Is this a photo from the article the other day about the idiot who got too close to a wild cat?
Are you not impressed with her amazing Instagram shot?
With context of what happened and the whole leopards ate my face meme it is actually an incredible shot.
I guess. I could take a photo of me about to clumsily fall off a cliff that would be pretty cool until I have to explain that the photo damn near cost me my life.
There are an alarming number of cliff deaths related to people wanting to get selfies.
edit: oh god, there's a wikipage on the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths
I'm sure. I heard about a local one early on in the smartphone era.
But you'll have a cool anecdote to tell people for the rest of your life.
So, this one time, I was an actual moron and tried to win the Darwin Awards by being eaten alive by a wild animal, but instead I accidentally got this picture and a serious injury. Fucking sweet, right bro?
Nope I don't use instagram and the day the story broke I never saw it posted here.
I was joking. I find the image a monument to stupidity
No argument here.
Was actually posted to !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world and in my opinion, highly on topic but the mods there are anti-fun :<
You know it.
So she really is stupid.
And that was the last picture she took
Did she not know what snow leopards are capable of???
Edit - he was messed up a bit but went on to mate after healing up.
But "I'm one of the good ones"
Not in a Nazi world you are NOT!
On one hand he deserves it. On the other hand I don't want him sent back here.
Nobody deserves him.
Not long before the first ICE agent gets arrested by ICE
That already happened last year I thought.
In a previous video, Pena reportedly urged Brazilians to stay calm and not “despair” after reports that ICE agents were rounding up migrants, including Brazilians. “But they’re all crooks. The lot of them,” he falsely claimed of the migrants being seized.
The Brazilian influencer has reportedly lived in the US since 2009
Wow.
It's hard to both love and hate the same thing. I hate that we are doing this to people, but if it is going to happen at least it is happening to assholes like this guy.
So many Sarumen
Jejejejeje motherfucker.
If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander!
Ha Haaa!
Brazilian influencer who defended US immigration crackdown arrested by ICE Trump supporter Júnior Pena falsely claimed migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, were ‘all crooks’
I'm willing to grant him an exception, not "all" but at least 1 from my count
Foda-te sobrinho.
