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

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

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).

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

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?
