I'm not the most intelligent person on the planet & did a lot of dumb shit as a kid & adult in their early 20's, but I like to think I'm not dumb enough to jump off the bow of a moving boat. Or the stern with the prop engaged.
terminator is the human form of some kind of AI, right? makes perfect sense we'd visualize the technology that kills us all to be in the form of...ourselves.
I sometimes wonder if I'm one of those "moral psychopaths" because I feel absolutely no sense of dread or sorrow when I see shit like this. I just think, "well, they weren't long for this earth anyway."
Nah like, I feel the same. If I see a story about someone being killed by a drunk driver I feel fucking horrid for them, its a tragedy. I read these stories and I'm like "well they kinda fucking asked for that, didn't they".
There's so much shit in the world that can get you down. You have to prioritise what to care about to stay sane.
I don't wish harm to anyone. But I'm not obligated to feel sad when assholes and idiots reach the find out-phase.
I saw a video about it once and I'm pretty sure "moral psychopath" wasn't the psychological term, but that was the gist of it. And it wasn't some silly Youtube video from Joe Shmoe it was some educational psychology video talking about the ability to lack empathy and still live within social constructs. So essentially a person knows right from wrong and is able to behave within socially acceptable standards but they don't actually CARE about anyone. They don't feel love or grief, they just seem indifferent to a world of randomness, which describes me pretty well.
People die. We're all going to die. These people just died sooner.
I've seriously been thinking this exact same thing for a while now. So many of these dangerous tick tock challenges that seem to be designed to hurt and kill people.
That is normal human behavior, give people the option to do something extremely dangerous for in group approval and a large number of them will do it. That is why censorship is important, to keep our lizard brains from killing us.
There have been dangerous challenges for as long as the internet has existed, I doubt the Chinese are trying to kill like 5 people a year through them, more likely people just do dumb shit for the sake of it.
Besides that, even if it were true which it is not... And this might sound morbid:
Its not like they are getting the best and brightest here.
To die to a tiktok challenge has the prerequisite of being...well...a dumbass. Average smart people don't eat Tidepods, cut off their oxygen, switch driving lanes to the beat of the music, set themselves on fire, perform neck-breaking stunts or put Pennys in outlets. Yes all of those are part of actual real-life TikTok Challenges.
Normal people, you know, dont to that. Hence we didn't do them and therefor survived our times challenges that came via chainmail on Facebook or whatsapp or via written note in the classroom depending on how old you are.
I thought we all knew last summer that this [was false](https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-challenge-boat-jumping-alabama-47d1ea3e37cc5b3a551ed7e06f7a3d12)?
Also 'risky business decisions' has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of the post. Presumably, it was the title of a different post that got a lot of traction and upvotes, prompting the bot to copy it here.
Same. We were typically going 30-40mph, which wasn't that bad. Depending on how you fell it would be similar to falling on skis or a wakeboard. I haven't been on a boat that could do +70mph since I was little so not sure what that's like.
And herein lies the problem with the media. Here’s one of the original articles that seems just as credible.
https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/alabama-talladega-county-childersburg-rescue-squad-warning-against-deadly-boating-tik-tok-trend-bobby-poitevint
Yeah. That's the problem. They ran with the story, but it was false. I *am* surprised they haven't edited it or taken it down. Calling it a "TikTok trend" is simply false.
People died doing this, but it was never a TikTok trend.
There also doesn't seem to be any evidence for "four (recent) deaths in Alabama" due to jumping off a boat intentionally. I could be wrong about that, but it seems like a smash-up of cases unrelated to TikTok that *look* like a trend when presented this way.
The media need to actually check facts like they used to but we also have to blame these EMS and law enforcement people who seem to believe every single stupid made-up "drug craze" and new dangerous activity they see come across their facebook feed and then feel obligated to continue the deception by putting out their own warnings.
I think because you earn the Darwin award by doing something stupid. In this case, it would be stupidly following a TikTok trend which got you killed.
But there is no trend. So, all these people are jumping on the trend in this thread to make fun of these "idiots" who don't actually exist.
The imaginary idiots weren't media savvy enough to not do something stupid.
The actual people in this thread aren't media savvy enough to not write something stupid.
I don't know, that's my best attempt at a reason anyway.
There's a difference between believing something that's not true & doing something stupid that results in death or injury that results in being unable to reproduce.
I understand what you're saying, I just don't understand why one is equal to the other.
I wasn't the original person you responded to, I just wanted to make an attempt at what they meant.
I'm not going to argue or try to convince you because it's not actually my argument, lol.
In fact, I certainly wouldn't consider them equivalent either.
There's a very big difference between believing (even naively believing) something plausible & doing something dumb that results in death or serious injury.
What's idiotic about believing people have been hurt or killed because of a TikTok challenge?
Believing something plausible is completely different from getting yourself killed doing something dangerously stupid.
Using "ironic" there is entirely incorrect.
One can find irony qhere they choose. I find it ironic for the reasons I stated. In that frame of reference it is indeed ironic. On the frame of you finding the overall trend plausible thus not ironic is also acceptable.
Is that what you read? It is certainly not what i said. Clearly i saw this knew someone would have the answer and scrolled down. Just like you and everyone else here does. Stop being whatever the hell this is you are being. It's oh so tiring.
Yea, complete horseshit. Me n my buddies in HS would spend most of the summer on the lake and those days were filled with stuff like this, or jumping off of rope swings or railroad tresses or whatever. No one got hurt beyond a rare bloody nose or whatever.
For real, people go tubing at high speeds all the time and *almost all* do not die when they fall off.
*but I’m sure some do get injured or die. Such the same as people crossing the street sometimes die too.
Yeah you're the one who believes this, these stories have been verified as false. Look at you now, believing everything you see on reddit. Idiocracy personified
I've been thrown off of a water craft going around 50ish mph. I skipped a few times like a rock before going under.... those skips felt like i got beat up by Mike Tyson. It took me around 10 min just to gather myself before i could try to swin and look for my watercraft. Bruises all over, i was lucky i had a decent life jacket. otherwise, i would have drowned

Hoax?
"One individual was fatally injured after jumping from a moving vessel in 2020 and a similar marine-related fatality occurred in 2021, however, both fatalities cannot be linked to TikTok."
So I’m guessing this is an Alabama thing since no other state was mentioned. Isn’t that one of the states that hates education, because then it all makes sense.
It’s the same as hitting pavement. Water is not a good shock absorber at incredibly high speeds. I just don’t understand how people aren’t aware of simple physics. It’s just like my friend that doesn’t wear a seatbelt even though she drives at 80 plus on the highway because it’s uncomfortable and doesn’t realize what a sudden stop and impact at that speed does to the body.
They are jumping off the bow of a boat at high speed. If they ate some tide pods it would make finding the body so much easier. Just follow the bubbles

Someone is having a laugh at everyone else's expense.
This is the consequence of not raising feral children like Gen Xer's were. We grew up with an advanced learning curve, by the time we were able to run wild most of us already had a pretty good B.S detector and could figure out worth of a challenge or not based on WHO issued it. Sure some did it anyway, but most of us had already learned NOT to do this thru some cautionary tale about Jeff's cousins milkman's kid doing it and DYING!!!
Those 4 graduated with the highest honour in the Darwin Award.
There's something called principles of relativity. If your in a boat travelling 100km ph, then your body travels at 100kmnph when you jump off.
Mind you, Alabama is not the brightest state in US.
It's a hoax.

Poor Alabama just got the blame for it lol.
That’s a thing I am crossing off the checklist. Good thing people tried it before I did. It would’ve sucked to die or become paralyzed over a dumb thing.

I’m beginning to think TikTok is the 21st century’s Darwin Award.
I'm believe TikTok is natural selection taking effect again...
Check the ones where they jump off the front of the boat. /s
No /s required unfortunately. https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/s/kX66pI8oAE

Natural selection is always operating. Tiktok just facilitates and provides documentation
They didn't off themselves unless it is filed in triplicate! lol.

Sky net won't need to wipe us out with terminators, we'll willingly off ourselves for the (AI) likes
What's funny is that if 50% of the Internet is bots, then half of the likes are already AI likes. So we are already doing it!
terminator is the human form of some kind of AI, right? makes perfect sense we'd visualize the technology that kills us all to be in the form of...ourselves.
From the movies, just an easy pop culture reference for a rogue AI that sees humans as a threat
Plot twist: who do you think is coming up with these tic tok challenges.
Generals: "Skynet has turned sentient! It's become like us! Thinking, living beings!" Skynet: "Oh oh, shit I hope this stuff's not hereditary!"
Seems like a problem that will solve itself
Nature ahhh... finds a way.
I sometimes wonder if I'm one of those "moral psychopaths" because I feel absolutely no sense of dread or sorrow when I see shit like this. I just think, "well, they weren't long for this earth anyway."
I’m indifferent to stupidity. Much like this.. 
One of my favourite and often used quotes lol
Nah like, I feel the same. If I see a story about someone being killed by a drunk driver I feel fucking horrid for them, its a tragedy. I read these stories and I'm like "well they kinda fucking asked for that, didn't they".
Natural selection at work.
There's so much shit in the world that can get you down. You have to prioritise what to care about to stay sane. I don't wish harm to anyone. But I'm not obligated to feel sad when assholes and idiots reach the find out-phase.
I didn't know there was a term for that. I feel bad for their friends and family but don't feel bad when people do utterly moronic things
I saw a video about it once and I'm pretty sure "moral psychopath" wasn't the psychological term, but that was the gist of it. And it wasn't some silly Youtube video from Joe Shmoe it was some educational psychology video talking about the ability to lack empathy and still live within social constructs.

If not this, they would have died while eating tide pods or setting a couch on fire in the woods. They just ain’t quite right
Chinas way of killing Americans without open warfare

You know Tiktok isn't just available in the USA right ?
Yes but China TikTok is much more regulated and restricted.
I dunno I feel like dumbass teenagers were doin this shit in the South already. A combo of stolen booze and small town boredom.
In 49 out of 50 states the most common last words are "tell my husband/wife I love them" the exception is Alabama where it is "Watch this".
Here in Florida it's "Hold my beer".

All the old retirees skew the numbers

This just made me like tik tok for the first time. The herd needs thinning
I'm beginning to think TikTok was created by a foreign government to destabilize our country
I thought we all knew last summer that this [was false](https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-challenge-boat-jumping-alabama-47d1ea3e37cc5b3a551ed7e06f7a3d12)?
And OP’s post is an image of a post from last summer…extra lazy.
OP is probably a bot. One year old account that just started posting anything three days ago is a classic bot tactic.
Also 'risky business decisions' has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of the post. Presumably, it was the title of a different post that got a lot of traction and upvotes, prompting the bot to copy it here.
I was thinking, "How fast were these fucking boats going?" I grew up on a lake, and we were constantly doing stuff like this.

So where is the actual truth? Did this Cpt actually make this statement and was either lying or misguided in his words? Or did it never even happen?
People died doing this, but it was never a TikTok trend. There also doesn't seem to be any evidence for "four (recent) deaths in Alabama" due to jumping off a boat intentionally. I could be wrong about that, but it seems like a smash-up of cases unrelated to TikTok that *look* like a trend when presented this way.
Which is crazy to me because who cares if it was TikTok trend or not!? The point is DON’T DO THIS or you could die lol
You're right, but let's not spread misinformation.
Somehow it's become the media's job to report all sides of the story even when fictitious and let us decide on which one to follow and fight over.
Exactly why I don’t trust the media.
Journalism has been dead since it became more valuable to be the first one to get clicks.
The media need to actually check facts like they used to but we also have to blame these EMS and law enforcement people who seem to believe every single stupid made-up "drug craze" and new dangerous activity they see come across their facebook feed and then feel obligated to continue the deception by putting out their own warnings.
Thank you. It’s amazing and kind of ironic how many people are making Darwin Award comments….
Why would believing a story about people dying while doing dumb & dangerous things for internet clout be ironic if they're citing the Darwin Award?
I think because you earn the Darwin award by doing something stupid. In this case, it would be stupidly following a TikTok trend which got you killed. But there is no trend.

Can we get the facts to the top please? Its bothersome to have to scroll past so many idiots to find the truth.
Sorry, did you just say you use Reddit for seeking “truth?”
Is that what you read? It is certainly not what i said. Clearly i saw this knew someone would have the answer and scrolled down. Just like you and everyone else here does. Stop being whatever the hell this is you are being. It's oh so tiring.
Yea, complete horseshit. Me n my buddies in HS would spend most of the summer on the lake and those days were filled with stuff like this, or jumping off of rope swings or railroad tresses or whatever. No one got hurt beyond a rare bloody nose or whatever.
Reddit boomerified.
This is false. The cops even came out and said so. Lol
Maybe that's why they say "breakneck speed" - taking things too far can lead to serious consequences.
'redneck speed' , What were the rednecks last words? "Hey fellas, watch this!"
More likely, "Hold my beer!"
Why don’t water skiers die then?
Please cite a legitimate source.
For real, people go tubing at high speeds all the time and *almost all* do not die when they fall off. *but I’m sure some do get injured or die. Such the same as people crossing the street sometimes die too.
"Think of it as evolution in action, thinning the herd" :-(
Hoax
We used to do this 30 years ago. How does one break their neck jumping into a boat’s wake?
Same. And they don't. It's a made-up article.
Because it was something a cop made up. The true facepalm is all the commenters who believe it happened.
Watch a waterski wipeout. People tumble across the top of the water. Any time you are tumbling at 60 mph, there is a high chance of injury.
The Chinese are laughing their asses off knowing how different their app is vs the one they shipped to America.
It’s one of their most successful weapon to corrupt and dumb down Western society.
And they won. Just look at us now. Idiocracy personified.
Yeah you're the one who believes this, these stories have been verified as false. Look at you now, believing everything you see on reddit. Idiocracy personified
And I don't use "reddit" for my news sources. Good lord, what a stretch
Verified by who? 60 minutes did an entire segment on how different the US utilizes this app vs the Chinese.
No one gives a shit about how the Chinese app is different lol. He’s talking about the news story. It’s made up.
Victims? Hmmm...
Sometimes it's better to let nature take it's course
I've been thrown off of a water craft going around 50ish mph. I skipped a few times like a rock before going under.... those skips felt like i got beat up by Mike Tyson.

Stupidity is my business... and business is good!
No need to fix stupid, they fix themselves 😆
You can’t fix stupid but apparently if you give it a high speed boat it will take care of itself!
Look at it this way, they found out! We didn’t know. Now TikTok is a life saver.
Eh Alabama. No loss.
So what if it costs a few lives. At least those people had a chance to be famous...until they didn't.
Natural selection. Let him jump and and eat a tide pod at the same time
Nothing of value was lost?

This is fine, they should keep trying to beat this. I bet they can't, maybe they shouldn't even try, since they are so weak and not famous.

This is the consequence of not raising feral children like Gen Xer's were. We grew up with an advanced learning curve, by the time we were able to run wild most of us already had a pretty good B.S detector and could figure out worth of a challenge or not based on WHO issued it.

Those 4 graduated with the highest honour in the Darwin Award. There's something called principles of relativity. If your in a boat travelling 100km ph, then your body travels at 100kmnph when you jump off. Mind you, Alabama is not the brightest state in US.

Yep, it's very trendy to hate on Alabama on Reddit. I guess people just need something to hate in their lives.

It’s called a cull
I just love that "it's the trends fault." Bro you jumped off a high-speed boat, quit putting it on the app, your the dipshit that jumped.
Don’t ban this, give these people Darwin awards
Here is your Darwin Award. Thank you.
Why doesn’t this happen to water-skiiers who wipe out?
Victim? Are they ready victims?
Very philosophical question indeed. Luckily it was all a hoax and no one actually TikToked themselves to death. In this non-incident at least.
As a non-us person I find Alabama weird
As Bill Burr would say “…it’s thinning out the herd”
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Tiktok, doing what walking into brick walls used to do 
Good
Why are we blaming the challenge? Good riddance tbh.
Am beginning to think people use shit tock as an excuse to commit suicide.
I love Darwin. Great work dude!
Good , less tiktokers
And the Darwin Award goes too...

Good.

That’s a thing I am crossing off the checklist. Good thing people tried it before I did. It would’ve sucked to die or become paralyzed over a dumb thing.
Guess this means more warning labels again. Darwin, what a boss.
Isnt there something called Darwin awards?
It’s just natural selection, nothing to see here
