Retards breaking/ruining old valuable stuff - Hey, it's their property.

[Darksy DePhil]

Prepare to get MATI
I got this idea from another thread. What are the most rage/disappointment/cringe inducing examples of people breaking things that could be considered "relics"?

There's this one where they break a "one of a kind" Wax Cylinder. (old music storage media used for phonographs)
While this one looks like more of a honest accident, and the thing was surely already fragile, the dude had some seriously shaky hands. He also said "Shit" on live broadcast, while the show host (i think?) awkwardly tries to laugh the whole thing off. It's so bad it almost feels staged.

An even more outrageous one i can think of is "The Senator". It was the fifth oldest tree in the world, as well as the oldest tree in the state of Florida. Well, in 2012, some methhead woman burned it down by literally fucking smoking INSIDE the tree. She was retarded enough to tell that to a bunch of her friends, which eventually got her sent to jail serving over two years of prison at first, and then an extended sentence for posession of ~38 grams of Meth. Don't do drugs, kids.

What other shit like this can you recall?
Also, honorable mention to the Xbox Dev Kit ruined by the redditor. Didn't include it because i'm pretty sure most of you already know that one.

Vintage Computer Destruction

Do Not Attempt Anything You See In This Video Yourself. This may upset vintage computer collectors, but we couldn't resist.

This person had a classic Mac II computer, and they completely destroyed it using water, hammers, and generally fucking around with it like lighting the floppy disk drive on fire with a match.
For no reason whatsoever. The video has 383 thousand views with 2,900 dislikes and 4,200 likes.

Actually, this dumbass just destroys anything he gets his hands on.

And physically speaking he's everything you'd expect.

I hate these people. Do they not realize there is a market for vintage stuff? Do they not understand they can make more from selling this stuff than from a shitty YT video?

The comments in his videos are full of edgy people.

The Tree of Tenere in Niger was the most isolated tree in the world (no other tree within 250 miles of it) and one of the oldest trees in North Africa as well.



In 1973 a drunk Libyan truck driver somehow managed to crash into it and destroy it. The dead remains are now in a museum:

Worldwide number one example of retards destroying valuable things is ISIS destroying relics and standing ruins from Palmyra.

They dont care about the value of it they just want to destroy old shit for fun

 

[BOONES]

Wtf am i the only autist on the planet who doesnt want to destroy everything? Especially priceless Artifacts and Vintage Goods.

I'd love to own and resell some of this stuff, a shame to see it wasted.

His blubber could be rendered to keep old style lamps in oil. What a fat fuck shithead.

Couple of years back, there was some Boy Scouts and their troop leader who broke these millions of years old rock formations called "hoodoos" out in Utah and I remember it made people on the Internet talk about it for a while. The troop leader ended up getting discharged and served criminal time apparently.

I really have to wonder if there's some form of mental retardation that makes people do this.

Gather around farmers. Let me tell you the story of how I most likely destroyed a piece of human history.

When I was a child I was walking home from school and right next to me was a construct site and a mountain full of rubbish they dug out. And I saw a weird shaped stone that looked exactly like a tool from the stone age sticking out.

And since I was interested in these things since I was small I thought I knew what it was, I took it home and used it on another stone to see what happens and after I hit the other stone with it it crumbled into several pieces . I'm still cringing when I think about it. I probably destroyed a historical artifact that was perhaps 10000+ or even 100000+ years old. To be fair I was 10 or 11 and didn't expect it to crumble but I wish I would have kept it.

Minor artifacts like this are frequently destroyed anyway. I remember a news piece about some early iron age? arrowheads found in Sweden? that were melted down because the museum that received them had plenty and no space available. Allegedly it's standard practice.

This asshole named Ai Weiwei smashed a Han Dynasty urn which was worth millions. This is somehow considered "art."

A Classic in the Genre.
