    I would probably be calling emergency services while in shock, and then sit down somewhere and smoke a joint.

    Edit: Love how someone downvotes me for knowing how I would react in this sort of situation. Like, what do you think I would do?

      Went hiking with a friend, who told me to don’t come any closer and walk back the way we came. I know not to ask questions and once he has cell service, made a call to a non-emergency line.

      He told me what he saw was “like a bunch of dead dogs in the woods”. Just him telling me that was causing me to shake and freak out. Whole he was calm and collected. Never bothered digging deeper. And a part of me believes that he didn’t see dead dogs, but lied to me to spare me the sight.

      It would be worse if a tiktoker found it, as he would do a little dance with his head on the floor while playing some stupid music.

      This is exactly what I did after witnessing a woman on a motorcycle smash into a pickup truck broadside. She wound up losing her leg.

        A firefighter told me that one of his intervention was a motorcycle on the highway.

        When the arrive someone was giving a heart massage to the driver on the ground, the driver had been beheaded by the guardrail. They were trying to reanimate a headless body.

        It’s really hard to anticipate what people will do when in shock

          Probably a decade or so. I’m fine for all intents and purposes, but it’s not something I’ll ever forget and smoking a J immediately after was probably pretty beneficial for any PTSD that might arise from the situation.
