Why I lose hope that the human species will survive

You guys are acting like human stupidity is a new thing. It's not. History is replete with examples of it. What's new is stupid peoples ability to sue others for not adequately warning them of their stupidity.

Yes, this Superman costume does not enable the wearer to fly - that's common sense, unless you are an American, in that case you need a reminder...

And of course no court outside the US would ever even consider accepting a case of an idiot whining about their kid not being able to fly in said Superman costume.

Only in America...

But then I remember being confused back when I was in EOD and was reading a TO warning "do not eat or ingest high explosives"

Then we had an Airman in my unit eat high explosives.

And then came social media, and the stupid among us had to film and post themselves doing stupid things to get attention, Tide pods anyone.

Oh,damn they will die for clicks, I like it ,motorcycle wrecks,Wingsuits,high dives off of cliffs, driving down the autobahn as fast as you can go yea baby fast as they can go. Yes they are doing it for money and fame. And that's why we watch them until they kill themselves.It's not scripted tv or netflix.The only thing that urks me is they will not show their faces of death. Damn it you can see soldiers blown to bits by a drone. Why can't I see YouTubers mangled ass bodies ?

Well August,The colleges are turning out attorneys by the dozens. Everybody needs a job. And stupid people need an Attorney. It's Socialism 101 .There must be a Defender for the stupid. And they are available around the clock and with the ability to sue anybody and everybody for any reason.It brings money to these college kids bank accounts.
Look it's what they were promised.

When you flood the market with anything, it takes over until there's no need for it.
