My brother actually cooked a potato like that. He put it in the microwave WITH TINFOIL WRAPPED AROUND IT. The microwave caught fire and all he did was open the front door and windows.
Nothing else.
When Dad and i got home we had to throw away the microwave and dispose of the burning potato. This was the first microwave he killed, but not his last.
He isnt trusted in the kitchen very often, now.
I think i still have pictures.
When I was younger I set 1 microwave 1 fire and 1 almost.
1 time I wanted lunch and we had some kind of buns with meat. Now, I read it needed like 10 minutes in a preheated oven, so my dumb ass thought well a microwave doesn't need to be preheated so I'll put it in there for 10 mins... It was on fire and my mom put it outside to burn out, that thing was done...
Now the other story, me and my friend wanted Easter eggs and not "regular chocolate" so we made Easter egg shapes from tinfoil and went to melt chocolate on the microwave with them, well you know where it goes from there...
I remember when I was like 3 and my brother was 8 he tried to microwave popcorn.
Let's just say I remember vividly when he opened the microwave door and tons of smoke came billowing out…
i made my microwave explode like a week ago
our just exploded too. Funny thing was, it was completely spontaneous. it was just a box of pizza. no staples, no metal or anything, so it should've been fine.
A whole box of pizza? Box included? Maybe I'm imagining the wrong kind of box, but that doesn't sound like a good idea at all
10:16 Regardless of how it was advertised, it is still illegal in Sweden to deny someone a good or service based on a quality they cannot control like race, ethnicity, sex or gender. Making exceptions for this law could set a dangerous precedent that it is okay to discriminate against certain groups so long as it is culturally accepted. So yes, they did commit a crime, and they did need to be treated as such
Edit: wrong country
Despite the country being Sweden discrimination based on sex is barred
@@the_expidition427 oh
Well, there's nothing wrong with options. Some women will prefer men-free music festivals, some men will prefer woman-free ones, and some people will prefer integrated ones.
The existence of man-free music festivals doesn't prevent men from attending integrated ones. And shutting down certain music festivals, reducing options, helps no-one.
Discrimination laws are stupid.
@@me-myself-i787 I'm sorry, but anti-discrimination laws play a key part in creating a more inclusive society. Without them, you would still be finding "whites only" signs all over the southern USA. These "options" can and will serve to help create a less cohesive social structure where it is easier for minorities to find themselves at the bottom for the fault of being born "wrong" way
Sweden already discriminates against Muslims, no country is perfect

@@Abigblueworld It's basically saying if you're trying to compare two words as equals, like the guy was trying to compare boomer to the N word, and you are saying one but not the other, then they're not really equal, and the one you won't say is the worse word. So the N word is worse than boomer because people (especially the guy comparing them) are perfectly fine saying boomer all the time, but most people won't ever say the N word.

6:40 They probably thought Coke was testing them and would sue them if they didn't notify them and accepted the secrets.
more likely that Pepsi has no use for the formular.
A) they make different products, yes they booth make "cola" but with different target demographics and people who drink it for what it tastes NOW. Someone who likes to drink pepsi would not be happy if it suddenyl tastes like coke, and someone who already drinks coke would be unlikely to swap to pepsi.
B) Pepsi could NOT really use the formular even IF they decided ti was worth the loss of costumer retention potentially. The Coca Cola Company would notice and investigate the Loss of trust, and legal fees and fines would NOT be worth it for Pepsi.
C) its to ensure that IF something similiar happens from Pepsis side, that the chances are high it also gets reported.

They're correct though.
Nail guns are primarily for construction.
And the kinds of guns GOP Teens was talking about are primarily un-aliving people.

I'm so conflicted on the 'men free' festival.
Personally, I think people should be able to run whatever kind of event they want and choose who can or can't participate based on any criteria.
At the same time, you know those same people would lose their damn minds if a 'women free' festival was thrown.
Of course, because extremists are hypocrites. They only want to be treated as equals when it benefits them, and then given preferential treatment when it doesn't.
It shouldn’t ever be legal to discriminate based on sex, race, religion, or anything like that. It sets a VERY dangerous precedent for what can be allowed
A gay bar will still serve a straight person, even though it's specifically a safe and open space for gay people. The important part is that the straight person respects the fact that they are occupying a gay space. Same standards should apply to a women's music festival.
If I have to change the group which is discriminated for you to notice that it's wrong. You're the problem.
Imagine a Concert which advertises itself as no POC allowed
It's all about phrasing.
I have seen tons of women-only gatherings. That is acceptable since it is not discriminatory against anyone, however a "man-free" festival is definitely discriminatory against men.

Good hearing Damien again, he's the reason I subbed.
I cant tell if you were being sarcastic, but at 2:42 the maths is incorrect. Pi is 3.14, therefore the person did tip pi. And now i want to eat pie.
Guy waited his whole life to have people attempt to correct him because they apparently don't know the value of pi.
Woman free music festival, (insert race here) free music festival, elderly free music festival, trans free music festival. Just replace the word man and the descrimination isnt in question.
I understand the importance of having a space for people you identify with, but a gay bar will still serve a straight person, or a bi person, or whoever. So long as you respect the people who the space is there for and your mere presence isnt in some way disruptive to the function (like having a kid in a nightclub) then yeah, anyone should be welcome at an event.

Challenge accepted
That story keeps being misquoted anyway. The problem was that she spiraled psychologically in the end and only ate one type of fruit for a very long time before she died. Although I suppose technically I shouldn't psychoanalyse her, but it seems unlikely she was of sound mind when she decided to eat only a single fruit despite getting more and more ill. Think it was Durian fruits she ate.
Restricting your diet and ensuring you don't miss what you need can be tricky, but it's generally doable if you really want to, but restricting it down to a single item is going to be the death of you, simple as that.
unfortunately for her, neither of those things are a tropical fruit - going on a plants only diet (beyond veganism, not even things like bread) is possible if managed correctly, although probably not optimal without taking supplements etc, but only eating fruit let alone only a tiny subsection of fruits isn't sustainable.

Considering what these people say is written in the Bible, and what is actually written in the Bible? I doubt many of them ever opened one at all, or came closer to it than sitting in the pews of their cult church while it was on the altar in the first place.
@@theexchipmunk Not to mention there's far more than just one Bible. Though, in all fairness, what IS written is either written by opportunistic douche-hats, or people genuinely trying to teach good morals to live by, but either way has gone through so many translations and transliterations due in no small part to the fact that the original texts were written in a language no longer practiced. Would love to hear what most people think the original Christian symbol was, because I can tell you right now, it wasn't the cross (as a funny aside, the upside-down cross didn't start out as a symbol of Satanism and has a more respectable origin from my understanding ;3).

9:54 *Damien.* Imagine a concert advertising itself to be "woman-free" or "man only." It would be discrimination without hesitation because they are Banning people for their sex and gender. If you reverse it, it's still the same concept - barring injury for someone based on their sex and gender, the things that are Beyond someone's control. It's not a changing room, it's a concert. It's discrimination.
If this seems silly to you, then it must be equally silly for women to be discriminated against by being barred from participating in events based on the fact that they are women.
Replying for the algorithm
I agree that it’s silly, but I think the point was that there’s high levels of sexual assault at music festivals. Yes, men experience sexual assault too (usually by other men, statistically). I personally wouldn’t be offended by a “male only” event. Its a one off thing, I think it’s different from systemic discrimination. But yes I agree it’s kind of silly, but I understand the reasoning behind it.
@@julibeanbag discrimination is still discrimination whether it is systemic or not. The issue of sexual assault is prevalent throughout Society but it is not so simple as just Banning someone because of factors beyond their control. Things like heightened security and campaigns to watch out for these things helps lower the instances of sexual assault along with a police presence. But this was not advertised as a way for women to be safe, nor is it likely that safety was ever on the mind. Like that restaurant that would charge men more for a meal then they would women, it's just discrimination.
From my community, there is a huge problem where black people are very racist towards asians, Hispanics and white people but refused to acknowledge their racism because it's not systemic racism. "It's called prejudice, not racism" which 1. Is extremely gross to acknowledge that you are prejudiced against someone for factors beyond their control and you are just fine with it, and 2. Prejudice _based on race or ethnicity _*_IS_*_ racism!_
The same with sexism. Just because it's not systemic, does not make it not what it is.
@@AmazingAutist I said I agree, I just think that was the idea behind it
@@julibeanbag If I recall correctly most people pretty much said: I get it, and women should absolutely feel safe during a music festival.
It's just that their attempt at solving the problem wound up being a crime. But it wasn't much of a backlash situation, it was simply deemed to be illegal to try to solve the issue in that way.
I mean, if people don't feel safe at a festival then that's a result of not enough security and not taking concerns seriously. They also could have had nearly the exact same result by simply putting up some rules of conduct that forbids touching, asking for numbers, and similar. Then just throw out the people who were creating a disturbance. Most who attended would be either women or allies in that case, with a heavy emphasis of female presenting people.
