The Darwin Awards

The place to post articles/links for people who have earned a Darwin Award.

A Darwin Award is as follows.

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor that originated in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized via their own actions.

One thing I would like to add to the above-mentioned definition. If the person already has a child before performing the actions, then it would not classify for a Darwin Award.

Rules are quite simple.

  1. Videos of Darwin Award recipients must have a NSFW tag in the title. If they do not, then they will be removed. Regular text articles that do not have graphics images or videos should not need the tag.

  2. All posts and participants must follow and adhere to the lemm.ee instance rules.

Other than these couple of things, happy posting!
