WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

[–]_allFallsDown 7 points8 points ago

the exact words that I said out loud

[–]Nosfvel 13 points14 points ago

That guy is just retarded. It's very simple.

[–]sm197 14 points15 points ago

That plan might blow up in his face... Oh wait

[–]thetoethumb 26 points27 points ago

Natural selection at its' finest.

[–]BassguitarPWN3R 4 points5 points ago

Not really, I wish it worked that way! People this stupid usually make a full recovery (dammit) but smart and healthy people die young of cancer and other diseases. If the stupid people would just be stupid enough to get themselves killed, however...

[–]GoodGuyAnusDestroyer 3 points4 points ago

We could setup camps and take all the stupid people there. I'm still trying to think what we would have them do? Ideas?

[–]SConnelly53 2 points3 points ago

Die.

I just don't understand why he wouldn't point it away from him... Obviously it wasn't an accident because of the lighter placement.

[–]whoizz 3 points4 points ago

Yeah... that's a really fucking good point. He must have been wondering what it looked like and didn't realize that was a terrible idea.

[–]heyivebeenthere 6 points7 points ago

All day.... I have been browsing ALL day and this is the only thing that made my boss look at me because of my outbursting laughter. GREATLY APPRECIATED SIR.

[–]beatyour1337 13 points14 points ago

So you mean to tell me that every time you post to /r/funny you light your Face on fire?

[–]zShwagg 6 points7 points ago

Or maybe every time he lights his face on fire he posts to /r/funny

[–]wheatleyinc 5 points6 points ago

Aaaaaaaaannnnnndddd instantaneous blindness

[–]CBBlais313 2 points3 points ago

I don't know what he was expecting.

[–]xXShatter_ForceXx 2 points3 points ago

What the fuck did he think was going to happen?

[–]DrPingu76 2 points3 points ago

He likes his retinas crispy.
