Oh, wow. I thought they’d just pretend and stand in front of it in their bathing suits for the 'gram, but they actually went in, eh? Oh well.

Don’t subestimate the stupidity of the average instragram influencer. There was an incident in russia where several of those died because they decided to bathe in a pool filled with dry ice.

Worst part, you can still see the video posted, which leads me to believe someone will think is cool and WILL ATTEMPT IT IN THE FUTURE.

A foreign tourist dug a deep hole on Copacabana beach and ended up buried. The poor traveler had to be rescued by lifeguards and beachgoers, while a crowd of social media influencers filmed his ordeal.

I thought I was going to die, declared the British tourist, relieved that he had not succumbed to the hole he had dug in the sands of Copacabana beach.

IIRC, a child was eaten by a sand dune in Michigan. I will research this and edit as needed.

Weird “Bonus:”
I’m hip to an entirely different Mount Baldy.

Whenever my Coliforniyahn BF and I had a serious argument, we’d get in the car w/o a word, and drive up Mt Baldy. We took Euclid as far as we could: we were on the first block of Rosewood Ct, across Euclid from Chaffey High. Usually we’d have resolved it by the time we neared the summit; the rest of the time, everything was OK again before we reached the base.

Tourist massification, in a single image:

(In 2024, Brazil received 6.8 million tourists. The Balearic Archipelago¹ received 18.7 million in the same period of time)

¹ The balearic archipelago is comprised of the pitiuses (aka Ibiza, formentera and some small islands) and the Gimnesies (Majorca, Menorca, and some other islands). In catalan the Gimnesies are commonly refered as Balears. In the rest of the world, Balears is the whole archipelago.

Really don’t understand what goes through people’s minds when they do stuff like this, or hang off of old statues, etc.
