Current Events > Gender Reveal parties should be added to the list of natural disasters

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sometime in 2011, a young mother was jogging in the park and reached a fork in the road. Normally, she went down one path, but she went down the other since this snail had been on her normal route. Why she specifically avoided walking down the snail's path is unknown. Was she afraid of them? Or felt a sense of danger from it? Whatever the case may be, the snail caused her to switch paths. The woman reported to a senior citizen who was familiar to her that she chose a different path to avoid the snail. This led her to the site of her murder by a girl.

One day, about a month later, a man was falsely accused of being the killer. He claimed innocence, but the jury still found him guilty. The verdict could not be overturned and he was executed. As a result of this, the man's wife took her own life in despair. The couple left behind two young children.

The accused man called a taxi soon before his arrest, but as a result of his arrest, the taxi did not pick him up but instead picked up another fare, a surgeon who had been scheduled to operate on a young boy. The taxi was involved in a lethal accident that killed the driver, the surgeon, and by extension, the boy the surgeon was supposed to operate on. This accident would not have happened had the driver picked up the accused man.

All of this because of the actions of a single snail. This snail indirectly caused the deaths of 6,000,000,000 humans and massive amounts of chaos and suffering.

Gender reveal parties are ignorant to begin with.

probably should.

there's the safe way and ways that impact human life/property

including that forest fire incident.

They're disasters but not natural ones

The snail's motives are...............complex.

I thought that snail thing sounded familiar.

A New Hampshire familys gender reveal party was such a blast that it set off reports of an earthquake, and could be heard from across the state line, police said.

Police in Kingston, a town not far from the Massachusetts border, received reports of a loud explosion Tuesday evening. They responded to Torromeo quarry where they found people who acknowledged holding a gender reveal party with explosives.

The source of the blast was 80 pounds (36 kilograms) of Tannerite, police said. The family thought the quarry would be the safest spot to light the explosive, which is typically sold over the counter as a target for firearms practice, police said.

Nearby residents said the blast rocked their homes and some reported property damage, NBC 10 Boston reported.

We heard this God-awful blast, Sara Taglieri, who lives in a home that abuts the quarry, told the television station. It knocked pictures off our walls Im all up for silliness and whatnot, but that was extreme.

Taglieris husband, Matt, told the TV station that neighbours reported cracks in the foundation of their homes from the explosion.

No injuries were reported, police said. The person who bought and detonated the explosives has turned himself in to police. He was not identified.

"It's a girl!"

"Hi mom and dad. guess what we got the tests back and what the gender is. wanna know what it is?"
"Sure!"
"It's a boy!"

no fire. no explosions. no death.

Life is simply unfair, don't you think?
