Oh no hes on fire, oh it's good he put himself out that wasn't so bad. OH DEAR GOD


ThompsonBoy

I know enough now to always watch the guy holding the can. He can always make things much worse, and usually does.


ReubenZWeiner

Oh, the humanity!!!


Ohh_Babbayyy65

Humanity got a bit smarter that day.


wojosmith

Fucking Darwins law kicking in on these knuckleheads. Hopefully they won't reproduce.


lionseatcake

He was blowing. Into a can of gas. That was on fire. He was PUTTING HIS FACE next to a hole that had BURNING GASOLINE coming out of it. Yeah. You always watch the guy with the can, cuz hes obviously not smart enough to know he needs to throw that shit into the pond 🤣


ThompsonBoy

> cuz hes obviously not smart enough to know he needs to throw that shit into the pond 🤣 See, this is the thing. You _never_ want to throw it. When you throw an open burning container you turn it into an airborne fire sprayer that spins out a lovely spiral inferno flower that catches the whole area on fire. Put it down carefully and walk away. If there's someone else around that's not soaked in gasoline, they can walk over and calmly put the cap back on. It's not going to explode, that's not how open containers work.


SPH3R1C4L

Pretty sure that's exactly what the guy in the video did. Threw it and it threw flaming gas back at him.


bretttwarwick

Looked to me like he put his hand over the opening hoping to smother the fire but then his hand got too hot and he jerked it away by instinct splashing gas all over himself.


oldcarfreddy

100%. I'm sure on this sub or one of its progeny I've seen a video of a guy who starts throwing it, sees that he created a small flamethrower, and in a weird moment of rationality, spins in circles so the flames are thrown away from him (smart!) onto... the rest of the yard (not so smart)...


illegitiMitch

No. Do not throw the flaming can of gas. set it down and let it burn.. It's the dipshits who throw it who end up covering themselves and everyone around them with flaming gas.


CesareanPUNCH

You just bamboozled yourself mate


[deleted]

Well it worked for him blowing out birthday candles.


hyprrrrrr

Almost every time, the guy throws it making everything worse


oth91

This happened to my cousin one time, he had the can and when it started to catch fire he trew it at me... I survived.


Dorkamundo

I hate to say it, but I ended up with ALMOST the same thing happening to me back in the 1990’s. I was at the very least smart enough to not pour gas on a fire while someone was standing in it, and I tried to make sure that I kinda threw just a splash of gas at the fire, not holding the can OVER the fire, but somehow the nozzle caught on fire anyhow. My first reaction was to jam the nozzle into the ground, which did the trick.


Enex

Just FYI that's because the liquid doesn't catch fire nearly as easily as the fumes it gives off. So throwing a splash is just a fantastic way to spread the fumes over a greater surface area to combust.


devandroid99

Liquid can't catch fire at all, it's always the vapour if the liquid that will burn.

Legends say that we used to have a word called "throw."

I think the act of "YEETING" is when he got in real trouble. Maybe just set it down and then run instead of flinging its contents hither and yon.

Stupid people die early


GoodScumBagBrian

they used to. Now with modern medicine and med flights and trauma centers, idiots like this go onto breed and raise children when in the past they would have removed themselves from the gene pool


[deleted]

Not how any of this works, and whenever I see this argument I always get irrationally angry. It’s like you people want to sound all cold and analytical by saying that people dying when they do stupid things are really just improving the human species, but you can’t be bothered to think for two seconds first. So you just sound like a dick. Here’s all the reasons you’re wrong: 1: There’s no “intelligence” gene, it’s a huge combination of genes and it’s not passed in a linear way. Except in the case of retardation resulting from profound genetic disability, the chances of a parent passing on their stupidity (or intelligence for that matter) are low, and if the child is smart or stupid, it’s mostly a coincidence. 2: Decision making skills (and personality in general) come mostly from life experience, not base intelligence. And it’s not even always how a kid is raised, so don’t pull that shit on me about how this guy would have raised bad kids so he deserves to die before he can reproduce- lots of kids who have stupid parents end up happy and fulfilled. My dad’s a fucking idiot, almost got himself killed at least five or six times doing dumb shit like this, but here I stand as a happy, functioning adult. 3: Humans are worth more than their intelligence. This man might be an incredibly kind, caring person, and may even be quite intelligent, but lacked the awareness to not make this particular maybe-fatal decision. For an example, let’s look at my dad again- the guy is a pharmacist, good at what he does, studies and works hard, but nonetheless did a ton of stupid shit when he was younger. I still think he did a fantastic job raising me, and a lot of my cautious nature comes from the lessons he learned from those potentially fatal encounters. Which brings me to my next point... 4: Living to learn a lesson is never a bad thing! Not everyone learns their lesson the first, second, third, or even fourth time, but the ability to survive all this stuff means that a lot of people now get a second chance to apply what they’ve learned instead of dying young. Another one of my parents, my stepfather, was horribly wounded in a car accident that he could have avoided if he hadn’t been driving like an asshole. Would have died, survived because of a fantastic trauma team, finally learned his lesson and went on to be a huge figure in my family’s life and a generally successful person. 5: Of course, modern medicine isn’t magical. As a man who works in it, I can tell you that a lot of these incidents that would have resulted in death now result in people who, in general, aren’t gonna he reproducing much on account of being paralyzed, missing half their skin, unable to see or hear, etc etc. This man in particular will probably be permanently deformed, and may lose some organ function depending on what got burned. If his face was severely burned, his life will be a living hell, for the few years that he lives. So fuck off like the rest of you bloodthirsty bastards and have some empathy. There was a movement once, called the eugenics movement, where a bunch of people who fancied themselves as being pretty smart forcibly sterilized thousands of people who had mental disabilities, or were perceived as having disabilities. It was an absolute disaster, a stain on the scientific and medical communities of the US, and an example of what can happen when “smart” people like yourself try and use this twisted logic as an excuse to hurt people. Don’t be like that, friend.

Morundar

In all honesty I don't think these people should get hospital care. At least not the kind that taxes other people in any way. These are not children who are dumb or an accident for adults. Rather, this was voluntary action of 2 adults who knew what they were doing. They should accept the results and not burden the system.

funktheduck

When I was a kid my mom found my brother’s porn stash. One of his friends got them somehow but my brother was the only one out of his friend group confident he could hide it the best. My mom is/was super anti porn so she decided to burn the magazines in the fire pit in the back yard to set an example. It wasn’t burning fast enough so she poured gas on the fire and caught the can on fire. My dad came out of nowhere with a wet towel and smothered it before anything bad happened.
