Dumbass of the Day

Did she have "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" on her MP3 player?

That must have been very traumatic for her husband and child.

...so we tanned her hide when she died, Clyde, and that's it hanging on the shed. All together now..."

Good on you, mate.

I suppose this is normal but the older I get, the greater fear of heights I have.

Well...did she get the shot?? I want to see what was worth dying over.

[quote] Witnesses heard Loomba screaming, but were unable to help.

So she was still alive and yelling for help?

Is that "the incredible view" at op? Kinda meh if you ask me.

Congratulations, r8: everyone is just SO impressed with how jaded you are.

All the way down, R7, all the way down......

She could have won a Darwin Award if she hadn't already procreated.

Another Picnic at Hanging Rock.

The stupid sow was 38 ! Not 18 ,38 ! Tells you all you need to know about her,doesnt it ?

If she had life insurance, will it pay out? Hmm.

I'll miss her

A long ago vacation and we were staying in Yellowstone National Park at "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone". I was up very early and drove out of the lodging area and went to the park overlook of the Falls. It was very quiet with a mist still in the area, but I was surprised to find that there was already a car in the parking lot when I arrived.

I parked the car and made my way along the short trail to the overlook point. I arrived to find an Asian family already there. Mother, father and at least one child.

Dad had climbed over the sturdy fence (which was there to prevent nitwits like him from falling), was hanging on to the fence with one hand as he leaned out over the drop to the canyon below and aimed his camera with one hand in an attempt to get a photo that was available on a multitude of postcards for a few cents from any gift shop in the park.

Living her best li...

The article was way too long. All it needed to say was, "A woman."

Rosy was a passionate woman.

She followed the philosophy of Auntie Name. 'Life is a banquet and sad little scared people are starving'.

A warning to anyone who thought they'd come to Australia and try this: in Sydney the cliffs are almost exclusively sandstone, which the locals know is famous for having great slabs sheer off at the least provocation when it gets a bit tired. The authorities who build the guard rails are aware of this, so stay behind them.

[Australia will get you every which way but Covid.]

Stupid fucking cow. The worst thing is that her stupidity tied up State Emergency Services for six hours retrieving her body which could have been spent helping other, probably less selfish, people.

Fuck off trying to get your Insta shot, fools.

"Witnesses heard Loomba screaming"

Maybe that was when her husband was trying to push her off? I'm always suspicious when people take vacations to remote locales and something tragic happens. If you're going to kill someone you don't do it in the town square.

R22 it’s a standard lookout / Insta location - just another case of narcissists trying for that perfect shot.

Fuck them.

My parents have always told me if I don't have anything good to say about the dead, don't say anything at all.

This stupid axe-wound is dead. Good!

[quote]Police said Loomba climbed past safety barriers and warning signs, to pose on a rock for a photo

[quote]Police and the state emergency service worked for six hours to scale the cliff and retrieve her body

The police have to jeopardize their own lives in order to save the corpse of an idiot. They should have left her body there to be consumed by nature. Maybe that would deter some of these fools.

If you don’t have anything nice to say - come and sit right by me,

R7 there's a recording of it

What a stupid way to die. She'll never be able to hold her head up in Hell. The rest of us will side-eye her and snicker.

SPLAT ...

There is a small rock in the water 30-40 ft . from the precipice of Niagara Falls . Always see Asians taking selfies .

People do this all of the time at Yosemite. Taking photos at the precarious edges of Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls, etc. It's a miracle that more people don't die this way.

She was an ass, but she couldn't live forever.

Sometimes natural selection takes a while to kick in.

Did this take place in Darwin, Australia?

When trying to flex on Instagram goes wrong.

No, R33, it took place in Darwin, South Dakota.

The husband did it.

I’ve seen a lot of crime shows.

When we'd be taking pictures on overlooks, my dad would always laugh about the scene in Auntie Mame where her husband Beau takes a picture, and keeps going back further and further until he falls over a cliff. This reminded me of that.

The straights often throw their frauen from great heights.

R37, meet R19.

Was she listening to Dusty singing "No Easy Way Down" at the time?

Right over r35’s head.

At least she’s gone viral now. More people have commented on this post than would have seen her Insta post.

The dead woman's surname is onamatopoeia for the sound of falling of a cliff.

Loomba, loomba, loomba.

I had a feeling she was Indian.

Indians are always doing such things - must get the best photo to show all our extended family how wonderful we are!

Would a person have done this 30-40 years ago? I don’t think so. She’s a product of the age we’re living in. People are more stupid, reckless and careless nowadays.

Everyone is always trying to outdo each other with the "stupid axe wound gash cunt bitch fuck woman cunt" stuff but literally every person I have ever known like this, including my father, has been a guy. My mom got to the point that she just started filming when he would climb over security ropes and fences so she could have it on video in case the emergency services had to be called.

Part of the problem in modern cases is that so many people do these things to show off on IG or TikTok that it gives others a sense of security that really isn't there.

[quote]Would a person have done this 30-40 years ago? I don’t think so.

Of course they did, you fucking moron. Over 1000 people have died in Yosemite alone in the last 200 years, many doing foolish things they weren't supposed to.

Christ, people say the dumbest fucking shit on DL just to sound like they have deep thoughts about the modern age.

[quote] Over 1000 people have died in Yosemite alone in the last 200 years.

Yosemite Park Service says 51 climbers died in the park between 1970 and 1990.

r37's dad was gay.

R49 Especially if he started off with, "You could practically write a whole book about what happened to me."

Social media is an amusement park for narcissists

I’m on the edge, THE EDGE, THHEEEE EDDDGEEEE, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Was she singing "Valdaree, valdera?"

I love the laughing part.

[quote]Witnesses heard Loomba screaming, but were unable to help.

If only I'd been there!

"Witnesses heard Loomba screaming, but were unable to help"

...since none of them could fly.

What a stupid sentence.

I can only imagine how secretly delighted her husband must be. He probably prayed for “god” to kill the fat cow, and now she’s dead.

[quote]They should have left her body there to be consumed by nature. Maybe that would deter some of these fools.

In my experience, that kind of deterrence doesn't work.

I'm a dumbass too because I had no idea Australia had mountain ranges. I thought it had a few big rocks, and that's it.

I hate her and I don’t even know her.

OMG Now I've googled and see they have ski resorts in Australia. I had no idea. New Zealand I knew.

I guess it was the perfect selfie.

Everything's not looking so "Rosy" now, toots!

OMG R44 how did you know? I googled her image - she was Indian!

Gravity Versus Humans - The Record Standing:

Gravity- 189,324,977,266, 693

Humans- 0

lol, r55 - a well deployed Wahlberg joke still can be effective.

Dear Humans,

"Boundary issues". Ever heard of them? Well, we've got them, too. And if you violate ours, we'll show you who's boss. But really, how often must we show you?

Sincerely,

Gravity, Everest, Sub-Zero Temps on behalf-of Matter

Rosy, would you mind doing the needful and falling off the cliff?

R63 Ever since Indians have emigrated to Australia and New Zealand over the past 10 - 15 years in large numbers, whenever there is some idiotic accident, it tends to turn out to be Indians.

There are hundreds of dumbasses everyday somewhere on the coastline around Australia who risk their lives doing rock fishing.

OMG, r1. How old are you?

Don't be embarrassed, R59. There are a small number of ski resorts in the highlands of Victoria and New South Wales, but the continent is so old that the mountains have been eroded away to very short by world standards. Add to that the ridiculously short winters. Your well-to-do Australian keen on ski-ing always aims for the US or France/Switzerland once a year.

The highest mountain in Australia is 7310 feet, and there's only one that high (compared with Everest's 29,000 and around 14,000 at the major Swiss ski resorts).

I'm not who you refer to as fucking moron but your post is stupid since you tell us over 1K people have died in Yosemite (where this incident did not take place, of course), in 200 years, "many" doing foolish things. But how many people actually died doing "foolish" things? Can you pull that statistic out of your ass, because that's the important one. I assume people die there from falls climbing El Capitan, or from heart attacks, and strokes, or food poisoning, or car accidents, or are murdered, etc.

[quote]R37's dad is gay

R49 Good joke, but Auntie Mame was the 2nd highest grossing film of 1958 so not just the gays enjoyed it.

Sorry, not even witches can defy gravity.

[quote]a well deployed Wahlberg joke still can be effective.

I'll never get tired of mocking that meathead. He gives Massholes a bad name.

[quote] Would a person have done this 30-40 years ago?

There probably weren't as many selfie deaths. There have always been camera-crazy people who just have to have that 'one shot,' but it wasn't something they immediately uploaded or developed. Instagram has kinda wreaked havoc on a lot of popular nature destinations.

[quote]Would a person have done this 30-40 years ago?

There's a lot of weird death-defying stuff done by average people now. People don't seem as sensible, tbh.

Are we sure it wasn't the husband taking the picture saying 'Just a little further back honey.'

Oomba loomba doo-be-dee-do

I've got another puzzle for you

What do you get when your wife is a twat?

Falling off cliffs, without a thought...

R78 Vaudeville is alive and well and living on Datalounge. Terrific!

Hey, knock it the hell off with all of the hatred and criticism already, willya?! I own one of those things, and let me tell you, it keeps all of my household carpeting spic and span!

I, for one, LOVE my Losy Roomba!
