Sure…it’s fun. But also feels disingenuous in a way. People are rocking the machines in an attempt to get a free soda are killed. This is compared against unprovoked shark attacks. Probably a fairer comparison if you only count unprovoked vending machine deaths too then.
Sigh, ruining fun facts. ;(
- peanut_worm 5y agoThat implies that there are a lot of provoked shark attacks I bet the sum of provoked and unprovoked shark attacks is still less than the unprovoked and provoked soda machine deaths ;)
- slavboj 5y agoOverworked and underpaid shark attacks
- InfiniteRand 5y agoPerfect solution: soda machines can pay the sharks to increase attacks thus reducing the prominence of their own murderous agenda
- xrd 5y agoIt's so simple it's brilliant. Who has all the money and is being robbed? Vending machines. They want to fight back but keep getting attacked in the liberal AND conservative media. Who has all the teeth but no money? Sharks.
- cryptoz 5y agoI don't think there's such a thing as "unprovoked shark attacks". First, it's called an encounter now, not an attack, and that change is relevant to the question at hand. When sharks hurt people, I think it is typically the people that have invaded the home of the shark (and thus provoked it) and not the other way around (and thus unprovoked). There are no shark attacks when humans are minding their own business on land.
- bbarnett 5y agoThat's the same as saying a shark will attack, any place it can get to you at! Next you'll be saying all bear attacks are due to me not standing in the ocean. You know, animals have personalities too. Some are just asshats. I knew a dog that was an asshat. Smug bastard. Could see it in his eyes. Doesn't mean all dogs are!
