        do you know there is a guy who laughed to his death in the 'a 1000 ways to die'. he laughed continuously for two days and the people who knew him didn't bother until he collapsed and died. watch out, laugh when it is necessary.

        Western media somehow, this laughing guy wouldn't be on tv if Eritrea and Ethiopia didn't open borders and now that they did the bbc has decided to show this guy to show people how welcoming Ethiopians are

        I’d love to repost this video but unfortunately, the caption is silly! The man is about spreading love and peace through laughter, so don’t reduce him to a mere “human emoji”.
