There is a common idiom in German: "something borders stupidity". It is used in discussions and the question of what this 'something' is is usually not answered explicitly since it emerges from context.
This sounds a lot like the Western saying: "[something] borders on stupidity", as in: "going boating without life jackets borders on stupidity".

Yes, that's the same. I just didn't know whether the German preposition "an" also existed in its English version so I erroneously omitted it. I will never be able to use or hear it again without thinking of the answer the social media suggests these days. But before you use it, do not forget Mexico.

I think that the borders of stupidity have grown a lot recently. Must have been an annexation of common sense to have grown that much.

The comic has been popping up in my Facebook feed lately and I have come to appreciate it for how it says regular things with words that seem more descriptive. In particular those relating to parenting.
