Darwin Awards: Penny SMPS Challenge
(1/8) > >>
Shock:
New stupid for school kids who weren't taught the dangers of electricity.

In other news, another crappy phone charger took out a guy in Russia just recently. Still a slow and steady supply of cheap smps killing people. If you are interested in how this occurs in 2016 a smps electrocution that lead to a fatality was captured on video.

Content Warning: Second video shows electrocution.



Bark:
There are a lot of really confusing things on this "Tik Tok" site.  There has been recent news about the "skull breaker challenge" and the kids involved seem to be well old enough to know that "skull breaking" should sound fatal.

Yet they do it.

Has anyone seen the movie "idiocracy"?  I think the world is de-evolving in this direction  :-DD
OwO:
I've always associated tiktok with instagram thots. It's called dick tok for a reason (see "d" in logo").
Domagoj T:
Let's not conflate these two.
One is clearly abuse and intentional circumvention of safety features, the other is an innocent kid dying due to no fault of his while properly using a device that should not have failed in this way.
These two events could hardly be more different.

How dare you accuse me of conflating!

Maybe I should have put in an extra video to make it clear they were not related. Well... aside from smps and the dangers of electricity and the need for ground fault protection for the public when they place the penny on the wrong side or use noninsulated mobile/headphones. Oh no, it's starting to sound conflated again.
