This reminds me of the time my niece was 2 years old, and in a resteraunt she started standing on the booth seat, instead of sitting.
So my brother in law (her dad) asked her to sit. And she didn’t want to sit. So my BIL said “Look at everybody. Mommy’s sitting. Daddy’s sitting. Uncle is sitting. Nana is sitting. Everybody is sitting, and we’d like you to sit too! Can’t eat food like that if you’re standing!”
And then she sat down.
That was 10 years ago, and it stood out because if that were me at age 2, my dad would have just yelled and me, picked me up, and dropped me hard on my ass until I stopped getting up.
It was one of those “so THIS is what good parenting looks like…” moments.
If everyone jumped off a cliff would you do it too? Don’t fall for peer pressure!
Everyone else gives in to peer pressure, maybe I should too…
God, I wish everyone would jump off a cliff. I’d hit up a pharmacy and a Lamborghini dealership and be living my best life way before I even figured out wtf happened to everyone. Hell, I’d likely be so continually high on a cocktail of chemicals that I’d be having lively conversations and never fully realize I was the only real person left.

Pretty bold assumption that out of over 8 billion people jumping off a cliff, not one of them would survive in a way that they could rescue themself. (Fuck it, if we’re assuming it’s literally “a cliff”, singular, they’d probably physically have to stop at some point.)
