Before they become adults causing traffic chaos, eliminating them at the larvae stage might be a blessing.
There used to be just the traditional motorcycle problem, but these guys added to it and made things even worse.
this post really said 'let me casually disrespect every other nation' and i'm here for the chaos ngl
Is this natural selection?
this is lowkey interesting but also feels a bit weird to reduce a whole country's intelligence to statistics like that
Natural death.
Not too long ago, some genius parked an e-scooter right at the entrance to my apartment complex parking lot in the most annoying way possible. I was about to throw it myself but lacked the guts—then some older guy actually grabbed it and tossed it, and man did that feel good. E-scooter riders, please go out of business.
The dominant people riding these things are literally beating the crap out of other smart people ㅋ
Sometimes I see kids on fixies doing these 180-degree wheel drags where they look absolutely stupid, but apparently they think it looks cool? They'll do this nonsense right in front of people walking on the track to show off ㅋㅋㅋ Parents on here who bought your kids fixies—teach them better, they're out here doing stupid shit
lmaooo not south korea out here gaming the system 💀 their education system is actually insane though
ok but can we talk about how their public transportation alone probably boosted collective IQ? everything just works there
Fair point.
as someone who studied in korea, the hagwon culture explains EVERYTHING. those kids are built different fr
why is this making me feel inadequate about my own country's infrastructure 😭
the way they mention starcraft and esports making people smarter is sending me, but actually not wrong??
