There is no shortage of stupid people in the world. 2017 is still brand new but we may have already found our winner for stupidest trend of the year.

After instructions on how to break your thumb ligaments were tweeted on January 2nd, bored millennials grabbed hold of their thumbs and tried it out.

Like a bunch of idiots, these fools tweeted pictures of their broken thumb ligaments asking for instructions on repairing them.

I have broken several ligaments from playing sports. Let me tell you, it isn’t a fun healing process and has always eventually led to surgery each time. Now that I’m older this has caused me to have arthritis. These idiots are going to feel the pain from this for quite a long time.

The video below details the stupidity of those who actually followed the instructions.

Parents and teachers are failing if these young people will follow any instructions and harm themselves simply because they are bored. And how did they think they were going to repair the ligament? Just reading another meme wouldn’t do this. They clearly don’t understand basic biology!

Share this if you think it’s the dumbest trend of 2017!
