and deadly ) challenge… the NUTMEG challenge !.

Just take two whole NUTMEG nuts, swallow them and name the challenge two other people to do just that….

If these stupid kids start doing such challenge…. Oh Man! There is gonna be “Wholla lot grave digging going on…”

"We didn't start the fire. It was always burning. Since the world's been turning" "A world that vilifies men only breeds a generation of men that feel no empathy towards women" “In a woman’s mind , there is really no such thing as a ‘we’. In her eyes, earth allways revolves around her, not the other way around. So thinking that your needs , aspirations or desires are valid enough to be persued, or even that you are entitled achive such goals, is like asking your boss for a pay rise in your very first day at the job.”

When the SHTF in this country these young people will all become part of a mass extinction. I worry for my children, even with me trying to teach them life skills they just don’t grasp the concept that life can become very brutal, very quickly. I am a gun loving God fearing country boy and I will survive.
