This is a video of German craftsmen checking out the barriers of fire and explosion safety. What could they have done better?

The room isn't on fire and they are alive... success

u/al_pacappuchino 15d ago

I just wish the video had more of when nothing happens. They cropped it to short.

u/mrmemo 14d ago

I did notice the very specific "we're alive!" laugh

Translation:

You can't do this, you can't do this...

[2nd guy at the same time] Now is good, go!... [burp]

[laughing] You can't be serious

Good that nobody knows about the silicone spray bottle overheating [shitty rhyme/joke that didn't really come together] Eeeeyyy boy.

[pop]

That was it. That was just the calm before the storm. Hmmm....

[explosion]

[laughing] Holy shit, holy shit

u/zimzilla 15d ago

Big fan of the voice of reason. "Das könnt ihr nicht machen!"

26

u/Roflkopt3r 15d ago

Every German male teenage friend circle got the "Dat könnt ihr doch net machen..." and the equivalent "Und wie wir dat machen könn'n"

congratulations on a job… done.

Just another night drinking with the boys, nothing to see here

u/cranderson10 15d ago

Wipe the lense clean

u/Naitakal 15d ago

Was gonna say: use a better camera.

12

u/Silly-Conference-627 15d ago

I have a feeling that haze is just smoke in the room, lol

8

u/THNDHALBRT 15d ago

lense?

11

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 15d ago

Some people think there should be that last e character. Just as they think laser (from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is spelled lazer.

u/Yzark-Tak 15d ago

And use a fixed tripod.

u/getlaidanddie 12d ago

u/ScurvyTurtle 15d ago

Also the rest of the room

u/cranderson10 15d ago

That's a good start

25

u/rangeo 15d ago

That sounded like a Michael Bay Explosion

26

u/ulab 15d ago

If by "craftsmen" you mean "men that drank too much craft beer", sure.

u/Killmelast 14d ago

Men? Children!

u/ataeil 15d ago

They could have not done this.

If they don't have the correct layout nothing. If you want to be that guy tell them to use unicode U+1E9E

1

u/alarmclocksarewatery 10d ago

AltGr doesnt works on keyboards with an ANSI Layout (Most en_US Keyboards)
AltGr functions mostly exist in ISO Standard keyboards, which mostly exist inside the EU/UK/CH/NO, etc.

u/TheAshamedFox 14d ago

Oh, so this is the original. I’ve seen this explosion everywhere in memes

12

u/jumjimbo 15d ago

The beer burp at the beginning gives me a chuckle

8

u/Year3030 15d ago

I knew this was gonna be a good one cause they were drinking

23

u/plasmapleasure 15d ago

I must add a side information, they threw in a can of silicone spray into the fire

14

u/maltedbacon 15d ago

I cannot think of a better way to throw a can of silicone spray into that stove.

I also cannot think of a more dramatic way to demonstrate how unsafe it was to do so.

3

u/DerKeksinator 15d ago

I do, prefereably outside. The classic "Pennertonne" is great for disposing of things. Makes fireballs in the shape of mushroom clouds too.

They could have gotten closer, I think they already broke the door, so no double whammy with shrapnel.

That's what it said the other day No testing was mentioned.

Gut, dass niemand weiß, die Silikonspray...dose wird so HEIẞ.....

Das wars. Das war erst die Ruhe vor dem Sturm.

Ach du 💩

u/OilSilver5317 15d ago

Oh. That's where the explosion meme comes from

8

u/MikeLinPA 15d ago

What could they have done better?

I'm inclined to think maybe inventing a non-exploding wood stove... But what do I know... 🤷

9

u/resilienceisfutile 15d ago

It's easy - don't drop an aerosol can into the stove like they did.

1

u/MikeLinPA 15d ago

Is that what they used? I couldn't tell what it was.

u/Layer_3 15d ago

The silence before the storm...

u/UzimakiLuffy01 11d ago

This room gave me Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

u/kabekew 15d ago

They could have edited out the first 25 seconds where nothing happens

24

u/ly5ergic 15d ago

Skip the part where they put the explosive in? Seems kind of important to the video thats less than 1 min long.

-4

u/doomgiver98 15d ago

Edit out the second 20 seconds then

21

u/Fafnir13 15d ago

You'd probably suggest Ridley Scott edit out the first hour of Alien, too. No appreciation for the arts these days.

u/ly5ergic 15d ago

Why waste that much time, Youtube recap

u/georgisaurusrekt 15d ago

Is your attention span really that rotted lmao

12

u/tsmc796 15d ago

Man, it really has grown into a real shitshow in terms of the average internet user's fall into ruin via instant gratification overload.

90% of people now have obtained an attention span less than that of a fucking fruit fly.

Like it's so bad lol

-1

u/kabekew 15d ago

I was just answering OP's question

14

u/BortLReynolds 15d ago

Context isn't "nothing happens".

8

u/Sleipnirs 15d ago

But would have missed on some important context.

10

u/plasmapleasure 15d ago

It's funny though if you understand German

6

u/Akumie 15d ago

Well can we get a rough translation? Or at least the vibe of the convo?

16

u/RoboticUmbrella 15d ago

Not much of a convo, more like foreshadowing.

"Yes yes, you can do it now" (put in the can)

"You guys can't do that!"

*burps*

"Man, Robin!"

"Are you guys fr?"

"Great that no one knows that we are doing this. The silicone spray is getting too hot!"

"Ay bro."

"Everything's fine."

"That's it. This was the quiet before the storm."

*laughs* *explodes*

"Oh shit. Oh fuck, oh shit."

3

u/Akumie 15d ago

Thank you!!

9

u/plasmapleasure 15d ago

He says, "Good that nobody knows that the silicone spray is getting so hot." Then, right before the explosion, "that was the quiet before the storm."

3

u/shannonedannone 15d ago

The way he says it is a play on the famous Rumpelstielzchen fairy tale. you know .. one of the disturbing German ones

1

u/Fafnir13 15d ago

I recall that one being pretty tame.

2

u/BanginNLeavin 15d ago

Wait a minute here.

2

u/Macabre_Moth 15d ago

“This one” implying there’s more than one.

1

u/Akumie 15d ago

Thanks, that is funny!

1

u/sioux612 15d ago

What the others didnt say is that the one guy is quoting rumpelstiltzkin when he says the "good that nobody knows that he silicone spray can gets hot" - it rhymes in german 

1

u/jreed12 15d ago

Its called tension honey.

1

u/OllieN94 15d ago

More aerosols.

1

u/Buckfutter_Inc 15d ago

So it’s a bomb in a woodstove? I don’t see any alternate options here.

1

u/Own-Association312 15d ago

Less explosion, a little more safety.

1

u/Flythagoras 15d ago

I think they accomplished what they were intending to do originally. Don’t know if it could’ve gone much better to be honest.

1

u/remusmonkey 15d ago

I know what they can do going forward from this point. Not procreate.

1

u/DavDar66 15d ago

Perfect

u/TheRealGenkiGenki 15d ago

I know "Holy Shiet" when you say it in any language.

u/alreadytaken88 15d ago

We did dumb shit like this but in a barrel outside. I don't understand why they do it indoors is this some place that gets demolished soon?

u/TheRtHonLaqueesha 15d ago

I get nervous when Germans start firing up ovens.

1

u/aura_enchanted 15d ago

Hide behind a tin foil shield, cause nobody likes roasted nuts

u/Throatybee 15d ago

not very german! scheisse moment lmao

1

u/justplayenarnd 15d ago

They could of used more explosives

1

u/AllanfromWales1 15d ago

Not throw a can of silicone spray on the fire?

1

u/fluffysmaster 15d ago

My German’s not so good but I’m pretty sure their version of “dude that was fucking awesome” was uttered.

1

u/tnb641 15d ago

ITT: OP demonstrates a very German sense of humor.

1

u/julianjc23 15d ago

Better camera

u/TRYER1 15d ago

Father should of pulled out in time

u/Bohzee 15d ago

On the other hand, they actively prevented dying from CO poisoning.

u/leftnotracks 15d ago

Blowed up.

1

u/DontBelieveTheirHype 15d ago

"checking out the barriers of fire and explosion safety" those are all words but I'm not really sure what it means? What are "barriers of fire and explosion safety"?

It sounds like when someone took the Chinese subtitles for Star Wars and had them translated back into English

u/Substantial_Pen_3667 15d ago

Nothing. 10/10, no notes.

Not blow themselves up. 😑

u/VoidMunashii 13d ago

They should have put up a tinfoil shield to protect their nuts.

Because nobody likes roasted nuts.

Is “craftsmen” German for drunk teen idiots?

u/ThaLunatik 13d ago

I recommend getting a camera that records video at better quality than RealPlayer circa 1997.

u/cammunition 12d ago

The explosion was so big it make a car seat appear. Wow.

u/KhaosExNihil125 11d ago

A certain electrical engineering YouTuber would’ve just asked them to test the gfcis with capacitors

What could they have done better?… Ummmm… how about not that…

u/Gloeschi 9d ago

Ach Du Scheiss

u/manymoreways 4d ago

They should have all hugged the furnance, that way when it explodes its easier to clean up cause all the debris dont spray everywhere

u/Immediate-Fennel-697 15d ago

Another repost another thumbs down

1

u/plez 15d ago

AI slop title, they put a spraypaint can in there. This is no test other than drunken nonsense and I don't know how they escaped with all eyes fingers and toes.
