En la India muere más gente tomándose selfies que en cualquier otra parte

En los últimos dos años, la India ha registrado muchas más muertes relacionadas con las selfiesque en cualquier otro país del mundo. Esos son los hallazgos de un nuevo estudio realizado por académicos de la Universidad Carnegie Mellon y el Instituto de Información de Delhi.

El análisis titulado Me, Myself and My Killfie concluyó que de 127 muertes relacionadas con las selfies, 76 muertes eran de la India.

Un blog que detalla el estudio afirma que, en los últimos dos años, Pakistán tuvo nueve muertes, Estados Unidos ocho y Rusia seis.

Solo en el 2015, algunos de los indios murieron mientras posaban frente a un tren que se aproximaba, un barco que se inclinaba, en un acantilado o en un barranco de más de 18 metros de altura. Por si fuera poco, un turista japonés murió intentando tomar una selfie en el Taj Mahal y acabó perdiendo la vida por las heridas fatales en su cabeza.

Los investigadores analizaron miles de selfies publicadas en Twitter y encontraron que los hombres, respecto a las mujeres, eran más propensos a tomarse este tipo de fotos de forma peligrosa y arriesgada. Determinaron que el 13 por ciento fueron tomadas en lo que podría considerarse situaciones peligrosas y la mayoría de las víctimas eran menores de 24 años.

La causa más común de muerte en todo el mundo fue "caerse de un edificio o una montaña", ya que 29 muertes se debieron a accidentes que cumplían con esas variables. La segunda más común era la del atropello por un tren, responsable de 11 muertes.

"Esta tendencia se basa en la creencia de que la publicación de una fotografía en las vías de un tren junto a tu mejor amigo tiene un significado romántico y es un signo de amistad interminable", señaló el estudio.

La mayoría de las muertes de indios estaban relacionadas con el agua.

Los autores esperan que este análisis sirva como una advertencia de los peligros al hacer este tipo de instantáneas y que inspiren a las empresas de tecnología a desarrollar un sistema que alerte a los fotógrafos si están en una zona de peligro.

En los últimos meses, funcionarios de la India han tratado de poner medidas para abordar este nuevo fenómeno que afecta a la seguridad pública. El ministro de Turismo del país pidió a los gobiernos estatales que desarrollen "zonas prohibidas para las selfies" en las atracciones turísticas de todo el país, incluyendo el territorio de Mumbai, donde dos personas se ahogaron al ser arrastradas por el Mar Arábigo.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
