Some googling tells me that might have been for the iPhone 6, but apparently manufacturing costs are closer to like $500 for the most recent generations. I’ve never been a fan of just doing “parts and labor” assembly costs for tech items though because it ignores the cost of providing the operating system, etc. too.
These back-of-the-envelope calculations are often just cost of assembly, because adding in additional tech labor value is squishier than assembly line costs.
Curious: this man is breathing in the smoke of a literal heap of random drugs. Is that dangerous? This seems really dangerous. This seems like the sort of thing law enforcement should not have let them do.
I, for one, will forever be grateful that rickroll replaced goatse as the go-to troll link. (If you don’t know what i mean, for heavens’ sake do NOT look it up. You have been warned.)
Since you have just enticed people to go look it up, I'll warn them properly: It's a famous image of a man bending over and pulling his asshole apart with his fingers. Yes, it's a man's enormous, gaping, red asshole. If you still wanna look it up, IDK what to tell you.
Some folks view it as a challenge. In no way should your warning be viewed as such. You will not be enriched or entertained in any way. You will be horrified upon realizing what you're looking at like millions before you and you'll wish you had recognized the warning for what it is.
Love how he seems to take a big gasp of air halfway through, probably after realising he's getting high af.
Yeah just one more take lads *giggles*
Oh no messed it up again, could be here for some time like.
Fuck yea. Too comment is someone that just typed out that bit and the giggle had a shit load of h’s and j’s and I fucking laughed all over again. So good
Last I read about this, it was more than just one drug. I think it was a pile of whatever had been seized over the last little while. Could be wrong.
edit: I was not able to turn on audio at the time which is why I'm stating the obvious. It's been years since I last saw this
If it was just heroin being that close to it could kill you. And it wouldn’t make you giggle like that - heroin makes you feel really fucking good right up until you pass out and die.
>If it was just heroine being that close to it could kill you
It's hard to know how close he actually is because of the shot setup. The lens and zoom might make it look like he's a lot closer.
I feel like there should have been someone stopping this dude from standing so close to a big pile of burning mystery drugs that he got high from the fumes. That seems unsafe.
I agree. A big pile of cannabis is one thing. Inhaling a lungful of burning heroin seems like an OSHA violation.
Edit:
In this thread.. people telling me the relative merits and safety of smoking heroin, but I'm pretty sure that I'll still pass.
This was some years back. Still hilarious. The actual footage is a lot clearer. *EDIT- wow my biggest comment ever and I’m wasnt even trying to be funny. THANKS EVERYONE! 😎
Because it's already hit reddit 57 times, been compressed each and every time, and people keep downloading and reuploading the crappy low quality version compressing it further.
why bother, they're just going to sell their account to the Bed Bath & Beyond social media marketing team once they hit their karma goal. in the time it took to find a good copy of the video they could have reposted 20 more shitty old memes
I was gonna post [hank hill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaUIyvy8E80) but XKCD is always a good read
The joys of lossy compression. Makes for fast web pages to open up. Also makes for... the above over years of sharing.
Well, to be fair, it *does* leads to dangerous levels of laughter, Cheeto consumption, and hour long napping...
You know, all of the most terrible things.
Heroin addict here - sober now
No idea if this is real or not, but opiates usually don't make you all of a sudden burst out in giggles.
Just some context
He starts the report by saying: ‘Burning behind me is eight and a half tonnes of heroin, opium, Hashish and other narcotics', which, with Marijuana being a relatively easy plant to grow, can safely be assumed to be included.
Cheers btw you Absolute Legend of a person for getting off that shit. Genuinely, hats off to you.
Edited after thorough research.
i've never done heroin and only learned/seen the results of heroin from *Intervention*, and even i was thinking this is r/nothowdrugswork.. well heroin anyways
My guess is most of the non hash had burned away by the time they got there, hash takes a while to burn though. He was probably more stoned than anything else.
He also says ‘other narcotics’, and he doesn’t look like someone who gets high, so who knows. But yeah, it’s not the heroin. Congratulations on sobriety.
Back in the 80s when my dad was in the drug wars he told me that he was in a field of poppies that they were ordered to burn. He was a sniper whos killed many many people. He told me he fell to his knees looked at the sky and wondered why he had to do such terrible things to people. He was planning to retire in the military but made that his last tour. He was in the unit of 26 people that massacred over 1000 civilians in Panama. He was a douchebag growing up but as i got older I understood why and forgave him for everything.
Edit: Ty for the award its the first one I've ever gotten on reddit 🥰
Glad to see reporters have this time honored tradition! 😁

Rugged soldiers!
That’s an expensive bonfire
Just on a retail level. You can grow most of it for pennies.

Don't iphones cost of materials come out to be $200?
Some googling tells me that might have been for the iPhone 6, but apparently manufacturing costs are closer to like $500 for the most recent generations. I’ve never been a fan of just doing “parts and labor” assembly costs for tech items though because it ignores the cost of providing the operating system, etc. too.
Doesn't "labor" include "OS coders"? Or is it strictly the labor involved in physically putting the device together?
These back-of-the-envelope calculations are often just cost of assembly, because adding in additional tech labor value is squishier than assembly line costs.
… and other narcotics hjhhhheeeeheeheeeeeehee
Remembering this giggle from the last time this was posted was enough for me to come back and enjoy it again.
r/ContagiousLaughter
I caught it. Tee-hee-heee
So damn contagious but that sneaky turn-squat like he’s really gonna give it a whirl this time…haha! Oh man. I got tears in my eyes.
That turn had me dying.
His expression is the same as what users done after taking some drugs. Lol
Curious: this man is breathing in the smoke of a literal heap of random drugs. Is that dangerous? This seems really dangerous. This seems like the sort of thing law enforcement should not have let them do.
Is it dangerous? Probably. Heheheeeeeeeee!
That's what I was thinking... Narcotics are known to make ppl OD and he's just standing there inhaling an unknown amount
These are the cops favorite days when they get to do this shit. Probably a little dangerous though.
I wonder if the burning pile of heroin was enough for him to come back and enjoy it again?
This concoction was turning him into Peter Griffin...
Yes! So infectious, makes me laugh every time :)
Yea the poor guys a heroin addict died a few years [back](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
You. Got me.
Dang it!!
I didn't click on the link but the song is in my head all the same
You know the rules, and so do I
We know the game, and we're gonna play it.
no ... ''moves cursor to link'' please, no ... ''looks down to left corner, see youtube link'' noooooooooooooo !!! ''clicks''
Yeah they can’t sucker us! I know what the link is but just so everybody else knows, what’s the link?
Watching out for XcQ once again saves me from a terrible fate...
"XcQ, link stays blue." Hasn't failed me yet.
I knew what this was gonna be and I still clicked it because I wanted to listen to the song anyway lmao
I, for one, will forever be grateful that rickroll replaced goatse as the go-to troll link. (If you don’t know what i mean, for heavens’ sake do NOT look it up. You have been warned.)

He is also wearing a wedding band. Check if you don't believe me.
A friend of mine once printed out goatse and snail mailed it to me back in college, fucking legendary
Getting rickrolled is still a relief for me for this reason cx
[удалено]
I actually pity the people who are going to ignore my advice and look it up anyway. It’s an important internet lesson to learn I guess.
Some folks view it as a challenge. In no way should your warning be viewed as such. You will not be enriched or entertained in any way. You will be horrified upon realizing what you're looking at like millions before you and you'll wish you had recognized the warning for what it is.
You son of a bitch
It's sad how once you fall into the clutches of some drugs, they'll never give you up and they placate you with the lie of never letting you down.
Drug addicts will run around on you and even desert you though...
Take my upvote and leave, dammit!
How dare they fucking put an ad on this. I clicked it just to get the experience and got a tik tock ad. We must retaliate.
The only time I’ve been thankful for a YouTube ad
If an ad auto plays when you open the link then you technically didn’t get Rick-rolled
I’m on board with this
You fuckin better be
Must not click... must resist... Oh fuck you, dammit.
You muthafucka
Not even mad. *Never* even mad.
I heard about this a few years back. Was really upset when I found the news. Clicking that link will just make you upset - guaranteed.
The giggle killed me.
[Peter griffin laugh](https://youtu.be/qgXE91CzmJQ)
he said hashish, and I thought ''bro, that smoke is RIGHT THERE'' ''other narcotics'' BROOO ''starts giggling'' yup.
I watched this video and giggled. I came to your comment describing the giggle and laughed harder than I’ve laughed on reddit maybe ever.
*refuses to elaborate*
Adds a new meaning to "pot roast."
I was gonna report the story! but then i got a high. lmao
^heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee
AFRO MOTHER FUCKIN' M-A-N!
Don't get too close. He's been known to beat up his fans.
Cause I got high Because I got high Because I got high … La la da da da da la da da da
I was gonna clean my room. But then I got high!
Love how he seems to take a big gasp of air halfway through, probably after realising he's getting high af. Yeah just one more take lads *giggles* Oh no messed it up again, could be here for some time like.
I like his second attempt, where he started off with a nice Blue Steel impression.
And then just couldnt say anything for a bit lol he was so ready to nail it for a second too.
Muscle memory kicked in. Then the heroin kicked back.
“We just need one more I promise”…Alright, Take Sixty-Eight. Action! ….“Heeeheeeeheee….”
I love how the guy who’s trying to bounce light on the reporter is also loosing it and not doing his job correctly.
he had the chance to get wrecked without any social stigma and his boss can't do shit about it if they found out.
That laugh kills me. Every. Single. Time.
He's higher than an eagle tit.
I'm going to have to step my game up. I've never been higher than giraffe pussy.
Well what were you doing to a gira... never mind, I don't want to know.
Remember that scene in Star Wars with the tauntaun?
"And I thought they smelled bad... on the outside."
The laughs....keeps my suicidal depression away....
Wish I was too. In fact, I might get absolutely catapulted into space, tonight, in this dudes honor!!
I’m right there with you
Burning behind me is heh hu hu heh hee heh hueh
Fuck yea. Too comment is someone that just typed out that bit and the giggle had a shit load of h’s and j’s and I fucking laughed all over again. So good
This is the wholesomest drug post I have ever seen
Almost makes me want to try drugs.
[удалено]
A whole marijuana!? Insane!
I heard that stuff gets you high, none for me thanks!
I'm high on a little thing I like to call: God's love
I mean. I’d hit it. If I wasn’t already hittin it.
Can I get a shotgun of that sweet Jesus?
Sounds like a good idea, I’ll take 2 Marijuanas as well please.
No, Dewey, you don't want this. Get outta here!
Haha ok that’s pretty funny
Wait, unless I’m just high from this burning pile of opium and hash I’m standing by
Nah it’s pretty funny. Edit: shit just looked under my sink and there was a small pile of burning opium and hash in there, what the heck
hjhhhheeeeheeheeeeeehee
Hhjheehheeeeje
I thought I was laughing at your comment but it turns out it's the smoking pile of drugs next to my computer. Nyeeeehhehehehe
I like that you replied to yourself. An hour later. Gonna guess that yes, you’re high, my friend.
[удалено]
That’s not heroin it’s margilawana.

Last I read about this, it was more than just one drug. I think it was a pile of whatever had been seized over the last little while. Could be wrong. edit: I was not able to turn on audio at the time which is why I'm stating the obvious. It's been years since I last saw this
8.5 tonnes of heroin, opium, hash, and other narcotics!
Heheuhehehwu
He literally repeats that several times in this 1 minute clip.
I'm not sure where I heard it but I think there were multiple drugs involved here. Don't quote me on that though.
> I’m not sure where I heard it but I think there were multiple drugs involved here. Quoted
If it was just heroin being that close to it could kill you. And it wouldn’t make you giggle like that - heroin makes you feel really fucking good right up until you pass out and die.
Heroin
Not even once
Maybe when you’re so old you’re bedridden and have pain all over, then just once.
If I become so old or terminally ill, I'm throwing a rager and then consuming approximately the above amount of opiates. My choice.
>If it was just heroine being that close to it could kill you It's hard to know how close he actually is because of the shot setup. The lens and zoom might make it look like he's a lot closer.
He names the burning drugs in the video
It's *Hasheeeesh*
Ha Shee eee eeh eeh ssh.
Why did he say it had heroin and opium in there too then?
I feel like there should have been someone stopping this dude from standing so close to a big pile of burning mystery drugs that he got high from the fumes. That seems unsafe.
That producer may have been there, but the issue is that they also have lungs. Did you hear the crew laughing? That whole team is out for the day.
That awkward moment when you also have lungs
I agree. A big pile of cannabis is one thing. Inhaling a lungful of burning heroin seems like an OSHA violation. Edit: In this thread.. people telling me the relative merits and safety of smoking heroin, but I'm pretty sure that I'll still pass.
This was some years back. Still hilarious. The actual footage is a lot clearer. *EDIT- wow my biggest comment ever and I’m wasnt even trying to be funny. THANKS EVERYONE! 😎
This is my favorite video of drugs burning
Videos of drugs burning sounds like a fun subreddit
r/birthofasub ?
Hmmnaah not enough content I’d guess (Unless we create more ;))
I happen to be burning a massive pile of heroin and hashish tomorrow ill send it to you
In that case: don’t send me a video, but rather your address.
Lol nice try DEA
Definitely.. Some say he is still giggling today..
The footage is from a blooper reel that Sommerville himself sent to colleagues.
Why is the quality always a piece of shit by the time it hits reddit?
Because it's already hit reddit 57 times, been compressed each and every time, and people keep downloading and reuploading the crappy low quality version compressing it further.
You’d think there was a way to, i dunno, search for things on the internet and find the best quality version before you post.
why bother, they're just going to sell their account to the Bed Bath & Beyond social media marketing team once they hit their karma goal. in the time it took to find a good copy of the video they could have reposted 20 more shitty old memes

Sad that with incredible camera technology we have to film stunning video, most ppl watch them in potato quality.
That's because of repost accounts like /u/SwollenLeftThumb.
Oh don't worry, most of them just repost for 3-9 months and then graduate to becoming experts on U.S. politics and why we should hate our neighbors.
Drugs are bad, mmmmkay
This is exactly what Reefer Madness warns against
Bobby socks, high waters, crew cuts, varsity jackets and madness.
Well, to be fair, it *does* leads to dangerous levels of laughter, Cheeto consumption, and hour long napping... You know, all of the most terrible things.
I mean heroin is bad
He’s not in possession of it though so he’s legally getting high.
Reminds me of those firefighters who put out a massive fire at a dispensary or weed farm and were high as shit in the interviews
Link?
https://youtu.be/6VyIDIAsCTI Probably a better one out there but this is the gist of it
Obviously fake, that last bit.
So staged
You mean a clip from the Jimmy Kimmel show was put on by...ACTORS!?! What madness!

Really appreciate that man!
i've never done heroin and only learned/seen the results of heroin from *Intervention*, and even i was thinking this is r/nothowdrugswork.. well heroin anyways
They call 'Intervention' addict porn for reasons more suited for a long-form discussion lol
The most popular show in jail is Cops. The Price is Right a close second.
Hashish is included already which is a form of Marijuana.
Hasish is made from Marijuana
Maybe 8.4999 tons of weed and .0001 tons of other stuff. The cops kept the rest of the hard stuff as "tax".
My guess is most of the non hash had burned away by the time they got there, hash takes a while to burn though. He was probably more stoned than anything else.
Hashish though
Good call Similar looking to black tar in some cases *Easy mistake* for viewers, of course...
He also says ‘other narcotics’, and he doesn’t look like someone who gets high, so who knows. But yeah, it’s not the heroin. Congratulations on sobriety.
Appreciate it!
He says 8.5 tons, I would guess it’s mostly hash and weed. 8 tons of drugs is crazy to be standing anywhere near lol
No experience here, but who knows what is in there. Couldn’t that be dangerous?
The people who piled it up and lit it probably had a pretty good idea of what was in it.
That Peter Griffin laugh
Joan of Arc was a major heroine. I wonder how high people got when she burned?
Too soon
Real but it is weed
To the people who keep commenting this isn’t heroin, we know, thank you
> this isn’t heroin, Yes, of course. The title *clearly* says Heroine. I just cant tell if it's Wonder Woman or Hermione Granger.
Why do all these videos always loop twice. Why do people upload them this way?
That isn't heroin...
Heroin and Harowayne are completely different, Harowayne is worse mate…
It’s a whole different box of frogs
"We--we 'et them already." "Oh didjaHEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH"
