    So many things wrong. How does this guy survive the winter. These arent 2 inch nails. Why would you nail a lithium battery. Why would you keep nailing it after it starts venting. Why would you touch it while it has a high chance if straight up exploding? Why would you throw it ("chuck it") near dry leaves in the middle of what appears to be wooded area? Let me make an educational video to help you avoid nailing your fingers while I demonstrate how you can lose your hand and or face.

    Lmao my dumbass was sending some, I think 2" brad nails through some 1" thick dowels. I'm holding it and send a nail into the area where my middle finger was. I didnt even notice it at first. I felt a small pressure. I go to take my finger away and I had to un-skewer it, slide it off, and that's when I realize I did indeed shoot the nail through my finger. It went into the middle inner part of my knuckle closest to the tip of my finger, and came out the side. I'm looking at it like "huh... no blood? Doesnt hurt...?...." bout 10 seconds and blood starts spurting out and I get a searing ache in my finger. I injure myself in the most stupid ways. I pray I never make that same mistake twice but sometimes I didnt learn my lesson the first time.
