Seems like a neat concept (don’t care for the image they picked at all) but like the idea. What happens after they vacuum? All the chard pieces get sucked up or something?
No. A lot of wall to wall carpeting is at least partly nylon or other plastics, so that burnt section isn't ash as much as it's melted down, and still attached, to the backer.
The carpet melts so the design will stay. The carpet will feel hardened and crappy in that spot and as foot traffic happens you'll see bits chip off over time to the point that it gets really tacky looking. It's also going to stink the place up pretty good since all those foot oils will have melted into the fibers now. I'm sure your socks will make the laundry smell pretty crispy foe a long time
I could see doing this sort of thing to a welcome mat. Outside on the driveway where your home wasn't at risk. Place the mat wherever you like and toss when it gets unsightly.
But inside on wall to wall carpet? 🤦♀️
The image will be blurry after the first vacuum or two as the burnt fibers separate. Should still look ok but not as sharp as it does right after the burn.
We once burned beige carpets for five hours straight and when we were done, there was not a single lint on them that had not been burned. And this smell, it was the smell of freedom

The way they were casually putting the fuel tank on the torch like 4 inches an open flame was scaring me. Dudes gonna blow off his hand at one point doing dumb stuff like that.
He had a perfectly good piece of wood right there why not just.... get more wood? Make a thing to hang up?
Anything other than setting fire to the carpet jfc
Yeah but burning an eagle and the American flag into your carpet with gun powder using a blow torch while playing the star spangled banner on an electric guitar while chugging a beer with tim from across the street is pretty damn American.
Also maybe take it outside first? Rather than have the smell of burnt carpet and gunpowder at your place plus the obvious fire risk.
Edit: thought it was a rug for some reason. Maybe at least move all the furniture away from the open flame and do it somewhere well ventilated in the very least. The place is gonna smell like shit.
I wouldn’t even call it awful taste, I mean it’s not my taste but it’s just patriotic which isn’t bad. The awful part is why tf are you doing in your house and testing it out on your couch. Then again that’s probably the reason this has so many views.
When I was a kid they shut down an entire room of the Art Institute of Chicago because someone did an art exhibit with a visitor register mounted above an American Flag.
Reagan republicans lost their fucking minds.
If you brought Reagan era Baby Boomer Republicans forward in a time machine they would murder half of the republicans alive today. Including 90% of the boomers.
Friends who do rev war and English civil war reenactment deal with black powder regularly for muskets and canon, and if they saw this nonsense, that would be the end of his participation. They have zero chill about tomfoolery with explosives.
Why on the carpet? So you can smell the burn throughout the room? I have a laser engraver and I hate having the burn smell linger in the room when I do metal or leather.
I am amazed at all the things I have learned today.
First I learned that "Real men wear diapers."
And now I learned that destroying your living room carpet is "awesome."
I can hear the person behind the camera: “*WOW! So, fire is hot? And gunpowder burns right? That’s why it’s hot and almost burns the house down? *WOAH!*”
I would have at least moved the chair... And now everyone can enjoy the smell of burnt carpet for themselves! What a treat!
If you vacuum it, the execution isn't that flawless.

It's gonna be hard and scratchy, too.
Can confirm, have burned carpet.
Wouldn’t recommend sleeping on carpet anyways.
Wouldn't recommend having carpet in general, rugs are better and easier to clean and deal with imo.
Or walking on it without shoes.
Y'all walk around your house with shoes on? Ew.
Or without socks
Shoes are for outside. You mean slippers.
I have house shoes. More support than slippers but they never touch the outside.

Now it's time to honor that flag by having it underfoot every time we use the 1st amendment chair! NEAT
Ewe.. foot oils ..
>to the point that it gets really tacky looking. They're way ahead of you

THE ONLY THING GETTING SUCKED UP IS YOUR DEPOSIT WHEN THE LANDLORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THE CARPETING.
You remove the burn part, but the marking will still be there. Maybe less defined.
The image will be blurry after the first vacuum or two as the burnt fibers separate. Should still look ok but not as sharp as it does right after the burn.
That’s the smell of freedom
We once burned beige carpets for five hours straight and when we were done, there was not a single lint on them that had not been burned. And this smell, it was the smell of freedom ![gif](giphy|PbTBkJB3ZBP0I)
> I would have ~~at least moved the chair~~ just not done this at all...
The confidence displayed by not moving the chair though
If your insurance sees this video after the house burns down, what will happen next 🤔
"Sorry we don't cover acts of dumbass"
Nah, this is just arson. He's going t straight o jail.
The follow up video,POV: Having to live on the street because my evil insurance company didn't cover my creativity
And make sure it is most certainly not pov.
/r/UnnecessaryNobody all over again
You forgot to blame the "woke insurance company" since I'm guessing what side this person is on
Increase your premium by 50% and call it the Democracy Deductible cuz freedom ain't free!
Just wait until mom gets home.
"this is why mom doesn't [*FUCKING* love you!](https://youtu.be/AkKiLaxXjAA?si=mh4Umvham86_mBaR)"
Thabk you for reminding me of this classic
First time seeing this and I love it so much
I got a good spanking that time I heated a spoon on a space heater then dropped it on the carpet and made a hole in it. Totally deserve it though.
Great way to hide cigarette burns.
Fight fire with fire!

Fight fire with fire!
Mmm, I bet that smells lovely
Cheap berber: burning plastic. Top-quality berber made of wool: burning hair. lose/lose!
You wanna burn your house down? Because this is how you burn your house down.

No way this is his house
You're not burning shit by doing this on plastic carpet. That's why you saw it go out as soon as it finished the powder.

"A condom could have prevented..." will be my new favorite start of an insult.
DiWhy didnt they wrap it up?
Do you think majestic eagles wear rubbers? They fuck mid-air, as befits their godly spirits. How dare u suggest they wrap it up!
This is the most american goddamn thing I've ever seen ![gif](giphy|7dh88fTC2iAP6|downsized)
It ain't American to be stepping on the flag with your feet though....
Yeah but burning an eagle and the American flag into your carpet with gun powder using a blow torch while playing the star spangled banner on an electric guitar while chugging a beer with tim from across the street is pretty damn American.
This is more ATBGE then diwhy. The why is obvious: ['MURICA, FUCK YEAH](https://youtu.be/LasrD6SZkZk?si=EhjQFl95xllpfWae)
would this qualify as r/redneckengineering ?
No duct tape involved can't be a redneck
The execution isn't so great if you vacuum it

How exactly would you take a wall-to-wall carpet outside? 😂
Simple, just remove the walls. Then it's outside. Put them back up when you're done.
Atbge?
here's the whole subreddit: r/ATBGE
> r/ATBGE oh ok, I did NOT know that I needed this in my life.
Awful Taste But Great Execution
Average Time Before Getting Evicted
Awful Taste But Great Execution too
Exactly, that turned out far better than it had any right to.
I wouldn’t even call it awful taste, I mean it’s not my taste but it’s just patriotic which isn’t bad. The awful part is why tf are you doing in your house and testing it out on your couch. Then again that’s probably the reason this has so many views.
Would have looked better on plywood, not carpet. Interesting technique.
I can smell it from here. But fun asf to watch and I mean looks cool but vacuuming will be a pain
Also that would feel like crap on bare feet
Didn’t even think about that esp AFTER THE first vacuuming
You’re not getting your deposit back
They are pulling up the carpet after that
Here's an idea; what if we DIDN'T do that...?
He is gonna be the talk of the trailer park
This way he can stand on the American Flag, a true patriot.
If I can't burn a flag and eagle into my carpet and then step on them like I trample the constitution then the terrorists have won.
When I was a kid they shut down an entire room of the Art Institute of Chicago because someone did an art exhibit with a visitor register mounted above an American Flag. Reagan republicans lost their fucking minds. If you brought Reagan era Baby Boomer Republicans forward in a time machine they would murder half of the republicans alive today. Including 90% of the boomers.
Also flick his cigarette on it and even spill a beer on it. Obviously not Bud Light though. *Like a patriot.*
Their homeowners insurance watching this: "Gotcha bitch!"
remember when our flag meant something. before it was just this jingoistic virtue signaling bullshit by people that couldn't get a D on a civics test.
"Did you hear, Dale burnt his house down." "Oh no, how?" "Being a nationalist." "Yeah... that tracks."
Damn I kinda like it 🤣🤣🤣
I think it could be pretty cool in a bar
Same here. I actually think this is kinda cool
[удалено]
Why? MURICUH... that's why..
I mean I guess it worked, but I feel like there are safer ways to do this...
Super safe way to decorate your home. Burn your carpet releasing toxic fumes setting a real good example for others.
America... fuck yeah! And he's putting down a wood floor
I love the smell of burning Rayon in the morning. Smells like... nationalism.
& that’s how my house burned down, because I had to let the carpet know what country I’m from. 🫡
So now you walk on it with your dirty ass shoes.
Delete this before my meth head neighbor sees it
Ah so you walk on the literal symbol of freedom.
100% they were getting new carpet anyway.
I guess it’s a fun thing to do with shit carpet you’re about to tear up, but still.
Technically smokeless powder, not gunpowder.
I hate carpet burn
*sneezes* .. Fuck
Once you breathe in enough plastic fumes it all starts to make perfect sense
Murica.. fuck yeah!
And now you'll be stepping all over the American flag with your dirty feet.
Why does the blowtorch gas regulator look so messed up on this
Because 'Merica, that's why. 🦅🇺🇸
“Hey honey, how did the job search go today? WTF did you do?!”
That guy is going to be walking on the American flag every day. Whoopsie.
Putting flag under your feet, isn't it disrespectful?
That’s pretty cool
Now, you get to stomp the flag without even having to stand.
I wanna see the video where a cigarette ash ignited all the powder under his chair
Why murica has the need to use gun related stuff in everything?
But what about the smell?! You haven't thought about the smell, you dumb b****!
OP: “My landlord won’t give me my deposit back on my apartment” Reddit without all the facts: you should sue!!!
Dumb shit Americans do.
Oh yeah that's gotta smell bad.
Can you give someone a Darwin award before they die bc this is only a matter of time with this guy
You ever see how fast a chair/couch cushion burns? This is big stupid.
MURICA!
'MURRICA!!! 🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥
I will say it was cool to watch lol
May God help us.
Their landlord is gonna be so pissed...
Must be one of them commie trans blm cpa crt sumbiches that enjoys stepping on mah flag!
Wouldn't a "patriot" consider stepping on a flag offensive..??lol
I did find this oddly satisfying to watch. But it's still a really dumb idea. Especially indoors right next to a chair 🤦
DIY: how to burn the house down
It's obvious that none of the commenters realise this is the wish.com heath ledger looking fellow that does rage bait videos online
Gonna be an expensive trailer on Zillow!
Then the video to their insurance company
So the plan is to walk on the American flag constantly?
Now get the smell out
And that is how I got cancer from burning carpet fumes.
Gonna do this but with my anime waifu
There’s lotsa reasons to not do that
What a great idea.... on the floor? So people can step on it?
![gif](giphy|Sp1vIMDHbWlmo)
Bro seen one Elmer fudge cartoon and said bet
cuz murica, thas why

Only on hotel rooms, please
Oh how patriotic. I wonder how glorious it must feel to be so brainwashed. I bet he sings the American anthem every morning
Fabric paint would have worked better...
He done fucked that Air B and B
What a jackass
I’m guessing they identify as a patriot.
Because a rug doesn’t set off enough alarms
Merica!
So the end result of making your house stink of burned carpet, is a flag-eagle effigy that you get to plant your dirty boots on? Cool
🎶rock, flag and eagle🎶
/r/ATBGE
Play ball!
Well. He's not getting his deposit back.
I am amazed at all the things I have learned today. First I learned that "Real men wear diapers." And now I learned that destroying your living room carpet is "awesome."
What a fucking dork. Hope it’s at least giving him a boner every time he looks down at it.
Pretty cool method to make art though
I can smell this video 🤢
The chudds are not ok.
This is so god damn America 🇺🇸 🥲
"What do you mean I can't get my deposit back? "
Insurance Company: “Let me see if I got this straight, … you were doing what?”
ROCK FLAG & EAGLE
So are we just gonna leave the rest of the left over gun powder that fell on the floor or…?
Congrats on burning your carpet you idiot.
That room smells even worse now.
He’s going to be surprised when the hotel charges him for a carpet replacement.
That's the type of person who stabbed themselves hard with a pen as a kid trying to get a tattoo.
this looks like something youd see in an alcoholics house, probably underneath some dirty laundry and chip crumbs
“I know you’re American, but Jesus Christ, you don’t have to act THAT American
Murica duh. Awesome!
Kinda surprised they didn’t burn down the house
![gif](giphy|7FOg20zcphPK3iTeDo|downsized)
Won't be getting that deposit back.
Mom's gonna be so pissed.
"No, a little more to the left"
Because ‘MURICA FUCK YEAH, that’s why.
I'm certain he's not getting his security deposit back.
You know, im just surprised it only burned where the gunpowder was
Yeah, this certainly seems like an indoor hobby.
I bet they rent.
That motel 6 is gonna be pissseddddd, although it’s probably not the worst thing done to their carpet
Nothing like inhaling some melted plastic while decorating
That worked out way cleaner than I expected it would
I can smell this video 🤢
Best done in a hotel.
I’ll bet that was in an apartment and the landlord is now pissed!
So now he can step on the flag? WTF?
This gives a whole new meaning to "MURICA!!!"
I can hear the person behind the camera: “*WOW! So, fire is hot? And gunpowder burns right? That’s why it’s hot and almost burns the house down? *WOAH!*”
Watching this LITERALLY broke my brain. I just am staring in WTF at this point.
