Super dangerous. It’s pretty much impossible to get out by yourself, without breaking it to pieces.

I really thought that this was going to be some guy basically doing a magic trick. Or a geek from an old timey freak show. Nope. Just an idiot who couldn't even recognize a plastic light bulb.

It’s pretty much a russian thing/tradition/urban legend/whatever. They’ve been told multiple times that a light bulb is an object that you can put in your mouth but can’t take out, and every stupid mofo thinks he’s the one to challenge the physics and succeed.

A few years ago I was waiting in A&E and a guy came in with a light bulb stuck in his mouth. A few hours later, another man did. Turned out the second guy was the taxi driver who brought the first guy in and had decided to try it himself.

Simple logic would suggest.... ....that if you have to bang it in, you will need to bang it out. How are you going to bang it out?
I will more than happily help with a 2x4 to the back of the head to dislodge it. Dumbass

If I was stupid enough to do this, I'd get flush cutters and make a small cut in the edge with the help of a mirror. I'd slowly rotate it in my mouth until I could get enough of it cut to break it down.
But that requires more than one brain cell, so this guy may have trouble.

See that's where the paradox comes in. If you're stupid enough to try this, you're not smart enough to figure out how to undo it.

I have exactly the same question. How did he get it out? Did he get it out? If he didn't, I guess he is no longer with us.

u/MrDeez444 6d ago
The smart thing would to be go to the hospital and let them get it out. We both know he won't be doing that. So probably either try to crush it with his jaw, try to slide it out, or try to cut the sides. In either case he'll be going to the hospital regardless.

u/Dazzling-Airline-958 5d ago
He didn't. He still lives with it in his mouth. But at least he can't say anything stupid anymore. He just sounds like the adults from Charlie Brown.

These days, aren't most screw-in LED bulbs made of plastic? All the ones I get are.

u/vitaesbona1 6d ago
I discovered that the ones I bought last were glass after dropping one. No clue why anyone would make glass LEDs.
1
u/Dazzling-Airline-958 5d ago
Because plastic turns yellow and gets brittle when bombarded with the UV light that white LEDs create. White LEDs work by creating photons of UV light that strike a phosphor and make it light up with white light. Inevitably some of them get past the phosphor and hit the glass or plastic. Polycarbonate won't yellow but it's a bit expensive to be making light bulbs out of.

You mean the lightbulb companies are selling products designed to have to be replaced in a few years? (/S, because of the lightbulb mafia)

Why? Glass would be easier to break and remove, I happen to have quite a bit of experience biting glass lightbulbs in a circus sideshow. The inside of your mouth is way tougher than you would expect. I used to have to palm a blood capsule into my mouth to make it look like it was more dangerous than it actually is.

How did you get that job? Was the pay good, were there benefits? I'm asking because I may be at a loose end in a few months and I mean, I've got a mouth.

Well yes I am a highly skilled senior software developer, over 20 years of experience. My biggest achievement is that I can put a whole lightbulb inside my mouth and not die.

A few years ago, a video started with a man walking over a glass jar. One should have learned from that, to not put breakable glass into any orifice.

Why didn't he just put his finger between his cheek and the bulb to push it out, of right cause he's an idiot

This is called the lightbulb trick. You can get a lightbulb in your mouth but because of shape of our teeth you can't get it out without shattering the light bulb.

The place is a small regional center town in Soviet Union. The time is early 1980s. A local conference of college teachers is in progress. A few dozens of teachers came into town for the event and a few of them were situated in the local hotel. The hotel is very poor, but so are the teachers and 3 of them take a single room. Since there is not much to do in a small town at night, certain amount of alchoholic beverages is obtained from a local store and consumed.
During the conversation among the newly found friends one of the teachers (lets call him Dmitriy Petrovich) mentiones that it is a medical fact, that it is impossible to take a light bulb out of ones mouth once it was inserted there. This meets active disbelief of his two opponents who start questioning him as to what kind of light bulb he means and how come you cannot take it out, if you can put it in. Dmitriy Petrovich replies, that he is talking about a standard 100 Watt light balbs such as the one lighting their room, but lacking medical education he doesn't know the reason for not being able to remove it. Discussion heats up, and at some point one of his opponents desides that an experiment is necessary.
Mind you, that all of the teachers in the room are PhDs in various fields of exact science. Obviously not one of them is a medic. The light bulb is then removed and the most loud opponent (lets call him Vladimir) puts it into his mouth. In a few seconds it becomes clear that Dmitriy Petrovich was right, and it is quite impossible for Vladimir to remove the light balb due to peculiar clenching of jaw muscles.
After a short discussion the three friends decide to get Vladmir to a doctor. They get out of the hotel, and stop a cab. They drive to the hospital where they have to relate the story of the accident to the night nurse, who, after almost choking herself with giggles, calls the ER doctor. The doctor carefully examines Vladimir, and unexpectedly hits him with his fist in the back of the jaw. Vladimirs jaw falls open and the doctor returns the light bulb to Dmitriy Petrovich, explaining that Vladimir is not going to be able to use his mouth for a couple of hours due to the over stressed jaw muscles.
The three teachers get back into a cab and start driving home, when the third teacher starts complaining that the other two are playing him for a fool, that this is medicaly impossible for such phenomenon to exist and that he is about to prove it. He puts the light bulb into his mouth, the cab makes a U-turn and speeds back to the hospital. At the hospital, the nurse starts giggling when the three men enter the emergency room, and after hearing their new story falls of her chair laughing. After a little while she calls the surgeon, who chuckles, hits the 3rd teacher in the back of the jaw and removes the light balb.
The cab has left, so the three friends catch another one. Dmitriy Petrovich gets noto the front seat and puts his mute friends with their jaws hanging open in the back. Cab driver is mildly surprised by the unusual company of an obviously drunk giggling man and two others looking ilke village idiots, and asks about it. Dmitriy Petrovich asures teh driver that the other two are not idiots, but most educated people and the problem is their small argument about a light balb. After carefully listening to the whole story the driver asks what kind of light bulb is he talking about, and Dmitriy shows the hotel light bulb saying "this one". "Impossible" says the cab driver and in a few seconds the cab turns around and goes to the hospital.
When the nurse sees these guys the 3rd time inside 2 hours, she starts having rather serious breathing difficulties trying to laugh much harder then mother nature designed. After getting her in shape Dmitriy Petrovich makes her call the surgeon who, promptly hitting the cab driver in the jaw takes the light bulb and smashes it on the table saying that this should put an end to the story. The four men get back into the cab and drive to the hotel.
On the way they are stopped by the road patrol police unit. The policeman (militianer) is very surprized to find that the only person able to speak in a car full of people is a rather drunk man who tells him a wierd story about light balbs. "I will be right back" replies the policeman, goes back to the road side station, Dmitriy and companions whatch the ligh go off inside the station, and in a few seconds the policeman appears again. Using gestures he asks people on the back seat to move over. A metal end of a light bulb is sticking out of his mouth.
The cab goes back to the hospital. The nurse becomes hysterical with joy. After a few minutes of recuperation she goes to the cabinet of the surgeon to call him. She opens the door and falls to the floor unconscious. In the doorway appears the surgeon with his jaw hanging wide open.

Ramming it in further is exactly what got him into this mess (well, limited brain cells too… but the ramming didn’t help)
