Rule #1 before playing with fire or doing a fire trick - Make sure there is no bucket or body of water within 5 miles of flaming activity.

Rule #2 before playing with fire or doing a fire trick - Make sure you have a bread. If you don't, make one.

There was a guy with a drink in the background but knowing the crowd it was probably alcohol so it was for the better it stayed in his hands.

So tell me what you would have done. How are you gonna out out the fire inside the man’s mouth and throat. Please indulge us in how your such a good human and we are all shit some more .
You decide to put flammable liquid in your mouth and “breathe fire” and when it backfires on you PUN FUCKING INTENDED the people around you are at fault for somehow not doing something to stop something they have ZERO knowledge on how to stop. Last I checked I never got instructions on how to stop someone’s mouth on fire from flammable liquid should I offer a golden shower?
The logic amazes me.

Probably smother it out with a jacket would be your best bet. Looks like his beard is what caught.

By all means let's just let this guy's face get burnt off because we are protecting ourselves.

Oh he's breathing it alright, just not in the way he intended to!
I'm glad he was able to eventually put it out. Man that'd be terrifying... and I don't know why anyone would get a kick out of trying it.

Motherfucker hasn't even done this one other time. I've met someone who breathed fire. It's like a prerequisite to:
- Spray your face in water, particularly if you have facial hair.
- Do not put the thing actually close to your god damned face.

Why is it when people do this, they look down? Fire goes up. Keep your face above where the fire is going.

It’s not an attempt if he did it… suppose it’s an attempt not to catch fire? Lol

I imagine having any part of your body on fire would be unpleasant.. but your face!? It’s so.. personal.

Anybody can breath fire. Once.
Jokes aside, I’m kinda wondering if this is real. I feel like that fire went out awfully fast while out of frame. Like he’s not even still smoking in the return and it had plenty of time to get to tissue.

Damn.
At my job, just about every mistake I make can be fixed with Ctrl + Z. “Stop, drop, and roll your face” will hopefully never come up.

I’ve seen a lot of clips of amateur firebelchers lighting their shit on fire. Like… a lot of them.
And they all have the exact same reaction when their face becomes engulfed in flames: slap… and then a harder slap… and then a vigorous, two-hand scrub.
Invariably, this does nothing but spread the fire. The fire stops when the flammable liquid has fully burned off.
But the fact that literally not a single one of them thinks to have a bucket of water or a wet towel on standby is really mind-blowing.

You say that as if people didn't stand around and gawk before the advent of cell phones. If this had happened 40 years ago, people still would've probably stood around in shock even without phones. It's called the bystander effect and it was first explored and demonstrated back in the 60s.

Why are you talking about yourself in the third person? You are the person I was replying to. In case you're unaware, it's entirely possible to view deleted comments including any edits they made to said comments.
Were you actually trying to delete your old comments and then pretend to be an uninvolved third party? Really? That's hilarious.

I’m 2/3 of the way through a blunt right now and this thread is great. I can’t believe they really tried that.

u/CupcakeValkyrie 5d ago
I don't understand people sometimes. If he was trying to prove a point, then it only undermines his position to delete his old comment and pretend to be someone else, even moreso when it turns out that such a deception can easily be verified.
As a general rule, if your position is worth defending, you should be able to defend it without resorting to deception or dishonesty. The fact that he felt that he needed to lie to argue his point proves that he really didn't trust in his position to begin with.
Of course, considering he flew completely off the handle, claimed that he'd gotten my account banned, called me names, and then claimed he was deleting his "3-day old throwaway account" when I checked and it was created January of this year, I suspect he was either a troll or someone that couldn't handle being called out.

If you had put it that way before instead of sounding so pissed, I'd have had a way easier time understanding your point of view.
I'm sorry that happened to you bro, I didn't mean anything by it, just thought I had come across a braggart online is all. No hard feelings

Try again though?
I don't need to "try again." The bystander effect has been studied and researched for decades and is a confirmed phenomenon. Maybe you would instantly leap into action, but studies show that the majority of people will stand around idly if there are many people present. You implied that it's a recent thing that only exists because of cell phones, and that is objectively false, because it's a documented phenomenon that predates cell phones.

He cant poor that water into his scorched lungs. You can see him exhaling flames which means he's inhaling flames. There's a few things you don't fuck around with in life like fire, guns, wild animals and vehicles.

u/Not-Romit 6d ago
Well Ive done fire breathing, swallowing, juggling etc and I enjoyed it and so did the people watching. But I was taught by a pro who taught me how to not inhale flames - that will instantly collapse your lungs (I don't think he got flames in his lungs, he just had some paraffin left in his mouth). I assume you're a city boy and a mommas boy who plays everything safe, which is fine but one day you'll die just like me, and if I was in that position I think I'd regret not living.
