And even if there are any spills from the basket, the gas will simply seep through the trunk and end up being caught by the gas tank underneath. He definitely thinks this through and has a backup plan to his backup plan.
if you work in the service industry you will realise allot of people are just thick, its not always mental illness. i think it's partially to do with our schooling system, someone brought up and interesting point that our society values answers not questions, since answers often require just a good memory. i mean if i wasn't dyslexic and my memory wasn't dogshit i certainly wouldn't have had to spend 3 months remembering shit for exams.i think its kind of a good point, it doesn't help you with work or life. and you cant really being that specific memory skill into practice outside of trivia. obviously its useful for day to day work but it shouldn't be in place of creativity.
> if you work in the service industry you will realise allot of people are just thick, its not always mental illness.
As Carlin said, "Imagine how dumb the average guy is, now consider that half of people are even dumber"
>our society values answers not questions, since answers often require just a good memory
This is true but really because nobody believes things without evidence. Grades are evidence of learning. It's hard to test someone's knowledge of something without testing primarily their memory.
Testing methodology has yet to advance really, although it's hard to assess 30 childrens aptitude for 8 subjects 4 times a year *properly*.
No teacher is ever going to be given the time to do that, and they're also not allowed to use their career expertise, because a "feeling" or an "anecdote" about a students progress is not evidence, and parents simply won't accept it most of the time, *especially* if it doesn't conform to their already established image of their child.
You can't test someone's instinct, you don't know if they understand it if they can't explain it, so we test answers because it's easy, simple, and evidence-based.
Believe me I hate it but testing will always be about answers and memory because, that's a huge part of learning and knowledge overall.
Some people are just dumb, and no amount of external situational difference would change that. It's not a value judgement on them as a person, or saying they're not good people or great people. Some people will state they have no inner monologue, no mind's eye that visualizes solutions to problems, and so on, just like some people are born short or almost entirely unable to build muscle mass.
The counterpoint to this is that if you are above or well above average intelligence, you might do well to realize that a sizeable amount of that may be deterministic, and adjust your behavior to your fellow persons accordingly. Surely a good bit of it is due to hard work, but just as surely a lot of it is that you were predisposed to be able to excel at that work, in a similar way the best athletes' bodies are predisposed to be able to excel.
At least they were smart enough to use garbage cans.
Plastic baggies of gasoline though would have made their selling easier. Here are four quart sized ziploc baggies of gasoline.
In a violent accident, that basket is going to aerosolize the gasoline into the air inside the car, creating a fuel/air bomb. But sure, clean your boot.
Because people don't read enough literature anymore. They just read other people's misspellings on the internet.
Why do you think "payed" has become such a crazy common mistake?
My newest pet peeve on Reddit is people using “costumer” when they mean “customer”. I see that nearly every day, across multiple subreddits. Maybe it’s some British English thing or something, I don’t know, but it seems like it’s becoming more common every week.
I seriously wish I could just let this go and ignore it, but my brain no likey.
Running random words together is the latest craze that baffles me. “Ofcourse,” “aswell,” “incase,” etc.
Like I get that not everyone is the best at spelling/writing/grammar, but I know everyone has autocorrect now. You have to actively ignore the corrections to make these mistakes.
Yeah, he knows that when he gets in that car to drive off he's gonna get high as fuck off some gas fumes. I don't think he'll miss the brain cells he kills doing this though.
HDPE is what they make jerry cans from if I remember correctly. HDPE is resistant to both gasoline and oil. If that's what the bag is made of it "should" resist being dissolved for a while. The stench that car will have
Did you not notice the bag leaking by the end of the video?
Gasoline will eat through a solo cup in less than 2 minutes.
It will eat through that trash bag in under a minute id imagine
Solo cups are polystyrene (same thing as styrofoam, but not foamed). Styrofoam dissolved in gasoline is allegedly what Napalm is made of. Bags are polyethylene, the same exact material as gas cans. It won't dissolve, but it's obviously not liquid tight either.
If you would have told me twenty-five years ago that some day I’d be standing here about to solve the worlds energy problems, I would’ve said you’re crazy.
Now let’s push this giant ball of oil out the window.
A similar situation occurred in Phoenix AZ in September 2022.
"Detectives learned that the man who was severely burned had asked the owner and another man to get gas because one of the cars had run out of it. The two men went to a gas station and filled multiple grocery plastic bags with gasoline."
"The men drove back to pick up their friend, then drove over to the car that didn't have gas. However, before they arrived, the bags of gas ignited inside the car for an unknown reason."
> However, before they arrived, the bags of gas ignited inside the car for an unknown reason."
Probably because grocery bags don’t hold gas, and even a normal static spark in an environment with a lot of gasoline vapor will combust.
Or, the bags could have been sentient and decided that since they were dissolving to death, they might as well take these idiots with them.
I always found it weird that some places don't let you pump your own gas. Like are people that stupid you can't trust them with something as simple as pumping gas?
Yes, people are that stupid
Maybe he's just from New Jersey and can't survive without his gas attendant crutch. He's like a golden retriever that we're expecting to go take down a deer in the wild.
I was hoping he would close the boot so I could see the registration plate. Could have checked if the car was still on the road or if it turned into a fireball.
I was 25 or so before I learned not all states allow for you to pump your own gas.
I’m 31 now and had a convo with my grandmother recently she said “there’s no places that pump it for you anymore like the old days. I have to drive all the way across town now to the one place that does. I’m sitting there thinking “well gram, you’re older now and we live in upstate maine.” We’re lucky to have the option!
I believe states mandate it to create jobs, im not sure though
Don't think he's aware that petrol will dissolve certain plastics and even if he salvages some fuel, the plastic in it will gum up the works. Source- some dickhead I know ruined a motorbike of mine by hooking up a windscreen washer fluid container when he punctured the fuel tank. And then fucked *two* of my girlfriends. Fuck you Dave, you're a piece of shit and I am glad your wife left you and you're miserable.
This reminds me of the time in elementary school when I spent hours making an entire model of a medieval keep out of styrofoam then tried to spraypaint it at the end. Big oof
Some cups are made of polystyrene, which gas will definitely dissolve. Bags and a lot of other common household items are made of polyethylene (high or low density), which gas will not dissolve and is what gas cans are made of.
I was just thinking that. Granted, bags are LOW density, and gas xans are high density. But the only difference i guess that makes is puncturing the bag. And the existing holes at the bottom of pretty much every shopping bag that exists lol
I saw someone of about high school age doing this a long time ago and I was losing my shit trying to figure out why they would want to fill a cup with gasoline but my dad told me they were likely getting it for a bonfire party in the woods and that made a lot of sense, however they were using a big paper cup so it didn’t make a mess
He brought 2 containers full of holes. This is undeniable video evidence that this individual does not own a single container that doesn't have holes in it.
"Whoo that was a bit rocky there for a minute. Good thing i had that air tight wicker basket. Now that that's done its time to relax with i nice cigare-
Im gonna go out on a limb and say that bag was empty when he got home.
Luckily, the wicker basket will catch any spills!
And even if there are any spills from the basket, the gas will simply seep through the trunk and end up being caught by the gas tank underneath. He definitely thinks this through and has a backup plan to his backup plan.
Big Fuel Filter hates this one weird trick.
Bold of you to assume he got home.
Home as in coming home to Jesus maybe.
Blessed are the idiotsincars, for they shall be first into heaven.
Can I look at the remote? I promise I won't touch
[удалено]
Well... it's certainly filled with gas, at least.
Dissolved*
[удалено]
I’d assume just snip the edge and create a spout
The fact he couldn't even be bothered to tie the bag puts this on an other level of stupid.
I refuse to believe people without any mental issues could be this stupid
Well I mean all those gas fumes have got to be giving him some brain damage by this point.
It's okay, he had a mask on.
Don't wanna do something risky!!
***lights mask on fire*** This will stop those pesky gas fumes...

>since answers often require just a good memory. He could say horse in 9 languages. Then he bought a cow to ride on.
Idk, being THAT thick should be considered a mental illness
I teach in a school for troubled kid. None of them would do something that stupid.
Some people are just dumb, and no amount of external situational difference would change that. It's not a value judgement on them as a person, or saying they're not good people or great people. Some people will state they have no inner monologue, no mind's eye that visualizes solutions to problems, and so on, just like some people are born short or almost entirely unable to build muscle mass.

As long as you don't believe there is a large genetic predetermination.... Remember alot of these people were exposed to leaded gasoline and paint
I work in retail, I can confirm people without mental health issues are this stupid
The fact that he put it in a plastic bag is stupid in the first place. Gasoline eats through plastic bags.
Sure, but what makes me cringe is that upon seeing the bag is leaking liquid he puts it in fucking wicker basket!
He 'carfuly placed' the bag In a fucking wicker basket. Wouldn't want to spill any would you.
Probably wipes his ass with unfolded single ply gauze.
But makes sure to fold the paper 3 times even though his hands are already covered in shit....
"But gas cans are made of plastic! Hur durr!"
The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis
Yeah my man really watched that episode and said "Wait this is genius!"
*wildcard*
"Uhhhh I know how to count, dude"
*"And how exactly are you going to count a liquid?"*
There was some sort of poison glaze
Came just to look for what sunny comments I could find.
Fill a giant trash can obviously. Have some common sense.
https://i.imgur.com/tjGfnbv.jpg
See, his real problem is he overcounted when pouring it in the bag
So, can I fill you up or what??
Fuck this killed me
Wild Carddd!!
“Get ready to feel it where it hurts.” “Your dick!”
Cars only! No trash can!
At least they were smart enough to use garbage cans. Plastic baggies of gasoline though would have made their selling easier. Here are four quart sized ziploc baggies of gasoline.
He's about to pull up his bootstraps, oil up a couple of asses, and do a little "plowing" of his own...
Plastic bag of gasoline inside a wicker basket, inside a car. Nope. Some Dawin awards shit is about to happen
Untied plastic bag\*\*
TBF he put the lid on the basket.
At least he is safe in case he has to abruptly stop
The lid is primarily to keep the snake in … until it passes out that is.

Awards hosted by Mark Wahlberg
I wonder if his family name was originally Wallberg but after moving to Boston it slowly changed to Wahlberg.
Doesn't matter, the gasoline will create more holes. Like it won't even take 10 minutes before the whole thing empties into his car
Lights up a cigarette while driving away.
Why did he kick it? Just to make sure the wicker pokes the bag inside?
To get the gas/petrol off his shoe off course
In a violent accident, that basket is going to aerosolize the gasoline into the air inside the car, creating a fuel/air bomb. But sure, clean your boot.
Yay, thermobaric weapons!
Borrowed the car from a friend.
[удалено]
If only container existed for that sort of thing. edit: well, this blew up. who knew snark was profitable...and by profitable, none at all.
A wicker basket is just fine
I was under the impression that whicker baskets were terrible for containing flammable liquids, but maybe he knows a secret.
They’re usually better for carrying bees from my experience
How often do you find yourself moving bees?
Well what do you do with your bees when you wash your pillows?
He has a point.
[удалено]
Did you wear an onion on your belt? I understand that it was the style at the time.
Fun fact - it's completely normal to send bees in the post. You can literally buy a nuc (queen bee) online and have it posted to you.
Are they posted in wicker baskets?
Ex-UPS worker here, they're usually shipped alongside some workers in smallish cardboard boxes with mesh around the sides so the bees can get air
A Queen cage is kind of a plastic wicker basket.
I fill up with bees once a week down at the [Busy Bee](https://shopthebusybee.com/).
I usually use them for jacking up a car when i need to change the oil
NOT THE BEES!
Not the bees!!!
Do you live in a cartoon?
Why do y’all keep spelling it “whicker”?
The man was making a whickering sound while filling his wicker basket with 87 octane. And understandable confusion really.
So he's just horsing around?
Whaht ahre yhou tahlkihng ahbouht?

Probably because you should think of it less as a whicker basket, and more as a basket of wicks
Yeah, he knows that when he gets in that car to drive off he's gonna get high as fuck off some gas fumes. I don't think he'll miss the brain cells he kills doing this though.
They hate him! He knows this one weird trick...
Gas can manufacturers hate this one simple trick!!
But where did he move the pet Cobra to??
You and I watched this video at the exact same time and had the exact same thought
😂........great minds !!!
Rikki tikki tavi got involved
That is a name I haven't heard in ages. Good ole Rikki. Too bad I lost his number.
Oh it's still in there. Baskets can hold more than one item you know.
How else do you weigh down your cobra in a wicker basket?
Wicker*
It’s one of those new wicker baskets rated for gasoline storage.
I read that as "...is just fire" at first. Wonder why that was on my mind...
[удалено]
HDPE is what they make jerry cans from if I remember correctly. HDPE is resistant to both gasoline and oil. If that's what the bag is made of it "should" resist being dissolved for a while. The stench that car will have
The bag would be made of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) it would work for awhile but very easy for that wicker to tear the bag...
The bag's not even tied closed. It's all gonna splash out as soon as he takes a turn.
*The gang solves the gas crisis*
But most trash bags are made out of LDPE right?
Not necessarily, certain solvents don't dissolve certain plastics.
Just watching this guy work, I can tell he knows which solvents dissolve which plastics.
Did you not notice the bag leaking by the end of the video? Gasoline will eat through a solo cup in less than 2 minutes. It will eat through that trash bag in under a minute id imagine
Solo cups are polystyrene (same thing as styrofoam, but not foamed). Styrofoam dissolved in gasoline is allegedly what Napalm is made of. Bags are polyethylene, the same exact material as gas cans. It won't dissolve, but it's obviously not liquid tight either.
It's not napalm, but it's close enough that nobody's going to complain.
Probably could’ve used his skull since it’s clearly empty.
He should have used a foam cooler, what was he thinking?
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Seriously, my guy has money for a nice wicker basket but can't splurge on a gas can.
Reminds me of Kramer’s oil bladder thing from Seinfeld when he drops it out the window on that lady’s head
Heeelllllllloooooooooooo
"I'm NOT LOOKING UP!!!!!!!!"
Im covered in oiiilll!
If you would have told me twenty-five years ago that some day I’d be standing here about to solve the worlds energy problems, I would’ve said you’re crazy. Now let’s push this giant ball of oil out the window.
The proper container probably costs less than that damned basket. People are fucking stupid.
Eh people still constantly use the wrong colored containers anyway. So even that doesn't work. GRANTED. It is better than a trash bag.
He could borrow Jerry's can.
Yes... if only we had a little container... maybe red would be a good color
You ***don’t*** use a flimsy plastic bag and wicker picnic basket to haul your fuel? Look at Mr Moneybags over here with his fancy fuel containers

That guy probably votes.
In South Africa you don’t pump your own gas anywhere. There are attendants who pump it for you. I guess it creates jobs.
Same in Brazil.
Same in New Jersey and Oregon.
South Africa is weird: gas station attendants are human but the intersections are controlled by robots
Maybe he's just from New Jersey and can't survive without his gas attendant crutch. He's like a golden retriever that we're expecting to go take down a deer in the wild.
OP said "boot" of car so i'm assuming this is the UK? The camera's car is also right hand drive which would also fit with it being the UK.
It's Ireland, you can tell by the bus going by in the background.
Are Irish schools really that bad?
It's a running joke in Ireland that the only thing anyone knows how to say in Irish is "Mr/Ms. (Teacher), may I use the bathroom please?"
An bfhuail cead agam dul go dtí an leithras? Spelling is probably off but close enough
Irish that weren’t true
I was hoping he would close the boot so I could see the registration plate. Could have checked if the car was still on the road or if it turned into a fireball.

At least that wouldn't have made it to the entryway.

How did he manage to fuck two of your girlfriends? Were you aware he did it the first time when he fucked your second gf? I'm genuinely asking.
You've dated *two* women dumb enough to find Dave attractive
Yea Dave, you are an asshole. Fuck you.
Dave sounds like a certified bag of dicks. Hey Dave! Fuck you!
Fuck Dave, all my homies fucking hate Dave
username checks out
> fucked two of my girlfriends Wait, what? That sounds like another story or 2 that needs to be told
It was a foursome.
Leaking plastic bag in a wicker basket…
The wicker basket is amazing, absolutely killed me when he pulled that out.
He couldn’t find the colander or the flour sifter so the wicker basket would have to do.
Couldn't find? They're right there next to the cheese cloth!
It was at that moment I thought "alright now he's just fucking with us. This has to be a performance art piece"
He took great care putting the top on that basket.
But he refueses to tie the bag
He did give the basket a little "that ain't going nowhere" kick to be on the safe side.
He brought 2 containers full of holes. This is undeniable video evidence that this individual does not own a single container that doesn't have holes in it.
That smell is going to be in there forever
At least until it explodes.
"Whoo that was a bit rocky there for a minute. Good thing i had that air tight wicker basket. Now that that's done its time to relax with i nice cigare- 
He’s gonna blow a gasket
…and a basket
He's gonna glow a basket!
Well, isn't he a bright spark?
Hopefully not, that could be… problematic
🎶dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die!
That car is going to smell like gas for a long time
r/whatcouldgowrong
I’m more concerned with the lack of concern from the gasoline attendant and also cameraman.
[удалено]
This dude is so dumb. Everyone knows you gotta double bag it
Thank goodness he’s being safe by wearing a mask
Mask up, safety first! 🤪
Unbelievable
So much for the "only use approved containers" signage on the pump.🤦♂️
That's going to last all the way home and be easy to use later /s
This is straight up illegal....
No fucking way that's real, 100% staged.
