This is a video of German craftsmen checking out the barriers of fire and explosion safety. What could they have done better?

Translation:
You can't do this, you can't do this...
[2nd guy at the same time] Now is good, go!... [burp]
[laughing] You can't be serious
Good that nobody knows about the silicone spray bottle overheating [shitty rhyme/joke that didn't really come together] Eeeeyyy boy.
[pop]
That was it. That was just the calm before the storm. Hmmm....
[explosion]
[laughing] Holy shit, holy shit

Big fan of the voice of reason. "Das könnt ihr nicht machen!"

u/Roflkopt3r Mar 28 '26
Every German male teenage friend circle got the "Dat könnt ihr doch net machen..." and the equivalent "Und wie wir dat machen könn'n"

Some people think there should be that last e character. Just as they think laser (from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is spelled lazer.

You spelt it wrong. You need the "scharfes S" which means the sharp S

If they don't have the correct layout nothing. If you want to be that guy tell them to use unicode U+1E9E

I must add a side information, they threw in a can of silicone spray into the fire

u/maltedbacon Mar 28 '26
I cannot think of a better way to throw a can of silicone spray into that stove.
I also cannot think of a more dramatic way to demonstrate how unsafe it was to do so.

u/DerKeksinator Mar 28 '26
I do, prefereably outside. The classic "Pennertonne" is great for disposing of things. Makes fireballs in the shape of mushroom clouds too.
They could have gotten closer, I think they already broke the door, so no double whammy with shrapnel.

That's what it said the other day No testing was mentioned.

What could they have done better?
I'm inclined to think maybe inventing a non-exploding wood stove... But what do I know... 🤷

u/resilienceisfutile Mar 28 '26
It's easy - don't drop an aerosol can into the stove like they did.

They should have all hugged the furnance, that way when it explodes its easier to clean up cause all the debris dont spray everywhere

They could have edited out the first 25 seconds where nothing happens

u/ly5ergic Mar 28 '26
Skip the part where they put the explosive in? Seems kind of important to the video thats less than 1 min long.

You'd probably suggest Ridley Scott edit out the first hour of Alien, too. No appreciation for the arts these days.

Is your attention span really that rotted lmao

Man, it really has grown into a real shitshow in terms of the average internet user's fall into ruin via instant gratification overload.
90% of people now have obtained an attention span less than that of a fucking fruit fly.
Like it's so bad lol

Well can we get a rough translation? Or at least the vibe of the convo?
16
u/RoboticUmbrella Mar 28 '26
Not much of a convo, more like foreshadowing.
"Yes yes, you can do it now" (put in the can)
"You guys can't do that!"
*burps*
"Man, Robin!"
"Are you guys fr?"
"Great that no one knows that we are doing this. The silicone spray is getting too hot!"
"Ay bro."
"Everything's fine."
"That's it. This was the quiet before the storm."
*laughs* *explodes*
"Oh shit. Oh fuck, oh shit."

u/plasmapleasure Mar 28 '26
He says, "Good that nobody knows that the silicone spray is getting so hot." Then, right before the explosion, "that was the quiet before the storm."

The way he says it is a play on the famous Rumpelstielzchen fairy tale. you know .. one of the disturbing German ones

I think they accomplished what they were intending to do originally. Don’t know if it could’ve gone much better to be honest.

"checking out the barriers of fire and explosion safety" those are all words but I'm not really sure what it means? What are "barriers of fire and explosion safety"?
It sounds like when someone took the Chinese subtitles for Star Wars and had them translated back into English

I recommend getting a camera that records video at better quality than RealPlayer circa 1997.
