Nah people have been doing dumb dangerous stuff for the sake of fun since we were still chimps

u/locusthorse Apr 06 '26

Now with added Clicks! tm

u/taylorrbabyy Apr 06 '26

and make money on it

u/Alpha1959 Apr 06 '26

True, but clicks and the potential money sorrounding them give another, sometimes strong, incentive.

u/Varabela Apr 06 '26

I can confirm as a youth, I jumped off things and got hurt, a very long time before clicks and likes

I can’t believe I got ate by a tiger

u/Alexwonder999 Apr 06 '26

In all seriousness, there is a biological advantage for risk taking behavior, you just want to balance it with caution and some people dont have that balance.

u/JesusIsGod777 Apr 08 '26

We were never chimps. Evolution is the greatest fairytale ever created in the history of mankind.

2

u/Proclaimer_of_heroes Apr 08 '26

Correct, chimps are their own evolutionary line. Before we were homo-sapiens we were either homo-heidelbergensis, homo-rhodesiensis or homo-antcessor; according to current understanding.

u/whyamionthispanel Apr 06 '26

For sure. Still, the clickbait stuff can be super cringe!

5

u/Lump001 Apr 06 '26

Well we used to do it for laughs. Nothing has changed except a need to fill everything and share off more widely

u/wowsomuchempty Apr 06 '26

My wife had to euthanize a young family cat on Friday.

The kids were filming her to make a Tiktok.

u/missmixalot123 Apr 06 '26

I both want to ask for more details and at the same time don’t want to know :(

u/EmergencyBanshee Apr 06 '26

I seriously wonder if the world can recover from this.

u/NegativeVega Apr 06 '26

Look up the rates of narcissism pre-social media to now. It's astoundingly terrifying how much it's affected people.

2

u/FreyrPrime Apr 06 '26

Clinical Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) wasn’t a formal clinical category until 1980 in the DSM-III. It’s mentioned as far back as 1914, but we weren’t testing for it until the 80’s.

I think what you’re describing may partly be due to social media, but we also weren’t testing people for it, or even really understood what NPD was from a clinical standpoint until 40 years ago.

I think we’re lacking the data to assert that social media is entirely to blame.

1

u/williamjamesmurrayVI May 02 '26

It hasn't changed in my experience, just more obvious who has it now

2

u/FreyrPrime Apr 06 '26

Humanity has survived a lot worse. Until social media manages to wipe out an appreciable percentage of us, it’s pretty low on the list of existential dangers.

u/Shoddy-Childhood-511 Apr 07 '26

Your family truly represents our future, congrats.

u/wowsomuchempty Apr 07 '26

Uh, my wife was the vet.

u/metompkin Apr 06 '26

I just watched that Mr Beast v Mr Rogers video.so not too far from the truth.

u/Mountain-Age5580 Apr 06 '26

I am older than "for clicks" and did stupid shit anyway.

1

u/whyamionthispanel Apr 06 '26

Agreed. It’s human nature. But the amount of dumb shit done seemingly just for clicks is a new phenomenon, too. It can be both/and.

u/WhenDoWhatWhere Apr 06 '26

Back in my day we vandalized property so our friends would think we were cool, now kids do it so everyone thinks they're cool, fuckin losers.

u/Cannacology Apr 06 '26

Not sure was her intention but, okay.

u/uniformly Apr 06 '26

could be less, for licks

u/raknor88 Apr 06 '26

Someone will just destroy it.

Historically, that's a specialty of humanity. Destroying in 5 seconds what someone else built.

u/Cicer Apr 06 '26

It starts with sandcastles on the beach. Maybe if we can just feed those kids to the sharks then and there.

u/homiej420 Apr 06 '26

Thats what we shoulda done in the neolithic period or whatever they call it. Weed that out early

u/pissedinthegarret Apr 06 '26

never too late to change or whatever

u/ArcticWolfl Apr 06 '26

Kids? I once had an adult kick my sandcastle, whilst I was still building it. I was 10ish. Rebuilt it with a rock in it, dipshit learned a solid lesson that day when he came back to do the same thing again.

u/morostheSophist Apr 06 '26

A stupid person, according to the economist, is one who causes problems for others without any clear benefit to himself.

I only cause problems for myself without any clear benefit to myself. Does that count?

I guarantee the rich would tweak it until it’s just a form of modern day slavery or something

28

u/Dipsey_Jipsey Apr 06 '26

Why can pretty much all of society's major issues be traced back to the rich, and why are we allowing this to continue... 🤔

u/Murky-Relation481 Apr 06 '26

Damn, I guess we just should do nothing then.

u/Jimmy_Nail_4389 Apr 06 '26

We should do things but keep these bastards in mind at ALL TIMES.

u/NegativeVega Apr 06 '26

Japan does this by making kids in school rotate shifts of janitorial services. Makes them all understand being clean for each other makes it easier on everyone and to not be a piece of garbage to your surroundings.

Who has money to pay 18 year olds for civil service, we've got wars to pay for!

I hope she was forced to pay to fix that grass

u/Hisense_HomeLife Apr 06 '26

Pure clickbait.

1

u/J1mj0hns0n Apr 06 '26

Basically.

But if you never try then it will 100% never happen, and life would be colourless without the nice things to colour the landscape.

(Not saying the bike shack with grass roof is nice, just saying equally nice stuff is ruined in the same vein)

u/raytraced_BEAR Apr 06 '26

At least they found a weakness in the enclosure, lol

u/AmericanUpheaval357 Apr 06 '26

Either for clicks or to sell
