"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.

    The majority here is more or less geek, so a lot of the visitors here have probably been bullied while growing up. This rumblr thing sort of belongs here because of the 'new tech' aspect, but its audience are the bullies that the geeks here probably still hate. Some rumblr participants are probably even so non-technical that they need help with participating on that site. So these negative sentiments can be expected on a site like this.
