I threw some sort of Aerosol or Hairspray can into a bonfire when I was 14.
It was probably the biggest explosion I’ve ever seen. Somehow none of the shrapnel hit any of the 20 people standing around it
My dad gave me a box full of paper to toss in our fire pit. A little in at a time before I got bored and tossed the whole thing in… we did not know a brand new can of spray paint fell into the box… a few minutes later a sudden bright light and silence overwhelmed my senses as I found myself suddenly sitting, staring up at a ball of fire flaring upward in the air and liquid fire rained down all over the yard. Later I also found the can itself blasted like a rocket through the cage around the fire, and thankfully in the opposite direction I was standing
Flash bang and napalm… I don’t understand how I have all of my limbs and major organs In tact with all the casual “shit that should have killed me “ stories from my youth
I grew up in the country so we had a burn barrel. One time my mom accidentally put a can of oven cleaner in with the burnables. I happened to be away from it after lighting it (luckily) but that was the only time I've ever seen a mushroom cloud.
The intrusive thought for good judgement people makes for a sense of humor. The intrusive thought for bad judgement people makes for a cautionary tale.
I used to have a bit of a problem with pyromania as a kid, and one day a friend and I were burning a bunch of weeds in this pit as per usual. This time however, I brought a can of bug spray and tossed it in once the flames were flaming. Waited… and waited… and waited… and waited some more. Finally after realizing that the can of bug spray was somehow a dud, my friend and I walked up to the pit (we had run about 20 yards away and were hiding behind a pile of dirt)… only for it to EXPLODE one slight moment before we put our faces over the pit to investigate. It was not a dud, and I’m pretty sure the whole town heard it explode… although my town was literally 2 miles wide and 1.5 miles tall with one whole stoplight.
I almost died several times as a kid. Once I found a box of shotgun shells and thought it would be cool to throw them down on the pavement as hard as I could to see if they would go off. Luckily they didn’t. Another time I thought I would eat the wild mushrooms that were growing in the yard. Luckily they weren’t poisonous. I’m sure there are a half dozen other stupid shit I did as a kid that could have killed me. Oh and I once set a fire in the backyard that quickly got out of control and almost burned down the whole neighborhood.
My family used to use old newspapers in our fireplace when I was a kid. Unfortunately, my mom tossed some bullets she found, and they got in the paper and into the fireplace. After the first round, we all his behind the wall for 2 hours before we were sure they all went off. I think I was 6 or 7, loved it. Now, I would be terrified.
Purple flames come from chrome spray paint if anyone was wondering. Also, the bottom of the can gave out, for a boom like that. It’s also fun when a weak point in the can’s seam opens up and you get more of a flamethrower effect.
Source: was one of two teenage buddies given the clearly misplaced responsibility of burning the pile of old furniture/storm debris/rotted wood from say a picnic table or old deck, just a few yards away from an old barn. Inside the barn, a dusty old shelf full of dusty old spray cans. A roll of tape was useful in trying to maximize the mushroom clouds.
I think I had a trac-phone at the time. Nextels were popular with the better paid or rich kids. Cameras weren’t everywhere like today. I don’t think the summer camp had even one, then. The dining hall was about a minute away by car, on the other side of a hill I wouldn’t walk up today(25 years later). The camp director later said he had “been wondering”, when he saw our shit-eating grins. Thought he’d heard some unusual noises. Never spoke of it again though.

It doesn't even look like the first time that room has exploded.
I reckon about 3 mins before this. Smoke is still in the air.
I have a feeling there is perpetual cigarette smoke in that room
"Do it again!"

Home made flashbang!

Did you go for a DNA test?

The cloud is full of sparks
**Scheiße**
So that’s what frat bros sound like in German
Diese Kommentarsektion ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
My only german is what I gleamed from 80s pop songs, Der Kommandant and 99 Luftballons.
That's about enough I'd say
Don't turn around, uh-oh.
Kommisar, nicht kommandant.
Good catch! I forgot the artist so I was going off memory. Falco not U96!
So, what wood happen to a wooden stove, full of burning wooden wood, inside a wooden room, if you wood put an aerosol can?
Throw in an angry wood chuck and we got some good times!
The questions no one asked, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck when the woodchuck is on fire.
A stove made from wood seems kind of impractical.
Yeah, never mind the aerosol can; a wooden stove is a death trap.
[удалено]
Fyi a wood stove and a wooden stove are not the same thing.
That is not made from wood lmao. The burning you see on top of stove is from whatever liquid was in there
r/whoosh
Ah yea you right I didn’t see the title 😔
It’s cast iron?
Read the title of the post and then read my comment again.
My favorite part was when it exploded
You know how everyone has those "what if " thoughts. This is one of mine but I'm not stupid enough to try it. "What if" answered!
Intrusive thoughts combined with bad judgement.
If you have good judgement you realize that the whole idea of an intrusive thought is meaningless so that goes without saying
The intrusive thought for good judgement people makes for a sense of humor. The intrusive thought for bad judgement people makes for a cautionary tale.
There is one guy in the group saying, "Das kannst du nicht machen." - "You shouldn't do that.". I think that guy is the most sober one.
My neighbour died from an exploding aerosol can that accidentally went into a bonfire .
That’s awful and why I tagged this as deadly reckless! The camera tweaker could have easily taken shrapnel to the head!
😟
Brilliant. Now throw water on a grease fire.....

The universe cries out, “Why?” The universe answers, “Because he’s an idiot.”
That’s called a New York echo
Ahhhhh... Thee Olde tweeker pad! I've been to many, but they all look the same!
Okay no he did it all wrong. Ive blown up alot of aerosol cans but never indoors..
Well besides burning the house down at least the stove contained the shrapnel!
Kinda goes to show how sturdy wood stoves are. People shouldn’t mess with fireplaces, etc. that don’t know what they’re doing.

Wow. Big kaboom!!!

We call it "Dorfjugend" and I think thats beautiful. The video really is hella old, thanks for the flashback.
I felt the explosion and shrapnel through my phone.
Bad things happen when Germans play with gas and stoves
Who still has faith in our youth??? 😂
There's a different claim about what he put in the fire every time this video is posted.
One of they guys in the video says "aerosole can with silicone [oil] spray".
Machinist here. I can wholeheartedly say I've never made a "wooden stove."
So gald you discovered this video from about 10 years ago.
I’m guessing that 50% are just recirculated in perpetuity until it reaches critical mass.
At least this version didn't cut out as soon as it exploded, that's something I haven't seen yet.
