    Some of them are like finaldestination shit where you literally weren’t doing anything wrong or risky and then bam, life’s over for you by sheer astronomical-chance happenstance

    I still think about the one where a guy who works on an airport touches a floor fan that just so happens to be wired wrong or something. And that’s it, that’s the fluke, unexpected, undignified, awful, freak accident end of his life. All his hopes and dreams cut short because he touched a fan in passing. And then a clip of his death ends up on the internet for a bunch of cringe lords to crack lame jokes at. I can’t really shake that one.

      the one that does me in is the video of a guy in china using a lathe and getting wrapped around it.

      The machine doesn’t care. It just spins things. Including you.
