It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.
And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
then why is it so popular there
Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you've got lots of people interested in their "heritage"
Since most people in the US can't say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know "where they came from" so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.
I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they're from, so I don't need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don't feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.
I totally get it if it's not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of "ooh let's find out where our families came from" isn't present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it's part of that whole "melting pot" ideology, but I'm just some rando on the internet.
Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.
...... So you're saying there's a chance?
In real life:
Staring out of my apartment window
see woman trying to open locked gate to the construction site across the street
do nothing because I don't give a shit
keep staring out of my apartment window
NYS rangers
How did I miss that part? That's on me.
Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren't as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.
A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn't have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)
This whole time I've been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training...
That's the point.
Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.
Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.
The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.
The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.
The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don't think about it again. So do the people who don't know and/or care.
But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because "look at all these wrong people"
It's all designed to boost engagement.
I'm sure their massively inflated budget can handle it. Presumably the hikers pay their taxes.
Taken to police..... For wasting their time? I'm confused what actual harm they did.
Oh no they ate a fungus. Hardened criminals. Probably ms13. Gotta deport them now.
doesn't work out
Hot damn, what an absolute piece of shit garbage human being.

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don't use the official front-end.
It must be the author's first day on the internet.
If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.
