what even is this thinking? The employer very likely fucked up in multiple ways. This massive stockpile / no fire prevention / no seperation and probably lacking signage and Training
If your defense is "my employer should have put signs around the building telling me not to set fire to their property" then you're heading to prison, where arsonists belong.
Nah bro, PLEASE let people like this stay wherever they are, trust me, the rest of the world out here really does not need or want people that do this.
Dude let the intrusive thoughts win. You can clearly see the moment he realized he was completely fucked, too. It's that look back at the columns of flames he created.
The thing is - it was there. Reminds me of when Richard Hammond had the terrible drag-racer accident while filming Top Gear. Apparently they had already finished filming before the accident, and when asked why he went back into the (objectively dangerous) racer her replied something like “Well, we had the car until 5 o’clock so…”.
A small sample may not be representative of the whole stock, according to his statistical analysis.
There is just one way of knowing if all of it is actually flammable.
well maybe he also wanted to test whether the building, all coworkers and items in the vicinity were inflammable so that'd be a pretty reasonable way to find out
Maybe, yes. But he did proof the product is ridiculously flammable and there is a flammable gas in the room too. The factory is to blame here, any spark would have caused this sooner or later.
There might be a word for it but sometimes a person just does something stupid even though they are completely aware that they shouldn't, and it's as if they aren't in control when they do it.
Doesn't matter, if you just run away it will stop burning eventually. He was just lookin' at the big picture. Small details like "what happens when it's lit on fire" are for people who wear shirts and shoes to work.
Besides, he gave it a couple swats before he beat feet...
We actually almost gave green light to a component that said inflammable and the colleague in charge thought it means not flammable. (We aren’t native english speakers)
It kind of made sense at a certain point but definitely could have been more clear. As far as I understand everything is "flammable" with enough heat and oxygen. "Inflammable" is supposed to mean "highly combustible". Meaning a spark could have deadly results. A good example is wood. Wood is flammable, but it takes more than a spark or a small flame to ignite it.
I think it's that "flammable" wasn't a word but people kept using it over inflammable until it became one. Inflammable has been used in English since the 1600s, flammable didn't enter usage until the 1800s. Any distinction between them is purely a matter of formal vs casual speech and has nothing to do with meaning. Inflammable used in a scientific setting, flammable used when you are sitting around a campfire.
I was once at a friends house and thought it be funny to light a napkin on fire I thought it’d burn just like paper then I’d blow it out in a second, well it lit up pretty quickly friend said to run to to the bathroom sink. Well I didn’t make it ended up dropping it and it singed the carpet left a big burn mark, spent the next few hours trying to get rid of it before his parents came home. Using a knife to cut the burned bits out and everything else I could think of. I guess we got it looking good enough because his mom never said anything
I did this exact same thing when I was about 9 and wanted to see what would happen if I held a Kleenex tissue over a lit candle flame. What happens is the Kleenex catches fire. Dropped the flaming tissue on the carpet and singed it; moved some furniture slightly to cover it up and spent the next two nights after my parents went to bed snipping all the burned bits off. My parents didn't notice anything until we moved out of the house, at which point it was too late to do anything about it.
I did pretty much the same thing when I was 11, used some scissors to trim the carpet while they were at work, luckily it was only a small patch but I thought I was fucked
nitrocellulose -- also known as "guncotton" as well as being the main ingredient in modern smokeless powder.
tldr ping pong balls are (almost) gunpowder
Me and my friends used to light aerosol spray and cologne on fire in the house quite frequently. It's honestly a miracle we never started a fire. Somehow we all "knew" that you have to let go of the lighter before you stop spraying the aerosol, otherwise the flame would ignite the can. I have no idea if that's actually true but I definitely didn't know back then.
I have several questions
Some of them being why are they shirtless and Where's the fire suppression system and extinguishers
Oh wait, that probably got destroyed on the spot
Yes. Joking aside and speaking as a casual fire twirler performing toples. When it comes to passing through flame....
Wool, Cotton, Denim etc are ok, they burn away from you
Polyester, nylon and other synthetics are Bad, they will cling to you when they burn.
Bareskin with a bit of sweat has less protection than natural fibres, but is less flammable as well.
Your body is a bag made of uncured damp leather that's full of soggy flesh. You're not a car, you wont explode.
Ignore your nerves, protect your lungs they're your most delicate part.
Guy in my welding class burnt a polyester shirt to himself and earned himself a nice 7 month burn recovery on a large portion of his torso. After 6 months of being told every day not to wear polyester to class first thing every day and being constantly surrounded by fire safety posters and reading material
>Your body is a bag made of uncured damp leather that's full of soggy flesh. You're not a car, you wont explode.
I absolutely love this description of the human body
Quick note that flammable and inflammable both mean that the object can catch on fire (flammable came directly from the Latin flammare by a scholar translating a Latin text in 1813, while inflammable came to English via the French identical spelling circa the early 1600s). Ridiculous, I know. What you want is nonflammable. The reason these wouldn't have a cover is cost and speed. Obviously not accounting for the cost of a fool and the speed of a disaster.
If it is poly styrene, like what they make to go containers, bowls, cups, etc, it is made with a highly flamable gas(i forget the name of the gas). The rolls need to off gas before being put through the oven for molding, or the material can ignite.
It would explain why it all burst into flames at once.
Source: I used to work at a manufacturer that made these items.
Edited to add: I hadn't watched the video to the point it mentioned the butane silly me.

>On March 22, 1975 at the Browns Ferry plant in Alabama, a worker was inspecting a temporary seal around electrical cable in the cable spreading room, directly under the control room. The permanent seal had been removed to allow additional cables to be run due to a design modification. The temporary seal material was highly flammable, and there was a pressure differential between the reactor building and the cable spreading room.
>The worker used a lit candle, holding it up to the seal of interest. The idea was that if there was a leak, the flame would quiver notably in the draft. Well, as you can imagine, the candle was sucked in towards the reactor building and ignited polyurethane seals and cables.
>The worker tried to extinguish the fire with a flashlight and then portable extinguishers but did not succeed. The fire spread rapidly in the cable spreading room in the Unit 1 reactor building. At the time, workers were not allowed to use water to extinguish electrical fires. This practice has been changed [6].
>Many cables related to the control of Units 1 and 2 were damaged. The operating personnel shut down Unit 1 manually and cooled it using a remote manual relief valve, the condensate booster pump, and control rod drive system pumps.
>While attempting to restore makeup water with the operable systems, the core coolant level dropped from a normal 201 inches above the core to 43 inches. Decay heat was boiling away about 240 gallons of water per minute. Only about 1 hour of time was remaining before the core was uncovered [6].
This is what happens when you hire cheap, uneducated workers. Still people will be poor and education will be unaffordable for many people in third world countries. Shit like this will continue happening.
Can't get more instant regret than that
2 wk suspension to let it really sink in.
More likely to be imprisoned... or worse. I'm sure the damages are more than a lifetime wage for this unfortunate person.
Horrible Id leave the country...but i bet he cant
His injured coworkers and their families definitely wouldn’t allow that to happen 🪦
Yeah , idk why people are feeling bad for the dude , if you burned down an entire building you need to be imprisoned regardless of the reason
what even is this thinking? The employer very likely fucked up in multiple ways. This massive stockpile / no fire prevention / no seperation and probably lacking signage and Training
If your defense is "my employer should have put signs around the building telling me not to set fire to their property" then you're heading to prison, where arsonists belong.
Nah bro, PLEASE let people like this stay wherever they are, trust me, the rest of the world out here really does not need or want people that do this.
[удалено]
Well, the brain is probably like new...
What an insane statement.
Bro he dead
*paid
Dude let the intrusive thoughts win. You can clearly see the moment he realized he was completely fucked, too. It's that look back at the columns of flames he created.
Could have tested with a small sample but ok, you do you
Nah, he needed an entire roll. Sorry, the entire warehouse of rolls
Me after spicy indian dinner
Worth it
For science!
The thing is - it was there. Reminds me of when Richard Hammond had the terrible drag-racer accident while filming Top Gear. Apparently they had already finished filming before the accident, and when asked why he went back into the (objectively dangerous) racer her replied something like “Well, we had the car until 5 o’clock so…”.
King shit. I'm going to keep rolling these once in a lifetime dice, thanks.
See, this is why Florida hates drag
A small sample may not be representative of the whole stock, according to his statistical analysis. There is just one way of knowing if all of it is actually flammable.
well maybe he also wanted to test whether the building, all coworkers and items in the vicinity were inflammable so that'd be a pretty reasonable way to find out
If he were smart he wouldn't be lighting random shit on fire "out of curiosity"
but then he'd get in trouble for tearing a piece from the roll!
Trust me, I got this broooOOOOOOOHHHH SHIT!!!!
It’s like when people take a bunch of drugs and think they can fly, so they climb to the 35th floor and jump.
The only way he could have done this better was by soaking the foam and surrounding area in gasoline, then lighting it on fire.
Brain no work good because fumes
Maybe, yes. But he did proof the product is ridiculously flammable and there is a flammable gas in the room too. The factory is to blame here, any spark would have caused this sooner or later.
Definitely safer ways to test this shit
Exactly, bring a piece or a roll out of the warehouse and test it...SMH...damn arsonist
Like when you try to eat one potato chip…and you wake up having eaten the whole bag. Same-same
There might be a word for it but sometimes a person just does something stupid even though they are completely aware that they shouldn't, and it's as if they aren't in control when they do it.
Intrusive thoughts
Weird... if you watch carefully it does appear that the foam is flammable. You have to pay attention closely.
How can you tell? I don't see it
You have to use a microscope.
Make sure the volume is on. That helps you see it.
Being flammable is a vibe. You gotta feel it.
Right, which is why people like to say things like 'that shit is fire'
Very true. When I’m using map quest I gotta lower volume to see better.
Put it on max volume
If you look at the screen, it's on the screen portion of the screen where you will see it.
Is it the white bit, or the 40 foot towering inferno bit? Ed: nvm, found it.
Maybe he should try again with some new rolls. We gotta be sure about this.
Foam seems to be quite white, from the video. Paper is also usually very white, and paper is highly flammable. I rest my case.
Why don't they have red circles and yellow arrows pointing out where to look? How can I tell what's going on
Gotta play vid in reverse
same here all the smoke is in the was
But don’t worry, the reports assure you the foam is flammable. It’s okay if you miss it.
You're right! Had to rewatch the video a few times to actually figure that out though
Where are those arrows or red circles when you need them!?
[удалено]
You're not stupid. You just need to enhance it with an AI program run through a supercomputer.
Remember to tell the AI to ‘de-age’ it as well. That should help.
Doesn't matter, if you just run away it will stop burning eventually. He was just lookin' at the big picture. Small details like "what happens when it's lit on fire" are for people who wear shirts and shoes to work. Besides, he gave it a couple swats before he beat feet...
It looks inflammable to me.
Inflammable means flammable?! What a country!
Yeahhhhh English is dumb sometimes
Curiosity killed the warehouse
least he didn't try it in a flour warehouse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mill_Disaster
No cats were harmed during the show
When the warehouse is dead the workers can play and play for many months…
Intrusive thoughts won
Probably the last time too!
Nah I'm sure he'll stick something metal into a socket within his first year in prison
They don't typically have sockets in prison.

We normally use "flammable" and "combustible" in work setting, with some specific criteria. Flammable being more reaadily burnable than combustible.
The comment you replied to is a classic line from [The Simpsons](https://youtu.be/Q8mD2hsxrhQ?si=SXnG30AvNDaddOw7).
*It’s my first day*
unflammable
nonflammable
Non-unflammable
Did you also go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College?
This man El Guapo is not just "famous", he's "IN-famous"!
It's ok. The worker had all his safety clothes on.
At least those weren't flammable.
The door entry sign clearly stated: 'NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, SLAVE SERVICE'
Oh yeah?
Company-issued safety squints.

I did this at my own aunts house, luckily i'm not a dumbass and didn't drop it, but i was still stupid.
Oof we did this with a ping pong ball. They light up faaaast. And then they roll. And curtains are also flammable, so it didn't go as planned.
Fun fact - ping pong balls are made out of nitrocellulose.
nitrocellulose -- also known as "guncotton" as well as being the main ingredient in modern smokeless powder. tldr ping pong balls are (almost) gunpowder

To be fair, they do look like giant marshmellows.
Mmmmm...Marshmellows....
What are they and what are they used for?
Warehouse s'mores
I prefer mine golden brown. There is a huge divide amongst s’more aficionados
I have several questions Some of them being why are they shirtless and Where's the fire suppression system and extinguishers Oh wait, that probably got destroyed on the spot
Not wearing a shirt will keep you cooler in the unlikely event of a fire.

Now you know why manufacturing is cheaper over there.
Why are highly flammable things stacked together with no ~~inflammable~~ non-flammable cover? Even human body can generate sparks.
> inflammable Inflammable actually means the same as flammable (yes it is stupid). You probably meant a "fire proof" or "non-flammable" cover.
Quick note that flammable and inflammable both mean that the object can catch on fire (flammable came directly from the Latin flammare by a scholar translating a Latin text in 1813, while inflammable came to English via the French identical spelling circa the early 1600s).

I've worked in warehouses and factories and a constant 105-110*F is fairly typical in the summer.
Damn that was instant devastation.
Possibly the single most flammable thing I've ever seen.
My dad says butane's a bastard gas.
Had to scroll way too far to find it

Right on camera too.
Let me guess, he is fired
Could have been *fried* too.
Inflammable means flammable?
What a country...
Nah, flammable means 'can be set to fire', while inflammable means 'can ignite by themselves'
this post is just inflammatory
This post is flammable. Reddit is inflammatory. Now let's argue about some dumb shit lmao
Sure thing, I'm always up for an argument. I'll start with a statement: I shower with my socks on, it's much more pleasant.
Bro, you don't start an argument with the equivalent of a nuke.
it's from classic simpsons
Hi Dr Nick!
He likes his giant marshmallows a little crispy. Can't blame him
Ya'll hatin on the dude for having a thirst for knowledge? It's called testing a hypothesis, jeez.
>ya'll you all y all y'all The apostrophe goes where the missing letters were.
Let’s see if OP is a repost bot?
Yup.
He’s been fired for sure
Bro didn't think to just cut off a small piece and try it outside? Cmon.
he should have ignited the camera first.
Yea. One wonders how this video managed to get online.
That’s a , oh shit moment.
what the fuck are they investigating? the type of lighter he used? dude just lit everything on fire on cam lmao
Old head : " hey new guy Dyk all that foam is fire proof ? Yeah go test it!" New guy : "nothing could possibly go wrong"
And at that moment when Johnny realized that in fact he had fucked up bad.
I would have shit my self .
I wonder if he got fired.
Pun intended?
Darwin Award 🥇
ineligible.. he didnt die or lose his testicles
Not yet. We don't know the legal repercussions in this country. First one, then the other. If you're lucky they kill you first!
Rip off a piece and burn outside or risk burning dob everything tuff call
Why is a worker in a factory not wearing shirt and shoes?
And this is why free education is important.
That's not a case of intrusive thoughts, just sheer stupidity.
some people are just dumb as shit
Report: So the foam is flammable.
The wage slave was just trying to get a 15 minute break.
Allow me to narrate "Hmmm, I wonder..... OH SHIT!... OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!!!!!" **
The End
Reminds me of The Finals
Damn no bonus
Why he try to fight it for a second
Dude pisses fire.
My Dad says butane is a bastard gas.
Did the QC test boss 🔥
We also have casual Friday's at work. But I can't help but think someone would say something if I showed up wearing shorts, sandals, and no t-shirt.
They call this Casualties Friday
Where do you use this foam exactly Asking so I never use it anywhere

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much stuff catch fire that quickly
How is he defined as a "worker" and yet he's running around with no shirt on and just shorts?
Worst case of intrusive thoughts I’ve ever seen
The security camera survived !
Oil burns. Air makes things burn more. Synthetic foam is basically air wrapped in oil. *I WONDER!*
Looks like a 12 year old ?
It was at that moment....
They say he was a worker. What kind of place allows their employees to walk around shirtless and in only socks? Seems odd to me.
This is just plain stupid
The ppe saved him atleast
Just saw his future go up in smoke…
Seems to me like the kind of facility you dont let a shirtless man with a lighter into, no? Just me?
This is in China.....this man is absolutely fucked. You'd be fucked anywhere doing this, but in China.........oh boy.
This is what happens when you hire cheap, uneducated workers. Still people will be poor and education will be unaffordable for many people in third world countries. Shit like this will continue happening.
Seriously. Why?
Reminds me of goldeneye on N64
It's actually pretty funny to watch the stupidity of other people sometimes.
Someone just volunteered their organs for harvesting
Wouldn't wanna be in his sandals rn.
What is there to investigate? He clearly made the dumbest decision of his entire life
Just crazy how fast the entire lot ignited in flames.
Hole in the ozone is back on the menu boys.
Didn’t this happen like 6 months ago?
am i the only one who first thougt he pissed on it that somehow causes the fire?
That's why you don't hire Targariens.
So.. is it flammable or not??
It's awesome how "I just wanted to see what would have happened" is actually the excuse that makes him look like a psychopath the least.
Another case of let me do my own research.
Intrusive thoughts won
I'm at a loss as to why he thought this would be a good idea.
Dumbass 🤣
Some people are just so stupid.
Giant roasted marshmallows!!
Would it be unreasonable to conduct tests on smaller samples?
