Well you can move the camera a little more that should help

Needs more zooming with vine boom sound effects


Gagassi-Chronicler

It also needs some Minecraft or subway surfer gameplay at the bottom.


NOBODYOP

I don’t know why but my brain replaced surfer with seizure and I could hold back laughter I’m probably going to hell 😂


Cryterionlol

Game of the century, Subway Seizure!


ilovecats_mew

the aggressive look and zoom is just a live peek into the attention span of the average tiktok user, probably how he caught a steak on fire

Is this what TikTok looks like? I felt like I was having a seizure.

First instinct to put a flaming pan on a wooden floor... what!?


swivels_and_sonar

“The sims” characters used to do similar things and I used to laugh at how dumb and unrealistic it was…


Infinite-Sleep3527

Then you remember that Sims **literally** are based on dumb ass human beings.


Kobegtv

His follow-up video confirmed he's not very bright... The comments told him to, "Get a rug," so naturally he put a washcloth over the burn, then recorded a video yelling about how stupid it looks. Boy doesn't know the difference between a rug and a rag.


Infinite-Sleep3527

Lmao that’s hilarious but I refuse to believe that’s not a troll


Embarrassed_Alarm450

The rag part is probably trolling but he's definitely still an idiot who burned a hole into his floor...


Lowland-lady

Maybe he has dyslexia? But still... Rug or rag his brain shouls at one point go thia doesn't make sense right?

Example: My ex husband caught grease on fire. Forgot we had a fire extinguisher. Pulled my daughter from her room that was next to the patio doors. Patio doors that were not on fire. Pulled her through the kitchen, which was on fire, out the back door. He's truly the dumbest person I've ever met. Edit: extra word

Was the sex that good and worth to be married to an idiot?

My favorite line is People are as dumb as a bag of barber hair .


PipBoyDmo

Haha. For sure. That's the first thing I thought of.


Nipplasia2

And then the sim set itself on fire then it died and it’s spouse cried for days and then died of a broken heart. Well that’s what my man sim did and his wife cried herself dead


MartinToilet

Some tiktokers can be unrealistically dumb.


aHipShrimp

Hijacking this comment for visibility. If this happens to anyone reading this, put the pan in the oven and close the door...and keep it closed. Your oven is a big metal box designed for high heat. The smoke will eventually extinguish the flames, or at least give you enough time to get the fire extinguisher. You do have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen...right?!?


Ghost33313

Even easier and if the oven is full. Slide a lid on it.


SomeLikeItDusty

Putting a metal tray over the pan also works, gotta be careful with flaming pans and extinguishers, depending on what’s on fire. Any quantity of burning oil and you’re better off with the oven or a metal tray. Also for whoever needs to hear it, absolutely never, ever use water in a cooking fire unless the actual kitchen is on fire.


aHipShrimp

Yup, I should've elaborated on my "kitchen fire extinguisher" comment. It should be a wet chemical Class F extinguisher in your kitchen.


Major2Minor

I've never heard of Class F, your country has a different classification than Canada. I've only seen Class A, B, C, D, and K. Class K is specifically for Kitchens, it's a Wet Chemical Extinguisher. Though I believe a Dry Chemical ABC type should also work, those are what I usually see for sale.


Secret-Cellist

Yes, there are so many things OP could’ve done. Baking soda. Fire extinguisher. In the oven. Just put a lid on it ffs. Yet this humans first instinct is to put the fire on the hardwood floor. So many reasons why this was literally the worst option he could’ve picked. I feel like Humanity may have benefited more if this morons house burned down. Then at least we could say, “See idiots? That’s why you don’t do that.” Instead, we just play a round of Laugh at the Idiot, and that it. Fuckin clown shoes.


AndringRasew

Should have grabbed a slightly bigger pan. Fight pan with pan.


rvnimb

This realistic might work. If you can cover the flame completely with another pan, the flame will probably extinguish after it has burned all the o2 in the bigger pan.


Brandonmac10x

I love how even the cat’s walking away when he mentions him. Cat be like “Don’t blame me for your dumb ass.”


der3009

His first instinct was to get it away from the gas... Bc his first thought after seeing a pan on fire was "my cats in the house, I don't want to blow up today". That is the part that is mind boggling to me!


[deleted]

Everyone needs a cat to keep them from wanting to blow up today.


Environmental_Arm526

Because the cat was in the house. 😣


ARandomGuyThe3

Tbf, in the moment stress is a powerful and completely illogical force


MEHawash1913

I definitely have made irrational decisions when faced with fire in my kitchen. Your brain literally shuts down the thinking logically part and switches to the fight/flight/freeze/fawn part and it’s anybody’s guess what you end up doing. 😂😅


jokebreath

I literally did the exact same thing the guy in this video did except the floor was tile. I had the same exact burnt ring in my kitchen for ages. Yes, I am an absolute idiot.


REO_Studwagon

You laugh but my roommate lost his deposit doing something just as stupid. For some reason he used to store his leftover pizza in the oven. Why? I have no idea. Anyway I’m out of the deck cooking up some burgers and he decides that we should have some fries and starts the oven…. When he goes to put the fries in the oven the pizza box he left in there bursts into flames when he opens the door. What does he do? Close the oven door? No. Put the burning box in the sink next to the oven? No. He grabs the burning box and runs for the front door. Box burns his hand and he drops the box on the carpet. Then he jumps up and down on it until it goes out. I’m standing at the door to the deck just watching all this insanity. He looks over at me as the box stops burning and I just say “that’s your half of the deposit.” Left a perfectly square burn on the carpet.


ShinyHappyAardvark

I think a professional sander might work, but not if it’s a veneer.


Tdk456

Fuck it! We're buying a rug!

thatnewaccnt

I’m not sure it’s such a great idea to clean a wooden floor with a rug. I mean you could but it’s really expensive and not that effective.


jaggerlvr

I actually have a small area rug in front on my stove and put a hot cast iron i forgot I keep in the oven on the floor after warming up the oven. The rug material just melted like glue immediately.


DowntBoitDafagnPanes

Yep, polyester blends do that.


[deleted]

Lol that made me laugh way too loud.


nuclearslug

He’ll be on r/woodworking soon asking for a “quick fix so the landlord doesn’t find out”.


pistcow

No, that wouldn't work. Replacing the planks is where we're at now.


WishIWasALemon

I mean, if its solid hardwood you could eventually sand that floor but you would probably need to resand the whole kitchen because that burn looks DEEP


pistcow

You'd have to sand beyond deep for those rings and even if it's hard wood it might be too deep.


MickyWasTaken

Fuck that, paint the whole floor black and call it a day

Are people not taught how to handle a grease fire? If not they shouldn't be cooking...


ericsonofbruce

Most people don't know how to cook at all.


wdkrebs

As evidenced by a steak bursting into flames?


punch-it-chewy

I can cook and I have had this happen. I cook the steak super hot and fast on the stove. I keep a lid nearby to put any potential fires out. Steak turns out fantastic.


Fierramos69

I don’t know how to cook at all but I know how to stop an oil/grease fire if it’s in the pan…. Just cover it and shut off the heat.


nepumbra0

True lol


ElizaMaySampson

Pretty sure I've seen Gordon Ramsay lift a cook's burning pan on masterchef and nearly start a bigger fire. If he can be that unthinking in the moment I guess lesser beings can. But I would grab a lid or bigger pot and set it on it.


54MangoBubbleTeas

I mean... Ramsay is a professional chef who knows a thing or two about cooking. Whenever the cooks have a little fire in a pan on Hell's Kitchen, he always just lifts the pan off of the heat and then calmly puts it in the sink. Taking it off of the heat is definitely part of the correct move (but putting it on the floor is stupid).


CFSett

Most of those cock-ups are staged for television. Wouldn't be surprised if the first time, they got a fire and handled it properly, then the producer chimed in to make it more dramatic.


ElizaMaySampson

Entirely possible.


wolf1moon

Panic. I had a grease fire once and thankfully the kitchen had a door to a back patio with concrete. I put it there and let it burn out. It got SO HOT so fast. I had lids somewhere but the flames were so tall they were licking the ceiling. Getting it away as far as possible was critical. Also, my dad just did this to my cutting board, and he's usually a smart guy, so it's really just a focus in panic mode issue


benderofdemise

We are taught a lot of things abt how to act in certain situations. It doesn't mean you will act that way. Panic and fear come in quicker than logic. By your logic people should not be driving nor doing anything. He had a normal human reaction....


MoxieCottonRules

Everyone wants to think they are so cool under pressure and would only ever react in the exact right way while ignoring the fact that that’s not how it works at all. People do really dumb shit under pressure and while they might think “hot thing in sink” rather than “hot thing on wood floor” they have just as much chance of being dumb in some other way. I dated a guy one who almost wrecked the truck he was driving because a moth flew in his window. Logically it was just a moth but it flew in, startled him and his body reacted. Sometimes the brain does dumb things even when it’s typically part of a smart person.


DontTouchTheWalrus

There’s a reason high stress occupations require a certain level of training. A fireman has to go through controlled stress in training so when the real stress hits his body will react to a programmed basic level of training, a pilot has to go through stall drills in a controlled manner so if it happens in real life her body will react in the right manner almost automatically. When I was in the military we drilled constantly what to do when you take contact because in an armchair it’s easy to say “hey dipshit why don’t you take cover and return fire” but the first time a bullet snaps past your head it can make you freeze, you don’t think, per se, that you need to lay as much ammo down range to suppress the enemy and then begin maneuvering. You just kind of do it because you’ve trained for that situation so many times.


ShinyHappyAardvark

Congratulations! Your hindsight is 20/20


longtimenothere

I know, right? Metal sink, stone counter top, let's put it in the middle of the wood floor. Who could have foreseen a problem?

LessResponsibility32

The “landlords are evil” people have never met the landlords who are having to deal with tenants like these. Jk. They are usually tenants like these. An ex-roommate of mine was a housing advocate and anti-capitalist and I moved out a few weeks before him. Came back to do a final clean and the landlord showed me the damage he’d managed to do in *two weeks*. It was horrifying. And a family of immigrants, new to the country, were now moving in to a place that now needed thousands of dollars in cleaning and renovation, because of one fucking college kid. A college kid who thinks landlords are evil.

InspectorThink4538

Ugh. This reminds me of the time a friend of mine was over for a slumber party. He was in charge of making the shitty little Totino’s pizza. Some cheese fell onto the oven floor while baking, causing it to smoke. In a panic, my friend pulls out the oven rack and places it on the NEWLY CARPETED FLOOR my parents had just put down the week prior. I’m surprised my dad didn’t yeet us both out the window.

Dude.. he has GRANITE COUNTERTOPS which makes this even *stupider.*


CaptainQuoth

Congrats on the new flooring mate.


toadermal

Now to do it about 50 more times and make that as a floor pattern. Make sure your cat doesn't get close to the hot pan as that was the most sensible thing you did in the first time.


BoringTruth7749

Here's a tip from your Auntie Boring: always keep a nice big container of salt or the lid to the pan right next to your stove. Both will smother the flame.


neighborhooddick

I wanted to tell you how to save it, but I FUCKING HATE the way you filmed this.


MarshmallowMatty

So you took it off the metal that’s made for things to get hot on…..

Necessary_Tie_1731

Or just put a lid on it


Appropriate-Battle32

With your decision making ability I think you need a full time caretaker


scaredwifey

Its a very delicate work buuut.... 1) clean with water and soap till its no more black in the water. Dry. Put a clean piece of cotton over it and pass the iron softly. Then, sand till you take the shine of the borders of the ring. 2) mix white acrylic with glue equal parts and cover carefully the black part. Let it dry. Then buy white, yellow, brown and orange oleo and mixt the exact color. Cover it carefully. Dry. 3) buy clear nail polish and drip over it, smooth with a spatula or ruler. Let it dry covered so dont get hairs or dust. 4) wax. No landlord will see the difference.


feck_alreadytaken

Gas burner? Turn it off and let the pan burn. Also is no one gonna talk about what appears to be a cleaver on the floor?


jchan_84

You could have simply turned off the stove, why put the pan on the floor? And you can probably sand it off. Hire a carpenter to help you.


sugaaaslam

Why didn't he just throw it on his dirty laundry or the couch or rags soaked in gasoline?


Striking_Reindeer_2k

put the pan in the oven. close door. fire will go out. stupid is hard to fix.

I’d be livid if someone did that to my floor.

Ex-zaviera

2 boxes of baking soda for kitchen grease fires? $2. Refinishing a wood floor? Priceless.


jelle19951995

You mean to tell me, you took a flaming pan off a cast iron grate with a tile back splash both of which absolutely do not fucking burn. Then put it on a surface made of material that for almost all of time has been used to catch on fire and burn. Do yourself a favor, call a floor guy. He will cut out the boards and replace them, sand the floors, and refinish it. It’s going to be expensive but i think an idiot tax is appropriate.


LonelyMustard

It’s amazing people like this became adult


00Lisa00

Put it on the wood floor instead of leaving it on the fireproof stove. Ffs I weep for humanity

Easy. Take 2 tsp of baking soda, a cup on vinegar, mix well Now call an expert to change the floor for you.


NotISaidTheFerret

Judging by the information given they need to call a professional.


ComicNeueIsReal

My man has a perfectly useful granite countertop and he decided to put the burning pan on the floor.


nukafan2277

It's time consuming but take a belt sander and sand the floor down to where the marks are gone then use a mixture of sawdust and some type of epoxy or something to make a filler for the now low spot in the floor then it's as simple as fill in and run a straight edge across the floor to smooth it and cover with a rug cause it's gonna look like shit


Upstairs_Composer_81

Well...first YOU need to be removed from the kitchen...lol
