Sometimes I wonder if we should just give parents the right to unalive their children up to the age of 16 and be done with it. Would solve that overpopulation problem reaaaaal quick. :D
My favorite place to go when I was very young was the park with the highest slide. It was at least two stories tall and made of metal that would burn the shit out of you in the summer. I only fell off once then learned my lesson. It was still my favorite.
When I was in like… 4th grade… they had this all-metal monkey bar. it was pretty cool and new, it was curved back and fourth, and if you went fast enough, you could skip 2 or 3 of the rungs, catch the middle pole that held it up and then catch another rung to get back up onto slide house or whatever that was above it.
Yeah. They don’t make them like they used to. And the lesson I learned on that one was… don’t showboat beyond your abilities…
You sound like my kind of people. You ever make the swing go all the way around? I never saw anyone do it but we all tried and went way too high to where the chain would slack and basically drop you back to the ground.
gotta get a rigid swing. Mythbusters did a thing, because of the slackening of the chains, it’s impossible without, ah, significant modifications otherwise.
no, on the swings, I was mostly interested in flipping upside down. (the seat twisted veriticle, legs looped in the chains.)
I learned an entirely different lesson on that. (“Don’t Scare Mom”)
I know exactly what you’re talking about. There were a lot of kids at school that were into that.
I became pretty good at the back flip to show off and see how far I could get it to launch me while doing the back flip. I remember a time where a teacher caught me and scolded me pretty severely. It was beautifully reckless fun.
I was trying to equate the dumbest of us as being trump supporters. I forgot about the Chloroquine. Those people really are next level stupid and it would benefit all of humanity if they never existed.
To be clear, I’m not advocating killing dumb people, I would probably be included in that list even thought I’m no trump supporter. I’m saying that if the idiots were never protected from their stupidity they would have been examples of Darwinism long ago. Therefore they would have never made it this far in life and become a problem for the rest of us. In addition to that they would not have made it to their teenage years and procreated further compounding the problem.

I think we should take the warning labels off of everything to address overpopulation. Just let the idiots drink bleach.
Bring back playgrounds made of jagged metal and home chemistry sets where you can burn things in the name of science.
I grew up with one of those.
Fun times.

I’ve enjoyed this trip down memory lane with you.
Didn’t donald trump pretty much advocate it as a homemade cure for covid at some point? Or it was that horse parasite drug he suggested?
That was my point.

Idiocracy opening scene to illustrate my point.

Bill Hicks agrees.
None of us would be here.
We have an adherent to the Bill Cosby philosophy, I see.
