The internet is a weird place, a hub of information where you can find the reservoir of knowledge, but also has the dumbest people gaining immense popularity for their stupidity as well.
If you have used the internet around the early 2010s then there is a high chance that you must be aware of what internet challenges are. Some being fun but most being a manhole filler with danger, the internet challenge invites people to perform a set of tasks that are fun and fascinating.
Many of these challenges go viral on social media, especially among teens and youngsters, these challenges have done more harm than good. Some of the challenges, like the cinnamon challenge and choking challenge, have people being admitted to the hospitals.
While some might not seem dangerous, many of these challenges have names that should give off a warning, such as bleach drinking challenge, poop in face challenges, cactus eating challenge, bug-eating challenge, and taser challenge.
While some internet challenges have been international sensations, like the Momo challenge and blue whale challenge, some of the challenges also have just been viral with the most dangerous results such as the tide pod challenge, hot water challenge, and charlie-charlie challenge.
One challenge tops them all, this challenge has the world contemplating humanity with a lack of basic personal hygiene and common sense. This challenge was called the coronavirus challenge.
This challenge was started by an influencer, Ava Louise, when she claimed that Covid-19 is a hoax, and announced to prove it false by licking the toilet seat of an airplane.
Even the youngest children, with no idea of a social cue, know that licking or touching the toilet seat is a big no-no. the influencer behind this challenge has made up many such challenges and spread rumors about celebrities, and these challenges add up to one of her failed attempts to gain instant fame.
But the world is not short of ultra-bright minds, and similarly, many people joined her in the challenges, to lick the toilet seats of airplanes, public toilets, restaurants, public parks, subway rails, and all and every surface.
This challenge is not only dangerous but also disrespectful to all the people who have suffered or lost a close person in the deadly pandemic.
Many such challenges have come and gone, it is upon the wisdom and intelligence of individuals to participate in such horrendous challenges.
