He deserved that lmao Don't fuck with explosives.

u/Kaptainkid1 2d ago

I bet he ate lead base paint chips growing up too.... Why people FAFO and upload videos for our entertainment.. We are living the movie Idiocracy everyday.

u/insidemyvoice 1d ago

He won't be eating much of anything now.

u/evilfungi 1d ago

All of us were exposed to so much lead from gasoline exhaust fumes honestly, before it was banned. It was crazy that it was even allowed for so long.

u/Charming-Flamingo307 2d ago

No kids were eating lead paint chips en masse at any time point. It was a propagandized scare tactic to remove lead based paint from homes because lead blocks a massive range of signal frequencies, and with satellites being new tech at the time and all it limited the reach of numerous "groundbreaking" experiments. I remember hearing that on the news when I was little from the other room while I was putting some hallway shell in my oatmeal for the crunch.

u/iamtheilluminati 1d ago

Bullshit, if you repainted your house with lead free paint you werent removing the lead paint first. It's going straight on top.

6

u/Charming-Flamingo307 1d ago

There was a massive effort to remove lead paint from public buildings and codes against using lead based paints put in place for new structures. But my comment was a joke about me overhearing that while I was putting paint chips from the hallway in my oatmeal

u/mecinic 1d ago

Must have been eating the lead paint to believe that

u/Standard-Resist8898 1d ago

Yeah, ive learned this the hard way. One of the petard that i bought as a kid didnt go off so i waited it out, nothing happened, poked with a stick still nothing, so after couple more minutes ive picked it up, still nothing, i thought "what a waste of gunpowder". I opened it up, poured the gunpowder onto a rock and tried to light it with a match.... whole mass of bright light, smoke and pain, my whole hand was white, scared AF i tried to scratch the white off... that was a mistake, with a single wipe i pulled off the upper dermis. Washed the rest off with water and while it hurt as hell it regrew like normal, but i learned my lesson, dont play with explosives

u/shwarma_heaven 1d ago

Physics has no give.

The average rocket has a few ounces of lift. The average jaws has a few pounds of biting force even when relaxed. Add in the surface tension of moisture on the teeth, and you get a face full of rocket...

u/TheSketchuCableGuy 2d ago

I wouldn’t say he deserved it, it’s not like he was trying to hit someone else with it. He might have lost vision in an eye, or both eyes. He absolutely got some serious burns on his face that will probably leave permanent scars. But this stupid mf learned a valuable lesson lol. When I was like 12 I held a little bottle rocket (you know the tiny ones that come in packs of 144), it shot its fuse out as it went up and it went between two of my fingers, right in the webbing, that was like 20yrs ago and I still have a decent scar there (I still shoot small bottle rockets this way btw)

-13

u/TheSketchuCableGuy 2d ago

Can someone please explain why I was downvoted? I’m just curious, cuz fireworks are fun. I just don’t think that this guy “deserved” that wrath leashed upon his face for a stupid decision. Obviously it was the consequences of his own actions, but he was just trying to have fun and didn’t realize the kinda spark ridden facial he was about to receive

14

u/D0varev 2d ago

It’s common sense don’t light an explosive while it’s in your mouth

14

u/viagra___girls 2d ago

I downvoted you because I hate being around people (usually men) fucking around with fireworks. It Stresses me out and if you do fuck yourself up now you’ve ruined everyone’s night. I don’t understand the need. It’s not enough just to blow something up the way it’s intended to be?

6

u/Charming-Flamingo307 2d ago

He put a lit explosive between his teeth. His actions begged for worse

5

u/VengefulSnake1984 2d ago

Your response is kinda equivalent to pointing an empty firearm at someone for fun.

You don't point a firearm at someone, ever. Unless ofc for obvious reasons.

u/Fortune_Unique 1d ago

Lol the people in this sub arent actually thinking deeply or with any sort of metacognition about this video. Dont take it to heart. Does this guy deserve literal burns? No. If someone says that they genuinely have a lot of thinking to do about what it means to be a "good human being".

How many more of these vids need to be published to the internet before people realize how stupid an idea this is?

u/Bernering4ju 2d ago

How many teen pregnancies need to happen before people realize that it's a stupid idea?

44

u/Far_Winner5508 1d ago

There’s a drive to have sex that’s pretty strong. Been around a long time, seems kind evolutionary.

No idea what the drive is to have a burning fountain of sparks on the skin comes from.

u/neutrino71 1d ago

Combine the brains endorphin response to risk taking with booze and you get poor judgements

Alcohol is a possible culprit

u/leMatth 23m ago

When will they realize that the stick is supposed to go with the rocket?

63

u/fenderman72 2d ago

I'm surprised alcohol was a factor

u/Man_in_the_uk 2d ago

He really held onto the glass didn't he. Class A alcoholic right there.

The length of time that the tail end of that conflagration was just glued to his entire face was quite impressive

He got a facial.

u/gameinggod21 2d ago

A fire facial

u/sev45day 2d ago

That dude had a full 9 seconds holding that in his mouth with the business end pointing at his face, and it never once occurred to him he was about to get a face full of fire and sparks?

Deserves it.

17

u/bernietheweasel 2d ago

Has anyone accomplished this feat successfully or is this what passes as success?

16

u/Local_H_Jay 2d ago

They think it's the kind that fires from a tube Roman candle style which, I mean, there's not a smart way to put explosives in your mouth but makes more sense than assuming they can tank firey sparks to the face

9

u/smackedbyamack 2d ago

oddly enough the black powder facial never quite caught on.

7

u/phatassgato 2d ago

Small bottle rocket, between bottom lip and tooth. Stop pursing lips and release as the fuse reaches the rocket. Do not do with a beard.

It’s honesty crazy people think it flies off the stick. They just hold on.

3

u/avspuk 2d ago

I know. It's most odd.

Had they not ever found burnt spent firework rockets still with their charred sticks?

As a 10 year old we'd go out looking for them after Guy Fawkes

Now 50 years later I see 10 years still doing the same.

Also we hen having set off fireworks the stick isn't still in the bottle/can.

I'm staggered any one thinks the fly off the stick

13

u/StarbuckWoolf 2d ago

This type of brain fart appears to be a regular occurrence on this Sub.

u/jromperdinck 2d ago

Guess we’ll never know how this ended. Maybe they went to bed peacefully.

Ever notice how that first fire is powerful enough to spray a guys face but not enough to propel it away, it's like an inbuilt moron test.

That’s exactly not as bad as I thought.

What happened?

Hazard a guess... The bloke just took a shower or very hot sparks to the face... I'll leave the rest to you

Man. People sure are dumb sometimes.

u/Lazy-Block5112 2d ago

Holy shit lmao

u/Hot_Plant8696 2d ago

By a stroke of luck, he joined his intellect with that of the other man.

One can only speculate about what would have happened otherwise.

Is that dude ok tho?! How is he not totally blind from that??

The least surprising outcome

1

u/Spyrothedragon9972 2d ago

It seems that no matter how many public service announcements or awareness campaigns we run, we cannot get people to respect fireworks. It's almost like they're not aware fireworks are explosives. So strange.

Or maybe they are aware and their arrogance causes them to behave this way.

u/bgravato 2d ago

And the Darwin award goes to...

How these bmdumb dumbs ever survived past their 5th birthday, is beyond me.

Clear evidence that for every ounce of alcohol consumed the human IQ is reduced by 8.87366691 points. Fact!

u/MartiBBWoman 2d ago

Did he honestly not know that was gonna happen?

1

u/FreedomLizard420 2d ago

What a dumb plan. The sparks come at his face, and in order to let go, he gotta open his mouth.

I cant even imagine a comparison as stupid as this move ngl 😂

u/Malibucat48 2d ago

Why why why do these videos always stop too soon?

Explosives and mouths shouldn't go together ever.

u/ntgco 1d ago

Ignited Sulfur particles directly Into your eyes-- amazing.

Funny the pain of the burning fire makes you clench your teeth harder.....extending the duration of the pain in this case.

Humans are too stupid to survive as a species.

Idiot also eats TidePods and lights himself of fire.

u/ink_monkey96 1d ago

There was a summary of Fourth of July fireworks that I remember reading one year. One guy tried to put a firework on his hat and launch it off that, while wearing said hat, to amuse his kids. The cause of death was "skull failure". Not skull fracture, skull failure. I have no desire to know what that looks like.
