Stupid People Doing Stupid Things

[Quick GMC]

We all like to watch half-wits do dumb stuff, I thought we could start a thread, as long as we keep it clean.

I present the Vinegar & Baking Soda Challenge

I have no idea why someone would do this. Baking soda and vinegar makes foam like an Alka Seltzer

How STUPID do you have to be to try this? It is enough to make me wish he injured himself.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public.

This isn't the worst one. Some of these young educated folk swallowed

That can't be good..

When I was a kid, we made model rockets that used balking soda and vinegar as propellant, specifically BECAUSE they produced a gas when mixed, at significant pressure in a closed container.

We learned about it in science class, but because today's early education seems to feel that science is irrelevant (along with most of the American public) I guess it's news to morons like the one in the clip.

Here's a 6-year-old making a vinegar/ soda rocket.

This is a thread that has potential of going into thousands of posts and hundreds of pages!

anyone have an A.C. Gilbert or Lionel Chemistry set when they were a kid?

I just saw a story on TV about the latest youtube craze... kids pouring lighter fluid or nail polish remover (acetone) on themselves and lighting themselves on fire. No kidding.

The explanation from a girl who did it and got 2nd degree burns over 30% of her body: she never saw anyone who did it die from it.

The future of our country.

God help us.

Some of these clips come from a show called Outrageous acts of science. I think one of the worst one of these was a woman who tried to swallow a serving spoon full of cinnamon. After she was done, she said her lungs burned for a week. Well no kidding!!

How about the guy that jumps into the cactus on that show, now that was real stupid

I'm in a "cruel" mood at the moment...let's let Darwin thin the herd a bit. As long as innocent bystanders don't get hurt...

Oh, yea, what the heck was that all about??? You got to know that that is going to hurt!

[Thatswhatshesaid]

What did the idiot say before he died? 'Ya'll watch this!!'

[Quick GMC]

"Hold my beer"

[slusher]

Can't feel sorry for a guy who jumps in a Cactus. Does everything need a warning label...

Yeah, and even though a LARGE part of my career has consisted of UN-doing stupid stuff done by stupid people, it's still sometimes hard to look away. Kinda like watching a train wreck.

Oh, the humanity.

That's it. After seeing the cactus body slam, we need the cactuses to start providing themselves with signs and some kind barrier to protect themselves from idiot humans. They should also get insurance. Because you know someone is going blame the cactus for this and sue someday. Those evil stupid cactuses tempting kids like that.

What's next for "cactus body slamming boy"? Kissing porcupines? I suggest licking hi-power voltage lines. What harm can come from that?

A couple years back, we had some local entrepreneurs stealing copper from LIVE power lines. For a while.

Complete HALFWITS i think. The quicker they wipe themselves out the better.

[Harry P.]

Morons do these stupid stunts and post them online. Then the videos get millions of hits.

So not only do we have plenty of people who do stupid things, we have plenty of people who watch people do stupid things and consider it to be "entertainment." That's the state of our society today. Idiocy is entertainment.

Considering how much some Cacti cost, suing for damages or cost recovery wouldn't be unreasonable.

Johnny Knoxville is stuck with a catheter for the rest of his life. He's a good guy, the rest are questionable.
