i don’t mean to be a cassandra kitty or anything, but i think probably that if you put a big red button on the wall marked

“WORLD EXPLODES IN FIREY CATACLYSM BUTTON, DO NOT PUSH”

that humans would basically walk right up and say “huh, i wonder what this does?” then push it…

seriously, what is it with you guys?

Did they wear masks while doing so? If so - all is ok. Especially those cloth ones from Walmart.
