Flying 18 Hours To See Moo Deng the Hippo Is Criminally Insane Behavior

Let me start off by saying I'm all for everyone doing whatever makes them happy. We see people on the internet do actually stupid and terrible things all the time, so if the worst thing you've got going on is flying across the world to go see a baby hippo, more power to you.

With that said, however, doing just that is also mildly insane.

Flying coach on a commercial plane for longer than 90 minutes is one of the worst experiences we have in the 21st century. Seemingly everything else in the world has improved over time while flying has gotten dramatically worse. I don't think there's anything in the world you could get me to fly 18 hours for and this woman was eager to do it to see a baby hippo meme.

And again, that seems to have made her very happy and I think that's fantastic. But it does not excuse the fact that it's also a clear sign of a brain that has been completely overtaken by the internet and likely has no escape valve. When you're spending an entire day on flights to go see a baby hippo because it's a cute meme, you're too far gone.

But I hope this woman had a lovely time. Moo Deng is a very good hippo and one I'd be willing to consider going to see in person if she was at a zoo within 25 miles of my home.
