People are Stupid

And the herd gets a little thinner.......


Ryan Satterthwaite should still be on Earth, living his life to the fullest, but a tragic moment would take his life.

The 19-year-old New Zealander died of a “serious head injury” sustained in a social media-inspired game of tackle with friends, police said. Satterthwaite died in hospital on Monday after a game of “run it straight” in the city of Palmerston North.

You may have seen this game on social media over the years. It involves two participants—one with a ball and the other the tackler—who try to knock the other one down.

“The tackle game played by the group of friends was based on a social media-driven trend, where participants compete in full-contact collisions without protective gear,” Inspector Ross Grantham said in a statement.


He said the teenager’s death highlighted the “inherent safety concerns with such an activity.”

The challenge has been gaining traction on social media over recent weeks, with videos on TikTok and Instagram clocking millions of views.


Some clips circulating on social media even show participants passing out after colliding with their opponents.

There is no footage of what happened to Ryan Satterthwaite, but clearly, he was dealt a vicious blow by playing the game.

“Run it straight” has been played casually in Australia and New Zealand for some time, and the dangerous trend has surged in popularity lately as scores of youngsters share footage of their run-ins.

People are stupid... and their stupidity is annoying as fuck. I'm in a clothing store the other day and this dumbass lady has her little dog with her on a leash. Like what's fido going to do? tell you if you look fat in those jeans? 🙄🙄🙄
So glad I don't own a store and have to battle against people that think their pets belong everywhere. 99% of them probably just give in because they want the business and these dog bringing people know it.20250601_170908.jpg

90% of cat people never do anything like that that I've seen. But I don't approve of it with cats either. In my opinion the only time the cats should be doing something publicly besides cat shows or cat events or being at the vet is if they are one of those animals who is trained to work in nursing homes or with kids to give them some kind of happiness.
