Is this a photo from the article the other day about the idiot who got too close to a wild cat?

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Was actually posted to !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world and in my opinion, highly on topic but the mods there are anti-fun :<

Are you not impressed with her amazing Instagram shot?

[–] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 30 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

With context of what happened and the whole leopards ate my face meme it is actually an incredible shot.

I guess. I could take a photo of me about to clumsily fall off a cliff that would be pretty cool until I have to explain that the photo damn near cost me my life.

There are an alarming number of cliff deaths related to people wanting to get selfies.

edit: oh god, there's a wikipage on the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths

I'm sure. I heard about a local one early on in the smartphone era.

But you'll have a cool anecdote to tell people for the rest of your life.

So, this one time, I was an actual moron and tried to win the Darwin Awards by being eaten alive by a wild animal, but instead I accidentally got this picture and a serious injury. Fucking sweet, right bro?

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Nope I don't use instagram and the day the story broke I never saw it posted here.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I was joking. I find the image a monument to stupidity

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

No argument here.

[–] Aonifall@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

And that was the last picture she took
