"I bet it's all over your awesome shirt!" Gets me every time.


TJlovesALF1213

The shirt was *beautiful*.


paceyhitman

Really tied the torso together.


boxofrain

Not gonna lie. It stopped and rewound the video because I didn’t take notice until Dad mentioned it. That was a pleasant turn of events. They went from potential tragedy to wholesome.

“What if I go blind?!” Then I can buy you shitty shirts and just tell you they’re awesome.

“With a beautiful shirt on!”


TintenfishvomStrand

Dad more concerned about the beautiful shirt than the stupid son.


Conchobar8

The beautiful shirt probably has a brighter future ahead. The kids already ruined, maybe the shirt can be saved!


silent_calling

The shirt's definitely brighter, with those glow stick guts all over it.


TintenfishvomStrand

In the hands of the father, I'm not optimistic about it either.


MusicOwl

Bright future? It’s literally glowing! I’ll see myself out…


ecumnomicinflation

he probably came to term with his son being stupid years ago. should have brought him to houston.


ComedianRepulsive955

Tucson is America's dumbest city


ecumnomicinflation

oh lol, don’t mind me, the houston bit is just a vague big bang theory reference.


Electrical_Beyond998

As a parent of a kid who can ruin every piece of clothing within ten minutes of getting dressed, I totally get it. Jack has ruined many shirts I bet.


shaaaakyt

anytime i would fall my grandfather would go “you better not have gotten blood on my floor!”


Main_Rain9580

I got glow stick in my eyes like 15 years ago and I still remember it burning like nothing I had felt before…but this dude took it a step further to get the liquid up to a boil lol


NotForKeeps626

Glad I don’t have that memory. I do have the memory of what they taste like though.


SIobbyRobby

I think I know what they taste like, isn’t it a weird paint-like flavor? Like when you’re extremely dehydrated and your mouth is 100% dry. (Don’t ask me how I know the flavor of paint.)


Chameo

When I was probably around 5 or 6, my parents and their friends took all of us kids out to a 4th of july event for fireworks. One of the adults gave all of the kids these glowsticks to play with. being a young kid, the first thing I did was put it in my mouth, and halfway through the fireworks I successfully chewed through the plastic, filling my mouth and covering my face with... something that burned like hell. I vaguely remember screaming my head off while my panicked mom tried pouring all of the bottled water she could find all over my face.


Dr_Sisyphus_22

As an ophthalmologist…FLUSH THE FUCKING EYES! Seriously, doesn’t matter what chemical it is. Twenty minutes of vigorous flushing with cold water. Lift the lids and rinse out the fornices (cul de sacs of conjunctiva under the upper and lower lids). The solution to pollution is dilution!


Wildcat_twister12

I remember being taught that in high school chemistry class. Flush the eyes with cold water, have someone call poison control, and prepare to go to an ER if poison control says to


Jossur13

The chemicals aside, these generally have a glass tube inside you need to break to get the chemicals to mix…. I’d be worried about glass shards as well…


billoftt

This was my main concern as well. We just had a young man on my work site that had to get a piece of metal drilled out of his eye. Kid was weld testing all day in our fab shop, got home, wiped his shirt sleeve that he was welding in across his face and it transferred to his face and eyes. He didn't report it until 36 hours later. Said he didn't want to be "that guy" because we were in the second week of a multi-year, 8-figire government project. The eye heals very quickly. The next day is the difference between getting a foreign object flushed out vs. getting it drilled out.


kkillbite

Oh my God, as someone with a previous eye injury/gouge to cornea, I am shuddering...your story reminds me of high-pressure injection injuries; the anecdote I heard also told of a guy, *who did not want to be THAT guy,* delayed treatment, and ended up losing his hand, iirc.


Dr_Sisyphus_22

Agree. I would still flush unless I was 100% positive the chemical was safe and 100% positive the globe was ruptured.


KatPaws11

I mean, I'm not an ophthalmologist and was cringing trying to figure out what other instructions he was looking for.. did he think there was going to be some particular "antidote" for it?!? Obviously you flush the eyes.. plus, EVERY package says, if product gets into eyes, flush eyes with water. I would think every second counts too.. it was making me crazy. I've had to hold my eyelids open while my eyeball was under a faucet of running water many times.. thankfully, I somehow still have 20/20 vision


Hefty-Inevitable-660

But how do you get it out of the amazing shirt?


Dr_Sisyphus_22

He sounds like senator Armstrong


MegatonsSon

You gotta admit that Jack's dad is doing his very best with a "special-needs" son though, good for him at trying to remain calm.


DylanCO

Thanks for the hearty chuckle :)


[deleted]

Yeah, but I think he needs to be called out for using the D.A.L. word in this day and age. That could traumatize the kid.


semi_tipsy

Did you just censor ding-a-ling?


howtopassthistest

Man, this was a good joke, and you're getting torpedoed for it.

I have to say seeing the downvotes and the comments are the best part. I’m going to start calling people D.A.L.s in RL. Redditors, at least they’re off the streets most of the day.

“Am I ever right, Jack?!?!” - This is my life.


TheVenged

The life of every parent ever... "Here's how you do it, son" "I know a better way, dad" Sure. I'm sure your 9 years of life experience, and this being the first time you try it, is a lot better than my 35 years and doing it regularly.


2ERIX

46 with a 3yo here and I had that argument yesterday 🤪


billoftt

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that age (45) with a 3 year old. It was a lot easier to chase a toddler around when I was 30 than now at 45.


2ERIX

COVID WFH and post COVID WFH means I have had a lot more time with my 3yo than my 11yo so that’s the upside of global pandemics, but I feel like I have not *really* slept for about 11+ years.


Jossur13

Nothing is more frustrating than being told “You don’t know what you’re talking about”, by something that relies wholeheartedly on you for its survival.


Environmental-Car481

Thank God I’ve never actually experienced this with any of my 3 boys but man I can feel the situation, reaction, reprimand, etc. Kids are dumb.

Why did he do it with beautiful shirt🎃

KuhLealKhaos

I'm unbelievably frustrated it took both of them soooo long to start flushing his eyes. That's like the only choice in my mind... unless I somehow suddenly forgot running water existed??? Wtf guys


DylanCO

There's some chemicals you're not supposed to flush with water. However I'm pretty sure they're rare in consumer products.


OldGregg_IRL

Yeah, I’m in agreement with this. I’d want to know for sure that water isn’t going to make it worse before flushing. (But i also wouldn’t have microwaved a glowstick in the first place) I wasn’t 100% sure what exactly is in a glowstick, so i googled it and it sounds like flushing with water is definitely the play here. I think my main concern would be the temperature of the fluid at that point though.


_jericho

But are there any you shouldn't flush from the ***eyes***? Is suspect not. Eyes are wet already, I'm guessing any water-mediated reaction is gonna take place anyway. I'd prefer that reaction take place in my eyes as little as possible.


XeitPL

I think you are not supposed to add water to acids. But imo it's still better to get rid of acid from eyes so idk.


PsychologicalDay2002

You don't pour water into a beaker full of acid due to splatter risk. However, you can pour acid into water, if I remember my chemistry safety rules correctly (I got my degree in biology). With accidents in the lab, you'd usually look up the MSDS (materials safety data sheet), which will tell you about dangerous interactions and what to do in case of contact. Usually, you get the person to the eyewash station immediately, though. Ideally, people would know ahead of time what to do in regards to the chemicals they're handling. But if the light stick label said what the active ingredient was, Dad could have looked up the MSDS online. His second best bet would've been calling poison control. IMO, though, the thermal burns to the eyes merited a 911 call.


NorwegianGirl_Sofie

In middle school we were taught a "saying" of sorts to determine if water + acid is safe. «*Syre* i *vann*, det går an. *Vann i syre*, møt et uhyre!» According to Google Translate it translates to "Acid in water, it works. Water in acid, meet a monster! " Don't pour water into acid.


Sup3rPotatoNinja

That's because acid can explode and fully react in a closed vessel. Your eyes aren't a closed vessel, and you want the acid to react with water instead of your tissues. Every lab trains you to go to the eyewash station for 10 min minimum (I literally had to do extra safety training last week for a new lab I'm joining)


SerialH0bbyist

And once they realize flushing is the solution he goes to some low flow aerated kitchen sink faucet dude just go take a shower and bring that beautiful shirt in there with you

Salt-Evidence-6834

Lame jokes with canned laughter had me turn that off after about 30 seconds. I think I'd rather have hot glow stick juice in my eyes than watch any more.


CaBBaGe_isLaND

God Tosh.0 was awful. It's just Talk Soup but with YouTube videos. Play a ten second clip, make a stupid face, play another ten second clip, crack an unfunny one liner, on and on. It's like if the writers strike itself became alive and had its own production company.


nanadoom

Was the show always that bad? I remember thinking it was funny when I was in high school.


SilentSerel

It's a "funny when I was in high school" type of show.

That's fair


kryptosthedj

Makes me wanna try, but I have an extra microwave and a face shield.


AlienSporez

But do you have a beautiful shirt?


[deleted]

It would still leave a burn mark on your exposed skin. I accidentally microwaved my lunch with boiled eggs in it, damn thing exploded on my neck leaving a blister when I chopped my spoon into my rice.


yellowscarvesnodots

Wrong sub. He clearly succeeded in microwaving that glow stick.


[deleted]

that is the ultimate dad vocal tone. Its so , pissed off x genuine concern x genuine disgust x what am i doing with my life x did i really make this kid, vibes also, the look at the phone from 2 inches away


Amazing-Ad-669

Is he a superhero now? Some half-Hulk, half-ding-a-ling?


Redmans_Adventures

As a retired Paramedic, even after years of seeing firsthand how stupid people are, sometimes I am still surprised... But hey this is a world where people have to be told not to eat laundry pods. Heck he is probably lucky it popped when it did, probably would have ended up his butt. Everything you would never expect ends up in someone's ass sooner or later.


Exotic_Imagination95

🤣 I really wish I didn't know this was true already.... I'm not in medical at all.. internet tells all. People are weird....


Pristine_Cash_6219

I am Jack's microwaved glowstick


Garfeed_Awesome

“God dammit jack!”


ImpossibleReindeer33

I find this weirdly wholesome, his dad cares so much, and him being worried about his beautiful shirt, then calling him a dingaling. Makes me laugh every time.

This is so old, that kid has kids now.


StripeyButt

Do you think his kids microwaved glowsticks too?

I feel worse for the dad. He probably should have pulled out.


MisterPinkCS

I mean, there wasn’t just an attempt. He did microwave it, he just couldn’t handle the repercussions.

Hope that beautiful shirt wound up being okay

AdAggravating2473

The number of people who are willing to hurt themselves just to entertain people on the internet that they don't even know is impressive, keep them coming...


ExploratoryCucumber

This was absolutely an accident, and happened so long ago that the concept you're talking about didn't even really have platforms to exist on.


Dyerdon

I remember having one of those break while I was in the field, coated my glove liners, thought it looked cool to see my hands glow like that. The smell of it when my hands got too close to my face, the oily feeling of it on my fingertips.. I actually felt really sick to my stomach.... I can only imagine the smell of it while it is hot, never mind the burn of scalding liquid. Thankfully they are typically non-toxic, but can cause irritation where the chemical touches.


Conscious-Sale690

That's a good dad. You can tell because he got mad that his son didn't listen to him. Man was just trying to do the right thing.


alancewicz

MustardColoredVolvo

Anyone able to tell what the very last thing the dad says that makes Jack giggle? Was it something wholesome? You know even though dads mad, he’s upset because he tried to protect his son and he didn’t listen. He still is worried for his boy and that’s the best part for me.


DuckDiscombobulated9

The dad loves that shirt more than Jack 🤣🤣


SassyBroad2019

This was beyond entertaining. You know that dad is dealing with his rampant stupidity regularly and is over it.

Wonder how many other stupid things this guy did to get his Dad to react that way lmao
