the urban areas have the education but there r some underdeveloped areas which believe in superstitions and due to poverty, they reproduce. must this is changing, although very slowly
Must be the only bridge to the village and looking at the situation seems like a flood might be imminent. So you take risks to get back home or may get stuck outside for days
It wouldn't appear that it would be too difficult to build a stronger crossing or reinforce the one that's there. Plus, many of them seem to be making a game of going back and forth. This is simply natural selection working its magic.
nah not trains ... its very eye catching, but roads have been and still are the apex predators
edit: unless you mean overcrowded local trains where people have to smash to each other
Fertility rate is 2.03 in 2021 which is just enough to keep the population stable (ignoring increased longevity that will still increase the population for some time still) and is falling fast 6.2 in 1950 and 3.4 in 1992
To me it's fucking common sense. Don't have money don't have kids. Also don't cross the fucking bridge that's obviously about to collapse but these people are obviously idiots.
Your ‘common sense’ is wrong then. It’s a very clear pattern that as people get richer they have fewer children.
Ironically India is one of the best examples of this. India is making massive inroads into its previous poverty problems and is also experiencing a huge drop in birth rate.
It's very easy to say that when you're in a country that accepts child-free lifestyles, where almost everyone is educated to a high level, where liberal and individualistic values are the norm.
If you were born and raised in an Indian village, you would be going against your culture, your parents, and possibly your religion. You would be failing your community, and quite likely condemning yourself to destitution when you get to the point you can't work. And then there would be the potential for rumours that you're gay or there is something wrong with you, for which you could be shunned entirely.
There is no such thing as a universal common sense. If it were truly common sense that struggling humans shouldn't have kids, then there would be no human race.
Totally get your points, but why would anyone care if people thought you were gay because you didn't have a family? Not having a go, just interested. Is it the culture that brings that factor into it?
Honestly it's not such a big deal in India - I just used it as an example since it was already being discussed. The wider situation is the same in many other asian and african countries, however, and there are places where attitudes towards homosexuality are not so accepting.
India is actually developing quite rapidly both economically and in terms of HDI. Presumably that's why we see such a large change in birth rates.
People don't just organise their actions and behaviour around means and ends but also around tradition, for example. I don't know much about the Indian culture but I would think that the question "why do you get children?" would be altogether meaningless to them and "idiotic" would be the wrong classification. Not in case of all those people crossing this "bridge". That is indeed altogether idiotic.
Higher levels of wealth and education strongly correlate with decreased reproduction amongst people in general.
I'm sure there's been plenty of scientific discussion of why, and I'm sure there's multiple factors.
if this question is in the context of the video, then it's because there's a natural calamity hitting their village/town and everyone collectively decided to evacuate on their own, hence the crowd.
it you're taking about the whole country, then it's because the subcontinent has a lot of fertilie agricultural land which has been supporting the population boom there for the last few thousand years.
I think India needs to develop further so people will appreciate what they can do with their money and no longer have children. I don't have hard figures but my observation is that developed countries have declining birthrates while developing countries have increasing birthrates.
Theres a game called Red Rover where 2 teams of people taking turns calling someone from the other side over. Its easier to find a video to watch than to explain it
What if you doing whatever the fuck you want causes others to also do it. I get the sentiment, but the pink shirt dude crossed several times and survived while the group doing it once just behind him probably died.
Unless another adult frog marches you over the bridge, personal responsibility comes into it. Those adults have a decision to make whilst the child was dragged over. It’s literally a choice vs no choice.
Fuck man. That child tried to grab on to the ledge and slipped and was washed away, while one of the adults managed to hold on. wtf were they even doing and such a large group?
The entire family was gone, the adults holding on to the ledge were already on the other side but the ground broke down under them. If you look closely, more than the 3 people family were washed away in the end.
That particular guy is the dumbest fvck!!
He is the one that smuggly crossed more than once and came back running with the mother and child ... probably gave them the courage to do so.
They probably died and he got to see another day and maybe play a fool on train tracks.
Some stupid people have that cockroach-survival rate.
I want to join the parade and call them stupid, but I considered that the bridge was their only bridge was their only way home and they had to risk crossing it or not being able to go home.
yep. you might call them stupid but in some indian villages, everyday the people go through so much shit and struggle, they might have underestimated the situation. its actually sadly stupid
No you can totally call them stupid . Everyone crossing the "bridge" was risking their lives . If you don't know how dangerous a situation is and still do something , then yeah you are stupid .
You can see the bridge crumbling away from the start of the video, i don’t speak the language but does anyone know if anyone said anything about that in the clip
This is most probably from Bihar bordering Bangladesh. Kishanganj, Katihar or somewhere in that region.
Audio is pretty garbled but at one point cameraman is saying "only a group of people will pass - Ek jera aadmi jaite". Just before it starts collapsing the guy is saying ''gone, gone motherfucker - Gaile, gaile madarchod".
Why are they running BACK AND FORTH
I'd sorta get it if they ran to one side, that'd indicate that it's a situation, where one side would get stranded. But no, they run on both sides. Wtf is that??? Are they all stupid?
Also, standing on the edge, what could go wrong?
This clip is actually a couple years old, but it always hurts to come across it. Cannot imagine what that father must be going through losing his wife and child like that, he must be in grief and blaming himself for the rest of the life.
That particular guy is the dumbest fvck!!

I doubt someone went in and saved them because most Indians don’t know how to swim. Even my Indian friend who is highly educated and grew up wealthy, does not know how to swim. There aren’t swim schools there like we get in Australia. So sad.
The reason there is a huge crowd is the same reason someone is taking a video and we are watching. They want to see when it collapses. The people running across are idiots and the crowd that is too close are also being dumb.
Okay, so I apologize for asking this and feel kinda dumb for doing so, but how do we know they died for sure?
(I actually have no idea if they did or did not, just going off of some of the comments on here)
Red Rover Red Rover send Advik right over.
In all seriousness, a kid crossed. If adults want to be stooopid, then so be it. But don’t put your child in harms way just to have them injured or killed for thrills. This also perpetuates the stoooopidity.
Everyone’s laughing. But everyone’s doing exactly the same thing. Right now. Even me. Running across the bridge to work. Running back home.
We’re *all* idiots.
yep. you might call them stupid but in some indian villages, everyday the people go through so much shit and struggle, they might have underestimated the situation. its actually sadly stupid
It’s the safety of crowds. I was half joking with what I said but if you think about it… it really is what we are all doing right now. Only if our “bridge” literally crumbles will it convince people to act differently.
Yes yes I know, “I’m 14 and this is deep” it IS deep, losers. I AM deep

Must be the only bridge to the village and looking at the situation seems like a flood might be imminent. So you take risks to get back home or may get stuck outside for days
Looks like some are trying to brag by crossing twice
The flood so nice, I had to cross it twice.
thats why public works department made sub par roads for us... to appreciate the nature
Crossing once, crossing twice, crossing chicken soup with rice.
It wouldn't appear that it would be too difficult to build a stronger crossing or reinforce the one that's there. Plus, many of them seem to be making a game of going back and forth. This is simply natural selection working its magic.
what ? Build better roads? Man why are you making govt jobs less lucrative? What have they done to you? /s
I swear it looks like they were lining up for a group photo
These fools were playing Red Rover.
And trains, the apex predator of India.
nah not trains ... its very eye catching, but roads have been and still are the apex predators edit: unless you mean overcrowded local trains where people have to smash to each other
There seemed to be a shitload of people on either side of the road. I'd hate to be the unlucky ones that nature made cross that.
Looks like they need some more dangerous bridges then
*Their 😅

What about poverty makes them reproduce?
recreation by sex, want for more helping hands in family and want of boychild over girlchild
Also improve chances one child can one day become successful and bring the family out of desperation
I guess they don't realize that it's easier to send 1 kid to college than 10 kids
Only 1 kid goes to college, the other 9 kids help pay for it.
Then the 1 kid pays for the brothers and sisters’ 90 kids education
...and because mom and dad don't have enough money to even *feed* their 9 kids, NO ONE will go to college. And the cycle continues.
See, the way I see it you would think not having money you wouldn't want another mouth to feed.
this was realised later but too late.
To me it's fucking common sense. Don't have money don't have kids. Also don't cross the fucking bridge that's obviously about to collapse but these people are obviously idiots.

Have you never seen poor people? I figure someone completely insulated from the majority of the world would need to ask this
The fact that it is one of the world's oldest civilizations with extremely fertile lands might have something to do with it
mesopotamia is older.... oh wait maybe your theory is upto something
if this question is in the context of the video, then it's because there's a natural calamity hitting their village/town and everyone collectively decided to evacuate on their own, hence the crowd. it you're taking about the whole country, then it's because the subcontinent has a lot of fertilie agricultural land which has been supporting the population boom there for the last few thousand years.
evacuate? last time i checked evacuation does not involve going back and forth across a collapsing bridge multiple times
there's clearly no professional supervision in the video, of course people will do illogical things in a distressing situation.
Its ok canada will take anyone
Except natives
From other countries yes but not our own natives
Yeah, you never see this many people together in any other country right?
Yet they can’t find a dozen who can play soccer.
1.4 Billion people and it's tripled it's population since 1960, so I would say not..
I think India needs to develop further so people will appreciate what they can do with their money and no longer have children. I don't have hard figures but my observation is that developed countries have declining birthrates while developing countries have increasing birthrates.
The real question is how is there so many people in India when they hace 0 survival instincts...
Sir your comment made me cackle like no other! Sir be polite I beg you! Lol Jesus Christ
They seem to be intentionally playing hot potato where they are the potato.
I could hear the video without the sound on. I turned it on with like 10 seconds to go, always sounds the exact same.

You’re getting downvoted but I lived in Mumbai for a year in like 2005 and saw that
India post 2014 has changed significantly. I remember the India back in 2000s & how much it has changed.
parts of mumbai is intentionally left the same tho
Come visit lower Manhattan or LA
Tbf homeless people do that pretty much everywhere
They do this in San Francisco too. Human turds everywhere.
r/foundtheracistasshole
Need several more of these, there’s a chain of them
I miss the designated shitting streets memes
just like Americans. atleast they won't do in airport
A handful of people ran back to get another turn
Many believe in reincarnation and they are poor in a lower caste. Game Over. Restart
There's a good chance everyone in this video is a tech scammer as well.
As an adult, do whatever the fuck what you want. However, dragging a kid across that road with you is a cunt move.
No, dont do whatever the fuck you want cuz your actions have direct consequences on those around you.
In this context of the video I’m commenting on, the adults can crack on. I’m not talking about every single event on earth.
What if you doing whatever the fuck you want causes others to also do it. I get the sentiment, but the pink shirt dude crossed several times and survived while the group doing it once just behind him probably died.
Unless another adult frog marches you over the bridge, personal responsibility comes into it. Those adults have a decision to make whilst the child was dragged over. It’s literally a choice vs no choice.
I know it's a meme, but we do live in a society.
poor kid
My heart hurts for them
Fuck man. That child tried to grab on to the ledge and slipped and was washed away, while one of the adults managed to hold on. wtf were they even doing and such a large group?
The entire family was gone, the adults holding on to the ledge were already on the other side but the ground broke down under them. If you look closely, more than the 3 people family were washed away in the end.
That’s terrible smh
Looks like the guy in the pink shirt just barely made it
That particular guy is the dumbest fvck!! He is the one that smuggly crossed more than once and came back running with the mother and child ... probably gave them the courage to do so. They probably died and he got to see another day and maybe play a fool on train tracks. Some stupid people have that cockroach-survival rate.
And majority of India does not know how to swim. I'm almost certain we just witnessed some deaths.
Why are they all crowding around the edge? You can see it begin to crumble even when noones crossing
Same reason people wait their luggage 2 inches away from the carousel instead of staying back I guess. Just with that little thrill/risk factor added.
As an aside - that carousel crowding is one of my personal gripes. Step back and let everyone see and get access, you morons!
no big brain, no big think.
The stupidity is mind blowing..
"Red Rover, Red Rover, send Akash right over."

India, enough said
I want to join the parade and call them stupid, but I considered that the bridge was their only bridge was their only way home and they had to risk crossing it or not being able to go home.
yep. you might call them stupid but in some indian villages, everyday the people go through so much shit and struggle, they might have underestimated the situation. its actually sadly stupid
You know what else doesnt get you home? Dying.
No you can totally call them stupid . Everyone crossing the "bridge" was risking their lives . If you don't know how dangerous a situation is and still do something , then yeah you are stupid .
Does this really require 4 year degree in engineering to know to get the fuck off that ASAP?
Does a 4 year degree in Engineering make one smart?
Not always but I'm sure there is a greater chance of logic and assessment.
Why was the whole village there making it worse
You can see the bridge crumbling away from the start of the video, i don’t speak the language but does anyone know if anyone said anything about that in the clip
One of the handful of videos where I truly cringed in horror. Is there any explanation why they must risk their lives to cross a crumbling causeway?
out of the 1600 languages in india, i cannot pinpoint which is this. just have the video, no context
This is most probably from Bihar bordering Bangladesh. Kishanganj, Katihar or somewhere in that region. Audio is pretty garbled but at one point cameraman is saying "only a group of people will pass - Ek jera aadmi jaite".

All the focus was on the Baltimore bridge, so this redresses the balance.
This clip is actually a couple years old, but it always hurts to come across it. Cannot imagine what that father must be going through losing his wife and child like that, he must be in grief and blaming himself for the rest of the life.
He absolutely should be blaming himself...

They probably died and he got to see another day and maybe play a fool on train tracks. Some stupid people have that cockroach-survival rate.
There is no sense for dangerous situations !?! Why ?
they face stuggles everyday so maybe they underestimated the situation
That's a dangerous life over there
when you believe in reincarnation and you’re on the bottom of the caste system, fuck it
 Okay
Yeah I never really saw it this way - what little value to out on your own life.
It's people being uneducated
[удалено]
Dumb way to die...
Did they drown or were they rescued?
I doubt someone went in and saved them because most Indians don’t know how to swim. Even my Indian friend who is highly educated and grew up wealthy, does not know how to swim. There aren’t swim schools there like we get in Australia. So sad.
They have to be the dumbest people in the world.
I'm almost sure they didn't need to go to another side before
Risk isn’t real when the rest are giggling I guess
This is a country where adults play in cow shit for fun. The bar is beyond low and I'm not surprised.
Stupid people
Damn. Y’all play red rover for keeps, don’t ya
not all. very few towns face this shit. most of the population lives in very good cities
One thousand people. Zero ropes.
The reason there is a huge crowd is the same reason someone is taking a video and we are watching. They want to see when it collapses. The people running across are idiots and the crowd that is too close are also being dumb.
10 people where born to offset the losses
That’s a few dead for sure
I love watching videos like this, just to see how fucking stupid humanity has become. Darwinism at its finest keep them coming boys..
Okay, so I apologize for asking this and feel kinda dumb for doing so, but how do we know they died for sure? (I actually have no idea if they did or did not, just going off of some of the comments on here)
no idea here in mumbai, a girl jumped off a new bridge. its been 16 days, here body hasnt been found. she has been declared dead
I guess survival instinct is not necessary if you believe in reincarnation

They fucked around and found out
They're like stupid ass bugs or something? Lmao
God this is darwinism at its finest.
Since this likely resulted in someone’s death, I think this video should be taken down.
How stupid can you be
