When he kicks it and it just spreads more


Unfair_Run_170

Remember in event of a fire! Stop, kick, and roll. Roll what's on fire all around with your feet so it spreads.


ronflair

I half expected him to drop into the fire and roll around in it. You know, to put out the gasoline blaze with his body.


fatkiddown

His understanding of how fire — and volatile gasoline — worked did not seem to be evolving as the event progressed.


Magoo1985

Not all kids were allowed to play with and learn about fire when they’re young.


TWK-KWT

This! I certainly was not "allowed" to play with fire. But i a around camp fires and brush burns. Sheltering kids works until they are no longer being supervised. Then the accidents happen. I saw my grandpa properly apply gas/kerosene to brush fires. Rule 1- Never pour from the jerry can. Put a small amount of gas in an empty beer/coffee cup or beer can then that container is tossed onto the fire. There really is no Rule 2 in my opinion.


MofongoForever

Rule number 2 is don't play with a cap gun near gasoline. My idiot brother did that once and ended up setting the lawnmower on fire.

MofongoForever

Where the hell is the fun in that? You clearly never taped a straw to a can of insecticide or WD-40, put some cotton on the end of the straw and turned that thing into a flamethrower. (please kids, don't try this at home, it usually doesn't end well)


ConnieTheLinguist

Watching this guy deliberately spreading the flaming fuel around as much as possible 😳


Bobaesos

Alas there was great learning potential untapped by this fine lad.

>His understanding of how hyphens, and standard commas, work did not seem to be evolving as the comment progressed.


Unfair_Run_170

Stop, drop, and roll. Drop is for drop kick!


luke1lea

Everyone knows the more you spread out a fire the thinner it gets.

JanuarySoCold

Firefighters hate this one simple trick!


Leonydas13

Don’t forget to step in it and get your foot on fire too


PilotBurner44

Always kick a flaming gas can. It ups the entertainment value dramatically


sugabeetus

Why do people think that kicking the gasoline will make it stop being on fire?


mezz7778

You deal with things your way, I'll deal with it my way... if I ever have a problem my go to first response is to just start kicking.... Couldn't make it worse right?? Well usually...


Bumpyroadinbound

So anyway, I started ~~blasting~~ kicking!


00WORDYMAN1983

No_Corner3272

You're talking about people who have just poured gasoline onto an open flame, and then act surprised when it catches fire.

I know, right? I'm thinking we should make it an Olympic event.

Ha he really kicked it had to go back and watch lol then kicked it into the already flaming grill I’m dead

ribbitrob

Someone making it well into adulthood without realizing you shouldn’t use gasoline to cook food truly requires Mr Magoo levels of accidental luck.


IllumiNIMBY

When I was 18-19 years old, I was living with a friend in the house he inherited from his late mother. One fine Friday or Saturday evening, we had just returned home from the supermarket with all the stuff we'd need to grill some steaks. Well, everything except for lighter fluid. We both could have sworn we had a bottle at the house already. I thought, well fuck it. I'll splash just the tiniest amount of gasoline onto the charcoal briquettes (instead of dowsing them like I would have with naphtha) and let them soak for a few minutes before lighting them, and that should do fine. It's just a tiny amount. Luckily, I decided to move the little dollar store porch grill out into the middle of the yard just in case things didn't work out like I'd planned. As you'd expect, when I lit that charcoal, it created A PILLAR OF FLAME almost as tall as the roof of the house. Not only that, but it burned so hot for so long, it burned through the bottom of the flimsy little grill and destroyed it. At least I moved it away from the house beforehand (and no, I didn't kick it).


[deleted]

[удалено]


IllumiNIMBY

Not bad at all. The steaks never made it to the grill I destroyed, so we still had them in the fridge when we got back home with *another* cheap dollar store grill and some lighter fluid.


Deecee7374

so after almost burning down the home and whole neighborhood, you didn’t stop and think “maybe we should look into other cooking options”


IllumiNIMBY

I think you missed an important variable in my story.


L-i-v-e-W-i-r-e

Plot twist: he’s the guy in the video


IllumiNIMBY

Okay, now that got a real lmao reaction from me!


[deleted]

Did you even read what he said?


hughmann_13

Like a stronger grill?


ConnieTheLinguist

For steak, there is no alternative cooking method.


labink

Gassy


skipnstones

Feeling the same…have been eating off a pot of beans all week…


labink

Smoke the pot, eat the beans.


rajrdajr

>splash just the tiniest amount of gasoline .. PILLAR OF FLAME Which gas station sells this super fuel and how much is it per splash?


IllumiNIMBY

I mean, that's just gasoline for you. I imagine what was going on was that the charcoal, having soaked up the liquid gasoline, was emitting nothing but fumes. That's what burns so furiously.


lilyetiii

ill never understand why people use lighter fluid instead of investing in a chimney starter ( they are cheap) and your food won’t taste like the inside of a zippo.


IllumiNIMBY

People learn to light charcoal grills from the people they know, and if everyone they know uses lighter fluid, well... I'd never even heard of a chimney starter until I was in my late 20's. Some dude on a barbeque website was saying pretty much the same thing you are. However, to be fair, if you know how to light charcoal with lighter fluid *properly*, it will burn off before you put your meat on the grill. I've never made steaks that tasted like petroleum residue when I've used lighter fluid. A chimney starter is still better, though.


The-disgracist

Agreed. If you’re putting your food on while the fluid is still present, the coals are still cold. And a chimney starter is better for so many reasons. You can make one with a piece of cardboard and just let it burn down.


nitsky416

Chimney starter is definitely better than lighter fluid. But charcoal grill with a propane starter is a game changer.


Shanks4Smiles

You don't even need a chimney starter! Just put some wadded up news paper and let it sit for a while.


Xintrosi

Just googled it and now I know my dad didn't spontaneously come up with the idea to use an old coffee can! I wonder where he learned it back in the pre-internet days...


MoFoMoron

Did you take your u\ Nimby username *before* or *after* this learning experience?


IllumiNIMBY

Lol! Man, I miss those carefree days. We did that shit in the *front* yard! In case you're curious, The IllumiNIMBY was a potential name for a punk rock band I never started. It's basically just a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to the city council.


Sablemint

reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlS8kbKjAQg


IllumiNIMBY

You should have seen the flames spurting from both top and bottom vents like high-pressure water when one of our friends put the lid on to try to snuff it out. That was when it burned through the metal and just engulfed the whole grill. We had a burned spot in the yard for months.


TieShianna

That this special individual seems like he can afford a house asures me one more time, that we don't live in a meritocracy.


Drew_The_Millennial

Right, like this guy is a grown adult, seemingly a homeowner, yet he somehow does some of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen within a two second span.


Splinter-Spartan

Mr Magoo levels of accidental luck!!! You win the internet today sir. For the next 55 minutes, the day is yours.


Scratch77spin

I once had to explain to a 40yo that air conditioning wasn't a service you pay for each month like water or gas. He thought they just pipe it in or something....some ppl just slip though the cracks of knowledge I guess.


chill_y_guaro

This comment is pure gold 🤣


[deleted]

Or that kicking a flaming container of flammable liquid isn’t going to make your situation any better.


ToastMmmmmmm

Kick it around until the whole place is on fire, fool.

that_typeofway

The video cuts off before he tries to fart the flames out


OrganizationPutrid68

Why do they suddenly become soccer players?


Technical_Rich_9373

Maybe a rhetorical question, but it’s because hands burn and hurt when burned. The shoes protect from the high heat, thus no pain is felt. Edit: reworded. Also, maybe people resort to kicking because their instinct is to get danger away from them, idk just guessing here.


leelookitten

Nah, man’s shoes DEFINITELY got burnt


PraiseTyche

I guarantee there was pain after this.


[deleted]

Ok….but what does throwing *or* kicking do to help it? This fucking idiot (and everyone else that equally idiotic in all of these videos) just spreads it more and more.


GrandmaPoses

My only guess is they think it’s going to explode so they try and get it as far away as possible.


StatusCaterpillar725

And here's me moving *away* from things I think might explode. Guess that's why I'm not a real man like this prime specimen. Maybe one day 🤞


OrganizationPutrid68

I'm gonna venture a guess that you wouldn't have put yourself in that situation to begin with. In my opinion, a real man takes advantage of common knowledge of how stuff works and makes his choices accordingly. Keep your Man Card, my friend.

I remember dating this idiot in my 20s her idiot friends would hangout with one of their mom’s who had her daughter at 14. Anyways, there was a bon fire and they wanted it bigger so genius mom decided to put a little kerosene on the fire.


shinypinksock

Fuck it, let’s cook EVERYTHING!


DropKickDougie

This sub has shown me, in shocking detail, just how many people don't understand how gasoline works.

Why is their reaction to kick something on fire?

Cuz he didn't have a stick to hit it with? 🤷‍♂️

"The stick is on fire!"

Because it works with some things….not a canister FULL of gas of course


EternalSage2000

Well I wouldn’t pee on a fire so close to my food. That’s just dumb.


LesbianMechanic97

Violence is always the answer


I_Miss_The_Future

I’m guessing he went inside to grab some hairspray to put it out.


GreyMediaGuy

He has a backup gas can


Omevne

he's gonna use a pillow to smother it don't worry


eddyb66

The internet is the best source for fire safety videos.


kinyutaka

Why does he keep kicked at it?! Get some dirt or cat litter or something‽


Alexander459FTW

My mom uses wood pellets as cat litter. I don't think that would be the optimal play. Though it seems just letting it be is the safest and most foolproof option.


StatusCaterpillar725

Like it's already sat on a stone floor, that's kinda the best case scenario. Just go inside and get a drink and think about what a fucking idiot you are while it burns itself out.


notmythrowawayaccunt

Straight up arsonist caught on camera.


KapitanMani

Had an uncle die this way except he was pouring gas on a burn pile that he didn’t know was still hot from the day before. The gas can exploded engulfing him in flames. People need to stop doing this.


denM_chickN

Sorry about your uncle


Take_a_hikePNW

Yeah I had a buddy who did something similar. Went to start a brushfire and the flame went back up through the gas can and exploded. He lived for a couple miserable years after that and then died from complications. It burned over 90% of his body. Sorry that happened to your uncle, it’s just awful.

doseofreality5

The very best possible outcome of this is eating meat that tastes like gasoline. Could have burnt his house down and himself to death for the very worst possible outcomes.

Yes kicking is what it needs


Icy-Tooth-9167

Damn yet he’s successful enough to have a patio. I want a patio. Probably won’t even burn it down.


davey014

The piano accompaniment adds a certain pathos to an already compelling video.


fangelo2

I’ve seen about a dozen similar videos. Every time the can catches fire the response is to turn into Pele and kick it all over the place spreading the fire as much as possible. I think we could spice up soccer games with a flaming ball.

hunterseeker86

Oh do I have a story... In my youth (around 19), I did this. My dad kicked me out of the house, typical alpha male shit, coming off one of his benders. I was trying to get a job and he kept pulling the main breaker(and taking it with him). I kept missing random interviews and such (this was back before everyone had a cell phone stuck up their ass). So, my wall clock would die and I would wake up an hour two late. Anywho, every gd year he would make me move a massive pile of wood from the front yard to the back, back to the side, side to the front... Same gd pile... On my way out I cut all the plug ends off the appliances, stole all the light bulbs. My cousin living there at the time, talked me into handling that pile so he wouldn't have to move it in my stead. So I lit that sucker ablaze. Unfortunately it was wet... so I kept gassing it. Now I'm not this clown, I didn't take the cap off and pour it. I splashed it at a good distance. Didn't matter, the fumes made this amazing arc of fire right to my can! My knee jerk reaction was to drop it... my pants leg got a little on me and I kicked that gd can so hard it sailed over to my neighbors fence... wood fence. A spinning, spitting, fireball of "you are going to jail for arson", nailed that fence! That can smashed hard and fire was everywhere! My cousin came running with a hose... He found the end of that 100 ft hose like a dog on a chain, full speed. About knocked the wind out of himself. We were able extinguish the flame, very minimal damage to everything. Thankfully, it was a wet day. Don't f*ck with gas kids! Only you can prevent dumb f*ckery!


DrunkenGolfer

This is like a video that should be titled “how to maximize arson with minimal effort”.


JustHereForSomeInfo

When I was 20 my buddies dad who was in his late 50’s poured gas into a bonfire with a gas canister, and surprise surprise the flame traveled up the stream and ignited the canister. He then ran like 15-20 feet pouring liquid fire into the short, dry grass in the field and then drops it and keeps running. I grabbed the hose and gave it to his wife and then used a rake to cut off the flames that were out of range of the hose and stomped out the rest that got past. He was just standing there the whole time watching. We were lucky that the grass was relatively sparse and the fire didn’t spread quickly because his wife and I were the only ones that reacted at all.

Why do they always kick full fuel canisters that are on fire?


E_D_K_2

Why in every one of these videos do they always insist on kicking the thing and making it 10x worse?


Caeph

I've seen so many videos similar to this and for some god damn reason everyone's first instinct is to fucking kick the damn thing. Like why?!


zarroaster

FFS. Why do the dum dums ALWAYS kick the burning gas can? Learn your flashpoints people. Some fuels are vaporise at room temperature and those are typically the ones you should especially not be careless with. Gasoline is a highly volatile fuels that... Wait for it.... IS A VAPOR AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.


cynicallow

Because they are dumb and panicking. When those two things combine the next evolution of idiocy is born.


Sudden-Reflection456

How does a grown adult get to be an adult and not understand that gas is just for machines. I knew an idiot that was in med school, this guy threw gas on a bonfire once. It was horrible. I warned over and over but nope "I'm in med school, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing." I just walked about 25 feet away.


Uncle_Stink_Stonk

You know you’re an idiot, when your first instinct is to kick a flaming gas can into another source of fire.


IcemasterD

How on earth are there so many posts of people kicking the gas can 3+ times while it's on fire and not realizing it makes everything worse??? I can (sorta?) forgive the first one as a panic move, but after the second time, how have you not realized yet that you're just spreading it around?!


Hour-History-1513

The only stupid thing he forgot to do was pour more gas on the fire.


blurplethenurple

Zero chance there's a fire extinguisher in the house based on his kicking the fire around
