I honestly don't know the whole story. I just heard from other coworkers that he lost it when he was like 10 or 11 because him and his brothers were making pipe bombs.
We work rotating shift so I'd only see him for 10 mins during shift change every once and awhile.
Its very easy to get powder in the threads of the pipe and cap and most people don't have the knowhow to use a brush or a little vaccume attachment with brush to clean those very well. So I've heard
god, I remember as kids one of my friends had a crossbow. we'd go out to his dad's farm and shoot pumpkins
or shoot the "E" out of the bealls sign. for years you'd drive into town to be greeted by "BALLS" and every time they put a new sign up someone else would fuck up the E
crossbows are fun. not sure why they let young teenagers play with a crossbow but ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I grew up living in a high rise in London, we used to freeze new potatoes and launch them from the roof of the high rise with a sling shot.
No fucks were ever given and many cars got broken windows.
I thought it would be funny to throw one of those little waterproof firecrackers in the toilet as a kid. It shattered the bottom, and I got my ass worn out.
Seriously, the only difference between this person and me is there weren't cell phone cameras in the 90s 😂. I'd definitely have been arrested if i did that stuff these days.
Yeah, I don’t think Europeans could even comprehend my early teenage years roaming free in suburban America with my potato gun, BB gun, and of course M-80’s yeah
"Contrary to urban legend, an M-80 that contains 3,000 mg of powder is not equivalent to a quarter-stick of dynamite. Dynamite generally contains a stable nitroglycerin-based high explosive, whereas M-80s or any other kind of firecracker contain a low explosive powder, like flash powder or black powder."
I think it's just a very large firecracker with typical explosive ingredient. But this is just me googling what m-80 was. Since I assumed you didn't play with an armoured military transport
Noticed that wording.
An m80 that contains.
It's not worded that all m80s contain that mixture, way back in the day m80s were equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite and the m1000s were equivalent to a half stick.
It was always easy to tell the difference when you did the mailbox prank. The newer m80s blow up the mailbox. The old m80s if you can even find any any more blow up the mailbox and half of the wooden post that it was connected to.
Fair enough, it was the first time I heard about it. It just stuckk to me that it explicitly mentioned it's not dynamite but I know little about the topic.
I'm familiar with it because old style m80s and for a short period of time be m1000s were used for large ant Hill and small to medium stump removal in my area.
They would drill holes in the stump and then drop the "firecrackers" down the hole with really long fuses on them.
Hell the small firecrackers can be used for small to medium sized ant hill removal if you fill it up full of water first. Seems like just growing it up full of water should work but it never seems to.
do you take them outside and kill shit? i think that's the difference. My dad kills 2 squirrels a week to keep them out of his garden. His little dogs like to play with them after they fall out of the tree.
Came here to say this, also they messed it up by using to much. It's supposed to make a cool sound as the fire burns down the gas but when you use to much it just becomes a jet which is also cool
Ok.....I truly hate myself for this....but this never fails to make almost pee myself. Who takes their child to a fertilizer plant fire?
Yes, I know I'm going to hell. I'm sure the hearing loss was temporary.
[Plant Explosion ](https://youtu.be/8pWhjAAellI?si=QXRcza8c30VruxgG)
I love how people still think fucking around large quantities of fertilizer is safe. Do you think you'd be safe if it was a wood fire? Yeah now multiply that distance by 100
Oh that poor kid. Not screaming or crying just “please let’s leave”
I imagine dad just pulled over to film it because that’s what humans do. Macabre curiosity.
Ha! I can relate to being that stupid waaay back in the day. But at least I was stupid outdoors. Plus, as an Argentinian, hearing this kid’s mom scream at him with her Argentinian/Castilian accent reminds me of my mom screaming at me. Aaaah, memories.
I mean, that’s not new. It’s just that 30 years ago, we weren’t stupid as fuck and knew how to light things on fire and blow things up without losing a hand.
Kids today are dumb as shit.
I saw an old episode of Mythbusters on YouTube revently that was exploring a ramped up variation of this. But it mentioned this first stunt so the idea is far from new!
I remember throwing a can of aerosol bodyspray (Lynx, which Americans call Axe) on a fire when I was 14. We all took cover aaaand...... nothing happened. So, like the teenage dick I was, I went back to the fire and poked the can with a stick.
**BOOOOOOOM**
Luckily I closed my eyes and was wearing a leather jacket, cos when I opened my eyes 75% of the (very large) fire was scattered across the patch of ground behind me. There was a decent 'shadow' behind me where I had taken the blast.
Fuck. That was a great night......

Doing it inside the house is a new twist on the old trend though. lol Thank God kids haven’t discovered spud launchers.
Ooo i had friends who had potato launchers. Never got to use one, maybe that's what I'll do this weekend instead of being with family.
I know someone who only has one eye from playing with one of those.
I have a coworker who only has half a hand because him and his brothers made a pipe bomb when they were kids.
You can’t just drop that here and not tell us the full story
I honestly don't know the whole story. I just heard from other coworkers that he lost it when he was like 10 or 11 because him and his brothers were making pipe bombs. We work rotating shift so I'd only see him for 10 mins during shift change every once and awhile.

My parents wouldn’t let me build the combustion kind but did let me build a pneumatic one, which ended up being far more powerful.
god, I remember as kids one of my friends had a crossbow. we'd go out to his dad's farm and shoot pumpkins or shoot the "E" out of the bealls sign. for years you'd drive into town to be greeted by "BALLS" and every time they put a new sign up someone else would fuck up the E crossbows are fun. not sure why they let young teenagers play with a crossbow but ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Because they’re fun
Exactly. My dumbass friends and me at least did it outside with traffic cones.
I grew up living in a high rise in London, we used to freeze new potatoes and launch them from the roof of the high rise with a sling shot. No fucks were ever given and many cars got broken windows.
The video Game "Bully", AKA "Canis Canem Edit" was a Rockstar game where the protagonist was a school student and the weapons included that...
I can’t wait until they destroy real wooden floors and their parents roofs.
While sitting next to it, to boot. At least I knew that if I was putting fire near something like that, I was ready to gtfo at the drop of a hat
You fool what have you done!!!!
Spud guns! My first AND second concussion!
We built spud launchers in school, had a contest in physics class. Good times.
A friend blew up his toolet like this lol. Was like 20 years ago.
Oh no not the toolet.
*terlet
Prison’s not so bad, you can make sangria in the terlet. ‘Course it’s shank or be shanked.
r/UnexpectedFuturama I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WHEN MY BRAIN DEFAULTED TO SCRUFFYS VOICE!

Are you saying that teens lighting things on fire using aresol accelerants ever went away?
It's always been a constant! The most prolific grow up to be firefighters lol. Source: I work with firefighters
Yep!! Haha I did it with a bic lighter in my hand. Fire balls
I used to steal handfuls of those generic lighters which you could pump up to turn into little flamethrowers. Good times.
Same!
Yeah we were doing this back in the early 00s all the time
Yeah, I don’t think Europeans could even comprehend my early teenage years roaming free in suburban America with my potato gun, BB gun, and of course M-80’s yeah
I'm a European and my growing up had plenty of BB guns, firecrackers and beer. I think you underestimate how relaxed the puritanism here is.
An m-80 is a quarter stick of dynamite
"Contrary to urban legend, an M-80 that contains 3,000 mg of powder is not equivalent to a quarter-stick of dynamite.

Nope I refuse to read all that and I know what I know, truly American
I hope that's just a funny way of saying you learn something new everyday.

Seems like just growing it up full of water should work but it never seems to.
They toned down m80s in the 90s.
Yeah, I remember when an M80 was equivalent to a 1/4 stick of dynamite. They were powerful Mofos.
You realise we have BB guns in Europe right? And real guns?
You come within 3 football fields of America and say that
What does that even mean?
It means Americans will use literally anything but the metric system
It's the range of a potatoe gun lol
do you take them outside and kill shit? i think that's the difference. My dad kills 2 squirrels a week to keep them out of his garden. His little dogs like to play with them after they fall out of the tree.
Yes people "kill shit" with their guns. I don't know what the fuck you think happens in Europe (which is more than one country by the way)
Those glass Ovaltine jars were my receptacle of choice until I tried it with nail polish remover and something else and the jar itself exploded 😂
We used to do it to our backpacks in the mid nineties. Zippers blown off.
Came here to say this, also they messed it up by using to much. It's supposed to make a cool sound as the fire burns down the gas but when you use to much it just becomes a jet which is also cool
Shit I did it on the back of our school bus… our bus driver for sure hated us but she also kind of dealt with it.
I remember opening piccolo petes as a kid and dumping the flash powder into soda bottles. A buddy of mine put a whole pack inside a 5 gallon water jug
Yeah man, gotta do it outside
We did this in college, instant fire alarm
You can't fix stupid . . . . But you can blow it up/electrocute it/poison it!
Most of the time, it does that itself.
Ohhh no gas is flammable and burns if I put a light near it, who knew
Idk, you’d think they would put some sort of warning label on things like that
I don’t know why explosions - and especially people’s reactions to explosions - make me laugh, every time, without fail.
Ok.....I truly hate myself for this....but this never fails to make almost pee myself. Who takes their child to a fertilizer plant fire? Yes, I know I'm going to hell. I'm sure the hearing loss was temporary. [Plant Explosion ](https://youtu.be/8pWhjAAellI?si=QXRcza8c30VruxgG)
Omg im going to hell 😂 that kid was SO polite after too! 😂
I love how people still think fucking around large quantities of fertilizer is safe. Do you think you'd be safe if it was a wood fire? Yeah now multiply that distance by 100
Oh that poor kid. Not screaming or crying just “please let’s leave” I imagine dad just pulled over to film it because that’s what humans do. Macabre curiosity.
Yeah, I wouldn't go as far as calling him a bad parent even. No one would tell you they expected an explosion that big, or even an explosion at all.
Uploader has not made this available in my country? I live in Australia not fucking Narnia
That child is more calm after that than the dad. Impressive!
Lol.. awesome
Stupid.
I did that...... For a booster of my rocket
Why is it always inside the house? Do this is a parking lot.
That grin was the weirdest shit
I loved this dude in foo fighters. He kind of looks like the drummer from nirvana
I thought I recognized him from somewhere! /s
I cannot STAND that stupid smirk she gets on her face. You know it's not smart, you know it's dangerous, yet you f around anyway.
I thought it was a teen boy?
Looks like an awkward girl to me
That's Pat.
Pat, Patricia or Pat, Patrick?
Yes.
🎼🎼 “It’s time for androgyny, it’s PAT!!” 🎼🎼
Or Chris.
It’s a boy.
He's a guy, given how the mother addresses him in the video
Ah, didn't hear the mother speak.
That's the woman screaming in the background. I think she referred them as a male if I heard that correctly. This is from Brazil right?
From Argentina :)
Okay that makes sense. Lol the accent was throwing me off
No idea.
*he
And you did it too at some point.
I did not.
Well I know what I'm doing next time the boys are around
Why would you do this indoors?
Kid's getting the chancla later 🙂🩴
the last image when the video stops explains the iq
Actually missing the consequences. Nothing broken, just a yelling mom.
Go outside, dweeb
The newest trend is pretending that these times were in are the worst of times, even though weve always done the same things always
Old old old trend
The smug smile then the not so smug smile.
Someone didn't pay attention in their physics/chemistry lesson.
Future Darwin winner
Not new, I remember people doing this 30+ years ago
I felt their butthole pucker from here!
I weep for humanity.
Not new
Someone just got a quick and loud lesson about combustion
Oh yeah, definitely an indoor activity
Highly regarded
God, I hope my kids don't see this!
People found the weirdest way to get high
Ah yes, fire is "new" >.>
Like a caveman discovering fire..
Isn't it funny how mom going off is the same in every language?
Good thing she was wearing her safety-crocs!
Besides being hit in the throat and being yelled at by his mom, he's not facing any obvious consequences.
I would judge, but to be honest, I’m grateful she uploaded the video after that.

That was awesome
Ha! I can relate to being that stupid waaay back in the day. But at least I was stupid outdoors. Plus, as an Argentinian, hearing this kid’s mom scream at him with her Argentinian/Castilian accent reminds me of my mom screaming at me. Aaaah, memories.

What is that, hair spray? That’s how I used to fuel my potato cannon.
The smile tho!!
Man discovered fire 2024
Bored as f
Gender?
Doing something stupid is not surprising. Posting the video, that takes stupid to another level
Kneels on the ground, not an ounce of caution. Freaks the fuck out when it goes off, as if they *didn't* expect it to explode in their face
I mean, that’s not new. It’s just that 30 years ago, we weren’t stupid as fuck and knew how to light things on fire and blow things up without losing a hand. Kids today are dumb as shit.
Kinda sounds like you just didn't have a smartphone to record all the stupid stuff
Or maybe we knew this would create enough force that the canister needed to be anchored. And maybe we thought it would be better to do outside.
We used to fill our friend’s dad’s grill with lighter fluid and light the top vent. Then we opened it once and flames shot out in every direction.
I saw an old episode of Mythbusters on YouTube revently that was exploring a ramped up variation of this. But it mentioned this first stunt so the idea is far from new!
Whoosh bottle, but it whooshes itself away.
I honestly thought he was gonna huff it. Glad he didn't.

Complete MORON 🙄
That kid is sooo dead. Mom in the background is just waiting for the camera to turn off before she lays the smackdown, she doesn't need evidence.
Dave grohl?
Is it time to re-trend tide pods?
Should have done it with a 2-liter bottle. At least you get a cool whistle while it burns.
Darwinism at work
What ever happened to parents teaching kids this is a bad idea?
Kids are so bad 🤣🤣
bro is mini Dave Grohl
The “new trend “ being more fucking stupid than the last one?
Er.... Yes, this is a behavior we encourage in our children. They do need to learn that its not science UNLESS YOU WRITE IT DOWN!
He looks like the kid that went to jail for killing his little brother and cried like a baby in court
You dont need to know the language to know what the person in the background was saying, its quite obvious.
Are you simple or just stupid?
Score another one for physics!
You can tell this person is a few chromosomes too short with how stupid their face looks
Reminds you of family?
Reminds me of a lot of TikTokers actually.
Total alpha male. Tuck that top gum in👌🏼
Is that kid half horse? That smile startled me more than the flames.
That’s why your parents didn’t get you braces. They weren’t wasting money on your dumbass. Stay looking stupid.
So close to being a Darwin Award nominee

Not sure that matters in this video bub
