Y’all Gotta Stop Giving Yourselves Brain Damage To Impress Your Friends

Dillon Cheverere8 years ago

Y’all gotta stop giving yourselves brain damage to impress your friends. You just have to stop. I’m all for the “do it for the story” mantra but not when the “it” means destroying your brain so everyone who isn’t you can enjoy the stunt. They get a cheap laugh. You get concussed. They win. You lose.

Our Instagram feed is absolutely littered with videos of guys willingly taking brutal head shots in many forms, oftentimes rendering them completely unconscious, just for a short video and a chance at their 15 minutes of internet fame.

Y’all gotta stop letting people hit you over the head with bottles.

Y’all gotta stop voluntarily taking punches to the face.

Y’all gotta stop riding bicycles down stairs and falling face first.

Y’all gotta stop running headfirst into walls.

This next one is seriously disturbing. This kid very literally attempts to hammer a nail into wood using his skull. Y’all gotta stop trying to hammer nails into wood using your skull.

He hammered a nail with his face. Think about that. I mean really think about that. A hammer, the tool designed for such a task, is made of steel. Your face is made of flesh over bone. Imagine being a parent and that’s your son, the one who tried hammering a nail into wood using his skull.

“Oh hey, Gary. How’s the family doing?”

“You know, we’re all doing pretty well. Thanks for asking, Phil.”

“What about Scott? Is he doing well down there at State? He’s majoring in Finance, right?”

“Actually Scott is in the hospital right now.”

“Oh no, is he okay?! What happened?”

“He suffered major head trauma because he tried to hammer a nail into wood using his goddamn skull.”

“Oh fuck, Gary.”

“Yeah he’s retarded now. We’re so proud.”.
