My dad asked me when I was 17 to do the pool chemicals, wasn't my first time so I knew what I needed. It was the first time my teenage brain went "Let's just mix this shit into one bucket and then dump it"
Within 15 seconds I was covered in chemicals, burning my hair and pants. I tore everything off and dosed myself with the hose as quick as possible. I still remember the burning like it was yesterday and not 15+ yrs ago.
Moral of the story, DON'T MIX CHLORINE WITH ANYTHING, EVER
There was a big revival of Zippo lighters when I was a teen. My equivalent decision was proudly bringing mine home, filling it with petrol from the can, and giving it a flick to test.
I will forever remember stamping out my own hand, which I had soaked with petrol.
Especially, dont mix brake fluid with chlorine - whilst i was a miscreant and lout, i mixed these to discover exothermic reaction that generated red flames and lots of chlorine gas - hauntingly beautiful- so dont do it
Not IQ. Inexperience. If she’d ever seen one of those explode, she probably wouldn’t have been there so long. Her bf is the fuckin dumb bitch because he sounds like he knew but wasn’t forceful enough to let her know it was dangerous.
I was taking my niece shooting, so I had her watch videos of idiots with guns. Dude hands his girl an automatic rifle. When she goes to fire she absolutely loses control and fires fuckin everywhere. The first thing she said was “you didn’t tell me!” She felt safe because her bf asked her to do it, but he was not at all clear about how fuckin dangerous it is.
"Ok, I am handing you this tool that is designed to extinguish human lives. Listen to me very carefully, this might sound crazy, but I have to absolutely say this: This is dangerous."
It's like those warning labels they have on products that read "Adult Supervision Required." but now if you read them, they actually have changed to "Competent Adult Supervision Required." Plain old "Adult Supervision" doesn't mean what it used to anymore. . .
Bro, I tried to make sure my niece understood how dangerous a firearm was… and still, after I had thoroughly instructed her on how to lay the gun down when not actively firing, she was careless and kept her finger on the trigger while setting it down vertically, hitting the butt and accidentally firing. Some things just take experience, man. Luckily we were in a controlled environment at the range, but she legit almost shot her other hand. It’s not super black and white. Sometimes you touch the stove because you’re really curious as to what it can really do. It’s just red? I like red. How bad can it be? And that’s how we learn not to touch red hot shit.
I wasn't commenting on you or your niece, but on the example of the guy and his girlfriend. If someone has to tell you that an assault rifle is dangerous, you shouldn't be in the vicinity of a shooting range.
That's like handing a drivers license to someone who thinks running into something with a car just makes it slightly bounce off of it.
"You didn't tell me this 2 ton metal thing will destroy that family if I run into them"
But how do you know unless you’ve already learned it? Someone has to tell you, or you have to have seen it. Even if someone tells you, can you really believe them? Sometimes you have to see for yourself, and sometimes that means that you are completely oblivious to the danger the action poses.
In the case of my niece, I quickly and safely took the gun from her and laid it down properly and stared at her nearly hyperventilating while she had a look of mild terror. She then understood why you need to handle it carefully.
Same with the scenario I gave. I don’t blame her. It’s like handing an AK to a monkey. Except the monkey doesn’t speak human. What do you think is gonna happen?
Congratulations u/pnw-techie, you have been randomly picked to be banned for the next 24h. Why? Because fuck you in particular. Don't forget to check our subreddit banner & sidebar ; you're famous now !
These actions were made by a bot twice as smart as a reddit moderator, which is still considered brain-dead
What? I mean, even monkeys are smart enough if you show them!! Who’s anti-monkey!?!? I still mourn Harambe! Yes I know he was an ape, that’s not the point.
You're pouring chemicals into a sealed container. Google exists, how the fuck you going to blame the boyfriend for not being forceful enough. Like anyone on reddit would appreciate a man telling a woman what to do in 2025 anyway lol
Genuinely I've come to the conclusion when I hand someone a loaded firearm now, unless I know they have experience or have been with me to the range before, I only load a single round.

Doubtful. The amount of pressure it takes to make a 2 liter bottle exploded is no joke. The pressure wave alone can seriously injury you at that distance, and almost certainly hearing damage. not to mention sharp plastic prices possibly flying into the face and eyes.
🎶 We can dance if we want to\
We can leave your friends behind\
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance\
Well, they're no friends of mine
“Hmm, I’ve just been told to get back for my safety, I think I’ll shake the very thing I’ve been told to get away from. Nothing bad will come from that at all.”
Yeah most the time a bottle like this breaks around the center of the bottle height with more of the force goes outward in a ring than toward the top or bottom. She was holding it by the top the plastic of which should have likely protected her hand to a degree.
When people lose hands to fireworks it's usally cause the have their hand all the around the center of the explosion. Meaning finger tips get pushed one way, the knuckle another and the palm another, separating them.
listening to her friend tell her to step back while she just stands there without a single thought behind those eyes just annoyed me lol. weaponized incompetence
Gloria had never done chemistry before
Literally
The physics are the dangerous part in this one.
And she won't ever again.
Guy: back up! Lady: what if, and hear me out, we do a lil dance
I know Mentos + coke = geyser, but what is this magic power (cordite?)
Pool shock, some type of chlorine based product.

Man, if only you had a big pool of water you could have jumped directly in...
I literally don't know why I made that decision other than it's just the way teenage brains work. Like it made complete sense in the moment.
It worked too, so it wasn't a bad decision at all.
Hindsight is always 20/20 but I can't help myself judging "grab a flexible tube that gives me 1gpm" vs "immediately doused in thousands of gallons" :)

now you're burning and drowning from panic!
Especially, dont mix brake fluid with chlorine - whilst i was a miscreant and lout, i mixed these to discover exothermic reaction that generated red flames and lots of chlorine gas - hauntingly beautiful- so dont do it
Especially dont mix it with brake fluid..
Why what happens?
Bit of a delayed reaction, and then it explodes. Usually shoots fireballs if its in a container but sometimes explods like a bomb even without a lid
Ahh nice stuff to explode in your face
One consistent theme of chemistry is that chlorine is angry all the time.
was not expecting that big of an explosion
You're not the only one!
And, certainly she wasn’t either…
IQ strikes again

Safety regulations are written in blood. So, idiot proof warnings are written in idiot blood I guess?
Yup. . . They are now.

And yet in certain places children are given driving licences. Which is frankly terrifying.

Yes IQ
Care to elaborate?

Some people just realize how dumb something is without being handheld through literally every possible thing.
Genuinely I've come to the conclusion when I hand someone a loaded firearm now, unless I know they have experience or have been with me to the range before, I only load a single round.
Her boyfriend told her to back up twice.
I have no experience with chlorine. I think it would be IQ that leads me to be very careful with unknown chemicals
Natural selection strikes again
Is she ok
No she's dumb as fuck.
But physically yes.
No she's not. The chlorine mix and plastic shards seriously damaged her eyes and face.
Source?
I mean the result is believable, but I don't know where you're getting that from
Their source is an AI bullshit story.
This is claimed to be "Tanesha Wocktaint" and she doesn't exist outside of this story.
Ah yes, the infamous Wocktaint peoples.
Of the Goochitch tribes?
From the land of Sugondeez?
Sugondees County I think
Glad to see still standing after

"Grok:"
Well, there is your first mistake...
Tanesha Wocktaint, doesn't exist outside of this video, and what looks like an AI story connected to it.
Holy shit, I don't know if believe Grok but if real... damn
Did you… follow the sources?
Good thing she did her experiment on the shrapnel hill.
Doubtful. The amount of pressure it takes to make a 2 liter bottle exploded is no joke. The pressure wave alone can seriously injury you at that distance, and almost certainly hearing damage. not to mention sharp plastic prices possibly flying into the face and eyes.
But it's not so bad if they're low prices.
No. Tanesha Wocktaint. An image search brought up her messed up face.
She blinded me with science!
Wrong sub. She’s entirely to blame for this situation and luckily seems to be the only victim
What the fuck did she think would happen?
Now do dry ice lol
What is that?
Pool shock and cola.
Yikes.
Yeah let's do science stuff on the big pile of shrapnel, we're the experts.
🎶 We can dance if we want to\ We can leave your friends behind\ 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance\ Well, they're no friends of mine
I hate when they don't keep filming all the way through the emergency room consultation. Don't cut the camera early.
At least she had safety glasses on.
The large explosion is dangerous enough, but it's also on loose gravel that could become an extra projectile
“Hmm, I’ve just been told to get back for my safety, I think I’ll shake the very thing I’ve been told to get away from. Nothing bad will come from that at all.”
Pretty certain thats chlorine. We use to blow mail boxes apart with this in highschool. Wonder if she got burnt.
Nah, that was more of a blow up, than a suck up.
Not really sure how this video fits into this sub
She still has hands?
Yeah most the time a bottle like this breaks around the center of the bottle height with more of the force goes outward in a ring than toward the top or bottom. She was holding it by the top the plastic of which should have likely protected her hand to a degree.
When people lose hands to fireworks it's usally cause the have their hand all the around the center of the explosion. Meaning finger tips get pushed one way, the knuckle another and the palm another, separating them.
When you didn’t bother to learn the chemistry behind the meme…
Stupidity can be painful. It usually is.
Shes fucked up for life.
Thought it was gonna be Skyrim at the end
Ignorance or Bliss, you can't have both.
Woman he said back up
Should've did the Safety Dance
What’s that dance called?
Saw this the other day. Did you guys know her last name is Wocktaint? Try saying THAT without laughing.
That's why you use water for dry ice bombs and don't shake them
Ay-Ayron
Oh… no……
After effect pics or video available?
Dancing
This woman must be a genius.
Dem lashes are Gone!
Back up Terry
Her later
Curious to know what injuries she got from this
I wonder how many fingers are still on that hand.
Not gonna lie, I was kinda expecting a Gus Fring kinda situation there…
FAFO..prime example
I am become blind, destroyer of eyes
listening to her friend tell her to step back while she just stands there without a single thought behind those eyes just annoyed me lol. weaponized incompetence
That's how she became a coke whore
you could do a little dance, child. but she didn't, and i'm sad about the tease
