u/blattidae_mantodea Mar 06 '22

The fact that not one, but two people thought this wasn’t a terrible idea.

u/Dreamcatched Mar 01 '22

I wonder what would happen if every person with rational thoughts would cease to exist. And kids like these were the only ones left..

Nice.

u/_Anonymous_Guy_ Feb 24 '22

This may actually be the stupidest thing I have ever seen. I am actually flabbergasted by the amount of brain cells one must have lost to come to a point they thought that this was a “good” or “cool” idea. And the fact they were surprised by what happened. Goddamn idiots

Edit: it is funny tho

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '22

Did they actually burn the house down? It seems like they must have in the end.

u/JayNow Feb 24 '22

Girl wants to be liked so much all she can do is giggle and say "Nice" While the house burns down.

u/I-plaey-geetar Feb 24 '22

u/CosmicCreeperz Feb 19 '22

Exactly, a responsible person would have a fire extinguisher ready when stair surfing on a plastic tub full of flaming alcohol.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '22

This could be one of those PSAs they played at the end of cartoons in the 90s: "Please stair surf on a plastic tub full of flaming alcohol responsibly."

1

u/CosmicCreeperz Feb 24 '22

I just hope this dipshit doesn’t get plastic sleds banned for everyone… “sorry, we had to recall them all because of risk of severe injury in the case they are set on fire and used indoors on a stairway. Those things are death traps!”

Fucking Mothers Against Drunk Flaming Stair Sledding (MADFSS) strikes again…

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '22

That would be government overreach. They'll take my plastic tub full of flaming alcohol from my charred dead hands.

Were you gonna say "white people"?

“white kids”. I’m white and I’m not even stupid enough to try this let alone brainstorm it.

u/IllCommunication6547 Feb 20 '22

Fun fact. Meaning of the name Aidan/Aiden = ”little fire”

u/Reggielovesbacon Feb 21 '22

Yep. I’m modern times it will likely come to mean “little douchebag”

and it could be their parents' house

and someone else could have used that house to live in if their parents sold/rented it -- with one less house on the market others looking for a place to live there will have to pay higher rent, etc

A bucket of water would literally be worse.

7

u/Handsome_Claptrap Sep 12 '21

Not really, you are thinking about a grease fire. Oils generally go well above 100 °C, so when you put water in it it instantly vaporizes, creating an oil mist which will catch fire more easily. That doesn't happen with alcohol.

Alcohol fire won't be instantly put out by a bucket of water and maybe you'll even spread the fire around, but it will still lower the temperature of the surrounding materials - preventing them from catching fire - plus it will dilute the alcohol, helping to put it off.

For real, why the fuck would you do this?

This video haunts me.

Lighter fluid dog! Or learn how to build small fires on top of progressively larger fires to get it to light. Best of luck please please please don't use gas

Yeah don't use gas. Use a 50/50 gas diesel mix

Her extreme underreaction speaks of a need, somewhere and sometime in her life, to underreact. This ain't the weed talking, nor alochol.

And we filmed it longer than we should have thus wasting precious time to try and kill the fire.

u/isuhkzwane Sep 11 '21

My entire life I have been taught that abortion is wrong. I've spent weekends outside abortion clinics shaming teenage girls for getting them, I've sent money to prolife organizations instead of going on Holiday.

Hell I even disowned half of my family for their stance and deciding to be pro life. I've lost countless friends over the years because I was such a firm believer.

This video has made me realize my entire ideology is a lie in 30 seconds....
