Why am I the most boring, shit person ever.
You’re not shit, you can make art. You can take lines, colors, and a blank sheet and make something amazing out of it.

this argument is serious
Kids are burning each other with boiling water in a deadly “Hot water challenge” YouTube trend
- As seen in YouTube and Twitter videos, the
“hot water challenge” involves surprising a friend by burning them with
boiling water.
- Another variation includes challenging someone to drink
boiling hot water through a straw or pouring boiling water on
themselves.
- 8-year-old Ki’ari Pope’s cousin dared her to sip boiling water
through a straw back in March. She obliged and suffered burns in her
mouth and throat, requiring a tracheotomy. In July, she complained that she couldn’t breathe and later died. (Palm Beach Post, GoFundMe)
- In addition to Pope, the trend has left several kids with serious injuries.
- Jamoneisha Merritt, 11, was at a sleepover Sunday night when her friends poured boiling water over her face
as she slept. She suffered extreme injuries and may be left permanently
disfigured.
- North Carolina 10-year-old Wesley Smith also suffered
severe burns after attempting the challenge with his stepbrother, the
boy’s mother told WNCN.com, a CBS affiliate.
- Parents have begun speaking out about the challenge. Read more (8/10/17)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!
natural selection.
stupid is as stupid does.
I was thinking the same thing. What child is stupid enough to do this? As for the ones throwing boiling water on unsuspecting friends, I hope they spend the rest of their short life rotting in jail. Can you imagine waking up to you face being permanently disfigured?
@mojave-wasteland-official said something about how waking up on fire is less than pleasant. can’t imagine boiling liquid is any better. but yeah - these challenges and “pranks” aren’t just pranks when someone gets hurt, permanently scarred, or fucking dead.
My first thought was I couldn’t breathe. My second was the pain. It’s god awful. Fire and heat pain is the worst because it hits all your nerves and sets them off. Scalding is absolutely horrible. I’ve had that happen before to and it was like tossing my arm in a lake of lava and the pain only got worse over time.
Anyone who pressures anyone into doing this as a prank is an asshole but anyone who actually does it is an idiot too. Out of everything being burnt and scalded was the most painful.
Are people actually getting stupider as time passes?
You’re an EMT. You know the answer first hand.
You remember when kids would accidentally hang themselves playing “the choking game” trying to get high or as close to it as they could. I though that was about as dumb as you could get but killing yourself by drinking boiling water that’s just pushing the bar to a new level. Almost like the people who inject gasoline to get high.
Natural Selection comes swiftly for people like this
A rage that could outshine the sun.
(I HATE when this happens…)
