Most USians live in a virtual debtors prison due to medical bankruptcy and student loan debt. It is in no way a first world country, they don't even have public healthcare.

Yay my completely random hobby is useful to answer a question on the internet!

So when you carve a bow, you do a process called tillering. You mount the proto-bow in a clamping system of some kind, some put it on a table others mount it on a wall, then for example attach string to the tips and run it through pulleys so you can attach precise amounts of weight to it and see how the bow flexes under tension (some people just use something more primitive that looks like a crossbow stock that has incremental notches to secure the string in step by step, but the idea's the same). Make note of places it's not bending adequately and remove more wood there.

Repeat until the draw length is what it should be under a given force pulling the limbs back, and until the limbs all curve uniformly.

If you watch the limbs on the gif, you can see it flexes a ton just above and below the riser (the bit you hold onto), while the rest of the limb stays mostly straight and stiff. That means all of that strain/force/energy is being stored in those tiny pivot points instead of distributed all along the limb, and it's guaranteed that eventually the wood will fail at those points.

Wasnt it a dead rat? Who cares. Also I guess there's a bunch of moral outrage about some obvious joke post about eating 50 thousand Tide pods.

Logan Paul's fanbase skews really young. I think that's a compounding factor in deciding whether or not his dead rat tazing video is hosed up or not.

I largely agree though, I'd never heard of this guy before last month and I feel overexposed already.

Kids are stupid, parents don't moderate what they're doing online, and kids mimic what they see online to be cool with their friends. There's a reason that all of the massively popular youtubers do stupid voices/massively exaggerate reactions/generally act unsufferable - kids latch onto it and it becomes their definition of funny. So when pewdiepie says some dumb racist bullshit, logan paul zaps animals with tazers and makes fun of someone who killed themselves, etc that skips right through the "is this ok" filter that kids haven't built yet and goes straight to "lol xd holy poo poo this is dope af" territory. Since there's nobody around to say "hey this poo poo is hosed up" and all they have is a youtube comments section that's clearly the pinnacle of human discourse there's a legit worry that this kind of poo poo is not good.

tl;dr kids are dumb parents suck burn down everything
