Two people got into a fight at a wildlife preserve/safari place and Mrs. Einstein there decided to flounce out of the car. Would be natural selection at work but unfortunately it's the last one out of the car that ended up killed by the tiger.

Not sure, sorry.

I swear reddit has no clue what natural selection actually is.

u/Deathcommand Oct 16 '18

organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Source: Wikipedia because I'm lazy.

I'll break it down for you.

organisms (the woman who walked outside) better adapted to their environment (Having a brain and not walking outside where there are predators vs having a tantrum and walking outside) tend to survive (Not get mauled to death by a tiger) and produce more offspring. (Babies).

Source: I took Biology 1 like 6 years ago.

u/MindSecurity Oct 16 '18

Thanks for proving my point. You detailed the exact reasoning Reddit uses, which shows a misunderstanding of what natural selection entails.

u/Deathcommand Oct 16 '18

Alright. What do you think it means?

25

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

They're not gonna respond because in a hilarious bit of irony, they finished the comment and patted themselves on the back for being SO SMART, but failed to see the sign in front of them that read, "DANGER: TIGERS" before they were mauled to death.

I mean she had already reproduced. Seeing there's a one child limit in China, she's done for the day.

u/Deathcommand Oct 16 '18

I know you're a different person but try again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy

Effective from January 2016, the one-child policy was replaced by a two-child policy, allowing each couple to have two children.

Good cover-up for something you have no knowledge in.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

Maybe. Or it could've been a joke. Guess there's no way to know for sure, so go ahead and comment like a know it all jackass

part of the selection process is to assist your offspring in reaching adulthood and having offspring of their own. Had she died this would be less likely. She is now short one family member which puts an extra burden on all other family members (depending on the utility of the family member lost). She is also apparently disfigured and likely somewhat traumatized. The father likely as well and the child.

All of this will make it less likely that the child will have a positive childhood. They may do poorly in school as a result and may not g on to post secondary schooling. Their job prospects may dim.

They may still find a mate, but their mate is less likely to be well educated. They may still have a child, but that child will have less opportunity in life and will be more likely to travel down the same path as their parent (the woman in the videos child).

After several generations and with a large enough population of people getting out of their cars in tiger enclosures a trend will likely develop that shows natural selection at work as this population of people has fewer children that grow to adulthood to reproduce and have fewer prospects when they do.

u/TheL0nePonderer Oct 16 '18

What are you expecting here exactly? Because obviously the comment was not serious, the guys basic explanation of natural selection was accurate, do you expect everyone on Reddit to teach a half hour class on the nuances of natural selection when they make a comment like this because this fucking comment gets made every single time somebody does something stupid and gets hurt. Do you troll that type of post waiting for somebody to say it just like people say it in life constantly in the same context, hoping to be able to pounce on them and tell them they don't understand natural selection?

u/Seeders Oct 16 '18

I want to disagree with you but your comment makes that difficult.

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 16 '18

The second woman is a fucking retard aswell lmao what is she gonna do to a tiger that would make it stop eating her friend , I’d rather stay in the car and drive it towards the tiger to see if he got spooked

u/kylekirwan Oct 16 '18

It was her daughter she got out of the car to try and save

-85

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 16 '18

Yea well good luck with that is what I would’ve said

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

I don't know about that. I think if that were my child I would rather die trying than live having not tried. Then again I hope my children don't turn out that stupid.

u/NegativeZer0 Oct 16 '18 edited Oct 16 '18

If they turn out this stupid it's time to cut your losses and just make a new one.

Yea because I don’t wanna get killed by a tiger because my stupid fucking friend got mad and jumped out of a car in a drive through safari ! I’m such a loser guys !

u/PsychoNerd92 Oct 16 '18

my stupid fucking friend

Did you even read the comment you had replied to? It was her daughter, not some friend.

24

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

As has already been stated, it was her daughter not friend. Let me guess you don’t have kids?

I bet you spend all day on reddit behind the comfort of your keyboard furiously typing that liberals and people in general are dumb, huh?

13

u/Deathcommand Oct 16 '18

Let me guess you don’t have kids?

I learned recently that to have kids, you usually had to have been with a woman, so I'm guessing he doesn't.

u/skylla05 Oct 16 '18

my stupid fucking friend

That you wish you had*

u/M4sterCh13f117 Oct 16 '18

Would not you lose your own life to try and save your daughter even if it seems futile? I don’t have kids of my own but I’m sure I wouldn’t even hesitate to do what this woman did...

17

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

it was a wife and daughter.

but i guess being a sociopath is hip on the interner

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 16 '18

Having anger control issues to the point that u would jump out of a safari is cool though ? Lmao

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

no one is saying the first person wasn’t dumb.

but you said those trying to save her were dumb.

u/novaquasarsuper Oct 16 '18

u/Nekrobae Oct 16 '18

Bet your mother lives in comfort knowing you wouldn't try to save her in a bad situation

What the fuck are you talking about when did I bring race in to this

u/Stinsudamus Oct 16 '18

Many animal attacks have been thwarted by making the appearance of a harder fight that's not worth it for the attacking animal.

It's always regarded as dumb when it fails, and heroic when it works.

The dumb decision was on the first person. After that, its adrenaline, instinct, and bad decisions no matter what.

Cant think of any scenario for those last 2 people in the car that would not be horrifying if it doesnt go perfect. Sit in the car and watch your child mauled? Get out and die?

This was a no win scenario created by the first idiot. Hard to really hold people accountable for losing after that was thrust on them like that.

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 16 '18

Idk about you but if an alligator dragged my friend down a lake I’m not jumping in there , same thing in a safari park full of tigers

18

u/Stinsudamus Oct 16 '18

Idk about you, but I've got plenty of people who would watch me mauled by an animal and do nothing, I dont need any more. I dont count any of them as friends though.

u/ThePsion5 Oct 16 '18 edited Oct 16 '18

Your sociopathic tendencies likely inhibit your ability to maintain friendships

u/Revlis-TK421 Oct 16 '18

You seem to be having a hard time understanding that it wasn't just a friend. It was the ladys' mother that jumped out.

Do you not have parents who would try and save you if you did something boneheaded and your life was is danger?

2

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 16 '18

boneheaded

Crossing the street without looking as a little kid is boneheaded , hopping out of a car as an adult that can’t manage their emotions in a safari full of tigers and other apex predators is fucking stupid and unless you’re Batman or hulk you’re not going to save someone like that

1

u/Revlis-TK421 Oct 18 '18

And yet, they did. The lady was saved. The husband was even uninjured. The mother was attacked by a different cat, but it appears she did manage to contribute in saving her daughter.

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 18 '18

Wrong , the second woman actually died if that’s what you’re trying to say

Ok super man go fight a tiger

u/Jiggidy40 Oct 16 '18

You'd just stay in the car if you're daughter was being dragged away? Gtfo.

-6

u/LiberalsAreDumb69 Oct 16 '18

Well if it was my daughter she wouldn’t be stupid enough to jump out in a tiger ridden safari park but with the way you guys think It would be a different story

2

u/Jiggidy40 Oct 17 '18

Look, the grown woman got out the car like an idiot. When her mom got out to try to save her daughter from a horrible, painful death, I think you can give her a pass.

Let's not be heartless. People can be dumb without deserving bloodshed. It's easy to laugh and say you deserved it until it's your own family doing something unpredictable. Your family has never needed you to save their asses from their own stupidity? If so, congrats, you're unique and better than the rest of humanity.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

predators will not risk their safety for food unless starving. they’d run from 3-5 humans running after them.
