        Bored people give themselves a bunch of painful shocks and when that isn’t enough to feel alive they increase the amperage of the shocks. Really the perfect metaphor of all of us using doomscrolling on social media.

        Right? People who are like ‘lol men r dumb’ are the dumb ones. It’s a social experiment, now a Saw puzzle.

          Yeah its a low risk experiment. On par with poking an animal corpse with a stick, it makes sense that a solid number of men would immediately go with poke it with a stick. Also it kinda makes sense from an evolutionary point of view that men would be more prone to checking things that are low risk out, one man can make a lot of babies at a time while one woman can only make one baby at a time.

          I am now curious if the rate is similar for tans folks.

    The fact that 25% of women did do it and 25% of men didn’t is fascinating to me. What are your favorite explanations here?

    I’m going with 25% of people of either gender are just sort of contrarians to their own gender and thus did what they think the opposite one would do. I feel like I would do that.
