    It sounds like they were working at a station and the train was passing through, my guess is they put the train on the wrong tracks or something.

    It was a joke about the trolley problem (philosophy) although internet can never miss a joke done in bad taste

    interdimensionalmeme ,

    I blame the non-interventionist for not getting involved and stopping this accident even if it might have killed one other person.

    Buffalobuffalo , to worldnews in Blue supermoon: World gazes at rare lunar phenomenon

    “Rare lunar phenomenon” that happens every couple of years, and is only relevant because there are 27ish days between a new moon and 30-31 days in a month. The moon is cool and I like looking at it, but a “blue moon” is a quirk of our calendar not the moon being interesting.

    Even the "supermoon" part is really pretty bland. The Moon looks very slightly larger. Imperceptible without some kind of visual reference that you've calibrated beforehand.

    Just look at it through some binoculars and you'll be way more impressed.

    Denmark… do you believe in fairies?

    No.

    Then quit acting like it.

    Frederic , to worldnews in Denmark plans jail term for burning Quran in public

    What about burning “The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster” or “Dianetics” books? Or Harry Potter, or LOTR books?

    Fisk400 ,

    The law includes all religious texts. If an organization achieves religious status it will have the same protections.

    NuPNuA ,

    Loads of people burnt Harry Potter books online over the last few years since Rowling went mental over LGBT issues.

    Lots of people burned them when they were released because they are morons. Now I bet they defend her because she expresses hate towards the same people they hate.

    They should have jailed him for sexual assault, leaving the stadium in a squad car, not a limo.

    diffuselight , to worldnews in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

    People seem awfully quick to accept the narrative - it seems to me this would be the easiest way for him to disappear on his own terms.

    Jagermo ,

    Either way, he is gone.

    xor ,

    I think the key thing is that there isn’t really a compelling reason why Russia would want to take his death. And if prigozhin has actually just faked his death to go retire on an island somewhere, the result for the rest of the world is practically the same

    ineedaunion ,

    Putin wanting him dead isn’t a good enough reason? Putin has done everything so far for ego alone.

    wolfpack86 ,

    Russia could have reason to fake his death, but that would be only to facilitate them killing him in a more gruesome way.

    ipkpjersi ,

    Until he gets pulled out of retirement for one final stand. This is like the type of shit you’d see in a movie, it practically writes itself. Reality is stranger than fiction lol

    I still think he’s dead for real though.

    Atomic ,

    How is a plane crash the “easiest way”? And why on earth would Putin do him the favor of providing a new identity? What does Putin gain from that?

    diffuselight ,

    no remain identifiable, etc. Putin doesn’t gain anything, but the dude presumably knows he was on the kill list so disappearing would be in his interest

    Gnubyte , to worldnews in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

    Ah yeah the guy who opposed Putin

    Yeah surprise he’s dead

    Kimmel , to worldnews in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

    I won’t shed a tear for Prigozhin and his gang but I haven’t heard a single person speak about the uninvolved crew members of the plane who also got killed with this… poor souls

    Who cares? They were his own private planes. These people knew who they were transporting and getting paid for it while Ukraine burns. They are part of his war crimes as well.

    I share your sentiment. But that’s too complex of an emotion to have on the internet.

    suction , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

    Imagine living in Russia and pretending it’s fine to just go about your day instead of marching on the Kreml with millions of others. Russians will have a very hard time in the world in the next couple of decades, similar to Germans after WW2.

    I agree. Just like the Americans.

    Badass_panda ,

    Hate to say it but geopolitical, America’s got a brighter future than just about anyone else in the world right now. Something to say for lots of reserves of your own resources, your own continent containing only healthy, friendly trade allies and demography that isn’t in the midst of collapse.

    Knowing America we’ll burn the place down to spite ourselves, but hey

    Oh, he didn’t just “accidentally” fall from a window like usual? They upped the budget.

    megopie ,

    No, the plane just accidentally flew in to an air defense missile that was inexplicably hovering at 10,000 meters.

    FaeDrifter ,

    Man I hate running into air defense missiles, it’s such a downer

    @livus@kbin.social avatar

    This longer article has the footage and more in-depth explanations.

    Basically they had to choose between carrying on with their world record breaking climb, or calling their attempt off to focus on saving a life.

    They chose to carry on, assuming (wrongly, as it turns out) that someone else would come and save him.

    Their world record was a success.

    I am tired of Sherpas being treated as disposable by people who prioritise prestige or money spent, over human life.

    If that were one of them's father or brother lying there, they would have made a different choice.

    autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Texas woman seriously injured after hawk drops snake on her

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Peggy Jones, 64, was mowing her lawn last month when a passing hawk dropped a snake on her before swooping down to angrily try to reclaim its meal.

    The snake wrapped itself around her arm and began striking her face as the bird sunk its talons deep into her flesh.

    The bizarre incident took place on 25 July in the town of Silsbee, Texas, near the Louisiana border.

    The hawk struggled to remove the snake from Mrs Jones body, stabbing her with its talons repeatedly as it attempted to snatch back its food.

    “There were puncture wounds, cuts, abrasions, scratches and severe bruising,” she said, adding that the snake’s attacks to her face damaged her glasses.

    Mrs Jones described the attack as severely traumatic, adding that she thought she was going to die and has had trouble sleeping since it happened.


    I’m a bot and I’m open source!
