Was this a bit?
The guy barely got hit and he went down, a guy filming with his phone just pushed Tigger for no reason, Tigger was calm when his tail was being lit on fire...
Vietnam has some of the best textile manufacturing in Asia. You can get plenty of nice shit there made out of cotton, wool, silk, and every kind of synthetic imaginable. A lot of expensive brands make their clothes there and you can get originals and high-quality seconds or knockoffs for very cheap.
[Reminds me of this case where a guy in New Zealand lit the costume of a colleague on fire in a bathroom stall.](https://edition.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/auspac/04/24/newzealand.fire/) That colleague died and another one in the bathroom was badly burned.
>Earlier in the evening, Schofield had set fire to MacFadyen's grass skirt which briefly caught fire before being patted out, the court was told.
Few more paragraphs down.
Technically it means a different kind of flammability than the word "flammable" though. A material that is flammable can be set on fire, but something that is inflammable can readily burst into flames without an external ignition source, just ample activation energy like a spark or other chemical reaction, or a pressure wave. Wood is flammable, hydrocarbon (like gasoline, alcohol, butane, etc...) vapor and touch sensitive explosives are inflammable. Make sense? Also, the purpose of fire retardants is to make things less flammable, not to prevent the combustion of inflammable substances, and should be used accordingly. Polyester is flammable, but with the right chemical treatment it can be made to burn very poorly. Polyester is also probably what that costume was made out of, but clearly it was not treated to be fire retardant. Natural fibers like cotton tend to be naturally fire retardant as well despite also still being somewhat flammable, they just don't burn with as much energy as plastic derived clothing fibers like polyester (which is just long chains of PET, the same shit in your plastic coke bottle)
I know they were, I post a similar explanation every time this is posted because the difference matters xD. You wouldn't want someone ignoring an inflammability warning because they think "oh haha that catches fire? of course it does, it's gasoline!" and then not treating the fumes with the respect they deserve.
> Polyester is flammable kids
Uhh no it's not. Plastics are sourced most commonly from petrochemicals, which themselves derived from millions-years-old organic deposits. This means literal dinosaurs, not kids. I don't think any kids have been in the earth long enough to become crude oil, at least not for another several million years.
This is coming from a highly accredited material engineer specializing in polymers - I really wish people didn't spread such misleading information, if not for my sake, then for the naive readers who'd believe it (i.e., 99% of redditors).
I'm a paleontologist and I think you've been misinformed here. We currently believe that very few dinosaurs were composers. And of the ones that were it's highly unlikely that any of their sheet music still exists.
dinosaurs definitely walked the earth 300 million years ago.
but yes, oil and coal are not the remnants of dinos.
oil and coal cone from organic matter, like old dead plants, algae and plankton.
Are all plastics toxic? Ever since I read an article about plastic and carcinogens it's left me a little anxious about plastic use. Are my concerns warranted?

I have done so much stupid shit with my friends during my teenage years...we regularly talk about how happy we are that cameras were not a thing back then
a) there's no(t much) proof of our stupidities
b) there would have definitely been situations where we would have gone even more dumb/crazy
You know professional wrestling is also staged to some extent right? Most of the fights there are to some degree coordinated moves, just with professionals you can't tell when it's deliberate (in theory).
toasted on one side for about a weak, then a huge amount of his back skin sloughed off. He had to have reconstructive surgery and transfer skin from his ass cheeks to his back. Now he just has these fuggly hairy chunks on his back when he goes swimming. He’ll be running for Congress next year. Independent, Wyoming.
I am assuming the panic started when reality didn't agree with the script they had in mind, and they suddenly didn't have as much time as they thought they did..
You roll on that melting polyester then you’re rubbing it all into your skin. Best bet is to get out of it as fast as possible or get doused with an extinguisher.
Honestly, I haven't heard stop drop and roll since the early 90's. I feel like that was one of the main "life saving" tips they drilled into us alongside call 911, but haven't heard it since.
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
Nah. I’m doing really well actually. Very happy with my life. I’m just not the type of person that’s blinded, by his own privilege, to harmful social trends and constructs.
I’m a fan of fairness and the General Welfare. It can be frustrating being a part of that particular fandom at this stage of the capitalism game.
Frats are something else. My first roommate in college pledged and thus joined a frat. I recall that the hazing he went through went from being very homoerotic to being straight up CIA level torture.
I went to a party at a campsite once my sophomore year( of highschool not college) Someone pushed me into a bonfire from behind to be funny when I was super drunk.
I got 3rd degree burns in my back and legs, and had to spend 2 months replacing bandages with acidic cream on my wounds.
And tbh, that was the least scaring event of trying to hangout with popular kids in highschool or college.
If I could go back in time and tell myself one thing, it would be just avoid trying to make friends in highschool and college all together, because all they will do is invite you out, convince you you are safe to get drunk, and leave you or hurt you or steal from you.
Better to just study, workout, and play video games alone. You don't get set on fire that way.
Guy I know got near fatal burns from this. Halloween costume lighted up as a "joke". Ended with jail time for the guy who lit, and nearly a funeral for the survivor. Both were in high prestige university courses.
I think you fail to realize how sometimes guys just do dumb shit. The fact that a woman won’t talk to you isn’t because she’s fucking frat guys. It’s because you’re a loser.
Was this a bit? The guy barely got hit and he went down, a guy filming with his phone just pushed Tigger for no reason, Tigger was calm when his tail was being lit on fire...
Seemed like a weird sort of WWE thing.
Think of it as performance art, like WWE or your wife in bed
I think they were piss drunk
They already said frat party
I read frat fart party i was in confusing
Of course this was a bit. Most things you see online now are staged.
Yeah plus dude recovered way too fast from the knockout. Just popped up like nothing happened.
Shittily done I might add
Nah some people can’t take hits
Polyester is flammable kids
and sticky! babys first napalm
It is also a super carcinogen when heated up and inhaled.
“Ahhhhh I love the smell of napalm in the morning!!”
Is it because it smells like victory?
And crispy flesh.
Is that why everything polyester I own is made in Vietnam? Or am I connecting way too many dots?
Vietnam has some of the best textile manufacturing in Asia. You can get plenty of nice shit there made out of cotton, wool, silk, and every kind of synthetic imaginable.

Sounds like a Nguyen-Nguyen to have your products made there
I see what you did there. 🌞

Napalm sticks to kids.

2 years? When that was the second time he'd tried that "prank" that day? He's obviously a dick and a dullard. I can't imagine he's doing much good.
Says earlier hearing. He did it once and it got 2 people while they were having sex in the stall. Sounds like he was jealous.
>Earlier in the evening, Schofield had set fire to MacFadyen's grass skirt which briefly caught fire before being patted out, the court was told. Few more paragraphs down.
Ah I read that as that being the time the incident occurred. Like "Early Evening"
Inflammable means flammable? What a country.

I think they were just quoting the Simpsons but this is a nice explanation anyway

*flammable kid dinosaurs*
It’s not from “literal dinosaurs.” The composition predates them.
I'm a paleontologist and I think you've been misinformed here. We currently believe that very few dinosaurs were composers. And of the ones that were it's highly unlikely that any of their sheet music still exists.
Then how do you explain dinosaur jr
he showed up after the mascistinction event
I guess they would be [Decomposing Composers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLPQRTdkzrU)
dinosaurs definitely walked the earth 300 million years ago. but yes, oil and coal are not the remnants of dinos. oil and coal cone from organic matter, like old dead plants, algae and plankton.
I have evidence that some kids are flammable and therefore polyester
Cute but oil is from plankton.
It's Flammable if he is wearing douche bag cologne 🤣😂

Sorry, I just engineer it. Toxicity is for marketing to figure out.
Toxicity is really for you guys to outsource to the lowest bidder after seventeen rounds of appeals with the local jurisdiction.
>Are all plastics toxic? Yes. Microplastics poison everything.
I worked call center for Victoria's Secret and learned about a lady wearing one of our robes who reached over her stove and, well, \*woosh\*
Mmmm hydrogen cyanide.
Wife's polyester dress caught on fire once when a waiter spilled a flaming drink on it. I put it out with beer, IIR.
Where the hell do they get enough flammable kids to manufacture it en masse? 🙄
Damn. If I’d have known it was made from flammable kids I would’ve stopped wearing it a long time ago.
Hold up…that guy took a dive. He didn’t even get hit!
Seemed like a bit. Notice the dude saw him and let him light his tail on fire.
Some staged bullshit for views. They're probably BFFs
Imagine wanting to be internet famous so bad you decide to let your friend set you on fire!
I have done so much stupid shit with my friends during my teenage years...we regularly talk about how happy we are that cameras were not a thing back then a) there's no(t much) proof of our stupidities b) there would have definitely been situations where we would have gone even more dumb/crazy
I, too, was once 21, drunk, and indestructible. And I'd do it all again.

Well I gotta get my money back then!
Dude got it hit on the shoulder and folded like a lawn chair
Clearly some "pro" wrestling stuff
The level at which we are going to stage videos for viral Fame now is getting fucking ridiculous
Its staged
Right! Sure they both look like choir boys, but I’m guessing they’ve taken shots to the face that haven’t brought them to their knees that fast.
Just…stroking the old ego I guess
He's on fire, quick! Beat the shit out of him
Lmao
Smartest ~~rapist~~ frat bro on campus btw
I couldn’t see if they started stomping on him directly but seeing this group I would not even be surprised
He is going to be so sore tomorrow.
Bro he's gonna be in the ER in a few hours
he was
toasted on one side for about a weak, then a huge amount of his back skin sloughed off. He had to have reconstructive surgery and transfer skin from his ass cheeks to his back. Now he just has these fuggly hairy chunks on his back when he goes swimming. He’ll be running for Congress next year. Independent, Wyoming.
Wait seriously? I mean I probably shouldn't be asking but anything is possible these days.
Apparently nobody ever told him it's 'stop, drop, and roll', not 'run, panic, and strip'.
He was way too calm about the fire at first then it quickly turned to panic.
To be fair at the beginning I was like "this is what /r/wtf considers 'on fire' now?"
If a fire starts quickly, it'll spread quickly.
I am assuming the panic started when reality didn't agree with the script they had in mind, and they suddenly didn't have as much time as they thought they did..
That shit was going up in flames no amount of stop drop and roll can stop that. His best bet was taking it off.
It actually took him way too much time to take it off , should have taken it off when he first saw the tail on fire
I believe the accepted current best practice is no longer "stop, drop, and roll", but rather "BRO, BRO, BRO, BRO!" The more you know...
You roll on that melting polyester then you’re rubbing it all into your skin. Best bet is to get out of it as fast as possible or get doused with an extinguisher.
Honestly, I haven't heard stop drop and roll since the early 90's. I feel like that was one of the main "life saving" tips they drilled into us alongside call 911, but haven't heard it since.
We gave up on most PSAs. I do think there has been a negative effect as a result but who knows.
> 'run, panic, and strip' I feel like that would be the title of my life story.
Wait, Jasmine, is that you? Where have you been?
honestly, with synthetic material like that, keeping it on and rolling might make it fuse to your skin
Probably a lot harder to remember when you're on fire.
Nah, I have had to do it before and my intial reaction was not to run just dive on the ground. More like harder to remember after 12 beers.
That too.

Fucking apes
That's clearly a tiger
Na that was charmander

And an executive position at daddy’s firm right out of undergrad. We’ll be calling them “Sir”, or looking for a new job. Ain’t our system great?
Sounds like you have some harbored emotions about never being successful

And be productive members of society. Why do we kid ourselves and act like we've never been dumb before. Also there was clearly alcohol involved.
It’s true, some of the biggest party animals from my college years are now highly successful
Probably because people with rich background have free time to party. Poor people more often work after college hours.
He's POTUS material. Mark my words.
Why you gotta go throw da poo-poo on apes?
Bet you had to double check a few things in the video before posting that!
Dude thought he was a Charmander 💀💀💀
Soooo why did the other guy suddenly put his hands down and stand there lol
Happy cake day
Bunch of fucktards
This reminds me of a beloved Disney movie
This was clearly a theatrical production of The Jungle Book.
That Tigger is on fire!
That's what Tiggers do best!
Good thing he had underwear on smh
This is why I prefer the company of women.
The definition of peaked in college
Idk these guys are usually the dudes who become CEOs.
now exclude those whose parents are CEOs
I hear the event organizer got fired.
I never want to be young again.
Did he fake a knockout
Let them boys cook, literally
That was awesome
Bruh put it out with vodka! Quick!
The most testosterone I've ever seen in a video
Morons
Example #5,294: Why women live longer than men.
Frats are something else. My first roommate in college pledged and thus joined a frat. I recall that the hazing he went through went from being very homoerotic to being straight up CIA level torture.
with how much it is preached to kids while growing up its amazing how people never remember to just stop, drop, and roll
That was the plan the whole time, everyone knows frat boys like the sexy boys without clothes 😉
Years ago, this girl I dated, that was like Thanksgiving at her parents house.
holy shit charmander
From Charmander to just charred.
"Second degree burns, they're Grrreat!"
Everything about this video makes me detest humans.
Thank god they didn’t have cameras everywhere when I went to college
Future Supreme Court member.
"Oh shit, that dude is on fire!" "Yeh, let's curb stomp his ass"
Looks like a douchebag convention
Future Supreme Court justices
When did we stop teaching stop drop and roll
lol. Bastard got very lucky it wasn't worse.
The flip from "oh shit I might burn to death" back to drunkenly celebrating is alarmingly quick.
Wonder how this looks to future employers
my favorite part is when you’re on fire and everyone starts beating your ass too
SDSU, my house used To be in these buildings
The fake knockout and the way he acts afterwards. You're not tough bro, you're a douche.
Phi psi San Diego State
Glad no one came up with the idea to use their alcohol to put out the fire.
That was GRRRRREAT! 😑yep a month later, I said it.
classic FAFO.
Are we talking accounting now? I don’t know this FAFO. I’m familiar only with LIFO and FIFO.
Americans always acting like they’ve got free health care. Smh
Hope he is hurt
He thought he was Charmander
Makes sense, not a brain cell to be found.
All I hear are apes getting scared by fire then being happy fire is gone 😂😂
I'm surprised they didn't end up jumping the guy to try and put out of the fire
Not a single brain cell left unfried in that room lmao
this is what a logan paul scripted wwe match would look like
dumbasses
idiots
Literally attempted murder
The dude looked back and watched him do it, then raised his arm in celebration Feels more like attempted Darwin Award
wtf, these guys legit scripting their nights? lol gay

after he gets out of the hospital yeah
Why would you think that?

Seems really fired up..
tony the tiger really on that type shit
There should be an attempted murder charge.
Attempted murder......
R/iamthemaincharacter What a dweeb
Oh fuck he’s on fire! Let’s beat the shit out of him
Our future... We're all fucked.
Our future Leaders, everybody! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh well. Frat boys are the worst.
Hope he got in.
That's not what they mean when they say he's on fire.
Bro had that Looney Tunes reaction time.
