[@kumaranvij]

@@pennyproud1621 I thought perhaps the poster might care to know, as well as any other interested parties. But thank you for your thoughtful and heartfelt insight. Herbivores, by definition, don't eat meat (although some animals like bugs might go down with the roughage). An animal that eats both animal and plant matter is an omnivore. Many animals exhibit aggressive behaviors. Aggression is certainly not limited to carnivores - I'm sure most people know that. However, a hungry herbivore does not attack an animal in order to satiate itself. It attacks a plant.

My favorite Darwin winner was a number of years ago. He was working on his roof, but was afraid he might slide off. So he took a rope, threw it over the peak of the roof & secured it to the bumper of his pickup truck on the opposite side of the house. He then climbed back onto the roof & tied the end of the rope around himself. While he was working, his wife came out the other side, got into the truck, not noticing the rope, and drove off into town to do some shopping!!!

Common misconception. Charles Darwin never said “survival of the fittest.” It was a sociologist named Durkheim who applied Darwin’s theories to society who coined that term.

[@TCFair10000]

Herbert Spencer coined the phrase "survival of the fittest".

I had no idea that the Darwin Award is a "coveted prize". 😃

The girl in Yellow stone was lucky the Bison didn't try to procreate. He was viewing her midriff with interest.

Yellowstone and death go hand in hand

[@johnkwasniak6244]

Instant $10K fine for messing with the Bison !!

[@Dfish2229]

It blows my mind that some people think wild and extreme predators at the top of their food chain are big stuffed animals that pose no threat. So like the “this shit will burn you” warning on fast food coffee cups, somebody else f’d around and found out lions can kill you where a window once was

[@adreabrooks11]

Except that the coffee cup thing was entirely McDonald's fault. At the time of that lawsuit, they kept their coffee roughly 20 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than other places. The plaintiff ended up with third degree burns on 6% of her skin because the coffee was so hot that it burned instantly. These days, they've lowered it to a level where you'll only get third degree burns after 20 seconds, allowing you to strip out of your pants if you spill coffee in your lap...

The sarcasm is awesome. Very entertaining.

The lady and the bison. Doesn't that sound like a Disney movie? I'm closing in on 60 and have spent most of my life outdoors. I don't care if it is a squirrel or an elephant, run across a wild animal be very careful.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

All too often bears get killed for attacking stupid people. I am glad the sloth bear was not blamed for that mans actions.

[@lindas146]

I handled claims for 24 years. I worked for a very large well-known insurance company. I know firsthand how people’s stupidity can sometimes be fatal. Nothing surprises me anymore.

[@d.l.l.6578]

I’m glad the bear recovered. Buffalo lady: I want a Darwin Award! No, you have to DIE to get a Darwin Award. Do it right next time.

Thank for including the fact the dig was fine in the second story! I hope his family or someone else gave that good boy a home! He started fighting a straight BEAR to protect a human stranger! Humans dont deserve dogs 😫

The current Olympic champion of all time - in this guy's humble opinion - is the feller who constantly threw himself against the window of his umpteenth floor office in order to demonstrate to aghast newcomers how strong the windows were. He was right about the windows. Unfortunately he omitted to account for the strength of the adhesive that held them to the walls.

[@phylis3917]

The way you put last paragraph. 🤭

[@SeanBZA]

Problem with the lion parks is that, because they are rehomed there as problem lions, they are not afraid of people, as they were the ones removed for raiding and killing cattle and such. Fun fact about the Kruger park is that the one thing they tell you is not to leave the vehicle, because there is almost always going to be a lion around, and over half of them are confirmed man eaters, the rest are suspected.

[@ertsixbarf]

oh, that is like bears in Canada, what BS ? problem bears get killed, so do problem lions, i assure you, no confirmed man eating lions around in world famous Kruger park,

[@Stinger420]

Its rumored that Tedzu had no intention of coming back down alive. I've seen another video about him and it had stated how he was having financial troubles and other personal issues.

[@finwefingolfin7113]

''he was having financial troubles and other personal issues.'' ... I think you will find that includes most of us

[@RedDadRedemption]

The lesson I took from this video is - If you survive your 47 year you should be OK. I lived through that a few yrs ago so I should live a long life.

Or... hold my bear?

[@larsharris]

You need to judge animals. Most will warn you. Except Ostrich, gators, and a few animals I have never met. I even had an Elk. From a farm with the person raising, feeding the elk guiding me. Come at me. I dang near shot a $8000 Elk. We had gone thru 3 pens with no issue. This two year old male broke from group to go at me. Owner tried to distract him. I am backing for gate, finally draw down. Elk realized “something changed” ran off.

The guy that drank Koi Pond Cleaner and died because he thought it would protect him from Covid19 was actually rejected by the Darwin Awards.

His wife gave it to him, we can’t be sure he was a willing participant as she had a history of abusing him,

I remember Trump making a statement to the effect detergent would kill COVID. It sounded as if he thought an injection would be a good idea.

[@digitalzips]

@@michaeledwards2251 Typical myth expounded by democrat dupes. Like everything else they will take anything out of context.

[@joshuastandlee3455]

​@@michaeledwards2251 He did, and I figured there would be some people who believed him.

[@kgbgb3663]

@@michaeledwards2251 Don't believe any claim by the MSM that Trump said something stupid. It has always been twisted to something different from what he actually said. "It [only] _sounded as if_ he thought an injection [of detergent] would be a good idea" after it had been through three Democrat-voting sub-editors. I bet if you find his exact original words, you will find that, while possibly a bit over-simplified, they were basically accurate. It happens all the time.

Nice presentation, thanks, some people are stupid , deluded or suicidal,,, fancy winding the window down in the lion park, it’s very sad but she maybe thought she was clever and new better, I always listen to people’s advice especially at work ,I’m a builder and certainly don’t know it all

That Japanese guy had terminal cancer. I don't think he really cared if he lived or died. I think it was for an experience

At 7:54 It's really important to know that he was experiencing really bad depression and likely had an extreme lack of care for his wellbeing.

The man who featured in the story starting at 3:08 is NOT eligible for the Darwin Award as he had 2 children, so his genes have, unfortunately, already been passed on.
