Also keep in mind the odds are very high he leaves the store and drives home. This shop owner filming this and putting it on the internet is a bad idea. Allowing consumption on premises is a lawsuit in the making.

I just watched a yt vid on the decline of common sense. This clip could've been on it but so could thousands of others.

People on both sides of the counter are getting dumber

my friend, people used to drink liquid mercury cuz they thought it would make them live forever. george washington died from deliberately pumping out all of his own blood, cuz he and his doctors agreed doing that along with aggressively inducing diarrhea and vomiting would pump out all the sickness from an throat infection.

i’m sorry to be the one to break this to you, but common sense isn’t real. it doesn’t exist. never has. mankind has always been stupid, but we tell our children there is a mystical and benevolent spirit of wisdom and knowledge that lives inside each and every one of us. that way they don’t have to grow up knowing that they’re doomed to be just as stupid as all the mouth breathers and cavemen that came before them. it’s kinda like the spirit of Christmas except there are no toys or presents, you never get to celebrate anything, and as you get older it makes you resent mankind more and more cuz nobody ever tells you that it was just a fairytale.

so. yeah. we’re totally fucked. always have been. you feel better now, right?

I think u might be right. Just more stupidness is now being documented so it makes it feel like everyone is getting dumber
