Goddamn, kids are dumb.

I can't remember what comedian said it,but it went something along the lines of "kids are walking suicide machines."

The kid was dumb, now he knows and knowing is half the battle.

That's the difference between animals and man. A cat or dog will just keep doing the same dumb thing over and over. That kid won't attempt to eat another lit candle until he's drunk at a college party and someone dares him. That's probably a whole sixteen years away.

I disagree. My cat walked on the stove once, and since then he's been avoiding it at all costs.

Also, read up a bit on this man's research.

I read somewhere a long time ago that the cat will not walk on a hot stove anymore but it won't walk on a cold one either.

When I moved to my new home a couple months ago, I also got two dogs, as the dogs came with the property. They were wonderful dogs, except that they would chase cars constantly, and seriously almost get run over every time. They would weave in front of and beside the car like crazy. I would scream out of the window "YOU STUPID FUCKING DOG I COULD'VE KILLED YOU GO BACK HOME!!. I would honk the horn to scare him, or stop the car, get out and walk him home, but I couldn't break his habit. One day Russell and Peanut got separated, and peanut was found 4 miles from home, dead on a road. Russell was sad as crap, but it seems he never knew why his friend was gone, only that he was lonely. I should note here that I live in a large family, enough to keep Russell busy, but they were no replacement for Peanut. The chasing only got worse, as he would do things he wouldn't do with his friend there. One day, I get home and hear that Russell's been hit with a car-but he's alive, and with very minor injuries. That couldn't have gone any better. He walked with a limp for more than a week, but has fully recovered. He finally stopped chasing cars, and is still as playful as ever. He can still play fetch (that's right, he's remotely trainable). My point is, animals have odd mentalities, in which instincts and learned behaviour are involved at different scales for specific animals. For many dogs and for many situations, dogs need to be taught through direct personal experience, unfortunate risks and all, and have to 'touch the stove'.

Okay, I guess my real point here is that you're wrong about animals doing the same stupid thing over and over again. They don't and they (mostly) learn like us. We'd chase cars too if not for communicated knowledge that something bad could happen, and some people still do!

That's not true -- Raptors know better than to test the same section of fence twice.

[–]NiceMugOfTea 0 points1 point ago

Very true. They probably wouldn't have eaten a lit candle in the first place. Clever girl...

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK 1 point2 points ago

So I guess this means I'm the only adult that still looks at fire and thinks "Damn, I wish I could eat this somehow."...

That looks to me like the look of a mom hearing her 2 year old's hysteric cry of pain for the 15th time today.

I was once told a non-scented candle was scented, and proceeded to sniff. Closer. Clooooser. Till wooosh! Flames up my nose, smell of burning hair, feel of it crackling to cinders in my nose hallways!
My brother's a dick! ಠ_ಠ

[–]quixoticacid 16 points17 points ago

I seriously read that as some sort of hallucination. I read the 'scented candle' story and then:

feel of it crackling to cinders. hallways! My brother's dick!

WTF I need to go to bed.

Ha! Someone said this to me at work once when I foolishly opened a container that contained some kind of cleaning solvent and almost sent myself into a coma. WAFT! I don't mind being wrong, but I hate feeling dumb.

When I was about 2 or 3 I did something similar. Burned my nose.

Unfortunately it's on videotape somewhere and my parents decide to show it to almost everyone I meet.

I don't understand how this comment got downvotes while the top comment says pretty much the same thing. Reddit is so confusing. ಠ_ಠ

[–]konakonachanchan 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wait until you get Reddit enhancement suite and you learn that the posts you thought had +5 really have +105 and -100.

[–]MrFaucyPaunts 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, post/comment votes on Reddit are "fuzzed". The total score is accurate, but you can never know the exact number of upvotes-vs-downvotes.

See jedberg's comment in this thread.

[–]jogalleciez -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I notice that every day. I seriously think that half of the people of Reddit just downvote as much as they can.

There's a difference between calling someone dumb and calling them retarded.

[–]FoxHoundUnit89 -2 points-1 points ago

You don't understand the difference between "dumb" and "retarded"? You're probably one of those people who uses "gay" as a derogatory term too, aren't you? English is a beautiful language because it has so many different words that you don't have to idiotically mad lib them when you can just use the appropriate one for the situation. This child is/was dumb in this gif, but if he was actually "retarded" then he'd have attacked the candle or full on bit the flame before realizing anything was amiss.

[–]Amp3r 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

HAHA! My cat did this the first time he saw a flame. The power went out so we lit some candles. He saw the flame dancing and was like "Hey motherfucker, imma get that moving bug" He stalked up on it then tried to bite it and got really pissed off when it 'bit' him back, he knocked it over and got some wax on his paw. He didn't fuck with that kind of bug again.
