It's not like they were going to apply a shock that would do damage. Fuck it.

100% what went through my head when I asked myself if I would also do it.

Right? People who are like 'lol men r dumb' are the dumb ones. It's a social experiment, now a Saw puzzle.

Yeah its a low risk experiment. On par with poking an animal corpse with a stick, it makes sense that a solid number of men would immediately go with poke it with a stick. Also it kinda makes sense from an evolutionary point of view that men would be more prone to checking things that are low risk out, one man can make a lot of babies at a time while one woman can only make one baby at a time.

I am now curious if the rate is similar for tans folks.
