I miss watchpeopledie, it was humbling.
I miss FatPeopleHate.
Maybe I remember that sub through rose tinted glasses but i dont remember it hating people for being fat. The negative traits being hated on were things that fit a stereotype that happens to exist among people who are more likely to be fat.
Its probably good it doesn't exist anymore, there were some really well written stories though, it was like the bad roommates sub.
Humbling; Absolutely!
It also desensitized me and at the same time, made me super anxious driving on two-lane roads or seeing people speeding. So I had to just stop looking at it.
Thats it though, if everyone watched some of that when they start driving maybe they would be more careful. Probably good for some and bad for some.
Like in the machinist world its good to see the videos and pictures of the accidents.
That is true. I think that sub is why I don’t really speed, nor act like a complete cockwad on the road.
I don’t want to lose control and crash into a guardrail that empales half my face, with an eye popping out of its socket and slowly die in agonizing pain.
Seatbelts is another thing I religiously use, after seeing that video of that Russian woman who was launched through a windshield, and rag-dolled like 50 meters in the air, before landing outside of the highway. This was like circa 2013.
