That is more or less what the guy in the croc group said

it happens when carrying capacity is reached. The human population is at 7 billion currently and the planet is struggling to cope with demand. That’s when Mother Nature intervenes to reduce numbers with measures such as disease, famine etc. Heck nothing wrong with adding Darwinism to the mix.
Then he added a picture...

Re: The 'Birdbox' challenge and the stupidity of some people

I remember a magician tried this with coins taped over his eyes.

He crashed.

How often have we heard, Don't try this at home?

The power of human stupidity should never be underestimated.

It's true. I cringe when I hear those words on TV 'Don't try this at home' but some people obviously need to be told.

You have reminded me that I haven't wasted large chunks of my life for a while reading the Darwin Awards.

Chats laterer. I may not be back for some little while.

Re: The 'Birdbox' challenge and the stupidity of some people

Over Christmas/New Year, my daughter’s were watching Birdbox on Netflix. I took glances at it and mostly saw Sandra Bullock and her two children blindfolded, all hanging onto a leash to keep together. Next, still blindfolded, they were in a boat and Sandra was rowing it.
All the people who they befriended and tried to help them seemed to get killed off.

I didn't think much of it tbh. I thought it was over-hyped Bullocks which is a shame because I normally like her films.

Seems you're now showing your ignorance of the constitution too!!! - Jeremy Corbyn is Leader of the Opposition, he's (not yet) a Cabinet Minister. Now go back to my original question and tell me which CABINET MINISTER you nominate to try driving blind. Shouldn't be hard, because they're all blind sitting in PParliament anyway.
