He’s young and I suspect will have many more Darwin efforts. But this is one of the more impressive, non-fatal, first efforts I’ve seen

Darwin understood the dumb and defective dont get to reproduce which prevents their dumb and defective genes from being passed on. Evolution is brutally efficient.

In the late 1940s, in the village of Burgess, IL, there was a repair shop called,...wait for it,.. Burgess Garage.

One day the owner was soldering a radiator crack on a model A Ford. But somehow he caught the greasy engine on fire. The customer was standing near the garage door, and quickly grabbed what thought was a bucket full of water and tossed it on the car engine....

Yep, it was gasoline, and the place burned to ground. The men escaped with minor burns.

(I was born about 6 years after that happened, grew up a mile from there, but heard the story from my great uncle, who was standing outside the garage talking to another farmer, and saw the inside of that garage instantly become a huge blaze)
