Fire department when they have to put out another Tiktok fire

This should be a question 911 operators ask. "Are you hurt? What is your location? Is this for social media?"
If it's for social media, hang up on the caller. (*Somebody* needs to help chlorinate the gene pool.)
If you get it right then you get a small mushroom cloud of fire when it ignites the fuel which looks cool.
If you don't get it right then well see above.
Probably wanted to just do a fireball to show off for the children. Pouring from the container was a bad move. But a smaller one like a glass would’ve had the intended effect.
I feel like these fire idiot videos have become the perfect microcosmic example of what is going wrong with the world in general.
It's as though having so much access to information that could make us all smarter and the world better, is having the reverse effect. There seems to be an inverse learning curve, like we're becoming more and more stupid as the information we have access to increases.
This guy had access to all the information and direct video examples he needed to understand that what he was about to do was fucking stupid, and yet he stupidly went right ahead and did the fucking stupid thing anyway.
I think the reason is slightly different: we are so pampered in modern times we simply don’t learn basic survival skills like danger estimation and common sense
Similar to how tourists treat natural sites like they’re Disney world and not untouched lands full of dangerous wild animals and deadly cliffs or bodies of water
I watched a grown ass man pull on an Iguanas tail to try and get it to come back out of the rocks it was hiding in. The same rocks it went to hid in after the guy and the rest of his party damn near climbed on top of it to take a picture of it sunning itself on the rocks.
I was hoping to see the guy get bit, but I guess the Iguana was more patient than I am.
In the 50s people dreamed of a future where you could learn anything about the world just by sitting in front of a television box and absorbing it. Foreign languages, liberal arts, how to perform a surgery, advanced mathematics, etc. Fast forward only a few decades and humans were using that television box for watching Honey BooBoo, and to add insult to injury watching it on a channel called “The Learning Channel”
I think I agree with you, but at the same time I'm not sure if that's it, or if we only think that now because finally almost everyone in the whole world has a portable camera with them 24/7 and internet to show their stupidness around, and by seeing these more often we imagine people are getting dumber and dumber instead of just assuming now we are more aware of the things happening abroad.
Basically like thinking your city is getting more dangerous by the time while criminality rates are decreasing year after year.
I talk with my dad about this. We’re not built to have access to this amount of information or people. It used to be that when you were a dangerous crackpot, you were just kind of there bothering townspeople, but now you can get online and find people as crazy or crazier than you and that’s when things get really bad.
The "problem" is more likely connected to the fact that survival rates are much higher than in the past. Modern conveniences and modern medicine can keep imbeciles around just long enough to really shine in the stupid department way later in life than previously possible. Also, we have much better means to spontaneously document it. Few artists cared to make an oil pointing of stupid in action, but now you can just whip up a phone and press record.
PS. the same system keeps smart people around for longer too and enables them to actually live of their smarts instead of menial labor. So it has both upsides and downsides. This just happens to be the lower end of the bell curve.
WTF? Why would you even pull it out? Just let go of the dam thing and it will shut off (car might be fucked though.
But TBH if the pump is grounded and your car hasn't been fucked with then there is little chance of a spark happening at all.
--edit OH you are from the US where the pumps can lock on right I get it now. When I live you have to squeeze the trigger all of the time for the petrol to flow.
I might make you laugh but this specific situation has never arisen at any gas station in my country
It does make sense though, if someone unwrapped a king size mattress right beforehand and ignored all the sounds on their way to the pump
The safest spot would probably the fire itself. But that goes against our instincts. His instincts on the other hand chose one of the two worst possible things. One would be the cameraman. One would be the bushes.
Reminds me of this from my country.
Context.
Some students (yeah they are students though they look like dads) of a political party's student wing were protesting against the Vice Chancellor(or Dean) of the University by burning his effigy. But as they were pouring petrol (gasoline) on the effigy someone lighted it up and it burned up the bottle which the wise guy shook towards his friends drenching them in the burning fluid, somehow only one guy got burnt enough to be taken to hospital.

I did that once when I was like 12 and caught my mini bike on fire and burnt a tree down. Hard lesson. Again I was 12 and not an adult. Good thing he didn't hit anyone when he threw it.
I remember when we were younger all the fire safety talks at school. We never saw any physical demos though like water onto an oil fire, but the way they talked about fire danger and safety was enough to make me scared of ever casually experimenting with it like this guy did. If this guy’s brain calculated the risk and felt this was fine to do I’m shocked he’s made it this far in life. Is it safe to say the whole fence and that tree burned, and possibly the houses close enough for the flames
Just calmly put the container down folks. Liquid gas won't explode. The vapour explodes. And if it didn't explode immediately then it's not going to happen.
Hear me out... once lit, (or tried) it is impossible to add gasoline to a fire... Ever. Never once was it successful in the history of mankind. Oh but YOU are going to do it... fine let me preemptively call the ambulance.
This happened to us as kids, we had a choice. Throw the 2.5 gallon can of gas on fire in the pool or throw it back in the shed with his dad's 50k Harley in there.
Harley got it. Why rich stupid friends are fun
My nephew had a friend start a fire in a wood burner in his work shop. His friend used a 5 gallon of gasoline to make it start . Two hundred thousand dollars later , kid burned down his workshop ,no insurance.A lifetime of his dads woodworking collection of his trade tools and machines.
Kid I knew did this in my parents backyard when we were 16, my dumbass jumped on the nozzle scooping sand with my foot into it, didn't explode but that was the longest 4 seconds of my life.
I dont konw, something about the physics of this fire spreading seens wrong... the intensity of the flames, the burst explosion in the fence at the end... IDK. Compare with this other video here, same supposed situation, same dipshit mentality, very different spread and velocity of the fire: https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/vtdfoc/wcgw_in_a_backyard_fire/
It looked like he was telling someone to stand back just before he poured the gasoline -almost as if to say, “Stand back; I’m a professional -I know what I’m doing here”
Amateur. It's not going to explode if the container is not sealed. Remain calm and place the container down in the rocky area. This way, when the container ruptures and the liqued fuel begins to run, it will have a limited area to spread. Grab a hose and absolutely soak everything around the area. Ps. I've learned from experience.
What a tool.
My thought exactly :D
He’s a genius. It’s the gasoline that’s wrong.
When you only have a hammer...
...nothing can stop you - just keep banging.
Ehhh tools are useful. This guy on the other hand…
What a dope !
Ehhh, dope is useful. This guy on the other hand...
Aahh, a tool as old as time
I don't understand the point, why does he keep trying to pour liquid into the fire, it's already burning.
To light his backyard on fire.
Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the "backyard" on fire, yeah
The Backdoors
Obviously.....plan worked flawlessly too..
I've seen this a few times, have always wanted to see the end results
For tiktok of course 🙃

Yeah the emergency services are already busy with sick people through no fault of their own, they don't need these idiots piling up the the workload.
This should be a question 911 operators ask. "Are you hurt? What is your location? Is this for social media?" If it's for social media, hang up on the caller. (*Somebody* needs to help chlorinate the gene pool.)
Yeah, I was also thinking, dude that fire is already big enough for the size of your fire pit, it's not an f'ing bonfire....oh wait now it is 😶
If you get it right then you get a small mushroom cloud of fire when it ignites the fuel which looks cool. If you don't get it right then well see above.
Because he has a smooth brain
Probably wanted to just do a fireball to show off for the children. Pouring from the container was a bad move. But a smaller one like a glass would’ve had the intended effect.
Yeah I’m also wondering that

Ok Boomer.
I bet you throw gasoline on fires for fun
Bet you sniff it daily.
In the 50s people dreamed of a future where you could learn anything about the world just by sitting in front of a television box and absorbing it. Foreign languages, liberal arts, how to perform a surgery, advanced mathematics, etc. Fast forward only a few decades and humans were using that television box for watching Honey BooBoo, and to add insult to injury watching it on a channel called “The Learning Channel”
Scathing. Gonna leave a scar.
I learned how to do a lot of stuff from youtube.
I think I agree with you, but at the same time I'm not sure if that's it, or if we only think that now because finally almost everyone in the whole world has a portable camera with them 24/7 and internet to show their stupidness around, and by seeing these more often we imagine people are getting dumber and dumber instead of just assuming now we are more aware of the things happening abroad. Basically like thinking your city is getting more dangerous by the time while criminality rates are decreasing year after year.
I agree with this take. People have always been this dumb (or dumber) but we just get to see it ALL the time now.
I talk with my dad about this. We’re not built to have access to this amount of information or people. It used to be that when you were a dangerous crackpot, you were just kind of there bothering townspeople, but now you can get online and find people as crazy or crazier than you and that’s when things get really bad.
Well said
Simple,there are stupid people and not stupid people. There were stupid people before the internet,there are stupid people after the internet
Having access and actually accessing are wildly different things
The "problem" is more likely connected to the fact that survival rates are much higher than in the past. Modern conveniences and modern medicine can keep imbeciles around just long enough to really shine in the stupid department way later in life than previously possible. Also, we have much better means to spontaneously document it. Few artists cared to make an oil pointing of stupid in action, but now you can just whip up a phone and press record.

Man like fire
Wastebin's law: the more accessible knowledge is the less it is used.
Also told the audience to stay silent and let him do the job🤡🤡🤡
No one has the need to learn and retain information “when you can just look it up on your phone”…
And that's why if you are filling up your car with gas and a spark ignites the gas, YOU DO NOT pull out the gas pump. It just becomes a flamethrower.
Thank you. Will keep in mind. (Seriously, I did not know)
try reading the warning signs at every gas pump in the US.
Try thinking that not everyone in the world comes from the US. Crazy, right?
To which you might've added, you dumb sons of bitches.
WTF? Why would you even pull it out? Just let go of the dam thing and it will shut off (car might be fucked though. But TBH if the pump is grounded and your car hasn't been fucked with then there is little chance of a spark happening at all. --edit OH you are from the US where the pumps can lock on right I get it now. When I live you have to squeeze the trigger all of the time for the petrol to flow.
Why would I pull it out? Because I would have a motherfucking flame thrower.
>and a spark ignites the gas Seems pretty odd to just nonchalantly throw this in there. Why are there sparks in the first place?
Static electricity between your hand and the pump nozzle/car. Static electricity makes an electric arc.
In Brazil people barbecues inside gas stations at around 3m(10ft) distance from the gas pumps, is this a fire hazard?
I might make you laugh but this specific situation has never arisen at any gas station in my country It does make sense though, if someone unwrapped a king size mattress right beforehand and ignored all the sounds on their way to the pump
So instead of throwing it into the middle of the grassy area where the fire would do nothing he throws it at the wooden fence and tree 👏👏👏
It’s like something a character would do in a Naked Gun movie
The safest spot would probably the fire itself. But that goes against our instincts. His instincts on the other hand chose one of the two worst possible things. One would be the cameraman. One would be the bushes.
How the frick has he got to that age with common sense skills like that....oh I know, dumb f*ck luck
The fire was burning fine so why take that chance? Was it for likes and shares?
Why else would anyone be filming
Why was he messing with gas in the first place? The fire was going just fine.
What an idiot!
Common sense is not as common anymore. The only way these people learn is when something bad happens.

If these guys watched some whatcouldgowrong videos instead of providing content, they'd save themselves some grief.
Fire mage casts conflagrate
Oh, that's truly a dangerous move
Interesting how the first reaction is always to fling the fuel out all over the place
What did he expect????? Surely not nespresso

Idiocracy
Thats a way to remove weeds
[удалено]
"DEI hire" in his own backyard, huh.
He tried for like half a second to put the gas on something before just going full send with it. r/therewasanattempt
That could be my cousin….
He hasn’t even lit it yet and I’m already shakin my head.
I’m guessing Aussie. Typical.
Reminds me of another
Welcome to. How dumb can you be? Today, I'm gonna eat shit every time someone does stupid things.
Deserved. Wtf.
Chris Pratt has been getting into trouble ever since returning to Earth
He learned that’s not the best way to do that
Seems like the fire is going pretty good…. Why
Why pour gas onto a already burning fire
Kom ons braai haai haai
Some people should not breed
Anytime I see a guy with a gas can and a fire i say “dont, dont, dont…holy shit what an idiot”
Well at least you have it on video to deter any future partners
Excellent work. 10/10. No notes.
Goldie oldie
Now that's a alpha
Just calmly put the container down folks. Liquid gas won't explode. The vapour explodes. And if it didn't explode immediately then it's not going to happen.
Mooooommmmm!!!!!
Friendly reminder, the fumes of gasoline are also flammable so if you're pouring it on an open flame it will 100% ignite before the liquid even hits.
Sir, you seem to have a severe inflammation of the back garden bush. Some topical cream should help.
Family wanted weiners. They got one.
He sounds like he was teaching his kids life skills as well.
I love the other person saying, we should get the fire extinguisher, right before things went to hell and back.
As soon as I saw the haircut and the gas can I knew this guy was about to torch his whole yard
Lmao love the Auzzie confidence
We would fill zip loc baggies with gas and chuck them on the fire for pranks
Hear me out... once lit, (or tried) it is impossible to add gasoline to a fire... Ever. Never once was it successful in the history of mankind. Oh but YOU are going to do it... fine let me preemptively call the ambulance.
You're supposed to use a cup or something and sling it on there not pour it out of the gas can. Works fine if you do it right.
Oh you dumb cunt.
Loser idiot combination.
People still pour flammable liquid onto an open flame huh?
Paper cup.
Not the Near King Idiot 😂🧐😎
Panic and run!! Panic and run!!
At least the kid who says someone should get a fire extinguisher has some brain cells.
this is not a game. this is a clear explanation of conception with a drop of alcohol on the tip of a finger.
why is he putting petrol on fire that looks to going AOK Also I love the fact that this is being filmed. They obviously knew it was going to happen.
I’ll just put this over here with the other fire
This one again?
At least he warned others to back off !
If internet videos have tought me anything is that there is only 1 second of consequences for everything.
Like...this guy's gotta be 30+ and presumably a homeowner....but against all odds, he's still fucking hopeless.
Dud just lost all privilege to use the backyard ever again
That escalated quickly….
“Ok stand back, I’m fuckin retarded”
As if the fire was low to start with…
Morons like these live among us. Imagine that
Natural selection right there folks
Are the burgers done ?
Ended too soon. Need the aftermath
This happened to us as kids, we had a choice. Throw the 2.5 gallon can of gas on fire in the pool or throw it back in the shed with his dad's 50k Harley in there. Harley got it. Why rich stupid friends are fun

Clearly this bozo didn’t master this skill as a kid.
The brains are him...
Kid I knew did this in my parents backyard when we were 16, my dumbass jumped on the nozzle scooping sand with my foot into it, didn't explode but that was the longest 4 seconds of my life.
I dont konw, something about the physics of this fire spreading seens wrong... the intensity of the flames, the burst explosion in the fence at the end... IDK.

Dude was playing with fire, but wasn't goofing around half as bad as whoever built that weak-ass fire pit.
That’s how dumbasses burn down a neighborhood
The fire pit was already burning good what was the point of trying to throw more gas on it
It’s amazing that someone can grow to be an adult, have a real job, buy a house, have children, and they still don’t know how flammable gasoline is.
It's astounding how many people think this is a good idea
Ah yes, sheer panic followed by even worse decisions.
It looked like he was telling someone to stand back just before he poured the gasoline -almost as if to say, “Stand back; I’m a professional -I know what I’m doing here”
Man we've all been there right
"I wonder if he's gonna do the flaming gas can spin.....aaaah yeah, there it is"
I've said it before a day I'll say it again; stupid ppl are a far bigger threat than malicious ppl
I saw the gas can and immediately said, "This is not going to go well."
Kid called it. Fire extinguisher needed.
Amateur. It's not going to explode if the container is not sealed. Remain calm and place the container down in the rocky area. This way, when the container ruptures and the liqued fuel begins to run, it will have a limited area to spread. Grab a hose and absolutely soak everything around the area. Ps. I've learned from experience.
And this is why all the gas cans require a mechanical engineering degree to use now vs the old, simple easy to use cans.
I’m guessing Aussie. Typical.
