    Last time I saw this post I said it reminded me of this picture of a snake that was electrocuted after biting a wire, and then another snake that was electrocuted after biting the first snake.

    This one resonates with me more because the first snake was probably an idiot who saw the wire and thought, “I’m gonna bite that other snake.” Then he died from it.

    Second snake comes along, sees the first snake, has the exact same thought, then dies in the exact same way.

    Except the second snake was right. But the first snake’s stupidity still killed him.
