Current Events > Have you ever done anything that could have earned you a Darwin Award?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was thinking about the drunk 18-year old who jumped off his boat in a dare and got taken (probably) by a shark.

What have people done here that could have, in hindsight, resulted in a very bad outcome?

this wouldn't get a Darwin Award most likely, but idk if that site still exists even

As for me, I used to climb trees about 50 high and then jump into this small pond that was maybe 10 by 10 at its only safe/deep spot. If I missed it, Id probably be paralyzed or dead

Many people I know have driven drunk, which might be a lesser Darwin.

Ate a poison mushroom.

Peed behind the entertainment center where like a mass of cables and multiple power strips were.

Thankfully, I never did this, but as a teen Ive absolutely thought about squirting a bit of gasoline into a fledgling campfire that just wont seem to catch. Saw an article on a celebrity who did this to her charcoal grill and the fire ran right back up the bottle and caused a serious explosion. Im definitely going to teach my kids better than me on this.
