Where is the video?

And thus began my 4 hour journey of watching fire fail videos on youtube.

Whenever I light my farts.....and accidentally shit

[–]corpsefireNL 2 points3 points ago

I'm pretty sure the opposite would happen, actually.

[–]ZantetsukenX 13 points14 points ago

This was a triumph...

I'm making a note here, "Huge Success".

EDIT: Thanks to MrKimimaru and MacroPhallus for the correction. Was pulling from memory and too lazy to double check. XD

HUGE success.

Can a scientist explain where he went wrong?

It seems like there's liquid in there.

He shouldve put the balloon horizontally when he lit it on fire.

[–]omfgtora 5 points6 points ago

Letting the flame get too close to the source. This would work better if he had some sort of a nozzle at the end that could handle heat.

[–]iNNeRKaoS -1 points0 points ago

Or was wearing the proper gloves, and could control the flow of the gas coming out.

<Can a scientist explain where he went wrong?>

Smoking a bowl followed by the phrase "Dude, want to see something really cool"?

[–]FlyingPasta 1 point2 points ago

Seemed like a flammable gas that was leaking out, causing a flamethrower type effect (even though flamethrowers actually use liquid). The pressure decreased, so the flame caught up with the rest of the balloon. Boom.

[–]JakR4bbit 2 points3 points ago

LPT: Balloons don't like heat.

[–]jesmo5 0 points1 point ago

If we could only get one of those balloon artists to do this whilst making said art... Now, I'd watch that!!

[–]tanu24 0 points1 point ago

As a balloon I can confirm this.

[–]Emptysquared 1 point2 points ago

And then he died.

[–]darmon 0 points1 point ago

Well that definitely gets approved.

[–]gorillastyle 0 points1 point ago

I love it how his body just goes limp at the end

[–]HannahLovesNarwhals 0 points1 point ago

Everything is science related.. Fucking everything.

[–]abledanger 0 points1 point ago

This isn't science.

[–]crazylegscowpuss 0 points1 point ago

Why are there so many videos of fire related experiments that are done indoors. How hard is it to go outside?

[–]Andro30 1 point2 points ago

fires of heaven.

[–]IHateHumans -2 points-1 points ago

That one sure blue up in his face.

[–]Xeniieeii -1 points0 points ago

Ba Dum Tsss

[–]fansbobby 0 points1 point ago

So whenever you try to do something science related, a balloon comes out of nowhere and then explodes? I'd keep less balloons around.

[–]AlwaysDefenestrated 0 points1 point ago

Wait, you aren't supposed to light the whippet on fire before you inhale it?

[–]xlordtavlumx777 -4 points-3 points ago

Good gif, but I liked it better the first time I saw it here.

[–]BitJit -3 points-2 points ago

It looked like he wanted to inhale some to breath fire, but that would be fucking stupid.

[–]MrSmithSmith -4 points-3 points ago

Oh, the bro-manity!
