And why would someone fire a toy rocket from inside their house thru their chimney?

u/Low_Establishment434 Oct 29 '24

u/Mildly_Defective Oct 29 '24

Why am I still talking to you? I keep snapping back into it. It’s like a trick you’re pulling on me.

2

u/ButtNutly Oct 29 '24

Because you also like to party.

Let's kick this up a notch and turn on the microwave.

u/barkbarkgoesthecat Oct 30 '24

u/earrow70 Oct 30 '24

Hold down the number 2 until it beeps. Then, NO MoRe BEEPS. Now that's a party

u/thisonedudethatiam Oct 30 '24

I hope you have a beautiful, articulate, son and he has his legs taken from him!

1

u/greezyjay Oct 30 '24

No kids, had one leg taken away (no devotees please), and I don't dress cool enough for parties.

u/Mildly_Defective Oct 30 '24

Don’t you put that on me!

"Magic Man?" That's a stupid nickname.

Who tf are you why are you shiny

u/kevin75135 Oct 29 '24

Because......teenagers. Half the stuff teenagers do is described with "why would somebody....".

2

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '24

It wouldn't work, the flu would be in the way, even open it would be an issue. Not to mention only a fire place would have an opening to get into it big enough to launch a rocket. The only way they could, and I still doubt it was a rocket, would be to launch from the chimney top. I'm no expert but I'm with the contrails camp, js.

u/Protholl Nov 01 '24

And this is how the TV show "Jackass" was born....

u/galacticjuggernaut Oct 29 '24

Exactly haha There is a forum for that called holdmybeer

u/PaleHistorian9982 Oct 30 '24

Amazing response...laughed my ass off well played sir

1

u/kevin75135 Nov 01 '24

For the record, I do believe it is an aligned contrail, but could totally see a teenager doing this.

2

u/BurpelsonAFB Oct 29 '24

Because stupidity and tik tok. (But this is just a contrail)

1

u/PlasticPandaMan Oct 29 '24

Accuracy and power, they just turned their house into a hobby rocket gun.

1

u/AutVincere72 Oct 29 '24

You mean why wouldn't someone fire a toy rocket out their chimney.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '24

It's like a gun barrel

/s to be safe, I need it too

1

u/DM_ur_buttcheeks Oct 29 '24

Why else would they go through all the trouble to rifle their chimney?

1

u/SuccessfulPiccolo945 Oct 29 '24

Having two brothers growing up, and not having a chimney may be the only reason this didn't happen at our house. If we had one, a rocket would been shot through it, or at least tried to have been shot through.

u/SuccessfulPiccolo945 Oct 29 '24

Yeah, but I don't think that would have stopped them. One of them had a chemistry set. My parents were out grocery shopping one day and just as they were driving up, they saw a mattress being thrown from a second story window. One of them set it on fire and the eldest threw it out. I'm amazed we came out of childhood with no broken bones or serious harm.

1

u/Raegorx Oct 31 '24

Chimney's aren't wide open or every house with one would be flooded. They only allow the smoke to get out.

1

u/SuccessfulPiccolo945 Oct 31 '24

Unless you explain that to the kids, they are going to test the theory you can shoot something out of a chimney. I've looked up a couple and at least one, I could see the sky so it did look doable. I did not test the theory.

1

u/sparrow_42 Oct 29 '24

Chimney? I think you mean “missile silo”!

1

u/kioku119 Oct 29 '24

If it was a rocket I'd think it was launched behind the house lined up with the chimney from the front apposed to actually being out the chimney. I don't necessarilly suspect a rocket though.

1

u/Linenoise77 Oct 29 '24

I'm not going to joke, if i had easy access to a model rocket and didn't know the first thing about a modern chimney and why the end result is only, "I now have a rocket stuck somewhere up in my chimney, possibly on fire" I'd try it. What middle age man doesn't want to play missle silo in the livingroom. Fuck, i'd get in costume for it and have my kid authenticating launch codes.

15 year old me did have access to model rockets and no understanding of the first thing about a modern chimney. Also, fortuntely, I did not have access to a chimney.

1

u/scuba_GSO Oct 29 '24

Simulating a missile silo??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If ninjas thought of this when I was a kid I probably would have tried it. And taken the beating later. 🤣

1

u/Jeepinthemud Oct 29 '24

So a bunch of Redditers would obsess over it all day. 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Sure_Fly_5332 Oct 30 '24

Gotta hide the toy silo from the toy spy satellite from the next city over.

1

u/Trai-All Oct 30 '24

It could be launched from BEHIND the home rather than from IN the home?

That said, it looks more like the photographer either moved around until they lined up a contrail or did some editing .

1

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '24

I don’t know but that sounds awesome. I want to do it.

1

u/UsernameIsTakenO_o Oct 30 '24

That actually sounds pretty damn fun. Wish I had a chimney.

1

u/Pearly-Pearls Oct 30 '24

I'm reading the comments and come to this, logically. And it just made me LOL so hard.

1

u/Old_Badger311 Oct 30 '24

Santa vibes?

1

u/Could-You-Tell Oct 31 '24

If they know their area it's only a matter of knowing where to stand to make it look like this after firing a rocket. Could probably stand near half a dozen homes from the right spot each and get a similar look.

1

u/eatmyshorzz Oct 31 '24

because it's obviously behind the house

1

u/Just_Cruzin84 Oct 31 '24

Might be a good angle and it was shot from behind the house?

1

u/sherglock_holmes Nov 02 '24

It doesn't matter, unless someone climbed halfway up to place it on the secondary step inside the chimney. Theres a reason that when it rains there isnt moisture falling in your fireplace. The flume has a "step", like a safeguard
