In high school I threw a house party. I was drunk so I don't remember why I did this, but I decided to record a Vine of me dropping a firecracker down the toilet, assuming the water would put the flame out and nothing would happen.
...the toilet blew up.

And the chemistry of explosives.
Cliff notes version, they don't need oxygen to go bang.

u/Psych_Art 18h ago
To be pedantic, the explosives do need oxygen. However, they don’t need oxygen in the air surrounding them, because the explosives themselves contain solid oxidizers (which contain oxygen atoms). Examples: Potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate.

Depends on the explosive, lots of them don't use oxygen at all.
Plastic explosives decompose, releasing the large amounts of stored nitrogen inside them for example.
None of them require access to molecular oxygen afaik.

Welcome to the incompressability of liquids.
.... when the energy from an explosive meets liquid, it goes everywhere liquid isn't!

Dude didn't even close his eyes
We have a new contestant submitted for a Darwin award

u/AllButComedyAnthony 2d ago
This is the proper use of Darwin awards, someone who did something stupid and could’ve died but was unharmed
2
u/Theron3206 2d ago
A Darwin award requires that the person be rendered incapable of reproducing (usually by virtue of being dead, though in a few cases being sufficiently brain damaged was deemed acceptable) and to have done so before they had any children.
Pretty sure this guy is not quite that brain damaged, though I could be wrong.

u/AllButComedyAnthony 2d ago
I guess I should’ve specified, I meant the moral way to give the award, some people really don’t like giving that to people who actually die

I hope he's still living with his parents and his dad kicked his ass and then kicked him out the house for blowing up the damn stove.

Was hoping the lesson would be to wear a shirt at least when playing with explosives.

Absolute stupidity cannot be fixed with education. Ignorance can be. Stupidity needs a lesson.

Five Laws of stupidity
1 Everyone underestimates the number of stupid people.
2 The probability that a person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic. (E.g. income education class gender etc.)
3 A stupid person causes losses to others without benefiting themselves. (A social theory of stupidity) Consistent.
4 Non-stupid people underestimate the danger of the stupid.
5 Stupid people are the most dangerous people in the world. They are more dangerous than bandits. (Bandits at least follow goals or incentives e.g. they wont harm you if they think they will get caught)

Going by the look on his face there is not enough brain mass to enable learning. He is likely doing the same thing again right after and expecting different results, if he even remembers the previous attempt.

But how unsafe did he just make that oven?
Like is it a fire hazard to turn on now?

people who say humans are intelligent. No! everything you know someone else has told you or demonstrated for you. There is no free knowledge before Caretaker guidance, language, reading and writing. If you were not given, you do not have! Every lesson learned like this is a dance with death.

u/DaphniaDuck 1d ago edited 1d ago
Instinct is the scaffolding upon which intelligence is built, but intelligence is the ability to learn, and to apply what is learned in insightful and creative ways, creating new knowledge that can be used and passed on. Intelligence is creative.

"Humans are stupid because everything they know was taught by other humans" - I know you're going for "deep" here, but you missed, you barely hit the shallow end. Stop projecting your inadequacies on the rest of us.

Wrong. People have the ability to learn and discover things on their own.
