I assume that the context for posting this blog post from 2017 now is the recent submarine implosion.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoYes, in the sense that the accident made me think of the Darwin Awards. To trace the whole process, I read an article that commented on how people on social media were mocking those who perished in the accident and calling them stupid etc. This made me think again of the Darwin Awards and I had a look to see if there is anyone who shares my opinion about them (that they are callous and mock the dead with no consideration for their families, pretty much as the article says). I went to the wikipedia page of the Awards and found the name of the author of the article under the "Reception" section. Having read the above article, I thought it was a good one to post on HN.
