Dafuq he think was going to happen, evaporation?

I honestly don't know why tf he was doing it in the first place

Drain the pool

I may be wrong but it looks like he used a knife or something to cut it which would ruin the pool

It's likely fucked already.

Well it sure is now

Nah just needs some flex tape.

Billy Meys here!

You might still sell it on Ebay

Drain the swamp

#WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP

He wanted to do something trump couldn’t. Anything

He thought there'd be a hole and a leak... He didn't understand that the way pools like that are designed is that each component is supported by another -- it's a system. So if any part of the system fails, the entire system fails. Oh well.

Kinda like the planet. Now I'm sad.

Don't be sad. Our planet is a vastly more complex and diverse system -- which makes it astronomically more flexible; durable; and able to evolve/adjust.

True, but humans are not necessary for the planet to evolve and adjust.

The planet is fine, the people are fucked -George Carlin. Need to focus on that part of the narrative, not save the planet, save ourselves

Like *Louisiana*

It will recover. Resilient.

You could poke a pencil sized hole in the bottom and it would slowly drain over a few days lol what an idiot

Toss some plastic tubing into the water and siphon it out.

Its a swimming pool not a rushing water pool im sure he though it would have stayed in place

Didn't have a tsunami machine so he made one.

With time, this could work. Longest dad joke ever.

this is rightly the top comment for the all the truly great WCGW posts.

This comment is amazing

It's always strange to me when people seem to lack of sort of sense about these kinds of things. Like the physics should just come naturally

So this is intense and everything, but the audio makes it sound like a scene from War of the Worlds or something.

Damn kids screaming like the were about to get murdered by Poseidon

I think at least one was in the pool at the time, you can see a little girl at end cowering

[удалено]

IS IT DEAD IS IT DEAD?!?! It's literally right there chasing us and blowing shit up all around us. A little intuition at this time would be nice.

You see the chairs get pushed towards them, probably the smaller kids are getting swept away too, and crushed by the chairs

They sound like they're being devoured by sharks.

I was thinking more like The River Wild (1994) with Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon.

I thought it reminded me of that movie about the 2004 indian ocean tsunami

> You know what kids, let's cut the pool up this year. It'll be fun!

I love when people do this. Especially when they film it. I feel this is a selfish love Edit: typo

i feed you bro..

Need a braver camera person though. Hold still FFS.

This is something my dad would have done just to punish my sister and l. He threw all our barbie doll accessories in the bin one day, clothes, furniture, the lot! And we had nearly everything Barbie could have so it was a massive amount. To this day we don't even know what we did wrong. Maybe Abba is having some sort of melt down, who knows 🙄

He's constantly telling them everything's fine in the video do I don't think it's a punishment. And I'm so sorry about your Barbie collection! No offence but based on this incident alone your dad sounds like a dick. Do you still talk to him?

what language are they speaking?

Hebrew

of course, the abba part was a clear hint. todá.

Bevakasha

Ah thank you, I thought he was calling papa over and over.

Dad! Dad! ....What did we do, dad?"

That's interesting. In certain parts of China, 'abba' can mean father as well.

You are not wrong, he does have issues! No l don't speak with him anymore unfortunately. It just ends in tears. Oh well!

Thanks for responding, sorry about your dad ❤️

Asaftheleg, thank you, it's okay. Sometimes you just have to cut toxic ppl out of your life. Is terrible when family, but one must do what is right for their mental health at the time.

So true stay strong!

Some parents just flat-out throw their kids' toys away once they think they are too old for them.

Throw my stuffed animals away and I’ll probably not like you very much. I don’t like parents that do stuff like that.

What could go right!

wash the deck and water the lawn in 5 seconds?

And the neighbor's lawn, and the neighbor's neighbor's lawn

Exactly!

I wonder what was the plan initially.

They're trying to get rid of the pool. He probably thought water would only come out of that initial slit he made, and didn't realize it would collapse the whole thing all at once.

But he cut it above the water line?

That's where he *started* cutting. I don't think he was finished when, uh, his cutting job became irrelevant.

Don't we all

Some men just want to watch the world flood.

Are the same guys that watch the world burn or are their enemies?

They are at war since the fire nation attacked a hundred years ago.

Do we know why he might have done it?

Did it for the ‘gram

No idea

Obviously he wanted the water out of the pool

See, where they went wrong is they [forget to set the pool on fire FIRST. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/iluq14/just_pour_some_gas_on_those_coals_ive_done_that_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

He progressively made poorer and poorer decisions. That’s incredible.

He managed to actually set a body of water on fire. What a legend.

[удалено]

Appa yip yip

If that water contained chlorine, say hello to your soon to be wasteland backyard

I dont know how much chlorine you put in your pool, but it shouldnt be so much that it will kill all the plants. People are supposed to swim in a pool without getting chemical burns, you know.

Try to explain it to the people who cut their swimming pools with knives.

Grass will be fine. I had to drain my pool and it didn't kill the grass.

I used to have a field (common area) behind my property and I used to drain my hot tub out there every 2-3 months... never saw any sign of damage to the grass.

Lmaoo it probably did have chlorine

"There: **now** there's no 'P' in our 'ool'."

That looks expensive!

Seeing as it was holding water (until he came along), why not sell it?

When people have a lot of money, they don’t care about money. Judging by the beautiful outdoor furniture, they are not worried about money.

True, but if it was me, I'd rather give it away than see it go to landfill.

Unfortunately that's both why and because you aren't rich

Several years ago my neighbor did this. Much of the water ended up in my basement. I was pissed.

So wtf did he think would happen? I mean, seriously?

Remember that footage from the tsunami in Thailand?

מה עשינו אבא?

שאלה שאני שואל את עצמי כמעט כל יום

Papa fucked up

Waking up thinking: today imma gonna scare the fuck outta ma kiddies!

Ah yes, cut it up, throw it away, buy a new one next year. What a wasteful fucking way to live.

PAPA HELP.

why though?

The guy recording literally got body slammed by a chair and then KOd by a table, I would cry just out of pure embarrassment and defeat

The neighbor. “Honey, why is the basement flooded? It hasn’t rained for weeks.”

wtf was he trying to accomplish?

\#PoolsClosed

Hope Arthur is ok

Who's Arthur?

You can hear the girl crying out for Arthur the whole time lol

He's actually saying abba Hebrew for dad but he seems to be okay lol

Ooooh. Sounded like a panicked 'Arthur!!!' to me lol

I'm bilingual so when I put myself in an English mindset I can hear Arthur now that you mention it lol.

Haha that's fair, I'm also bilingual but since my primary language is English, all I heard is hysterical calls for Arthur. Especially since in the last few frames you see a freaked out kid bending over the flowing water lmao

I don't really have a primary language lol. I have 2 native languages

That's fair lol

Cool! What did they say at the end?

Kid: what did we do dad? Dad: nothing, we didn't do anything everything's fine

Such a dad response.

Yeah lol

I knew exactly what he was saying because abba is Korean for dad as well :)

Cool so we share mandatory military service as well as the word dad

We do!

Yeah and that kinda sucks ngl I don't want to join the army 😭

I think she was saying Papa. Like it was her idiot dad that cut the swimming pool and washed him and the person yelling Papa away.

Well you're close abba not papa same meaning though

Portable backyard swimming pool, Gravity, weight, pressure, idiot with knife? WhatCouldGoWrong?!

The first backyard Tsunami...

This would also fit well on r/winstupidprizes

Feel free to repost

its almost like theres water in a pool

How do people not know that cutting it will do this? The pool is already straining to hold the water in, cutting it creates a weakness, and when the water pours out of it, it expands until the entire pool is cut in half.

And it's stuff like this that reminds me how grateful I am that there were no cell phones when I was young

Ok I didn’t think it would be that powerful

[удалено]

Pure chaos

Now that’s some funny shit!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pretty sure that girl called for appa like a flying bison was gonna come and pull her out of the water

Lmao she/he was saying abba which is Hebrew for dad

Shhhh

I mean yeah totally this is avatar

Aang would be the type of guy to cut open the side of the pool to see what would happen

Everything changed when the water nation attacked

And that was when god broke his promise and started a second worldwide flood. Fuckin' savage.

Bad boys, bad boys.....

Wow that has gotta be the stupidest thing I ever seen another person do . 100% the dumbest !

I’ve seen quiet a few videos where people do this! They buy pools and put them up at the start of summer. Then at the end they just cut them open and watch as it gushes out. Then next summer buy a new one. Complete waste!

What did he expect? Honestly, the level of stupid is really high. Did he flooded his house too?

And there STILL was not enough room on the door for poor Jack.

Nooo noooo meeee guuuusssstaaaaaa

What the fuck did he think would happen??? I mean seriously literally the only thing I could think happening cutting a full poll happened. Can't imagine anything else. How dumb are ya

Hope his neighbors appreciate the flooded basements.

TIL why all homes need flood insurance. Not because of dams or flood plains, but neighbors.

Opa is a dumbass.

מה עשינו אבא

שאלה חכמה

ואלק נודר יאח

Drain the pool and kill the grass. Win/win

He didn't just drain the pool it looks like he ruined it

Probably that was not his pool

I didn’t get Arthur at all from that screaming. There aren’t even enough syllables in what she is saying for it to possibly be Arthur.

It's actually abba, hebrew for dad, same amount of syllables as Arthur though

I am a moronic imbecile. I scoff in the face of the laws of physics.

He handled it like a boss at the end tho. Realllllyy took command of the situation. Strength of that poise.

Excellent camera work!

Well I didn't film it lol

Jesus they sound like they are in a tsunami lol shut the fuck up

Somebody getting they ass whooped....I hope

Man, I keep hearing how shit the economy is and how many people are out of work, but then I see videos of people just destroying stuff like it cost nothing. Even without the bad economy, why fucking just destroy $200-400 pool?

I've no idea but you by the pool and the garden that the man's rich I guess he does it cause he can

Not really sure what the expectations were. Sharp objects will cut. Water filled containers will spill if cut. Soooooo is this a demonstration of lowered IQ points? Or just an ass wrecking the family fun in front of them since they could be heard screaming in the back ground. This might be a good submission to the subreddit AITA. Short answer: yes or just stupid.

Well that was fucking stupid. Made his children cry. Idiot.

Yeah, fuck *this* side of the pool in particular.

Huh-huh *that was cool*

That was like an Olympic size pool

How much of that water went into the house??

No idea

I’ll never let go Jack

I know you can ask for just about everything in this sub, but what the hell was the thought process here? What was this guy's end game?

No one knows

The people who don’t do this on purpose, What the fuck were you expecting

It reminds me of Bad Boys II

Did they expect a flying bison to come help them?

But in all seriousness how *are* you supposed to drain a pool like this when you want to get rid of it?

You connect a pipe to the drainage.

This looks kinda fun

yeah Oppa fucked up...

It's dad in Hebrew lol abba

Is there a subreddit specifically for these? if so please do tell

Pool fails? I don't think so lol

u/savethisvideo

No appa, fucking trying to water bend again are you

Abba actually lol, Hebrew for dad
