I think I'd be questioning my life choices if I was part of a profession that people loathe so much that a video of someone getting horrifically bodied by a metal slide elicits absolutely zero sympathy just because the person in it is also a member of that profession.
This video has become a viral meme on Twitter/X, Bluesky, TikTok, and Threads. And folks on Mastodon have absolutely no idea it happened, I haven't seen it even mentioned.
Say what you will about this making Mastodon "better", it sure isn't the place to be if you want to know wtf your friends are talking about.
