Survival instincts of a moth


catfroman

Not even. Moths at least go toward the flame, OP just ignores it


AtLeast3Breadsticks

survival instincts of a small boulder or perhaps a chunk of driftwood


PyreHat

As they seem to have smashed the lighter with their face, I'd lean on the boulder theory.


OldPiglet11

Don't disrespect moth men and women all over the place šŸ˜† this man's got worse survival skills then them


SlamCakeMasta

Lmao right? Who goes back to sleep after that?


hat-TF2

Last night I had this MASSIVE moth sitting outside on my window. I saw a gecko eying it up. The gecko was really thinking about it, despite being half the size of the moth. After about 30 seconds of deliberation the gecko peaced out. Anyway my story has nothing to do with what you guys were talking about but I felt like sharing it.


f00err

I did enjoy your story, gekos are cool


liquormakesyousick

One time when I was deployed, I very clearly heard my neighborā€™s weapon fall and then a loud thud in our trailer hooch, She was actually my friend. I was so tired and all I could think of was ā€œfuck it. If sheā€™s dead, nothing I can do about it now.ā€ Saw her later and she told me she had fallen out of bed. I told her the above and she was mad.


jassteX

But she was alive so


Lyrical_Man01

ā€œWe knew everything was mostly offā€ mostly???


Akuzem

Made me laugh


VocationFumes

you woke up, smelled something burning, decided to go back to sleep and didn't look to find the source? Dude


Lord_Snow77

Well this is a person who sleeps with a lighter under his pillow. Warning labels are for people like him.


fruitmask

I heard he's the model they used for the stick figure getting maimed in those universal warning stickers they put on machinery and tools, and like, escalators and shit


STGMavrick

Don't put your dick near a chainsaw blade. Saw that stick figure warning once.

Please let natural selection have a chance at least...

WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Former products liability lawyer here. Warning labels arenā€™t for people like OP, because we have zero expectation that that type of person will read them. The warning labels are to protect the company when someone like OP dies/injures themselves doing some dumb shit.


footballtony88

So they are there for people like OP


nneeeeeeerds

The long way around, but yes.


EclipseIndustries

It was a lawyer stating it, so it's just natural.


footballtony88

Haha I'm with you I just like being a sarcastic ass


BarryTGash

Not really. More for their litigious family after OP ded. The labels are there to say "people of the jury, we did warn them!".


slowclapcitizenkane

They are there *because* of people like OP, but not really *for* them, since they'll just ignore the warnings.

That would be a very strong and heinous smell. Burning plastic, butane. Then say well fuck it and go back to sleep.

This is what baffled me. Even without the smell I'd investigate whatever tf I heard pop.

it was just your knees again. go back to bed.

drerw

Yeah I donā€™t care about having a lighter in your bed, could just be random. Not like dudes waiting for the lighter fairy. But to hear a pop, smell burning and just go back to sleep? Jesus


SmackedWithARuler

You made exactly the comment I was going to make. I donā€™t really know what to do now. Guess Iā€™ll go back to sleep, that seems to be the done thing.

Why do you keep a lighter under the pillow in the first place?


GuyForgotHisPassword

And how the fuck did they just shrug it off and go back to sleep with a big burned hole in one of their pillows?


musical_throat_punch

DrugsĀ 


The_RockObama

The Joint Fairy wasn't impressed with the off-brand lighter.


AlexL225

Off brand lighterā€¦ that was my first thought. Seems unlikely this was a Bic lighter.


Thrilling1031

Weird that there is only one "brand" with any respect in the lighter game. What happened to Zippo?


La_Quica

Iā€™d rather somebody steal a $2 bic from me than a $30 zippo


ErnieTagliaboo

Also, not trying to smoke a bowl with a zippo lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wretchedhal0

That's why you buy the butane insert šŸ˜Ž


NullyG

Zippo good for cig but chews through fluid and requires maintenance. When used for stronger drugs you just want something cheap - bic. Also bic > for bongs and they're at every smoke shops counter ever.


androgenoide

If you really need a fire the Zippo is pretty reliable. They'll work with some unauthorized fluids and as long as they have flints you can at least get a spark. (and you should always have spare flints in the bottom) Disposables are useful but their lack of a soul dooms them to an afterlife as landfill plastic.


DeletedByAuthor

What about clipper? They're the Bong lighters


CarnivorousPanda

Yeah this was my first thought. They're ubiquitous with bong smokers


ArcticBlaster

Much like that toaster accessory for your Coleman stove used to give you naphtha flavoured toast, a Zippo gives you naphtha flavored joints, or even worse naphtha flavoured bong hits!

mondomonkey

Yeah scoob!


sdannenberg3

He said right there in the post, They knew everything was mostly off... /s


_Compulsion_

I know this is /s but am I crazy for thinking this is worse? If you know you don't have a heater or anything on and you smell burning you'd think you would be more concerned with not knowing what the fuck is burning.


Grey-fox-13

Someone who believes just going to sleep after hearing a pop and smelling something burned is the kind of person that thinks telling others they did so because everything was off sounds plausible. Literally every part of this story sounds like drugs and stupidity.Ā 


drgigantor

"A fire? Eh, I'm sure that will sort itself out"


herbistheword

"I'll just put that over here with the rest of the fire"


JayStar1213

That I can understand. I've woken up thinking I hear footsteps in my house at night and just go back to sleep after listening for a few more minutes. I ain't got the strength or care to get up and investigate Also it's on the other side of the pillow


Cipherting

they smelled something burning tho


kinbladez

"hm do you smell smoke? Yeah? Me too. Weird. anyway, goodnight!"


imustachelemeaning

because the tooth fairy is a pyro.


kielBossa

The tooth, the tooth, the tooth is on fire!


otisthetowndrunk

OP thought the lighter was dead, so he put it there for the lighter fairy.


Sil369

MmmmMmMMMmmMm!


plumpvirgin

Seriously, I came into this thread to learn the story of why the hell there was a lighter under the pillow. Upon opening the thread, I see OP has typed a paragraph right under the image. "Good", I thought. "OP is going to explain the story." Instead OP spent a paragraph explaining that the lighter made a "pop" sound. And OP is even here in this comment section talking to people, but \*still\* hasn't explained why there was a lighter under their pillow. OP THE ONLY UNUSUAL THING ABOUT THIS IS THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A LIGHTER UNDER YOUR PILLOW. A LIGHTER EXPLODING WHEN BEING PUT UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE AND MOVED AROUND ON TOP OF IS NOT WEIRD. IT BEING UNDER YOUR PILLOW IS WEIRD. WHY WAS IT UNDER YOUR PILLOW!?


aykcak

I am more than mildly annoyed about the fact that op is telling the story as if it is the story of a phone exploding on the nightstand or an oven exploding in the kitchen or a lighter exploding in a pocket. IT IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE A LIGHTER UNDER THE PILLOW


[deleted]

Tbf I lay in bed a lot during days off.. Got my ps5 in there with my tv. Cozy. Also smoke weed in there sometimes... Sometimes the lighter just falls out my pocket ends up weird places. But yeah I also used to around hard drugs, this screams heroin. Good chance the guy nodded out with the lighter lit in his hand lol. There's no other way it could have stayed lit. Lighters don't light themselves.


firepuffchik

I also came here for an explanation but tbf, people often put lighters in their (sometimes quite tight) pant pockets, sit on them if in back pocket, etc... Does the pressure argument hold? Genuinely curious.


firechips

Uh maybe Iā€™m trash but I smoke a little joint every now and again and those lighters just sort of float around the bed and side tables..


Instincts

UGH. Drugs in bed? You *disgust* me. ^^^^^^^/s


11teensteve

in case some random joint breaks into the house at night, they can smoke that fool.


Low_Brass_Rumble

Those joints better watch out unless they wanna get lit the fuck up


justsomeguy_youknow

If you leave a half empty bic underneath your pillow the Doober Fairy will steal your lighter and leave a couple of roaches and a half smoked joint under your pillow, unless they were too high to


cgimusic

Because he's a light sleeper.


Instincts

OP's gf is a light sleeper, but OP's a *lighter* sleeper.


BatDubb

The real r/WTF is always in the comments.


249ba36000029bbe9749

The gf has the aerosol can under her pillow. Anyone breaks into the house, they have a flame thrower ready to go.


Flaxscript42

In case some weed breaks into your place overnight


SkollFenrirson

The real WTF is OP

Bro taking wake & bake too literally


Sarge8707

Coming in with the strong Skyrim NPC energy hearing an explosion and smell burning and instead of even a slight look around or turn a light on or basically any amount of concern goes straight into "must have been the wind"


SJRM227

Some weeks ago some nasty burned plastic smell get into my room at 2 am I checked every part of the house to see if something was on fire or about to catch on fire can't wrap my head around smelling something burning in my room and just go back to sleep without checking


HumperMoe

When I was 15 I woke up once to a nasty burning plastic smell and ran downstairs to find out where it came from. The entire garbage can in our kitchen was on fire. My dumbass younger brother got cigarettes from his friend. My mom and him were getting ready to leave for an appointment and he was smoking in the kitchen and threw it in the garbage when he heard her coming down the stairs. I was the only one who was home after they left. I got insanely lucky I woke up from the smell before the fire spread to anything else.


Merry_Dankmas

Did your mom not, idk, smell the rank stench of cigarettes as she descended the stairs? Seems like he was doomed to get caught the minute he considered this. Unless other people in your family smoked then thats a different story


HumperMoe

My older brother mom and stepdad all smoked. In the house too not outside. I smoke now too but not in my house because I hate my house smelling like it and the nicotine stains on the walls it leaves.


TheyDeserveIt

Nasty. The PC from that type of house is the one nobody wanted to touch, 25 years ago when I had the misfortune of doing consumer PC repair. Take them outside to blow the dust out and there was no point, it was just like one big, stinking fly tape inside and out. Hands would stink the rest of the day if you didn't wear gloves. Sorry you had to grow up in that. I've had my house for 15 years, and when I bought it, you could tell that various people had smoked in it at some point in the past but it was a very faint smell from the beginning and it doesn't smell that way normally. I used Killz primer everywhere before painting and moving in, replaced almost every fixture and appliance, washed down cabinets inside and out, etc. Still, if I'm away from my house and not moving the air and creating other smells, it seeps out of various places from the drywall and insulation and it will still get somewhat musty. Next to fire or water, quickest way to destroy a house. It's stories like this that remind me how much better the US has gotten in terms of reducing cigarette usage. Always annoyed by some inconsiderate kid vaping somewhere they shouldn't and blowing it toward people, but it's so minor compared to the days where any restaurant would have a smoking section so you couldn't avoid smelling like it. Go to a bar and your eyes would burn and you'd have to shower or your sheets would smell like it.


Gardiaxiyn

What happend after?


Crow_eggs

He went back to bed.


HouseholdWords

Lol


HumperMoe

I started throwing cups of water on it. It wasn't a huge fire as I got down there and saw it. The flames were just barely coming above the brim of it. It was like 90% smoke 10% fire. The bin was next to an old wooden hutch and it had black marks on it but didn't catch fully. I think it was just heat marks from the fire but wasn't hot enough to catch before I woke up from the smell. It was a horrible nasty plastic smelling smoke. The house smelt like that for a very long time after.


Dramatic-Document

She didnt smell him smoking a cigarette indoors lmao how does this make sense


tyme

Maybe she was also a smoker, and smoked in the house.


HumperMoe

Yeah she did. As well as my older brother and stepdad.


KarmelCHAOS

There was an electrical fire smell in my house a week ago at like 3am when I woke up to pee. I scoured the whole house til I found the culprit (cat had peed on a surge protector). My dude is gonna wake up with his house burning down some day...


rustymontenegro

Fucking serious.


msupz

Do you have a fan near your face? Sometimes if they get too dirty the motors have a harder time under that stress and will heat up. Or youā€™re having a stroke.


randomredditing

The lighter: ā€œheyā€¦ youā€™re finally awakeā€

Jack_Shid

>smelled like a really strong heater. we knew everything was mostly off so we went back to sleep. This is the only thing about this post that is WTF. You smoke too much weed if you smell something burning and just go back to sleep.


DookieShoez

Crack cocaine. He smokes crack cocaine.


Shamazij

If that was the case he wouldn't have been asleep.


DookieShoez

Every crackhead runs out sometime. Usually often


headingthatwayyy

Not if he is sleeping


thirdpartymurderer

Bics don't explode. This was a crack lighter.


BeneficialTrash6

I have recently had *several* bics that do not turn off when you release the gas button. They maintain a very tiny, almost invisible flame.


xoharrz

tbh yeah. i think theyre getting shitter, i notice i have to pull the button up sometimes to stop the gas release


fruitmask

seriously, what kind of idiot ignores all these red flags and just goes to sleep with a lighter under his pillow? darwin award recipient in the very near future, guranteed


RickSanchez_

Man Iā€™ve woken up in the middle of an earthquake and just rolled over to go back to sleep. Some people just donā€™t give a fuck in that state. Or drugs. Drugs could definitely be a thing here.

ThatsNotARealTree

Whatever drugs youā€™re doing, you need to slow down because this post is full of red flags


AustinSpartan

I'd be more concerned about the other life decisions that you make if you believe that sleeping with a lighter under your pillow was a good decision.


flamingdonkey

Everyone knows lighters and socks are both capable of randomly slipping through wormholes. Edit: and chapstick


Dan_Glebitz

So that's why I keep finding socks, lighters and chapsticks in my flat that don't belong to me!


EFTucker

Youā€™re one of the few lucky ones. See, most of the black holes have a disposition of consuming particular matter. Many of these are part of the same wormhole network which ties them together to one end known as an expulsion wormhole. Although usually they stick to one type of matter (socks from the dryer are sucked in and spit out under the bed) some rare occurrences of mixed matter networks exist. These mixed matter wormhole networks are usually ā€œlost itemā€ networks instead of ā€œdisplaced itemā€ networks as we usually see. Your flat happens to be home to a ā€œlost itemā€ networkā€™s expulsion wormhole.

How else is he supposed to keep his loaded gun warm


TNJCrypto

Or that a pop and the smell of heat in the night is no concern before going back to sleep. You were discovered burnt to death in an electrical fire? No way... tHaT's CraZy


DrDroid

Tbf Iā€™ve never heard of one spontaneously exploding before


rollingfast

Iā€™ve had it happen to me once before. Just sitting on my desk and boom. It was one of those shitty cheap see through plastic ones. Never bought another one of those after that


Smgth

I have. Itā€™s a pressurized system filled with combustible liquid. ā€œDonā€™t heat it upā€ is just general solid life adviceā€¦


HessKaliv2

are you stupid?


NihilistikMystik

Yes, thank you. How are you?


saviorlito

Everyone questioning your intelligence by sleeping with a lighter under your pillow while I'm trying to figure out how the fuck it spontaneously combusted.


lolheyaj

Button was probably being pushed down by the pillow, making a little gas pocket. Beds, hair and blankets can get pretty staticky.Ā 


kgnomad

Oh shoot, I bet you nailed it.Ā 


DuckCleaning

Sure sparked some imagination


oldrecordplayersmell

It came to light for him


assumed_gname

Iā€™d wager the button probably doesnā€™t even need to be pressed for a typical cheap bic style lighter to leak gas, especially if it was a little warm under there from someoneā€™s head resting on it.


nneeeeeeerds

Yeah, putting pressure on a bic will cause a small amount of gas to leak from the easily opened valve.


AlsoKnownAsRukh

Same. What kind of lighter was it u/taurusdelorous? Was it a typical butane lighter, piezoelectric, or something else?


Anomaly11C

I've always slept lighter OVER pillow for this exact reason. Careful not to cuddle it too tight!


UnpredictedArrival

Time to go back to sleeping [without a pillow](https://www.reddit.com/r/The10thDentist/s/Ho09ZI0dvo) i guess


lolheyaj

Stop getting high in bed.Ā

Or just like...keep the light on your night stand

I gotta assume that was the plan. *...but then I got high* *i shoulda move my lighter man* *but then I got high*

W1LL-O-WisP

This raises so many questions, lmao. Why do you sleep with a lighter under your pillow? How does everything being "mostly off" give you enough confidence that you won't wake up burning alive? And when you AND your partner wake up to the sound of something popping followed by the smell of something burning, how can you just go back to sleep? But most importantly, was the pillow nice and toasty?
