"Verrückt (German meaning "crazy" or "insane", 
listen) was a water slide located at the Schlitterbahn Kansas City water park in Kansas City, Kansas. At a height of 168 feet 7 inches (51.38 m), Verrückt became the world's tallest water slide when it opened on July 10, 2014, surpassing Kilimanjaro at Aldeia das Águas Park Resort in Brazil. The ride was designed in-house, led by John Schooley with assistance from park co-owner Jeff Henry. It was featured on an episode of Xtreme Waterparks that aired on the Travel Channel in June 2014 shortly before the ride opened. Verrück permanently closed in 2016 following a fatal incident involving the decapitation of a ten-year-old boy.[3]"
Not exactly what I expected from googling "biggest water slide in the world"

By wasting time posting in this thread, you will fail to properly complete schoolwork and will thus drop out. This will leave you with no job and no money, forcing you to be homeless. Hence, Smogoff causes death.

I don't like this thread. If we keep it going, somebody will eventually use it to voice a controversial political opinion.
A slippery slope argument (SSA), in logic, critical thinking, political rhetoric, and caselaw, is an argument in which a party asserts that a relatively small first step leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant (usually negative) effect.[1] The core of the slippery slope argument is that a specific decision under debate is likely to result in unintended consequences. The strength of such an argument depends on whether the small step really is likely to lead to the effect. This is quantified in terms of what is known as the warrant (in this case, a demonstration of the process that leads to the significant effect). This type of argument is sometimes used as a form of fearmongering in which the probable consequences of a given action are exaggerated in an attempt to scare the audience, although, differentiation is necessary, since, in other cases, it might be demonstrable that the small step as likely does lead to an effect.
The fallacious sense of "slippery slope" is often used synonymously with continuum fallacy, in that it ignores the possibility of middle ground and assumes a discrete transition from category A to category B. In this sense it constitutes an informal fallacy. In a non-fallacious sense, including use as a legal principle, a middle-ground possibility is acknowledged, and reasoning is provided for the likelihood of the predicted outcome. Other idioms for the slippery slope argument are the thin end/edge of the wedge, the camel's nose in the tent, or If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
