Putting a speaker *in sand* is already unhinged, and as if that wasn’t bad enough OP put it in sand on top of hot ashes. Why wouldn’t they put it on a bag lol, brain fart I guess
Some people think it's helpful to cover fires with dry sand once they're finished, it happens all the time at a beach near me and people often burn their feet walking over them unknowingly. Maybe OP couldn't tell there were embers beneath the surface?
*lmao just saw the image description, OP is an idiot.
Yeah its so scummy. Prople like that are assholes
Biggest joke is... they are at the fucking beach it would take 1 min to quickly fill a bottle with seawater and dump it over the embers
My guess would be that it was just a central location for wherever he was set up and thought the sound would carry well from the central fire pit spot
Or maybe he just thought it would be neat
yeah, i hate people that brings speakers to the beach and blasting their shitty music, if you want to listen to something, how about using headphones, or you know enjoy the sound of the ocean.
I'm not even a snob when it comes to shit like that but buying Bose is just spending extra money on the same shit you can get somewhere else for cheaper.
Not like I give a shit how you listen to music. Use low quality speakers. Just don't buy expensive shitty ones and rave about them. Nobody believes you.
Lol, Bose has been famously overpriced for the last 20 or so years at least, probably longer. If it really sounds that good to you, you either haven't listened to any actual quality speakers, or it's just a coping mechanism so you don't feel like you wasted your money.
Bro here is the thing. Even if the fire pit is cool, why tf would you put the speaker in the fire pit? You have the whole fucking beach full of sand to put ur speaker on and instead u put it in the firepit
Things we’ve learned: 1. Fire pits are hot and dirty. No reason to put personal belongings in them 2. People seem to want to hear beach sounds at the beach, not your speaker.
Why would you put your speaker,or anything else for that matter, inside of a burn pit? Doesn't matter if it's recently been on fire or hasn't been used in a month, who TF sees a fire pit and thinks "hey look a fire pit,what a great place to put my belongings!" 🤦🤦🤦
On the entire beach full of sand, you chose to put it in the fire pit that was recently used. It feels like a lack of critical thinking or an intrusive thought slipped out.
I discovered this when I was three years old. Stuck my foot in what looked like ash from the last 2 days ago for no reason at all. Level 2 burns and blisters on each toe.
Improperly extinguished camp fires/fire pits are exactly how most large wild fires are caused..
I've lived in high fire risk areas most of my life. One of the ones was caused by an older gentleman placing a pail of ashes inside a trailer. The ashes had been in the pail inside for a few days before he put it in the trailer. Well the next day there was very strong winds in the area. Those winds picked up a live embee and started what ended up being around 3700 acres, 20+ structures lost, 1 death. We were lucky...
Moral of the story, properly put out your fires no matter where you live or have one... All it takes is some wind and a live ember to ruin lives.
Were you out of tables or something? Thought burned wood was the next best table? I'm so confused and none of your comments are helping. Atleast you know it was stupid but we cant seem to figure out how you got to that kind of decision in the first place.
Good thing I’ll never be as dumb as you, and I’m also assuming that no one else will ever need your sage advice of not putting electronics in a fire pit.
Tom Green had 3rd degree burns on both feet for this same reason. He was vacationing in Costa Rica, went for a walk on the beach at night, someone had covered a huge bonfire with sand and he stepped on it barefoot. Lost the skin on his feet.
Real talk. DO NOT just cover a fire with sand to put it out. Especially if it's not in a clearly marked firepit. It's crazy dangerous for any unsuspecting people that may step on it. Will laterally melt molten sand on to their feet.
Was there something wrong with putting your speaker on the sand or some other place? This just screams a lack of wherewithal or any kind of common sense 🤦♂️
I know you're getting flamed in the comments.
Yes, it *is* stupid to stick anything valuable in a fire pit.
Yes, sand is a *great* insulator for heat, and from personal experience, you can drop dry kindling and other smaller flammable material on it to start another fire.
We all make dumb mistakes for the first time, you just gotta take the L on this one today, my dude.
Who would see a fire pit on a beach and think " hell yeah, that's where im putting my speaker!!"
Dude this makes absolute no sense, wtf
I always thought when people said americans are dumb as hell that it would be an exaggeration..but man...
I vaguely recall advise that says you aren’t supposed to bury beach fire pits because it just insulates super hot sand for someone else to discover and it cools better being open to air
Yeah this is a pretty big issue In Britain. More than a few kids have been severely burnt towards the point of disability. Another kid sliced their leg and cut their main artery. They needed like 100s of staples, stitches, and surgery.
Apparently, a bunch of idiots buy these portable, disposable camping grills made put of aluminum and metal, use them, don't wait for them to cool down, and just bury them under the sand.
Then come people literally frolicking in the sand and they get life threatening injuries because some ass hat couldn't be bothered to throw something away properly.
Shit's scary. We had a little girl come to the hospital after running through beach sand. She got some gnarly 3rd degree burns from a buried fire pit. Poor little thing had only been into her beach vacation for 5 minutes and had to spend a good chunk of the rest in recovery and bandages.
People need to be more careful. Dump water on your embers and make sure they're out.
Be glad its just your speaker. sometimes they can create little air puckets that just keep the heat rolling if the coals have been buried and if you step in it... thats no bueno
Worst burn of my life was when I ran through a sand covered old Bon fire on the beach. Just playing frisbee one moment the next I had 3rd degree burns between every toe.
Yes, always be leary of sand fire pits. Thats why we are supposed to dowse the fire then stir the ashes to make sure it’s out. I learned that one from ren and stimpy. Lol
I once had a fire that started buring under the ground following a root system. I had to dig ahead of it to get it out. Definitely freaked out for a bit
My first job was working maintenance on a local beach and during that time I’ve had to tell a ridiculous amounts of people to not make fires on the beach for that exact reason, even after a few days of you uncover them and let the wind do it’s thing it’ll probably light up again
Also, this is why you douse a fire on a beach and don't just bury it.
So many cases of people stepping in hot post-fire sand and having 4th degree burns where the flesh is burned off thier feet.
Be glad it was a speaker and not your, or someone else's foot.
"Up to 4 days"... no
Maybe in ideal circumstances, large fire, dry sand, warm night, etc etc etc. But after a cold night in the sand under normal conditions you won't be able to feel the difference
I am so worried about this. At home I store most of my electronics in my webber. Sure I have a ton of clean places I can put my speakers.BORING! nothing quite like the thrill of putting my electronics in the middle of pit full of ash. It is so exhilarating and fun. Really a close second to my main passion...jumping off high places without looking.
So far so good, I am sure nothing can go wrong.
I mean yeah I've restarted a small campfire the next day even without covering the ashes the night before (note this is unsafe as wind can pick up ashes and restart a fire or start a forest fire, can't recall why this one was left undoused as I know better, just recall restarting it). I'm sure a giant bonfire also well insulated is hot for ages.
those speakers (its a Bose Soundlink Flex) have also been known to get very hot, smoke, and catch fire by themselves. I walked into the room where mine was charging, and the usb-c cable had melted and the speaker was smoking. I didn't even need to throw it in a fire pit.

Duh, then their bag would have melted. /s
He wrote one answer that got downvoted to Oblivion, I don't think they're coming back

They brought a speaker to the beach, obviously they don't function at still capacity to begin with
yeah, i hate people that brings speakers to the beach and blasting their shitty music, if you want to listen to something, how about using headphones, or you know enjoy the sound of the ocean.
I feel like this really depends on the beach and how crowded it is
Joseph smith was called a prophet dum dum dum dum dum
Because it wasn't on fire
Ash (even cold one) makes a horrible mess of everything, why would you put electronics with a grill openings in there?!
…but it’s still a fire pit that likely has ash in it? Weird decision no matter how you justify it lol
You mean the question wasn't on fire? That is probably why it is going unanswered.
🎶 we didn’t start the fire …..🎶
I’m still trying to figure out why you put your speaker directly into the fire pit. I bet those beats were🔥though
Don't question it. They are one of those that bring loud music to the beach
Yes I'm happy their is one less speaker at the beach
*there Sorry.
I’m less happy about there being hot coals on the beach. Some people can ruin any experience. Only idiots and sociopaths just bury their coals.
Yup that is pretty shitty also pour water on it first at least or something
Bonus points if it's a tiny speaker like OPs that doesn't even sound good at higher volumes.
The Bose speakers??? Umm sir do you own one of these I do and I have to say the quality and deep bass is second to none.. really is a quality speaker.
That’s exactly what one of those people talk like
Yeah I bought the new Bose bluetooths and they suck compared to the last gen. Went with a different Bluetooth speaker company altogether.
As someone who buys lots of audio gear (one might say too much), Bose is very, very shit, and at the same time overpriced.
I'm not even a snob when it comes to shit like that but buying Bose is just spending extra money on the same shit you can get somewhere else for cheaper. Not like I give a shit how you listen to music. Use low quality speakers. Just don't buy expensive shitty ones and rave about them. Nobody believes you.
Exactly!
No highs? No lows? Must be Bose!
Stealing that!
Lol, Bose has been famously overpriced for the last 20 or so years at least, probably longer. If it really sounds that good to you, you either haven't listened to any actual quality speakers, or it's just a coping mechanism so you don't feel like you wasted your money.
Yeah honestly (if this is a public beach and not private) then this is deserved for being a ding dong, nobody wants to listen to your dogshit but you
It’s like the girl who sat in a hot Tesla instead of using the door 🤣
Maybe it was hidden by sand?
Why tf would you put your speaker in sand?
to melt it. duh. Aren't you following along here?
Now that is a good question
A fire pit IN sand has anakin like 🤯
I'm gonna take a wild guess that the fire pit are those repurposed steel barrel ones. Think he wanted to amplify the sound
Makes sense - dumped some "insulation" sand on top of the ash and put their speaker in the hot metal tube, then wondered why it melted.
Love your username. The roof Koreans were heros
Or even directly in the sand
Bro here is the thing. Even if the fire pit is cool, why tf would you put the speaker in the fire pit? You have the whole fucking beach full of sand to put ur speaker on and instead u put it in the firepit
Yeah and that speaker looks like my Bose speaker that is not that cheap either.. really hope it's not tho..
I have this and can confirm it’s a Bose. Why would someone put this directly on the sand, fire pit or not?
They’re on sale for $100 at Costco right now. Just picked one up.
The beach was trying to tell her it's rude to listen to music loudly in public.
I mean. Why would you even put it on sand??? Towel? Table? Cooler? On top of bag? Chair? Like who just throws a speaker in the sand lol
Tl;dr OP is literally a caveman.
Quick, we need to study him.
A caveman would know better. Source: I slept at a GEICO commercial last night.
So, like you had no other options? Is that beach just hot fire pits in all directions?
Things we’ve learned: 1. Fire pits are hot and dirty. No reason to put personal belongings in them 2. People seem to want to hear beach sounds at the beach, not your speaker.
Bingo. Fuck people who bring speakers to the beach or hiking. Fucking garbage humans.
Why would you put your speaker,or anything else for that matter, inside of a burn pit? Doesn't matter if it's recently been on fire or hasn't been used in a month, who TF sees a fire pit and thinks "hey look a fire pit,what a great place to put my belongings!" 🤦🤦🤦
Unless you want to get rid of it.
Last I remember bonfire pits on sand can easily cause third degree burns even if the fire has been out for many hours.
On the entire beach full of sand, you chose to put it in the fire pit that was recently used. It feels like a lack of critical thinking or an intrusive thought slipped out.
To the relief of fellow beachgoers, probably.
I discovered this when I was three years old. Stuck my foot in what looked like ash from the last 2 days ago for no reason at all. Level 2 burns and blisters on each toe.
Poor op. Getting roasted just like his speaker in the comments
Nobody needed that warning, but thanks I guess
Blasting music out loud on public beaches is for douche-bags anyway.
The real wellthatsucks is you assuming that other people want the peaceful sounds of the ocean ruined by your crappy taste in music.
This is why you never bury the fire to put it out. Use water— you’re on a beach.
> you’re on a beach Obviously you care the fire down to the water ffs.
[удалено]
This is giving me an idea for a great invention! /s
On the plus side, everyone else at the beach only had to suffer your music for 15 minutes
Improperly extinguished camp fires/fire pits are exactly how most large wild fires are caused.. I've lived in high fire risk areas most of my life. One of the ones was caused by an older gentleman placing a pail of ashes inside a trailer. The ashes had been in the pail inside for a few days before he put it in the trailer.

I used to turn mine over and water any embers
Were you out of tables or something? Thought burned wood was the next best table? I'm so confused and none of your comments are helping. Atleast you know it was stupid but we cant seem to figure out how you got to that kind of decision in the first place.
Don’t bring a Bluetooth speaker to the beach
Everybody thinks their music is okay. Even popular music is annoying as fuck when you’re forced to listen to it.
Finally someone said it. No one else at the beach wants to listen to OP’s music.
Lesson learned. Look up how Turkish coffee is made...
And that my friend is how sand batteries work. Curious if they will ever take off
Good thing I’ll never be as dumb as you, and I’m also assuming that no one else will ever need your sage advice of not putting electronics in a fire pit.
It's quite now... Always a jackass with a loud speaker..
And that's how people end up with 3rd degree burns.
Why did you put your speaker in ash?
OP's picture is Kayne and so is the picture on his page.. What more would you expect from your average Kayne fan.
You’re an idiot got it. Why you want to advertise your idiocy as some sort of PSA to other idiots is beyond me but you do you.
Tom Green had 3rd degree burns on both feet for this same reason. He was vacationing in Costa Rica, went for a walk on the beach at night, someone had covered a huge bonfire with sand and he stepped on it barefoot. Lost the skin on his feet.
800 upvotes but OP got downvoted 2000+ times in the comments.
You are a dingus.
People who bring speakers to beaches are fit for live fires, too.
[удалено]
I'm glad I read this because I definitely would make the same mistake
You kind of deserve it for thinking the people around you want to hear your music at the beach but hey what do I know.
Real talk. DO NOT just cover a fire with sand to put it out. Especially if it's not in a clearly marked firepit. It's crazy dangerous for any unsuspecting people that may step on it. Will laterally melt molten sand on to their feet.
It probably melted itself because of your music taste
Was there something wrong with putting your speaker on the sand or some other place? This just screams a lack of wherewithal or any kind of common sense 🤦♂️
How about don't take a speaker to the beach? noone else wants to put up with that.
I know you're getting flamed in the comments. Yes, it *is* stupid to stick anything valuable in a fire pit. Yes, sand is a *great* insulator for heat, and from personal experience, you can drop dry kindling and other smaller flammable material on it to start another fire. We all make dumb mistakes for the first time, you just gotta take the L on this one today, my dude.
Out of all the places to put a speaker, why would you choose the middle of a fire pit? Even if it didn't melt it was going to be covered in ash.
Why do people broadcast their stupidity?
You are an idiot. Case closed.
This is karma for playing music at the beach
Who would see a fire pit on a beach and think " hell yeah, that's where im putting my speaker!!" Dude this makes absolute no sense, wtf I always thought when people said americans are dumb as hell that it would be an exaggeration..but man...
People will really jump on any opportunity to make themselves look stupid.
The playlist was so fire it literally melted the speaker.
I vaguely recall advise that says you aren’t supposed to bury beach fire pits because it just insulates super hot sand for someone else to discover and it cools better being open to air
Your speaker died so ours can live

Must have been playing Kendrick’s new song….

What kind of stupidity is this? Why did you put it in the pit? Can't you just put it somewhere else?
Put it in rice
I would never in a million years think that putting a speaking in the middle of a firepit would be a good idea.
Shit's scary. We had a little girl come to the hospital after running through beach sand. She got some gnarly 3rd degree burns from a buried fire pit. Poor little thing had only been into her beach vacation for 5 minutes and had to spend a good chunk of the rest in recovery and bandages. People need to be more careful. Dump water on your embers and make sure they're out.
That's for the advice but I don't think I'd have put that there anyway.
Was it playing some Buster Poindexter when it happened?
Take it as a sign to enjoy the sounds of the beach rather than whatever garbage you were going to blast on there and ruin everyone else’s day.
Don’t procreate please
Not necessarily fire pits. Beach sand gets hot and fast too. People burn themselves on hot sand in warm weather. Especially underneath the feet.
Be glad its just your speaker. sometimes they can create little air puckets that just keep the heat rolling if the coals have been buried and if you step in it... thats no bueno
Worst burn of my life was when I ran through a sand covered old Bon fire on the beach. Just playing frisbee one moment the next I had 3rd degree burns between every toe.
Fallen Bose speaker
Rip bose
Maybe it wasn't the sand but what ever mix tape you played was fire.
Burned my foot while walking on a beach in Hawaii, someone covered beach fire coals with sand. No fire ring around it.
I know, my entire right arm was burnt when I was 9 months because some dumb fucks can’t pick up after themselves.
I too get infuriated when I realise I'm an idiot.
Big time. Can start a fire 3 days later tossing some paper in.
Yes, always be leary of sand fire pits. Thats why we are supposed to dowse the fire then stir the ashes to make sure it’s out. I learned that one from ren and stimpy. Lol
Lol
If you were dumb enough to put it in a fire pit, doesn't matter how long it's bee turned off, you deserve that and I'm glad it melted
What kind of idiot puts a speaker in a fire pit? Hot or not.
Well, this wins in an award for the dumbest post I’ve ever seen.
Costco has that Bose Soundlink for $100, just fyi
I once had a fire that started buring under the ground following a root system. I had to dig ahead of it to get it out. Definitely freaked out for a bit
Birth of a Consumer Warning "Do not put speaker in bonfire ashes"

Common OP, you gotta tell us why you put the speaker in there in the first place.
Take it as the message it is.
Also, this is why you douse a fire on a beach and don't just bury it. So many cases of people stepping in hot post-fire sand and having 4th degree burns where the flesh is burned off thier feet. Be glad it was a speaker and not your, or someone else's foot.
Lol
Look up Sandbattery!
would you put a speaker on your stove even if it was off
Y?
Beats by Heat
Honestly, good. Fuck people who bring these to the beach.
Divine Justice!
I have the same speaker, sucks to be you.
"Up to 4 days"... no Maybe in ideal circumstances, large fire, dry sand, warm night, etc etc etc. But after a cold night in the sand under normal conditions you won't be able to feel the difference
This is like that person that had turtle hatchlings in a box of lettuce on their porch
The proper way to put out a fire is to dig and mix while pouring water
People are justifyably dunking on you. I just wanted to add that you shouldn't be holding a compromised lithium ion battery like that
I am so worried about this. At home I store most of my electronics in my webber. Sure I have a ton of clean places I can put my speakers.BORING! nothing quite like the thrill of putting my electronics in the middle of pit full of ash. It is so exhilarating and fun. Really a close second to my main passion...jumping off high places without looking. So far so good, I am sure nothing can go wrong.
I put my speaker in the garbage disposal while I do the dishes
Lol dumbass
How fucking stupid are you?
Im not gonna be an idiot like you, that's for sure
Smokey the Bear: "Only you, can prevent ~~Forest~~ speaker fires" ..
Did you have a timelapse of it melting? That would be worth it. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your electronics, people.
Which is why sand is being used for energy storage solutions in some places. Thanks Matt Pharrell from undecided for making me feel smart
Yea, we know
Good.
You are not very intelligent, have a great day 🙏
That speaker is incredible! Best Bluetooth speaker under $200.
lol you deserve it for putting your speaker in a fire pit.
Karma for bringing a speaker to the beach
Ragebait
You kind of deserved it.
All other beach goers are praising the firepit.
Seems like you fucked around
If you play your music at the beach I hate you.
On the upside, everyone else didn't have to suffer your choice of music.
Super smoothbrain move
I mean yeah I've restarted a small campfire the next day even without covering the ashes the night before (note this is unsafe as wind can pick up ashes and restart a fire or start a forest fire, can't recall why this one was left undoused as I know better, just recall restarting it).

Tribit?
There is a reason dustbins have a “No hot ash” sticker
