#428 Death by Selfie Ruled An Idioticide

Dumbass kills himself while posing with his buddy's gun for a selfie.

Note, his hand is not the gun that killed him.

Oscar Otero Aquilar "accidentally" discharged a gun he was holding into his head while trying to take an "I'm a tough guy" selfie with which to woo the ladies.

Here's the thing these Darwin Inductees never get before its too late. A gun is a tool, it is nearly inert and can be used as a hammer if you keep your finger off the trigger. I don't recommened it but you can.

The ONLY way 99.999% of guns will fire is by pulling the trigger.
The ONLY way this moron dies is by his own stupidity (and his buddy who handed him a loaded, with a round in the chamber and safety off .45 to pose with).
The ONLY way this idiot dies is by pointing the gun at himself and pulling the trigger. This is an idioticide.

You treat a gun like a toy and it'll come back and demonstrate why it is not. Oscar didn't learn anything, maybe his friends did? Hard to say since one is going to prison and the other ran and hid and is still hiding.

Treat a gun like what it is, a dealer in high velocity death. Handle a gun properly and they are as safe as a hammer. Mishandle them and die or get maimed or maim a friend. How do people still not get this?

#422 Do Not Die For Your Stupid Cellphone, Stupid

Woman drops cell phone in toilet, two die in rescue attempt

Okay, a few immediate thoughts. One, how did she get her husband AND mother in law to jump in after HER cellphone? That is some damned impressive hen pecking right there. Two, an open pit toilet is just another name for a hole in the ground filled with shit. That is, ewwww!

The brand new phone was worth $320 or the lives of her husband and mother in law.

And the pit was "only" waist deep but the two were overcome by the fumes anyway. And let's just consider that little tidbit. Overcome by fumes means they asphyxiated on methane, airborne shit in the air and whatever other by-products are produced by massive quantities of waste. Ugh, I can think of several thousand other ways I'd prefer to go than effectively drowning in a giant pool of human feces.

For a stupid phone. The mind wobbles (yes, I'm well aware, this is what's known as an obscure pop reference that some will get and most will not).

#418 Don't Do Naked Pushups in the Middle of the Road

Use the buddy system for safer street pushups!

 I'm sure many things seem like a great idea but dropping trou and running into the street to do some naked pushups at 4 in the morning isn't one of them.

Man doing naked pushups in Portland street hit, killed by passing car

A life ends in three parts,  a call to the police about a naked man running in traffic, another call about a naked man doing pushups in traffic and then a third call that the naked man doing pushups in traffic had been hit and killed by a third car.

#251 Don't Eat Wild Mushrooms

Elderly man dies after eating wild mushrooms.

I'm sorry for the guy but it seems incredibly stupid and avoidable to not die this way. It is simply too easy to accidentally pick poisonous mushrooms and get really, really sick or to die.

And it isn't worth it. Mushrooms cost, what? Three or four bucks a pound?

#97 Don't Try To Steal Live Wires

Shock burns cable thief beyond recognition

Only because one of his hands survived incineration were officers able to identify the man as German of Kazakh origin.

Um yeah, this is about as stupid as trying to steal a dog during a dog fighting match (not that I would ever, ever, ever be AT a dog fighting match).

What an awful way to punch out though.
