  1. Ich werde so feiern, wenn uns die fossilen #Lobbyhuren der #Bundesregierung erfolgreich in einen #Krieg geführt haben, zu dessen Beginn schon kein Kraftstoff mehr vorhanden ist 😂

    Möge Darwin Euch elendem, korrupten Scheißpack gnädig sein, #Merz.

  2. RE: kolektiva.social/@firestorm/11

    Couou les enYoutubés !

    Tu vas publier tes trucs chez les fachos et chez les nazes et ensuite tu viens pleurer que ces mêmes fachos et nazes te censurent. Tu sais quoi ? Tu l'as cherché, c'est un #DarwinAward, un peu comme si tu avais présenté ta carte d'adhésion à la 5e brigade internationale à un SS dans le camp de Dachau en 1943 ou à un franquiste dans leur QG à Madrid.

    La loi de la pesanteur est dure mais c'est la même pour tout le monde.

    => sauve ce que tu peux de ce qui peut l'être et casse-toi de là, par exemple sur PeerTube ou sur Internet Archive, sauf si t'as envie que ce soit eux qui te l'imposent quand ça leur chantera, evidemment.

  3. Of course, you need to be sensible when you're first starting out. Don't mess with #dangerous things. You don't start repairing hydraulic systems or mains-voltage gear or machines that can take your arm off if you sneeze wrong.

    Start with simple stuff, and basic safety precautions.

    You can try #electrical stuff, as long as you unplug it and short any big capacitors (large cylindrical things) it has, in case they don't have a bleed resistor on them.

    Even better is to start with something that plugs in with an external low-voltage plugpack - it's much harder to kill yourself with a tower fan that runs from 24 VDC than one that runs directly off the mains.

    Maybe do a brief web search on the device if you're not sure about it, just to see if there are warnings about working on it.

    Surprising (in some sense) things to avoid working on:

    Microwave oven. This is the object in your house that is trying hardest to kill you. High frequency, high-voltage AC will kill you dead if you get it across your body.

    Old-fashioned CRT (TV/monitor) tubes. Very high voltages, and frequently hold a charge for a long time.

    Gas-powered equipment. You can't "unplug" them, and there's always a chance there's enough gas hidden in the carburetor or the removed spark plug wire bumps into the plug that it could puff to life if you turn the crankshaft. One revolution is enough to maim or kill you.

    Have fun!

  13. Ganz normaler Winter-Irrsinn in Tirol. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Viele Nominierungen für einen #Darwinaward, ausgezeichnet wurde schlussendlich aber niemand.
    Ein Winter mit wenig Schnee, gepaart mit Unwissen, Ignoranz, Dummheit und Leichtsinn. Viele haben einfach nur sehr viel Glück. Seeeehr viel!

    Dass so vielen Skitourengeher (-innen betrifft so was in der Regel kaum) nichts an ihrem Leben und ihrer Gesundheit liegt, überrascht mich aber doch. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Der Screenshot ist vom hier verlinkten Blog, die detaillierte Auflistung der Lawinenunfälle in Tirol am 30. und 31. Jänner ist zu lange für die Bildbeschreibung.

  25. AI Darwin Awards
    Honouring Those Who Asked "Can We?" Without Ever Asking "Should We?"

    Named after Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, the original Darwin Awards celebrated those who "improved the gene pool by removing themselves from it" through spectacularly stupid acts. Well, guess what? Humans have evolved! We're now so advanced that we've outsourced our poor decision-making to machines. […]

  26. Fucking morons.

    Florida ending vaccine requirements to attend school.

    Vaccine mandates apparently "drip with disdain and slavery." SLAVERY

    Hopefully the thousands of children and parents who will need serious medical attention will go ahead and get sick fast, to possibly prevent the other mentally vacant states from rushing to sign up for Darwin awards, themselves.

    Though, given just how mentally at sea these people are, they will probably call it "a hoax by the Dems."

    What an age we live in. Carl Sagan called it years ago - 1000%.

  31. I've been wondering all day how Trump could have possibly become president, and how half of a country could have been this stupid.

    Then I remembered this time some dude tried to rob a gun store in my home town of Renton, Washington with a knife when I was in middle school, and it makes a lot more sense if people are capable of being THAT dumb.

    not me tho. mans EARNED his #DarwinAward. he literally removed the failsafes that would prevent him from dropping the reflector on the plutonium core and proped it up with a flathead screwdriver 🪛 so he could leverage it up and down.

    why?

    to show off.

    someone told him that if he kept doing that he'd be dead in a yr!
