So at work someone just brought up the Tide Pod thing as proof that kids these days are dumb and I pointed out the fact that the fad in the 1920′s was to swallow whole live goldfish (look it up, my grandparents told me about it years ago, it was a Thing.)
And of course some kids choked to death on live goldfish.
He didn’t believe me until he looked it up on his phone. And then he was just quiet for a minute and said “Ok maybe people have just always done dumb shit” and the glow of victory is going to carry me until lunch.
I admire the patience. I’d get really salty or silent
The look of dawning realization when they figure out that it just turns out that humans are dipshits, have always been dipshits, and will likely always be dipshits is Great I highly recommend using this bit of history to point this out to people.
does anyone not remember Planking in dangerous places in the early 2010s???
