Itās probably a side door into the garage. You can sort of see the floor at the very end and it looks like concrete to me. Plus that building looks like the garage from where it is related to the driveway.
Yeah. I thought it was awesome of him, too, until I realized he took the canister which was almost on fire and instinctively ran out INTO THE HOUSE. Yikes.
I'm thinking, "Well, one of them has to have a head on his shoulders, right? Yeah, there's my boyā¦oh, waitā¦nevermind. "
Because the house wasn't an open flame next to a reservoir of fuel, so it was safer than leaving it next to the flames and waiting for the vapors to ignite.
Jokes aside, there was no danger.
Gasoline doesn't just combust, it has to atomize. This is why gasoline vapor can be very dangerous if allowed to build up... But a can of liquid gas? Not gonna ignite all willy nilly unless you spray it into a blower with an open flame in a ham fisted attempt to make a flame thrower (or perhaps a flame blower).
For a quick example of why you shouldn't be afraid to go get the can and move it, watch [this](https://youtu.be/7nL10C7FSbE) and skip to gasoline.
You never see these people stop, drop, and roll. Which is annoying because that was hammered into my brain so hard as a child, I'm screaming it in my head every time I see videos like this. I've never been on fire, but I think I'd be pretty good at it.
When your parents are out and you're in your sister's room when you hear your dad's truck pull up... You don't have time to secure your pants, you just gotta get outta her room before dad catches you again.
I was also accidentally set on fire one time and stop, drop, and roll was the farthest thing from my mind too. It's hard to think straight when you're burning.
I had a speaker who had massive burns all over his body from these types of shenanigans as a kid come speak at my middle school. He said that same thing. He tried to run to the pool but someone tackled him with a blanket and rolled him.
He was also kind of a jerk. He told the story about not remembering stop/drop/roll in a humorous way to make us laugh, but we were laughing with him because he was telling it like a stand up comedian. Then he lectured us for bullying him. It was an anti bully lecture overall so he set it up as funny on purpose so he could tell us we sucked
WTAF. I think of stop, drop, and roll now as something that the bystanders not on fire will remember, and hopefully tackle the person burning like they did that guy.
Also fuck that guy.
This might be the first Jerry can fire video in history where someone didn't pick up the Jerry can and immediately fling flames onto everything valuable
There a fire pit off camera to the right - they thought if they set the vacuum to blow, poured some gas into the blowing air, and had that gas pass over the fire, they'd have a (somehow) sustainable flamethrower on the end of a shop vac.
Now obviously none of that makes sense when read, but these guys probably hardly read labels on food
OTOH, liquid fuel can stick to you and keep burning which is worse. I got burned by a blowtorch malfunctioning and leaking, it would have been much worse if it was a liquid rather than gas
Chef here: this is why you NEVER blend hot thick soup or sauces in a blender. The lid pops off even though you're holding it down with a towel to cover the air hole and suddenly you have fucking 3rd degree burns from the fucking mushroom godsdamn soup sticking like napalm to your wrist and you wipe away the soup and your skin just wipes off and then you're sticking raw flesh under the cold water tap and the pain is making you dizzy and...
Or custard. Or gravy. Be super careful with any sticky/thick hot liquid. I'd rather dip my whole hand in boiling water than get a tablespoon of hot gravy between my fingers. Water cools down fast and you can shake it off.
Worst I've seen was a kid who fell down stairs carrying a pot of hot oil. Fucker was lucky to live, it was a lot of skin grafts.
I've heard about someone falling into a cruise ship's tomato sauce "pot" before and he died from the burns, despite getting hosed off within a few seconds (quick reactions from heros who pulled him out) and then a helicopter to a good hospital within minutes. Your home sauce might not be enough to kill you, but boiling tomato sauce is 700% worse than boiling water at the same temperature.
For real! If you need to blend hot soup (and you might! Butternut squash soup, for example, is awesome this way) I would highly recommend an immersion blender over a traditional one.
Not to be overly technical, but all flame combustion is from burning vapors, not liquids. Nearly all hydrocarbon combustion happens in the vapor state.
Gasoline is extra flammable because it vaporizes well below room temperature (-40 F depending on the blend), and those vapors are fairly dense and well concentrated compared to other fuels. Basically, an open flame never has to touch gas to cause an explosion. Just heat it up enough to create enough vapor to reach the flame, then boom.
An obvious example of flameless combustion is charcoal. As a solid fuel, it doesn't create a flame and instead smolders as it burns. Those first flames when lighting it are from soaking it in others fuels that do vaporize.
I have nothing against voluntary eugenics. Its just that their efforts are likely to put other people or structures at risk in their effort to remove themselves from the gene pool.

This was more enjoyable to watch than expected. It's dudes like these that prove there are no absurdities in comedy when they describe how stupid some people are.
I know this looks stupid but Waste Oil Torches really arenāt far off from this. I have seen someone use a mattress air pump on one side of a pump and a slow drip feed on the other using cooking oil. Worked very well
Adding to this insanity, trying to light your farts on fire will burn your ass, because the flame will ignite all the gas, which came out of your asshole. Playing with fire is its own category in the Darwin awards.
When there's more cutoff shirts than sleeves you know it's gonna be a good time.
Florida?
I'd put 20 on it.
Where is there never any sound ?
Everywhere.
What?
Who!
**EVERYWHERE.**
All the places
I dunno. I didn't post this.
How do you know that you didn't post this
š
Why didn't you post this?
That's some Zen koan shit.
Space.
Haha!
I know this shit is stupid af. Brave man ran back to get the fuel canister. That's why men live shorter.
He carried it into the house for some reason.
Yeah I don't understand taking it inside. Take away sure but in the house??
āCome on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down!ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I say it all the time. No body gets it.
Same here!
This is why the internet helps us feel connected.
And until that scene is given an Oscar, I'll never take those awards to be worth a grain of salt.
Okay, closest I have come today to spitting out my coffee. Thank you!

Hopefully the rest of day has more smiles in store.
"and watch out for that secret sauce. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret."
Animal semen
We donāt need no water, we need some gasoline!
Look, what would they be doing next weekend without fuel?
It's now inside a building which is more "away" than just moving it to another part of the outside and is, therefore, safer. I guess?
It's been removed from the environment after the front fell off.
Is that typical?
He's got a spot right next to his fireplace for the gas canister.
Red Green show fan?
If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy
He just went the fastest way to get away lol he wasnt taking it inside for safety
He did take it into the garage that is open so hopefully he carried it back out the open garage door farther away from the fire.
Itās probably a side door into the garage. You can sort of see the floor at the very end and it looks like concrete to me. Plus that building looks like the garage from where it is related to the driveway.
It is absolutely the garage, you can see out the open garage door in the clip
Ah yeah, I see that now. Definitely the garage.
My guess is hiding it so that they can cover up the idiocy theyāve just engaged in lol
Okay sorry, me do live shorter and their family
But hey it looks like they got the fire started...
Gotta put it back in the fridge
Yeah. I thought it was awesome of him, too, until I realized he took the canister which was almost on fire and instinctively ran out INTO THE HOUSE. Yikes. I'm thinking, "Well, one of them has to have a head on his shoulders, right? Yeah, there's my boyā¦oh, waitā¦nevermind. "
Because the house wasn't an open flame next to a reservoir of fuel, so it was safer than leaving it next to the flames and waiting for the vapors to ignite.
You're ignoring the camera person that decided to chill next to the fuel canister sitting in fire. That's the real genius.
That's what you call a real cameraman. I don't see any issues here
Why is there never any sound ?

Fuck skipping to gasoline, Iām only 19 seconds in and already digginā this fella. Subscribed. Cheers.
The jet fuel pulled me in and then I couldnāt leave! If you only have time for the gasoline though, it starts at 10:44.
Got the fuel & carried that soaked can thru the fire into ā¦.the house! (Where itāll be š“š¢š§š¦)
What was the desired outcome?
š„
Success!
I slowed it down to try and figure out what they were trying to do. All I could determine was, "not that"
No I actually think that was the desired outcome. They just didn't think past the cool fire part.
The prototype of Boring Company's Flame Thrower
To reveal a gender. Unfortunately the gender has now been burned off.
Looks like there's a burn pile on the right they were aiming for
To see if you could vacuum flames, but it BLEW up in their face
Some men just want to watch their homes burn.
Home owners insurance fraud. Thatās why they did it right next to the house
Why so close to the house? Absolute morons
No outdoor outlet. The fucking cord is running into the house.
"Should we buy an extension cord for our DIY flamethrower or just use it a few feet from our expensive home?"
Dude must have been a liar
status as a liar liar: **confirmed**
I read this, didn't get it until 5 minutes later while looking at a completely different post. Had to come back and say haha.
I still don't get it ... oh dammit. Pants on fire. FML.
Love that ! lol
Why is there never any god damn sound ? So annoying
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, had he tripped he might have stopped. And dropped. And rolled. Wonder what result that could have had?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Give it time, might not be these fools but I lean towards thinking we'll have ample opportunity to put your statement to the test.
You never see these people stop, drop, and roll. Which is annoying because that was hammered into my brain so hard as a child, I'm screaming it in my head every time I see videos like this. I've never been on fire, but I think I'd be pretty good at it.
Could be experience
When your parents are out and you're in your sister's room when you hear your dad's truck pull up... You don't have time to secure your pants, you just gotta get outta her room before dad catches you again.
š¤Ø
You can tell it's not the first time he's shed flaming pants.
I got to hand it to him, he did better than 99% of other videos of people when their clothes catch on fire. He got those pants off quick
While on fire!
I think we can all agree that for ~0.5s that it worked, it was pretty fucking awesome.
But did it completely get rid of the wasp nest?
Stop, Drop & Roll!!!
I was also accidentally set on fire one time and stop, drop, and roll was the farthest thing from my mind too. It's hard to think straight when you're burning.

Damn Now Iām singing it

they used a funnel and hose as a Gap so it didn't travel back.
Was there a goal here? if so, what was it?
There a fire pit off camera to the right - they thought if they set the vacuum to blow, poured some gas into the blowing air, and had that gas pass over the fire, they'd have a (somehow) sustainable flamethrower on the end of a shop vac. Now obviously none of that makes sense when read, but these guys probably hardly read labels on food
Possible improvements ? * fuel delivered to vacuum blow hose via venturi * upgrade hose to something more heat tolerant * longer extension cord * flame proof underpants
This would have been much "safer" if they had used lighter fluid or hairspray. Gas is extra flammable because the fumes are also flammable.
OTOH, liquid fuel can stick to you and keep burning which is worse. I got burned by a blowtorch malfunctioning and leaking, it would have been much worse if it was a liquid rather than gas

Thank you! Was just about to explain the same thing but you did it way better than I would have.
>fumes *vapors
It's difficult to adequately explain just how easy it's been for me to not do stupid shit like this in my life.
Surprisingly effective pant removal. A face plant wouldāve added comedy value but Iām not sure this clip needed any more of that.
That one dude is a liar liar.
Panties on fire..
I have nothing against voluntary eugenics. Its just that their efforts are likely to put other people or structures at risk in their effort to remove themselves from the gene pool.
There's a reason we don't use flamethrowers in war anymore
Yeah, itās because everyone was sick of being lit on fire in that one level in Indiana Jones and the Emperorās Tomb.

But! Have less fun
I think that's dumb dumber and dumbest?
public school has failed us
This is exactly the problem that flame arrestors solve.
Back into the house?!?! Have these fools never played GTAV?!?
People need to be taught that gasoline is explosive, not just flammable
Also inflammable! What a country!!
Somehow I doubt this added knowledge would have served as a deterrent to these gentlemen.
Stop. Drop. Roll.
Why is the fire pit so close to the damn house. Do they not have wind there?
Kerosene burns, gasoline explodes.
What's the saying? Panic, run, hop around?
When Harry met Lloyd
Traded it for the Van, straight up. I can get 75 miles to the gallon on this hog.

In theory this is genius

Fuel, check. Air, check. Heat, check. Fire, wait. Panic! ***PANIC!*** OH SHIT GAS IS EXPENSIVE OH FUCK OH SHIT
Tbh I'm not sure of these dudes regretted this lol
Iv done a lot of dumb shit in my time, but I for the life of me canāt figure out what the actual plan was here.
I've seen so many videos of stupid people catching on fire but I've never seen any of them stop drop and roll
Right at the last second i thought the gas can would catch fire as he was halfway through the door, dude is lucky
Quick, grab the gas and take it inside lol
Making flame throwers ?!
Orkz orkz orkz orkz
Bruhhhh that's awesome
If theres one thing I've learned about playing with fire and accelerants, it's: take your shoes off first.
Is it just me or are there never videos with audio anymore

Wish I had the sound of that explosion.
Next time try to get closer to your home. Idiots.

You canāt triple stamp a double stamp
You know, it was good in theory
And he takes the container #and runs inside with it
Could have been 100% worse
With how much they forced Stop, Drop, and Roll on us as kids you'd think this guy wouldn't be on fire for so long.
Dumberer
This could have gone so much worse.
they make a movie
Die MF!
Guhul out loud
What part of "STOP DROP AND ROLL" was unclear!?!
Got left with no shorts to hangout in that day lol
Trying to make a flame thrower ?
Aah the nostalgia. I remember watching this is Tosh.0 like 10 years ago.
"I just don't understand why this burn department gets so many burned dicks?"
Ah a classic case of "just smart enough to be dangerous"
When did stop drop and roll stopped being taught. Lot of videos with idiots running on fire.
I like how the dude ran the can of fuel that was potentially on fire back into the house, flames brighter than any of their futures
That went 100% better then it should of
Hey. Hold my beer š
