      They’re going to have to put a “Do Not Try This at Home” disclaimer on *Subway Surfers*.

      I know there aren’t many radical swells in New York, but you should instead go to the Jersey shore for surfing if you need it. Don’t try surfing on random objects like subways.

      Two girls die doing stupid shit that literally everyone with a brain should know not to do.

      I found this part of the story to be very interesting:

      > Norma Nazario, whose 15-year-old son Zackery died in 2023, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against ByteDance, TikTok and Meta in 2024.

      > She told NBC News NOW that her son was introduced to “subway surfing” on social media. Zackery died after his head struck a beam while he rode atop a train that was traveling over the Williamsburg Bridge.

      > The lawsuit says that the social media companies “intentionally design and develop their products to encourage, enable, and push material to teens and children that Defendants know to be problematic and highly detrimental to their minor users’ mental and physical health.”

      > “Zackery Nazario did not open or use a TikTok or Instagram to search for dangerous challenges,” the lawsuit says.

      > It alleges that “by product design,” the platforms directed videos to him about subway surfing. Shortly thereafter, he climbed on top of a Brooklyn-bound J train, struck the low beam, fell in between the cars and onto the tracks and was run over by the train, the lawsuit says.

      > The case is pending.

      > Meta, ByteDance and TikTok denied the allegations when responding to an amended complaint filed last month.

    5. My living room window is at eye level about 10 feet away with the 7 train here in nyc. I see kids on top of the train daily. Its awful

      Kids, just don’t. Please don’t do it. It’s not worth it. Learn how to fly an airplane instead. Seriously, if you want a rush, that is the place you can easily get it, along with lifelong stories you can impress anybody with.

    7. And your presidents not distracting you ..

      Don’t forget what matters .. don’t let America die

      People blaming social media are at least as dumb as those kids surfing the train
