American idiots try to commit arson for viral fame. |
- Women of color.
- Children of color.
- Black men being killed by law enforcement.
- The racial-motivated campaigns against Barack and Michelle Obama.
- The rise of white extremism in the United States.
- Donald Trump and his idiotic presidency.
- Issues that face our community (i.e. food deserts, gerrymandering poverty, gun violence, gentrification, etc.)
- The actions of inept leadership in Congress.
- The actions of those in the entertainment industry.
- You can't fix stupid stories.
- You can't change a person's mind stories.
- How to ignore trolls.
Well, firefighters have said that some of these challenges are extremely dangerous.
Let's find out why TikTok is so popular. The Chinese-themed social media app has become very popular with young folks. They are recording themselves doing challenges for viral fame.
Hey, let's put a coin inside the prongs of a phone charger!
Well folks in Massachusetts are warning folks against this "dangerous" viral trend where teens are deliberately placing pennies behind iPhone charges and scorching classrooms.
According to a teacher, two students plugged phone charges into outlets and dropped a penny between the charge and the outlet, resulting in sparks and smoke.
"It's almost like an explosion. The electricity propels the charger and the coin -- the coin is molten metal at this point -- outwards," said Plymouth Fire Chief Edward Bradley to the junk food media.
Smart, viral arsonists.
The fire chief added, "It doesn't take much to be electrocuted fatally. Just by an outlet in a wall socket."
The penny melted inside the charger. Someone attempted to place a penny inside the charger. |
The prank could cause thousands of dollars in damage.
Those involved could face criminal charges for vandalism and arson if they attempt to do this "viral challenge" at a public place or private facility.
"We have had two incidents in Massachusetts that we are aware of: one in Holden where a concern mother sent a photo of a scorched outlet and one at a Westford High School, which the Department of Fire Services investigated," the state fire marshal wrote.
You can't fix stupid!
Reminder:You can't fix stupid. You keep electing stupid. The whole world is stupid. We watch stupid. We are living with stupid. We work with stupid. We continue to embrace stupid.
Again, why would you want to risk your reputation, your job, your health, your freedom, your finances and your life for click bait?
Rules are made for a reason. Rules are there for the safety of yourself and others.
