Okay, finally a thread which can be a
suppository depository repository for stories of all the idiotic things people do.
I begin with this one:
Gender reveal party blamed for California wildfire
One of three major wildfires currently burning in California and blamed for the evacuation of some residents of San Bernardino County was apparently sparked by a gender reveal party, according to state officials.
A news release from California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) on Sunday indicated that a pyrotechnic device used to generate colored smoke was behind the El Dorado Fire, which has burned more than 7,000 acres and was as of Monday just 5 percent contained according to state officials...

Back in my day "gender reveal" happened when the slimy thing came out of my wife. Then we smoked cigars and drank booze while I boasted to my friends about what I made.

If I lived in CA I wouldn't light a cigarette. I wouldn't want to be responsible for scorched earth.

I can't imagine anyone being so dense as to not see the consequences of this. But we had our own here in good ol' NE Florida few years ago when a guy in Baker county decided to burn some books in his backyard when the whole area was in the middle of a weeks long burn notice. Like in California, it started a wildfire that covered a huge area.
People are just stupid, sometimes.
Statistically speaking, half the world is stupider than the most average.
The most average is not that smart.
Although I didn’t read the link, and I’m sure it’s tragic, I’d say there’s an argument for stupid can be fixed. I’m not big on those people who don the spandex and ride their 10k bicycles next to vehicles traveling 45+ mph. I’m also not big on minivans or people hanging out of cars. So, maybe stupidity was fixed?
It says "complete stupidity" led to that. Probably could add copious amounts of alcohol to it, I'd bet.

And here i was thinking a friend’s gender reveal party was an unnecessary bit of selfishness during a pandemic. At least they only endangered friends and family who knew the risk, not everyone within miles.
Until they went home, that is.

Do you know if it was a boy or girl?

I'm not sure. What do sun eclipsing clouds of gray smoke indicate?

When I followed the Grateful Dead it usually meant trippin on acid (although my drug of choice was always tequila).

I have a long time friend that was a conductor for Florida East Coast Railway.. He would tell me all the horror stories about hitting cars and running people over.. He said the train would knock them clean out of their shoes and there would be body parts scattered for half a mile..

Sadly, that happens way more often than people think. Having a dad that was RR police and a wife in HR at a RR company, I’ve heard way more than I care to. This company even had, may still have, a program dedicated to putting awareness out for this exact thing. Fairly certain I wasn’t supposed to see it, but I saw a tape of a super unfortunate mother walking with her young child. I guess the tracks were owned by the company or something, idk. Because it was passenger trains on the tracks. One train was stopped, blocking vision to cross. Mom goes to cross tracks by foot, sees on coming train, she stops. That split second, the child while holding moms hand took an extra step or two. That’s all she wrote. There wasn’t much of the kid left whatsoever. Sad to watch.
