One must eliminate oneself from the gene pool to win a Darwin. (Yesterday, it went to the AZ man who ingested fishbowl cleaner because it contained chloroquine.) Not sure about the veracity of the tweet, either.

“Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:

Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.
...
Not a Darwin (but not safe either)
