Nah I know of the song I was just thinking you were referencing something. It sounds like a line from a tv show, maybe schitts creek? I don’t know. I thought you were referencing that but I guess you just gave me deja vu

Not THAT stu- ... wait, nevermind. When I was about 10, my dumb ass decided I wanted to touch the tippy-most-top leaf on a tree that was more than 3 stories up (I knew that it was at least that high because I could see onto the flat roof of a 3-story apartment building nearby). Made it near the top, so I'm proud of that, but then a branch broke under one of my feet and I fell all the way down, landing flat on my back onto grass. I'm very lucky to have survived, and even luckier that it was with no severe injuries. Hurt like hell though.

I fell out of a tree and sprained my wrist pretty bad. Hid that from my mom for 2 days, lol.

I burned an entire wall of a church, borrowed from another denomination, out of boredom because I found a kitchen lighter in the potluck area and sermon was about an hour long.
I lit the Sunday church kids' drawings on the wall.
Edit. I was SDA. Same shit, just on a Saturday instead of Sunday.
I was around 10. Lit the corners, "put" it out, and took nap. Woke up to fire alarms and smoke. I guess fireproof crayons weren't a big thing back then, and I acquired many fuck ups past that.

There's levels of stupidity.
I'd argue that most people have done ill-advised stuff. Or messed around, or did silly things. Some people just go for even more stupid stuff to do than others do.

I feel like this is one of those scenarios where a DM would way over-represent the threat of this situation because they saw Million Dollar Baby one time 20 years ago, and assign any roll under 10 to be an instant neck-breaking death for the player falling from 5 feet off the ground in the mighty desk tower collapse of NorthwestMathClass-ia 😆

Just because you're successful in an academic setting, doesn't mean you aren't a moron. There are a lot of ways to be smart, and there are a lot of ways to be dumb. Maybe this person is a total math whiz-they obviously haven't got a lick of common sense.

When I got my masters, I almost ripped the plaster off my wall because I forgot to look for a stud to hang the degree. I do dumb stuff all the time. I’m a highly educated moron.

No, I just got this big wooden frame for it because I was all proud of it and also forgot to measure it before I went to shop for a frame.

Trust me, my first year college math class had an average of 60%. I got a 98 because I completed the exam in 1/6th the time and didn’t care to re-check. Being in a college math class is not even a statement of mathematics ability let alone a statement of general intelligence.

The memories will last forever though. I remember when the teacher would leave the room in 6th grade for us, we would climb on top of the lockers. Just rows of kids all standing on lockers touching the ceiling. It was a "what we were thinking?" moment now but hilarious to think back on.

Those chairs look flimsy. Seems to share legs with the desk. Should've taken that into account.

Naw, the chairs weren't the failure point. The issue is that the desk he's standing on starts right on the edge of the desk below, and then he wiggles.

I'm just amused that there are hardly any people wondering how this kid pulled all this off DURING a math class.
I'm not THAT old, just in my mid 30s, but I don't remember people pulling this kind of stuff during class in my days as a student in the public US education system.
I really am not hopeful for the future of this country.
