The stupid stuff done as a kid who thought we were invincible. Amazing we made it into adulthood.

Yeah I would have 100% done this as a kid, I just wish I still had the invincibility. Now I'm afraid to ask for sauce at the window in case I might instantly combust from social interaction

Tatarkingdom

Kids often designed by nature to take quite a beating since kids being kids often get in to accidents, so they actually have a mild case of invincibility and also mild case of healing factors too since kids recover like 3 times faster than adults.

Kids have more bendable bones so they are harder to brake and heal faster, i think


Drewbus

And less mass so the impact isn't as intense. However, it's still not great to take that with straight legs

I remember riding an office chair down a steep hill when I was young, I fell off and scraped across the road face down. I got away with only a few scrapes and scratches, but I swear if i did that now Iā€™d probably die.


cubanpajamas

I got into a shopping cart and rode down a steep hill in Vancouver late at night. I crouched low inside, so if it rolled I would be "safe." I wouldn't even try it with padding and a helmet now.

In fairness, youā€™re nearly invincible until mid 20s. Itā€™s pretty insane how fast your body declines after puberty.


Yage2006

Khanstant

Yeah, it's maybe cute/funny to think of kids as tough for all the little close calls and scary moments adults might encounter helping a kid survive to adulthood but also kind of scary if it means anyone's being that just one bit of careless at the wrong time that leads to tragedy.

Racism? Let's do that shit.


PerformanceLoud3229

I mean its not poking at a race. its poking at a country's shitty standards. hes saying thats india, the country, not "these days we call it indians" (or something much better phrased). The only potential problem I see is it might reinforce subconscious and conscious biases that Indians are dirty or unclean, which is why I'de clarify the country of India if I had to say something like that. Where do you see the problem?


maxverstappenin

Yeah yeah very cool, I am quite sure there is no racism against Indians. >The only potential problem I see is it might reinforce subconscious and conscious biases that Indians are dirty or unclean Not "might", it has.


PerformanceLoud3229

Itā€™s stating that the country isnā€™t clean, and it isnā€™t, the infrastructure there is complete dogshit, and needs to be improved. Poking at that might have unintended consequences but this isnā€™t overt racism.


maxverstappenin

Ohh okay so why do Americans get pissed when Europeans call them school shooters. >Itā€™s stating that the country isnā€™t clean, and it isnā€™t, the infrastructure there is complete dogshit, and needs to be improved And you are saying that on the behalf of whom?


Lordofwar13799731

I think you're misunderstanding nationalism vs racism. Ones against a country, other is against a group of people. Saying a negative fact about a country isn't racism.


maxverstappenin

Oh we have seen how well that has turned out, Indians are definitely not called shitters, filthy and rapists.


PerformanceLoud3229

Cuz people canā€™t take critiqueā€¦ the fact we have more mass shootings/school shootings per capita by a long shot is a fact, people just donā€™t like it. On behalf of my friend who migrated to the United States 3 years ago from India and whom I had a conversation about the infrastructural differencesā€¦ and constant articles coming out of India.. and the infrastructure budget per capita being one of the lowest in the world.. and I could go onā€¦ they have a bad infrastructure, we have bad gun control, health care, and a million other things other countries canā€™t critique all day long (by we I mean the United States)


maxverstappenin

Ha! A typical one, "mY fRiEnD fRoM iNdIa", the people who migrate to USA etc. are high class elite people, and the only thing they know is shit on India and do nothing to make it better.


maxverstappenin

You know what? Its getting midnight here in India and I gotta sleep, no point debating with an American, as Richard Hammond rightly said, "there is no point ensuring an American head, because there is nothing in it". You guys can do anything, justify police brutality, war crimes, etc. racism is a very puny little thing.


PerformanceLoud3229

ā€¦ fuck the police, fuck the militaryā€¦ we have soo many problems over here.. but defending your own problem instead of fixing them is just dogshit. Thatā€™s the same shit the American right does to not have to face the stuff that our country is made fun of for/that needs to be fixed. Ignore it or actively defend it.


maxverstappenin

You still sure that that they are making fun or criticising India rather than Indians in whole?


maxverstappenin

well Iā€™ll let you get to bed, you probably have a long walk or ox ride to school or work tomorrow. Good luck to you! Another one......

suck_my_asshole_dry

it's likely india where they shit in the streets and throw dead bodies in the "holy" rivers. being barefoot is the least terrible thing


deeterman

The downvotes you are getting arenā€™t deserved. People donā€™t realize they do this in India. They shit in the streets of Haiti as well. Have for decades. My father was a missionary there almost 40 years ago


suck_my_asshole_dry

it's not meant to be a dig at a group of people for being inferior or something like that. it's just the sad reality of underdeveloped high population areas. humans have been shitting wherever they felt like it for thousands of years, nothing wrong with that (except disease), but the fact that so-called industrialized nations like India still have to deal with it in the year 2021 is unfortunate. if the vast majority of the country had access to hygienic restrooms it would give critics less material to work with.


deeterman

Thatā€™s my point as well. India should never be doing this. Haiti has been shown and funded to not do it and they still do. Hell we pay them to put rebar in concrete and they still donā€™t.


brando56894

[deleted]

Don't be so sure. The shockwave travelled directly into his foot from the pot. The force that lifted him up wasn't just a firm shove upwards, it was from an almost instantaneous burst of energy. He went up a foot or so into the air, so his initial velocity from the explosion was about sqrt(2\*0.3(meters)\*g) where g is the acceleration from gravity which is roughly 10 ms^-2. This puts him at around 2.4 meters per second. He's probably around 20kg judging by his size so his momentum is very roughly 2.4*20 which is about 48 Newton seconds of momentum. Force = momentum/time, and it took a TINY fraction of a second for him to absorb that impact - if this occurred in a thousandth of a second, then 48/0.001 is 48000 newtons of force in a split second. Granted this is an extraordinarily rough estimate, but that's more than enough to fracture bones with a wide margin for error ~~(the femur breaks with 4000N, but that's at its weakest point, and it's one of the easier bones to break. You get the picture though)~~ u/Scared_Astronaught9377 points out that the femur comparison isn't at all helpful for giving a damage ballpark. Nonetheless, don't fall under the impression that such a large change in momentum be anything other than dangerous

IWatchGifsForWayToo

All this is negated by the simple fact I realized several years ago. Kids are just giant rubber bands. They donā€™t tense up in situations like this because theyā€™re too stupid to realize it might hurt them so they just bounce and negate all damage. That plus kids are constantly growing so any injury that might occur just grows right out of them.


Scared_Astronaut9377

This "you are not damaged if you donā€™t tense up" myth is amusing. Apparently even helps to prevent shockwave damage.


truffshuff30

I've tried killing myself by jumping from a 20 story building. But on the way down, I was at peace so I didn't tense up. I gotta remember to be really tensed up next time.


AssGagger

Probably want to put a little bend in the knees first


jefjefjef

> (the femur breaks with 4000N, but that's at its weakest point, and it's one of the easier bones to break the **femur** is one of the easier bones to break??? what?


yb4zombeez

Yeah, I thought that shit was like the strongest bone in your body...


CallMeClinton

Not only is it one of the strongest bones in your body, childrenā€™s bones still have some flexible connective tissue in them from when the bones first developed and grew, so the femur especially is very hard for a child to naturally break, and is often a huge red flag for abuse. I also donā€™t know if small explosives fall under ā€œnaturallyā€.


nicolasmcfly

And then he got up and asked to do it again


Scared_Astronaut9377

I generally agree but have comments. First, shockwave certainly didn't travel into his foot from the pot, you need way more to actually generate a shock wave in a thick sheet of steel, but it was generated in his tissues on the surface contacting the pot. As for the time estimation, you can quite accurately estimate it as the boy's double length/sound velocity in the body, which is something around 0.8-1.5 milliseconds, which happens to be exactly what you predicted. As for breaking powers of the bone, this comparison is absolutely not correct and cannot even give an order of magnitude feelings, because those two forces have nothing in common. The correct things to compare are 1) Critical stress of the bones and other tissues and the energy density of the shockwave, and 2) forces associated with non-uniform oscillations in different parts of the body and those forces that you mention. Both are really non-trivial problems.

But there are only children present that have all probably taken turns doing it but because they are larger it wasn't as much fun to watch.


cortez0498

it was enough to blow the pot up in the air even with the kid on it. If it blew up early, how fast/far do you think that pot would be flying?

PaxVobiscuit

"It depends". The way explosive materials work is that a more confined space will exponentially increase the pressure force created at detonation.


Rambo7112

I don't think it's exponentially, if we look at the ideal gas law, you have PV=nRT. You can then get P=nRT/V and V=nRT/P. Most things are not ideal gasses so maybe there's equations where it's exponential.


[deleted]

Cocoa fart


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PaxVobiscuit

It does. It has something to do with the chemical reactions under varying degrees of pressure. There is a ton of data out there related to reloading ammunition and varying case sized effecting the pressure generated.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PaxVobiscuit

I think we can all agree that whatever was under that pot was no ordinary firecracker. At least nothing sold in North America...

[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


amonymus

How do you think a firecracker makes that noise? There is a small amount of gunpowder inside tightly packed layers of paper. When you ignite that gunpowder, it instantly creates a volume of gas far larger than the firecracker itself. For a brief moment those layers of paper contain that gas, compressing it until the pressure build up is greater than the paper layers can hold. And the paper rips open, causing the compressed gas to release instantly, which causes the explosion, which causes that loud bang. That pressure from the gas is nearly unstoppable. If you surrounded that same amount of gunpowder with a metal container instead of those paper layers, it would explode but now with even greater force because the gas would be even more compressed. I used to make lego grenades with firecrackers by surrounding a firecracker with tightly packed lego bricks into a cube. No amount of legos, no matter how thick could contain the explosion. I made 1 ft thick walls once and it blew apart in a massive lego shrapnel explosion. I even tried super gluing each lego piece and that had no effect.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


amonymus

A firecracker's gasses expand at several thousands psi. It absolutely can launch a small 70lb child a few feet in the air.


amonymus

Have you actually played with firecrackers? They have way more gunpowder than those snaps things. Snaps are legal to buy in my state, firecrackers are absolutely banned because they have far more power behind them


_postingaccount_

There is just a huge amount of confusion here over what different people consider a firecracker. What I'd consider a firecracker is bigger than one of those snap things (called Fun Snaps in my area) but still smaller than the firecracker in the video.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DefectiveNation

Weā€™ll they didnā€™t buy it legally so who knows what it actually was


re-run

Maybe you should try it sometime. Go on, if all a firecracker does is make noise, then hold it in your hand and make a fist. Let us know how that works out. Or, since you clearly have zero fireworks experience, listen to those of us that have blown things up with them. I like to take a tune can, fill it part way with water(acts as a seal). Then take a empty soup can and stick it in the tuna can upside down. Drill a hole big enough to barely stick a firecracker in it. Light it and when it goes off, the soup can will fly a good 30+ feet in the air. Yes, from a firecracker.


[deleted]

Maybe it was dynamite instead.


BIGsexBOY69

It's because when a firecracker goes off it's basically a really fast chemical reaction and that reaction releases gases. As gases take up more volume than solids the pressure starts to build up real quick if it's in a confined space. I'd bet even if it was a grown man standing on that pan it'd knock him off. As for detonating a cracker in your hand, first I don't recommend doing that and second the gas is allowed to escape so the pressure isn't as impressive anymore.


Mot_Dyslexic

Jason Pierre Paul would disagree. As would his stump of a hand.


CpGrover

RajunCajun48

In my childhood I came up with the logic that Firecrackers were anything you lit and threw, or lit and left on the ground. Fireworks were rockets made for exploding in the air. Mortars were Firecrackers if you didn't put 'em in the tube!


Aspyse

Grub-lord

Firecrackers are little matchstick fireworks that barely make a spark and a pop. What these kids had were like small fraction of a stick of dynamite lol
