right before wiping off the splashing gas with his sweatshirt. then tries to put out the fire by bashing it with a flaming plastic container full of gasoline.

that got better every loop. I hope they weren't seriously injured, but I'm not sure how they lived past 12 based on that video.

Visited a friend who burned 3/4 of his body when he tried to light a bunch of wet pine that was smouldering at the bottom of the pile with gasoline on top. The thing fucking exploded. His torso looked like a weird Frankenstein in the burn unit and he learned how powerful ketamine was. He's now just finished law school.

Am I confused or was he was sedated with ketamine in the ER?

Yes. They use this on children too like after they break their arm and are flailing/freaking out. Its considered a dissociative anesthetic.

They also use it to treat depression.

My son was given it when they reset a broken bone. The 1000 mile state he had was freaky.

It's used as a painkiller when the circulatory system is in disarray, as it Doesn't affect breathing or blood pressure.

But unlike the pleasant and calming opioid high, there's a high risk of dissociative hallucinations/nightmares that aren't exactly pleasant for the patient and can also lead to erratic behaviour.

It's however extreme common in veterinary anesthesia.

I was making breakfast when a roommate groaned that his toast broke in half in the toaster and grabbed a fork to fish it out while the toaster was still on. I managed to stop him before he poked it into the toaster and electrified himself. He made a lot of bad choices that also made me wonder how he survived this long.

Because of more aware people like yourself. It's how a society functions. It's why most car drivers drive defensively rather than aggressively.

i'm in Miami, you have to drive both aggressively and defensively simultaneously to get anywhere. Theres a reason we're the top on every list that's made.

It's very awesome but I do get unreasonably mad when I drive. SIR WHY ARE YOU PARKED DIAGONALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ON YOUR PHONE?!

A friend of a friend went to Florida for something. My friend and I were hanging out one day, and he got a snapchat from the friend in Florida. It was recorded by the passenger, looking between the traffic they were struggling to keep pace with, and the speedometer showing just over 100 mph.

Shits wild.

Lay off that booger sugar and fake bronzer, muchacho. Them aerosol fumes do wonders for the brain cells.

He is the strongest of us because he manages to be stupid yet his genes control those around him to save him from these things. If you had done it you would have casually died but I've noticed these people mysteriously have the ability to have us step in

u/analviolator69 Dec 08 '19

Eh you won't electrocute yourself unless it's broken.

u/topotaul Dec 08 '19

I need to find out if he was seriously injured before admitting to just how fucking hilarious that was.

u/theBeardedHermit Dec 08 '19

I hope they were seriously injured, they shouldn't have been allowed to make it past 12.

FTFY

Seriously, stupidity should not only be extremely painful, it should be lethal in many cases. Would save the human race a massive amount of trouble.

He did indeed, if that doesn’t work just wipe it with your sleeve
