I think this might be one of the most arrogant and carbrained things I've ever seen. These people launch (working!) cars off of a cliff into what should've been a pristine riverbank, complete with leaking oil and fuel and fluids, for...fun? And they cut down over a thousand trees to do it?

What about cleanup? They claim they "meticulously" clean everything up afterwards but...how? How do they retrieve every single piece of debris, every shard of metal and plastic and glass, every single square millimeter of contaminated soil after this?

I think we are devolving. More I talk to people the more I feel they lack simple knowledge. I recently spoke to someone that didn't know what the 4 step water cycle is, I fucking learned that in elementary school.

I think adding the 4 step in front may have confused them. I was only ever taught it was the water cycle it was never called the 4 step cycle, probably because water can kinda do the cycle in whatever step it wants. Some rain becomes ground water, some rain becomes runoff, some rain evaporates shortly after falling all from the same rain storm.

Someone downvoted you, and I can't imagine why. I've never heard it called that either.
