For whatever reason, the title of this comic made me think he was pouring gasoline on the cigarette.

All that would do is extinguish the cigarette.

Same story with paint thinner. Matches would be extinguished when dropping them in it before the paint thinner caught on fire. I actively tried to find flammable things that day and was severely disappointed at how difficult it was to light them.

Saddest day of my pyromaniac youth.

"To find out whether this was possible, he and colleagues experimented. They dropped burning cigarettes into trays of petrol. They sprayed a fine mist of petrol at a lighted cigarette. They even used a vacuum device to produce the higher temperature (900-950C) of a cigarette being sucked. In more than 2,000 attempts the petrol did not ignite."

To be fair, dropping a cigarette into gas is different than pouring gas onto the cigarette. In one case the flame would be dumped into a liquid and immediately go out. On the other hand, pouring the gas at a slow rate would allow vapors to collect which can burn.

That's not trolling. That's pulling a practical joke.

Didn't you hear? Trolling means whatever you want it to mean now.

[–]Dreamwaltzer 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Trolling basically has devolved to "pissing people off for fun"

It is heading towards the same level as pranking, teasing and pulling tricks on people.

Intentionally derailing a thread via provocative comments.

[–]Dreamwaltzer 6 points7 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When you bait people to cause them to get angry.

Something like when you deliberately act stupid to get a reaction out of people.

Simply being an asshole, is not trolling.

Take for example this twit

He is a troll. He deliberately acts stupid with out being overly offensive. Many of his posts, you will see his victims replying him, trying to refute his points. The fact that people think he is a genuine deluded individual, shows how effective his trolling is.

This isn't trolling. This is revenge for having to put up with someone smoking around you your whole life.

Yea, but so will not wearing a seat belt, especially at such a young age (no seatbelt in the world expands to that point he is at, he clearly isn't wearing one) so what are you going to do? Judging by the awkward driving stance of the father, he doesn't seem too in tune with the road, so I'd put chances of Accident over The problems caused by second hand smoke

Shit, I feel like Buzz Killington

They're parked.

[–]IHaveToBeThatGuy 0 points1 point ago

They are stopped, it is evident because of the trail the water is making, but that's just it. Could be a stoplight or a stop sign

[–]jollybrigand 1 point2 points ago

Could be parked.

Could have been taken somewhere in Asia and the car doesn't have seat belts ever think about that? Although the car doesn't appear to be that old.

This reminds me of the time when I was about 6 years old. I was eating cereal or something and I find an apparently really nice cigar, as said by my father, so I decided "kindergarten says smoking is bad, I should throw this away so my dad doesn't die"

TL;DR Threw away my dad's expensive cigar so he wouldn't die

EDIT:Forgot to include that my dad doesn't smoke hardly ever, he isn't addicted to tobacco and smoking

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

No, I think he's fully formed.

I did worse as a kid. Once when I was like 7 or 8 my mom wanted me to go dump out her ash tray or something. I decided to splash it with some water and i left a thin layer of water in the bottom of the tray.

Soon afterwards she set her cigarette in the tray and was really pissed off at me. Hehe...

Sorry fellas this is Photoshopped. In the original photo there is no boy. Also look closely at the hand. Unless that boy has a french manicure and wears a bracelet the hand was shopped in. Ill look for the original and report back

My dad smoked when I was young, maybe 7-9 years old. I, occasionally, stole his cigarettes and destroyed them (anti-smoking ads will scare the hell out of kids). I ended up getting grounded, he thought I stole them to smoke. I think it resulted in him stopping smoking though. This kid, same thing.

I would always do this. My dad was a chronic chain smoker. Whenever I would see a lit cig I would put water on it.

I hate trolls, and Reddit is a cesspool of them. I've been a fan of Reddit for a long time, but sometimes all the trolling makes me crawl back to srs junior, somethingawful. God I love that place, you don't have all these Asian ass babies using their ninja powers to stop smoking. Second hand smoke is hardly a real issue, fucking white people, now that's a probably worth beating a honky or two with my four-hundred and thirty-six pound dildo. If I was Asian, I wouldn't even need a four-hundred pound dildo, I would just use my ninja skills to please my throbbing and sandy cunt. I'm not a fat lesbian you cracka! I'll crush you!!!!!!!!!
