Apparently the point is to stop traffic by laying down on the road and covering yourself by a sheet/duvet.

The next generation was a mistake and I'm not talking about the Star Trek movie.

Anything for clout.

natural selection?

natural selection?

it always finds new ways to choose whose more fit
unfortunately people just happen to be hedonistic and decide to just give up wasting thousands of years in the making.

We could get into some heavier stuff and ask questions about intelligence and fate though. It's not technically somebody's fault about what the limits to their intelligence are. We don't get to choose those barriers, although what we do can contribute to their creation. Was it really thousands of years in the making if they were possibly doomed from the start? I suppose so. That also doesn't touch onto the psychological effects of social media and phones. The connection is so strong that it overrides some people's survival instinct entirely.
