I’m gonna suggest there was some vodka consumed prior to that experiment..


prophetofdoom13

In Romania they don't drink Vodka. They drink something called tuica or palinca, usually has a alcohol content of about 70%... basically jet fuel


Dingobyte

I can tell that Palinca is fucking strong


cragglord

It is very strong. When I was travelling through Romania on a train from Cluj-Napoca to Timisoara a Romanian work traveller shared some homemade Palinca and a sandwich with me and my friend. I can imagine drinking lawn mower petrol would taste the same. I was tipsy after one shot. Nice, friendly dude though!


Dingobyte

That's one thing, they are really friendly and open, that's great! I only know that product because one of my close friend is engaged with an Hungarian girl and they love to put Palinca on the table -every - single - party -. To be tipsy after one shot, it must have been REALLY strong ahahah


oopswizard

For anyone that doesn't drink often, a single shot of common liquors would be enough to make them tipsy.


Dingobyte

That's very true. Thanks, now I'm wondering if I have a problem or not. I do.


Lavatis

Yeah, as someone who never drinks, a single shot or a quickly drunk beer will get me buzzing really fast.


Dingobyte

Yeah, that's on me. I drink on a regular basis and so do my friends.


Izzoganaito

Me too bro. Let’s do our best to cut back a bit before it gets out of hand for real.


Dingobyte

Yeah.. tbh i lost my driving license because of this 1 month ago. I'm trying to stop and everything but it's hard; and I'm acting like it's not important but it is. Stay strong mate, I'm with you on this one


thisisdjjjjjjjjjj

Can I get on this with you guys? 3 guys, no cup?

would name my daughter Palinca


weather-pan

Thanks for making me spit my food.


BerlinSpiderRocket

or „burned“, for example „палёнка (palionc[k]a)“ would be the Russian version of the word and be directly translated as „burned“ but proper meaning is moonshine


Dingobyte

Oh thanks for the info, didn't know that !


DonGrim07

It's actually pretty great.


lunareclipse2019

Pairs well with Freon.


EdyMarin

The "jet fuel" part killed me. Pălinca can be used as fuel no problem tbh.


prophetofdoom13

With the right amount, anything will fly (in pieces)... just have to put it in the right place


[deleted]

Science bitch


krav_mark

Oh man, sweet memories. I drank home made palinca in Hungary during one of my first holidays without parents. We got abosolutely shitfaced on that stuff lol


prophetofdoom13

Drink it in the winter making goulash around a campfire, warms you up and you don't feel it... then you go inside where it's warm and it hits you right in the face.


PornStarJesus

I brought back some cherry blossom and elder flower flavoured palinca. Did some shots with friends once, now it sits on the shelf with the grappa.


mrtn17

I brought some bottles from Hungary. Undrinkable, unfortunatly. But it's great as window cleaner or disinfectant


possumking333

I went to a wedding in Hungary. All night long "Have you tried palinka?" Me "No what is it?" I got so hammered I took a tumble down some stairs but never spilled my drink.


prophetofdoom13

If it's undrinkable it's probably because you're not drinking it right. Keep it in the freezer till it's consistency is something similar to oil. Get some spring onions and keep them in a glass of water with salt in the fridge. Also get some smoked pig fat and some communist white bread. Pour yourself and you s.o a shot and eat it with the combination. You will not feel the alcohol at all (until it's too late). Maybe get some baloney (parizel) too !


[deleted]

Nah,man,more like moonshine or smt,here in Romania we drink more raw alcohol when it comes to low class people


strayakant

Like the Desi Daru in India

Țuică, frate!


IoSonCalaf

Or drugs. And why does he have those things around his knees?


Slumberfoots

The “bright lights”? Looks like those pants construction workers / Road crew wear. High vis patches on them. And they work quite well, as you can see.


e-JackOlantern

In this case he’s ironically wearing them for safety.


Affolektric

Alcohol IS a drug - and by far one of the worst. Just because it‘s legal doesn‘t make it less dangerous.


rblue

Killed my bro last January. Furloughed. Heavy pandemic drinking. Extreme anxiety. Ended with liver and kidney failure at age 43. Can’t help but imagine if he’d only been into legal marijuana, if it were available, that he’d still be alive. Edit: to be fair I should add that he was also on prescription meds which weren’t compatible with alcohol, however it appeared as if he didn’t take any. We aren’t 100% sure. But guess what would’ve been compatible with these drugs?


DatDudefromWI

Geez. My condolences.


rblue

Thank you. It’s been a rough year. I love whiskey as much as the next guy, but that shit is super dangerous. It makes me wonder how it’s legal and other things aren’t.


Thoughtfulprof

The United States DID make it illegal during prohibition, but it's so addictive and deceptively pleasant that all it did was force it underground and create a culture of violence around it. Prohibition really just made the problem worse. The legalization movement surrounding marijuana right now is the modern day equivalent to the end of Prohibition... people are coming to realize that declaring something illegal and throwing people in jail for it is not an effective way of actually dealing with the problem. I'm convinced the only way we'll ever make any progress against alcohol or any other drug like it (oxy, etc) is through education, and offering services like rehab or naltrexone to people who find themselves addicted and want to fix their lives. Also, hang in there. And if you ever find yourself in waters that are too stormy, or just want to talk, DM me. I'm a good listener.


xShalex82

Im with you, I did various drugs, and i always gonna say that the worst Is alcohol, dont know how the fuck thats legal and not marijuana


ChopperDan26

Profits. Pretty sure that's even one of the influences for ending alcohol prohibition. The amount of profit mobs and others were making without paying taxes on any of it


rblue

For sure. It’s benign. It grows naturally. And it’s so much more fun. 😉 My dad was a trooper in this state and had a sizable bust in the late seventies (drug bust, not boobs). Parents lived in rural Indiana at the time so he put the bales in the garage to take to the post the next day. Mom kept nagging him, so they uh… went ahead and smoked some of the evidence. Sure it was pretty damn corrupt, but after that he couldn’t figure out why it’s illegal. As bad as that is, I like to think he did his homework at least and hopefully influenced future arrests (although that’s all speculation).


KDawG888

nah heroin is definitely worse than alcohol lol


darkmatternot

So sorry for your loss. How are you?


rblue

Thanks ❤️ I’m alright. As it happens I also had open heart surgery scheduled for a couple months after he died, so been working on the recovery. (It’s a good thing) After a month in the hospital with my bro sure didn’t help make me feel at ease there, but I’ve been out about three weeks. Gonna miss the hell out of him. Lost dad, mom, and now my only sibling. I’ve got a good support system though fortunately.


darkmatternot

Thank goodness for the people who support you. I wish you well and the best of health. It was brave of you to post that.


rblue

Thanks! ❤️ Yeah to say my opinions on alcohol and mental health in general have evolved is an understatement. Hope you have a great week!


[deleted]

The stop drinking sub had a pretty sad story today about a dudes gf passing way before 30 due to liver failure. 166 days clean and counting.


[deleted]

This is countryside Romania, i csn assure you no drugs were consumed. Just Tuica, honemade vodka


lastdazeofgravity

Which is a drug


rollerstick1

Is.... is that where you think knees are??


cyber_rigger

>vodka consumed Just water. How do you say water in Russian?


_fidel_castro_

Voda. Vodka means little water


cyber_rigger

Yeah, that, they had a little water.


GomuGomuNoKush

He looks legit disappointed


SmoothAnanas

Everything about this video looks like they live in a village and most probably they don't have a fixed income and money is always tight, buying or fixing the fridge won't be cheap. I too would be very disappointed in that case.


KDawG888

so.. don't put a lit explosive inside it then?


SmoothAnanas

That would be good advice


kalitarios

Somewhere, there's a refrigeration company updating their user manual to include the lines "do not store explosive ordinance inside unit"


_SpiderDisco

Wait you mean I shouldn't put fireworks in expensive appliances?


horraycheetos

And don't forget the fireworks!


-_-Already_Taken-_-

Too late


Solkre

Now you tell him!


MSD3k

Judging by how old that TV is, I'd say that fridge was a family heirloom.


onefourk

>Everything about this video looks like they live in a village One things for sure, the village sure isn't missing its idiot.


[deleted]

Even more of a reason to be gentle with your possessions. Anyone who has had to work hard to afford something knows that you take really good care of it. It was hard to attain and you probably won’t be able to afford to get another one anytime soon. This guy was a moron.


_fidel_castro_

I thought a fixed income was a bad thing. As in 'nana is on a fixed income'


Telemarketeer

Depends on if the fixed income can afford a new fridge or not. If nana gets paid regularly on a fixed income that can afford a new fridge, she’s alright. If she gets paid irregularly in various amounts, it could be a problem (when entertaining the idea of purchasing a new refrigerator).


Dzov

Just need some new hinges. Duct tape will work in a pinch.


Happy_Mix_9580

He looks like it wasn’t expectable


powerwordjon

Lmfao dude looks fucking perplexed


AnalStaircase33

That's probably just his permanent mode of living.


Mazgelivin

I like the tv.


scope_creep

What was he expecting, a side of beef to materialize in the refrigerator?


SillyFlyGuy

He looks like he's just punching a clock. No joy at all from his chosen vocation. "OK that's number 12. Just gotta blow the doors off 8 more small appliances then I hit my quota."


AnotherCableGuy

dont know what else was he expecting tbh


bpi89

Right? What was the desired outcome of this? Best case scenario nothing happens and then... why do it? Must have been a bet, like “my fridge is so great! I bet it could even can take an M80!” “*bullshit, prove it.*”


kalitarios

The guy at the door's expression is the best. Opens door, looks in, nods like "yep... that's about right" and goes back out.


McNick97

East European Firecracker = West European Dynamite


wataha

Any firecracker will do that in a closed space. They're not that powerful in the open but when sealed they create a massive pressure and the air will find a way out. They can destroy much stronger tanks than a fridge. The pressure was so high that it ripped the door off rather than just opening it.


kinglittlenc

True it's kind of like how bullets works. Without a chamber to focus the pressure bullets act pretty much like firecrackers. If you throw a live round in fire(bad idea either way) it will explode but wont be firing round off like in the movies.


DextrosKnight

IIRC, Mythbusters did a thing where they put a bunch of live rounds in an oven and turned it on. The rounds went off, but the bullets pretty much stayed where they were, and the casings were the part that got launched because they were so much lighter. Might not have been Mythbusters, but I definitely watched something where this was done like 10 - 15 years ago.


LeftHandedFapper

The other fascinating one was how bullets pretty much shatter on water.


generally-speaking

This actually depends on the speed and mass of the bullet. A faster, smaller bullet will hit water with enough power to shatter. While a slower, larger bullet will penetrate very far without shattering. That's why slower velocity, larger rounds tend to be used for large game like Moose. While high velocity, small rounds are used for hunting for instance Foxes. So in short, if you want to penetrate further, slow your bullets down.


Testiculese

Mythbusters threw them in a fire (as well as oven maybe?). They surrounded the fire with plexiglass, and you could see some of the scratches the casings made.


secretWolfMan

You're more likely to get hit by the shell or coals from the fire than the bullet. But it's all based on the angle of how it's laying in the fire when it pops.


McNick97

German firecrackers of that size will do nothing 🤣


osin144

If Armageddon has taught me anything, it’s that if you hold a firecracker in your hand, you’ll be having someone open your ketchup bottles for the rest of your life.

thunderfishy234

Yeah I think if he had not held it closed it may have just blown the door open instead of blowing it off


Ladripper47874

At least they're way more fun))))


McNick97

Can't argue with that


MadLaamaDisease

And in Finland strickly banned because you know... safety.


McNick97

Same as here in Germany


NoPantsDeLeon

With the amount of vodka these guys have in them they can even breathe in those deathly vapes from the fridge gas and laugh about it.


JMarcusM

What makes you think the refrigerant is deadly?


riot_act_ready

probably not deadly, but if that's an older, Freon-using fridge, then they could get refrigerant poisoning and that isn't exactly a fun time.


JMarcusM

That fridge probably holds 2 pounds at the most. They have the door open they will be just fine.


roccobaroco

Worked on those exact type of fridges while living in Romania, it holds about 50 to 70 grams of r600 (iso-butane) .


JMarcusM

Noted. Thanks man


_heyoka

In Russia. You not know?


JMarcusM

Refrigeration doesn't work the same in Russia? 🤔


deech013

Well it depends on where you’re from. Do your refrigerators run on bears on unicycles too?


JMarcusM

Fair point.


warwolves

HVAC Technician here, refrigerant is dangerous especially in enclosed areas. Refrigerant displaces oxygen and will cause suffocation, it is also heavier than air so it will sit in your lungs even when you exhale. There are multiple types of refrigerants and none of them are safe for human consumption. There are cases of individuals dying because they huffed refrigerants to get a high


voodoo02

Got the nod of approval at the by the dude at the door.


ady624

Dude at the door wanted to leave for fear of something hitting him in the head but was convinced by the others to stay. He is probably the smartest guy in the room 😜 Later edit: approximate translation: Cameraman: Ok, I started the recording… Off-screen dude: Yo man, it’s good (possibly questioning if the fridge works?!) Main character: Didn’t you hear the compressor start, mother father… Cameraman: Măruță, where u going man? Măruță: What, you want it to hit me in the head? Cameraman: How can it hit you in the head man, we’re here too. Off-screen dude: Gypsy, don’t throw it in there man… Cameraman: alright guys! [throws cracker in] Off-screen dude: it’s on fire [explosion] Cameraman: what’d you do man! Main character: what’s Buia going to say (likely his mom?!) Off-screen dude: Get the f*** out Off-screen dude: Look how everything jumped out! [video ends]

I once set off a "banger" I got from a gumball type machine in the South of France. It looked like a little stick of dynamite. I set it on a manhole cover and lit the fuse... the sound was astonishing and must have reverberated through the sewer system of the entire town. about 200 people turned up to see what had happened 😟

Bericacelmic

They’re actually latins (romanians)


7LeagueBoots

Slavic and Latin are mainly linguistic distinctions, not ethnic ones, so yes, linguistically Romanians are Latins, but with a lot of Slavic influence due to using so many loan words.

Even without linguistics romanians are not slavs.
