I always thought the Darwin award stuff was distasteful, but please use your brain and common sense before you modify your extremely unsafe transportation device to go literally five times faster than it's supposed to.

It's especially great when you get to the part about how "e-unicycles had been known to shut down while in motion, catapulting the rider off". They probably shouldn't even be able to get to 30 km/h. Even 10 km/h is not a speed I would like to be unexpectedly catapulted off a vehicle at. Seems like these things aren't really designed to be used as a mode of transit.

Stopping suddenly is certainly a danger but when I hear "can do 0 - 126km/h in under 4 seconds" I also have to wonder how fast a unicycle needs to accelerate for the rider to be thrown off right at the start. Modifying your unicycle so it becomes a very expensive banana peel.

I'm pretty sure there are tribes in PNG that eat deceased people as part of funeral rites. Sometimes they get scary diseases

*edit* the disease is called kuru

Some of them, but I think cannibalism with them was more tied to warfare and religion.

I knew someone who worked as a nurse in that area during the eighties, and her stories were amazing. She told me that some of the peoples she had met practiced cannibalism within their lifetime, or at least within living memory, but even back then it was something deeply tied up in ritual and warfare. She said that she was more involved in treating arrow wounds and childbirth than anything like that.

Biden's claims sound more like a family story that you hear as a kid and take for granted, like how my family is sure that they invented the stroopwafel if only they had the paperwork to prove it....

There probably would have been plenty of tribes in PNG that still ritually practiced things like cannibalism during WWII. Its interior really was very isolated until relatively recently.

The insane part is claiming, for no reason, that your uncle was personally eaten by cannibals when that's not actually the case, and would have been extremely unlikely even if he had been captured by a PNG tribe.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I mean it's still one of the most isolated places on earth. The story's obviously bullshit though
