The Darwin award doesn't just mean the person died from their own stupidity, it means they did the world a favor and removed themselves from the gene pool before passing on their genes. By that note, people who are unable to reproduce also cannot be eligible for the award. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 8 months ago (1 child) I'm a parent too, and that's exactly why I am glad his disgusting voice was silenced in the most public and ironic way possible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 months ago (1 child) Sorry for ambiguity, I meant this in the context of Darwin award permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago Ah yeah good edit, I wasn't even considering that you could have meant it that way.

Given their reasoning, I think Kirk would qualify. And given that his whole brand was about spreading stupid dangerous ideas to everybody's kids including his own, and then he died in a spectacularly ironic and public way, I think he should actually win one! https://darwinawards.com/rules/rules.children.html permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago I mean, maybe.
