Something I just don't get. Why are these kids so attention-starved? What do they get by having a popular instagram account and getting tons of likes? I just don't get it.

Lots of them think there's money in it. Post a funny video, get people to watch it, get a cheque from YouTube. Or have an IG account where companies will want to advertise on.

They are lazy, and don't want to get a real job. They'd rather do dumb or shocking things in order to get likes or clicks, and get paid that way.

I wish YouTube and IG would simply do away with "likes" or "views". Would be a much better social media world, with a lot less anxiety for many.

Warning: The following mental image is NOT safe for normal minds.

For the same reason I wore Painter's pants, and put a bandana around my head and fluffed my hair over the top. Because other, "cool kids" are doing it and competing on a global scale.

Yeah like the instagram models. Thinking they will get to Hollywood but they are basically just on a fast track to the porn industry.

I believe in science AND God. Those who believe in only the latter, may actually give it a whirl.

Do we know anyone who is the latter for our science experiment?

I guess trying it on one encyclopedia first was just not in their budget...

Only when combined with an AFDB (Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie).

Official AFDB website.

Sad part is, they didn't even get the extra followers they were looking for....I thought it would've been worth at least 100k followers.

jaye944 · 06-30-2017, 07:43 AM

It's thanks to reality shows.. Shit like the Kardashians and Jersey Shore created a warped sense or realty for these kids. They think they can all be rich and famous by doing some dumb shit. Youtube a documentary called "Hot Girl Wanted", it's about young 18 year old girls getting into porn. The primary reason why they do it is "because I wanted to be famous and rich like Kim K." These kids are all fucking delusional.

Kids at #JustFuckingDumb these days.

My favorite is when the army had to send out a press release to let new recruits know that war is not like call of duty.

LMAO I heard about that. Ducking behind a wall for a few seconds will not heal you if you are shot.

Why didn't they test this first in the desert or a range? "Hmmm, bullet goes through book....not good idea."

kprocivic · 06-30-2017, 02:19 PM

I heard about this a few days ago. Didn't know it was with a .50 cal. Man that's sad.

From a foot away I don't think caliber would have made much difference.
