Genuinely don't understand the troglodytes that do this shit

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago

That's pretty rude to all the troglodytes who passed by that spot, thought some version of "That's a cool rock formation!" and went about their troglodytey day without knocking it over.

Apparently destroyed an ancient rock formation at lake Mead

I picked a hell of a day to stop drinking windshield washer fluid

You can stop tomorrow

I feel similarly. My reactions were “Why?!?”, “Are you utter idiots?!” and “I hope that your hate and idiocy isn’t passed down through gene pools!”.

Edit: I agree with other posters that it’s demeaning to troglodytes for someone not a troglodyte to claim that these wastes of air and proteins are troglodytes.

Hahaha I’m with the lady at the end.

The world can't have anything nice anymore, can it?

Respecting beauty requires empathy. COVID showed it's scarce.

Worse, it exacerbated the problem. Most people today are a whole lot more selfish than they were before the pandemic. The real reason? The incredible wealth transfer from all of us to the mega-rich. During Covid, all of us got robbed blind but most people still haven't even noticed...

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

That was part of it, but it also showed people like me who the average person (mostly from a particular political inclination) really is.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I mean, humans have been doing this stuff for thousands of years.

But we do keep doing it.

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

These are the same people that throw their trash out their car windows and litter in public parks and parking lots.

Unfortunately Michael Caine said it best, "Some men just want to watch the world burn." I hope social media helps these rangers find those people.

As an Eagle Scout & leader in my Son's Boy Scout troop, an avid hiker, backpacker and general outdoor enthusiast... this is incredibly upsetting. This type of vandalism can't be undone. I hope they find them and throw a rock...I mean the book at them. Or both.

Part of the Scout Outdoor Code is "...to be considerate in the outdoors." which means treat the land and other land users with respect and follow the principles of outdoor ethics for all outdoor activities.

These are the people who leave their poop in the toilet without flushing

[-] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Those fucks. I hate them lol

The good news is that Earth will have the last laugh. These people will grow old and die in a fraction of a geologic blink. They'll be tossed down a hole or incinerated and then finally serve a purpose as their component elements are recycled. If any monument to their memory is erected, the rain will patiently grind it to dust until it too is fully consumed. That's assuming their grave stone (or similar marker of the fading stain they've left behind) isn't knocked down prematurely by unruly future passersby.

Straight from Lord of the Flies.

Ok are we just going to pretend the picture in the thumbnail doesn't look like a veiny dick?
