Anyone who has ever met an amateur restaurant owner: They probably have to cut so many slurs from that show. I know ten people like this and they're all dumber than a box of rocks.
"these people can't be this stupid it's a trick of the editing."
It's good to be conscious of how reality tv alters our perception of events and makes people into the most sensational versions of themselves. But please understand that "demographic that has enough spare income and misplaced confidence to start a restaurant with zero experience" is the group of people who stormed the capital.
Alright.
Now the first post makes sense.
I once worked in a pub where the chip oil was so dirty it was black, but the owner never let us change it because oil costs money.
I was like, you know this is going to catch on fire if we don't change it, right?
And he went, no it won't lol don't worry sweetheart.
It caught on fire.
And after I went about shutting off the gas and getting the extinguisher, I came back to him

So no. While Kitchen Nightmares is probably edited to enhance the drama, those people are absolutely out there and they are stupider than you can imagine.
I drew this while on an airplane today, and definitely got a couple weird looks from my poor seat-neighbor over it.

I’ve seen a few ~aesthetic~ photos of rock stacks in rivers recently and this is just a reminder that you are destroying habitat when you move rocks around in rivers and streams.
In addition to dragonfly nymphs, rocky river beds are home to lots of other larval invertebrates like damselflies, mayflies, water beetles, caddisflies, stoneflies, and a bunch of dipterans. Not to mention lots of fish and amphibians!
Plus large scale rock stacking can change the flow of a stream and lead to increased erosion.
Anyway dragonfly for admiration:

Everything is something’s habitat. You might as well not go outside for fear of stepping on some larval beetle.
This is hugely missing the point. The idea is to enjoy what’s left of our natural spaces while having as little an impact as possible. It’s not difficult to avoid intentionally destroying habitat. I recommend looking into the Leave No Trace principle which is very important for conservation. Cynicism doesn’t help anything.
You can read more about Leave No Trace here.
A few rock stacks here and there wouldn’t have much of an impact alone. But in parks that see thousands or even millions of visitors each year, when you have people like you saying, “sure, literal scientists and park rangers are telling me not to do this, but surely that doesn’t apply to ME,” the effect is huge. Please attempt to see the bigger picture. You are not so special that YOU get to ignore the rules and continue intentionally destroying habitat even after you’ve been told it’s harmful.
so fucked up that i have to take care of my body everyday. what if sometimes i feel sad about the maintenance
