    My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up

    Lotteries. If people understood odds they’d never buy a ticket, or at least not in the numbers they do.

      They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.

          Please stop with justifying things that are terrible for people and the world. If these items are needed for people with disabilities, you don’t take a natural container, remove it and cover it in plastic. The solution would be to create something that is created once and does the job required indefinitely.

          Oh that makes more sense. But they should wrap the bananas individually so they don’t brown as quick

          Edit: wait, if someone with a disability can’t peel a banana, how will they open this package?

            You may not think it’s not popular and a waste,but that’s because the people who need and buy these items are generally doing their shopping when you’re at school/work.

    Probably a whole bunch of us. Stupidity may result in unwanted and/or unplanned pregnancies.

    Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can’t get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.

      There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting “we’ll tell you if you can get that dumpster open”?

      Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.
