Original Story

A recent study on internet behavior found most people who engage in what we would normally consider to be "trolling" exhibit the personality traits of what psychologists call "The Dark Tetrad": narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and a sadistic personality. If I have learned anything from the excessive amount of crime shows I watch, these people are also pretty likely to become murderers - which means I should probably start absorbing the whole "Don't feed the trolls" mantra as soon as humanly possible.

They also said it was hotter during the summer. I never looked at summer the same after I read that.

Statistics say: 10/10 people who drink water die.

They also say 5/3 circlejerk threads are circlejerks.

P.S. Don't get your news from Mashable.ever
