"Bro, your face is pissing me off, want to throw down?"

That's an example of the sort of dialog that goes on in a new app called Rumblr, which can be used to set up fistfights with total strangers — you know, Fight Club style.

Rumblr is set up like a dating app, except the dates happen in parking lots and back alleys, not restaurants, and they culminate in throw-downs instead of get-downs.

Sigh.

    This "late" in evolution, a lot of the people living are here because others had fought and killed (for them).
    The important thing for them is to feel safe, protected, embedded, and to conform.

    The rest of the spectra in the human psyche is material for mental care, according to them.

    Do not try to explain duels with rules and honour to them.
