Social media continues to outdo itself when it comes to convincing those with the lowest mental faculties to perform degrading and ignorant stunts solely for attention, as the latest TikTok trend in Indonesia involves jumping in front of a speeding car and hoping it stops.
Known as “Malaikat Maut”, or “Angel of Death”, the “challenge” has led to numerous individuals (usually 18 or younger) getting hit by vehicles, resulting in severe injury and even death for some.
Three teenage boys on June 3rd trying to recreate the suicidal stunt in Banten’s Tangerang City led to one of them, an 18-year-old, getting struck by an eight-wheel truck, instantly ending his life:
Both the truck driver and the two children who managed to avoid harm were detained by Karawaci Police and are being questioned about the incident.
Sadly, this is not a singular instance, as other children have attempted the challenge (which began in 2021) on previous occasions, such as a 14-year-old boy on June 2nd who failed to move away from an oncoming truck, causing him to get hit and suffer a fractured skull and shattered teeth.
Police are hunting for the driver that fled the scene, and authorities are seeking to hand him hit-and-run charges.
There was another case on July 11th, 2021 where a group of eight children tried to perform the reckless stunt, ending the life of a 13-year-old boy while three others were maimed.
TikTok creators were allegedly warned to cease pushing out content that involves performing dangerous acts for no purpose other than virality, but it is said many were unhindered by these warnings.
Psychologist Rose Mini Agoes Salim explained the reason behind these teenagers having such an urge to do something life-threatening, saying “Psychologically, these teenagers are looking for self-identity. So they will look for a place to show their existence.”
Hope they keep doing it, because the place of stupid people is under the ground.
Life is an IQ test. Not everyone passes.
Everyone dies though
With things like public education, socialized healthcare, and authoritarian police states (all on the dime of the most productive people that exist) you don’t really have that, it’s the absolute scum of humanity that thrive and the best people are dwindling in number
Nice non-arguments subhuman mutt
Well some of you cunts would do the same thing if you would have been born and raised in this part of the world. Stop pretending pls

In a sense this is some sort of natural selection, nature cleansing itself.
Well it’s not cleansing itself fast enough if anything the stupid seem to breed at an alarming rate we just need to fucking purge the planet at this rate.

“Psychologically, these teenagers are looking for self-identity. So they will look for a place to show their existence.”
Self-identity. In other words, selfishness and dumbing down.
There was a time where we called those people fuckin morons!
well it worked, we saw their existence, right before it ended.
“…to show their existence.”
Well, they’re not existing anymore. Fools.
Nature is working and water is wet
