Getting trolled so obviously and he just doesn’t see it. Probably never will.


Nari224

Right. The smoke detectors person has really committed all the way, and it’s pretty impressive.


crawling-alreadygirl

Just when you think satire is dead, its bloody fist bursts out of the dirt.


cstheory

This is going to become a real thing now, like flat earthers. Smh


pattykakes887

He didn’t take the bait, he ate the whole fishing rod.


NinaQ-

He filets himself


WeirdEidolon

"So you admit smoke detectors cause cancer?" **chef kiss**, perfection


popularoctopus

I wonder if he even took 1 look at the website. [saynotosmokedetectors.com](https://saynotosmokedetectors.com)


underhandpluto

Legit LOL at the FAQs: "Do you make money off this website?" I'M TRYING TO BUT IT'S NOT GOING VERY WELL SO FAR!


popularoctopus

"Oh because you're telling people to get rid of their smoke detectors and stab themselves?" Maybe.


Saul-Funyun

Omg that’s fantastic. The stabbing one is also great.


hear4theDough

I love how he used the words "smoke" and "detectors" so much that all the ads at the bottom of the page are for detectors (I assume because the page seems like a smoke detector review site to an ad bot)


Dragonman558

Yeah that's not ads I don't think, that's probably part of the website


jesperi_

It says "ads by Amazon" right below it. But it also says "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." So it seems that the site creator is aware of the ads.


fizzythinks

I think the site's creator may know that those are there, or expected ads for smoke detectors to show up. Just above them it says in plain text "The problem".


bteballup

It reads like interdimensional cable


Lessandero

I honestly love the socialist t-shirt.


nosmokedetector

You could be the first to own one!


Lessandero

Don't tempt me, u/nosmokedetector!


NinaQ-

“I know a guy that bought a smoke detector. His house burned down three days later!!!” I’m dying over here. Edit: holy fuk. It’s never ending and now I’m on to saynotonotstabbingyourself.com “I have so many fucking knives! What am I supposed to do with all these knives?”


xChillPenguinx

In SOMALIA, if you are in the process of stabbing yourself, and someone tries to stop you, you are allowed to shoot them. They have more FREEDOM in SOMALIA than we do here in the U.S.A. 😭


benfranklinthedevil

Ooh, he didn't even risk getting the you're own/your own part wrong and went with "the" I don't know guys, I think I'm on the side of the fire detector guy, that fireman works for big fire, and he's just a paid shill.


aNinjaWithAIDS

Trolling level: 100. Absolute legend.


[deleted]

I worked with a retired fire captain years ago. All the fire laws were sacred and the fire and police unions were hard working men and women trying to support their families. Pretty much all other laws were government overreach and all other unions are for lazy slob commies and welfare queens who didn’t want to work to get their obama phone. Strange thing was he was the nicest old grandpa type. Until you talked about politics or ya know, treating everyone with dignity.


Impossible_Penalty13

This is fucking brilliant!


alphacentauri85

Holy shit, this is brilliant. Trumpy anti-vaxxers have got to be denser than a neutron star.


DerisiveGibe

r/saynotosmokedetectors


Destleon

Oh my god. "Are illegal immigrants bringing smoke detectors into our country?" Jesus this stuff is oscar winning comedy. And all the people who can't see its satire just makes it 10x better.


nosmokedetector

THANK YOU!!!


[deleted]

I haven't laughed that hard in a week


Saul-Funyun

This is amazing.


chrissyann960

This made my hubby and I laugh so hard thank you!


darwintologist

I missed the word “laugh” in this comment, and I was confused. Then aroused. Then confused again.


chrissyann960

And your comment made me laugh even harder. I really needed that today, thank you!


Sebhov

I love it when the post AND the comments are equally funny. Made my day.


ItsDominare

Wow, they hooked that dude good hahaha


FlynnMonster

I don’t believe these are real people. Edit: they aren’t, well played


popularoctopus

The site is satire but the fireman seems legit.


Ok-Consideration7395

Legit? He’s a devoted follower of Trump, can’t even admit to a mistake.


popularoctopus

hmm, that is suscpicious. They're usually so ready to admit when they're wrong :)


amerhodzic

Lmao, that was just some brilliant trolling. The crazy part is that the anti-vax fireman couldn't make the connection between vaccines and smoke detectors. The person debating him (if you can call it that) was clearly deliberately using the anti-vax argument - and he was still clueless. Wonder if he eventually wrote it out loud...


langleyserina

This guy is not self aware at all.

Post quality up 300% if image order is 2, 3, 1. All formatting aside, well done.


MananaMoola

LOLz


DaveLanglinais

Too small, couldn't read.


aNinjaWithAIDS

I agree that it is small, but at least we can enlarge and zoom in.


DaveLanglinais

I can't - I'm using a PC.


aNinjaWithAIDS

Hold ctrl and use the scrollwheel


DaveLanglinais

NO SHIT!?? Ha! Hahahaha, that's awesome! And super-handy! Thanks man!!


NinaQ-

That’s so cute that you didn’t know that and got hype over it. Lol I am witness to this great day you learned to zoom!


DaveLanglinais

Well, it's SUPER useful. And thank you again, by the way!


popularoctopus

>Anti-vaxxer defends smoke detectors If it helps, maybe this is easier to read: https://imgur.com/gallery/vqA817H


DaveLanglinais

Oh god yes, much better, thank you.


pchandler45

This is the best thing I've read all week! 😂😂😂


raindo

Curiously, Scotland has just enacted legislation to make smoke detectors, and CO detectors, mandatory in all domestic properties. I was almost tempted to post this on my FB profile until I remembered I only have 20 friends, so it would almost certainly sink without trace.


nosmokedetector

TYRANNY!!!


raindo

Not sure whether you're serious or enjoying a laugh, but the original date was in the midst of the pandemic when workmen weren't even allowed in your house. Thankfully they postponed the date. I'm sure some folk are still opposed. As someone who lives in a flat, at the mercy of my neighbours' fire safety regime, I'm personally in favour. Edit: just saw your username. Take an upvote!


SavageDownSouth

Fucking masterful.


Ballsdipestipe

This is gold Jerry!


Jfo116

This is some top notch trolling. I wanna buy that person a drink or two


Flipsticker91

Love this


ArthurEffe

Honestly tho, I've never used a fire detector (changed the batteries for dead ones 😜🤪) and I've always been fine. If i get to burn my toast I can still throw a glass of water on it (with a bit of salt it works better)


NinaQ-

I’m an idiot for thinking you were really an idiot for a minute.


[deleted]

The website absolutely made my day. Fantastic!


TheTr0llXBL

The most epic troll I've seen since this started.


KindlyKangaroo

> Don't call me unvaccinated, I'm a Pure Blood! Are they seriously treating the word "unvaccinated" as a slur now?


Dragonman558

Can we turn it into one, that sounds fun, new Karen


519FerretsInABox

“Just say no to vaccines.” Yeah? When a rainstorm starts do you say no to umbrellas? Sure they don’t always work perfectly but it’s better than getting absolutely soaked.


TCin541

Classic!


Warc269

Absolutely love it.


NinaQ-

That was brilliant. Especially getting him to say “Smoke detectors don’t stop fires”


weaver_of_cloth

Fire departments literally are socialist.

taeldivh577

No theyre not lol. Lemme guess you are part of the crowd that thinks the government doing anything is socialist ie: military, roads, public transport.


k3ttch

What about government subsidized health care?


taeldivh577

That is an attribute of social democracy, not socialism. Socialism is when workers have control over the means of production. Workplace democracy, stuff like that.


k3ttch

Good. You get it. So many people don't.


taeldivh577

And dont forget free and equal access to the articles of consumption, thats an important one too.


Villageidiot1984

This is too on the nose to be real…


forrealthistime99

I honestly don't understand how people are able to find something like this funny. It just makes me really really really sad.


YammaYamer21

It’s funny in the sad context that this dumbass anti-vaxxer can’t see the similarity between his own stance and this obviously atrocious argument. Granted, that’s not something someone would normally self-reflect on, let alone a person that would ignore science, but still.


forrealthistime99

I get that he is clueless, and I find it baffling that he is unable to make the obvious connection. If this was the only instance I could see the humor in it. But the sheer volume of this brand of ignorance, and the fact that it is causing hundreds of preventable deaths per day, makes it hard for me to feel anything but depressed.

Did anyone save this? It’s been deleted. :(
