> Each selfie has a 1 in 12,857,142 chance of causing you death

That's assuming every selfie has an equally likely chance of causing death, which I think we can all agree is not the case.

But yeah, it's extremely difficult for me to muster any compassion for people that befall the horrible consequences of their own stupid decisions. To paraphrase the late, great Bill Hicks: "They were assholes. I'm glad they're dead."




Being stupid doesn't make you an asshole. You sound like more of an asshole than any random person dying because they did something stupid.
