Reply to comment by Jellorage in Indiana man dies after falling from Puerto Rico cliff while filming a TikTok video by Qlanger

This on struck me as super awful:

Two young men died in the Ural Mountains after they pulled the pin from a live hand grenade to take a selfie. The phone with the picture remained as evidence of the circumstance of their deaths.

I feel like there must be a lot of mistakes made/bad luck happening to get to the point where "death by pulling the pin from a live grenade because you wanted to take a selfie" becomes reality.

Yeah its called being massively idiotic... Why take a grenade selfie at all? And definitely why pull the pin first?! Like what? Show me a universe where that makes sense

It’s called qualifying for a Darwin Award.

The tragedy is they didn’t even have to pull the pin to take a selfie.
