What's the opposite of a Darwin Award? Something to give people who survive random acts of nature.
The Violet Jessop Award?
I mean, they walked in the middle of the street with a metal pole raised up during a thunderstorm.
I guess they were dumb but lucky to survive.
Those are umbrellas, and there are much higher metal poles in the surrounding buildings. I don't think this would qualify for a Darwin award if they died, it's the usual thing to go out with an umbrella in storms.
It's a usual thing to stay inside during a thunderstorm, like the people in the background do. No wonder so many people get hit by lightning every year.
Do you take your day off every time there's a thunderstorm? Or do you arrive soaked at work?
Some places have very frequent thunderstorms, can't take a day off for each.
In fact I go to work by bike over an open field. If there's thunderstorms, that we have quite frequently, I either shift times around to not get into it or take puclic transport.
Thunderstorms rarely come by surprise these days.
Don't walk in the middle of the street with a metal pole in your hand, at least walk closer to a building.
It's borderline insane that this is an argument at all.
Just go ahead and do what these two people did if it is deemed safe.
their intelligence has nothing to do with it. only whether they kept themselves in the gene pool.
Nothing is perfect not even Darwin.
