Once, ages and ages ago, when a useless samaritan wanted to piss on people for fun, they would be called "fuckheads," or "assfaces." These fuckboys decided that they needed an excuse to be complete dicks to the world, and thus, they adopted the term "social experiment" for their own. Before the fuckboys came into power, a social experiment was done by a man of science, who wished to learn about the world around them, and they did so with the consent and agreement of all involved. Not to be confused with a prank, a practical joke in which all parties involved can laugh about it afterwards, a social experiment has come to mean a cruel troll in which a fuckboy does something unimaginably stupid and rude and dismisses it as a practical joke. Tragic.
