Davi Nunes Moreira, 14, died in hospital in Planalto, Brazil last Thursday after telling staff he had injected a solution made of crushed butterfly into his leg.

Believed to have carried out the dangerous procedure as part of an 'online challenge', Moreira began vomiting and struggled to walk before admitting his mistake.

The youngster was taken into hospital by his father and remained in the Vitória da Conquista general hospital for a week, receiving specialised support, before he died.

Tic Toc is just another natural selection mechanism.

Another “Tik Tok challenge?”
It is like some kind of sick psyop.

Back in the day (60’s, psychedelic craze), people would smoke anything, oregano, spices. They would inject peanut butter, ink, etc for a new high...very little has changed...only instead of your influencer being a friend or a local person, it is some jerk halfway around the world.
Ya’ reap what ya’ sow.
One of these days, some pissed of dad is gonna’ track down the “influencer” and.....

Kids have always been stupid - the difference is they’re exposed to a larger pool of evil monsters now with help from online filth.

Lucky. When I was at Benning we participated in a five mile run to benefit the Infantry museum. We just got ugly hats.

My friend dared me to snort chili flakes from the shaker at Happy Joes. I won $1. Still not sure it was worth it.

Humans are stupid these days and getting more so.

You will eat the bugs and like it, they say. Uh, bug juice killed this kid, sure he injected it but still.

Note to self, don’t put your foot in ice water until it turns black. An influencer, not so much. Having to have her mother drag her around in a garden chair. Maybe that will wake 3 of her followers to not do moronic challenges.

Let’s be honest, there isn’t a man alive, who didn’t do at least one insanely stupid thing growing up. Most of us get lucky and that really stupid thing (or things) didn’t kill us.

Difference is today you have social media putting out all kind of stupid things to mass audiences daily.

Popular Youtuber “Mr Beast” had a cohost transition into a “woman.” Don’t try that at home kids.

Wow, I bet that incoherent and disjointed rant made you feel super duper special.

Maybe you should switch to decaf, or stop injecting insects into your leg.

No one is happy the kid passed away, we’re just happy we are still here for some reason.

I don’t wanna reveal all the stupid things I did “when I was young.” I’m just supremely grateful that tattoos weren’t a part of my culture. (That, and injected bugs into our blood.)


I’m the youngest of six and the only Gen-X (the rest are Boomers). I spent a lot of time quietly watching older siblings participate in extremely stupid and self destructive acts.

Most of my acts of stupidity were preceded by impromptu risk-analysis.

I’ll never get past the barefoot stage. Can’t stand shoes. Have to feel the ground and balance with my toes. Get in the driver’s seat and shoes automatically fall off. Grandma was the same.
