Facebook "Fire Challenge"

So... the cinnamon challenge was kinda funny as long as you didn't aspirate and die. I did that one a few times.

The cold water challenge... fine. Whatever.

The FIRE CHALLENGE?!? I would love to have a talk with parents/teachers of these geniuses and see if we can figure out where the lack common sense came from.

OK, you did the Cinnamon Challenge more than once, but the ones doing the Fire Challenge are "geniuses".

Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle, if not black, then maybe a warm reddish-brown?

Do you not see a difference between a teaspoon of cinnamon and pouring flammable liquids on your chest and lighting it?

And we get even dumber as a society

I don't even know what to say to that. Are people really that stupid?

Of course, but are they not both in the category of things that we do that are not really necessary, but that we do to impress or amuse our friends, and that are mostly done with innocuous results, but that have a very real risk of killing us?

Also, I was mostly joking (warm reddish brown = color of cinnamon).

missed the tease, sorry. And yes, people are really that stupid

I wonder if the self-immolation crowd feels this is belittling their efforts?
