I don’t know who’s a bigger idiot, the guy holding the saw, or the guy holding the wood.

28

u/Garland_Key 1d ago

The guy holding the saw is wearing slides, so definitely him. 

14

u/RcNorth 1d ago

And he keeps looking away. WTF.

11

u/jwelsh8it 1d ago

Safety sandals.

2

u/theshoeshiner84 1d ago

Also, are we just gonna pretend he doesnt look like a member of ZZ Top?

u/Massive_Reaction8845 1d ago

They're both tied for first place.

The guy who staged MacGyver-circular-saw-man near a large compressed gas container.

This is what inbreeding does

38

u/davidc538 1d ago

In some countries, marrying a 3rd cousin isn’t considered inbreeding. This might be one of those countries.

u/NeilDeCrash 1d ago

In some countries, marrying a 3rd cousin isn’t considered inbreeding.

Pretty much in the whole world, you can marry your actual cousin. Only few countries in the world has made it illegal.

Illinois: Permitted when both individuals are at least 50, or one has medical certification of permanent sterility.

Indiana: Both individuals must be at least 65.

u/MisterPuffyNipples 1d ago

I would guess the country is Chechnya just based off that one guys facial hair

u/Burn_n_Turn 20h ago

Looking 9-10 year Dagestan and forget.

u/trisanachandler 1d ago

3rd cousin I thought was allowed in most countries. 1st cousin is the one where it gets really weird.

3

u/Rage_Roll 1d ago

A third cousin is as close as a stranger to you genetically.

1

u/DefinitionConstant81 1d ago

Just because it isn’t considered inbreeding doesn’t mean it isn’t

u/potatodrinker 1d ago

He came.

He saw.

He came.

He saw.

u/PhDinWombology 1d ago

So the problem solves itself in time

u/Church6633 1d ago

I know people have lost their fingers for less

25

u/housevil 1d ago

His beard was at risk too.

3

u/Oops_All_Bans 1d ago

Like an inch away from ripping his own face off

1

u/housevil 1d ago

Perfection.

33

u/TheOtherJeff 1d ago

Now let’s see if it will cut your beard hair

7

u/MediumAcceptable129 1d ago

That would be haram

15

u/Through_theShadows 1d ago

That is insanely stupid.

Darwin Award semi-finalists.

u/CourtingBoredom 1d ago

Just waiting for the follow-up video now....

39

u/Paul-E-L 1d ago

Knock it off, you’re giving me anxiety here!

12

u/TheXypris 1d ago

What could go right?

7

u/BriefCorrect4186 1d ago

Can it be considered brave if you aren't smart enough to understand the risk?

12

u/Mrbazzanator 1d ago

wouldn't go near that thing even if the grinder was fixed in a vice or something

4

u/Electrical-Injury-23 1d ago

There's a famous story about a surgery with a 300% fatality rate, this has the potential to top that.

3

u/SirSavage_the_second 1d ago

Damn does it kill the doctors too?

5

u/lankymjc 1d ago

The patient died, the doctor died, and a spectator died. 300% mortality.

2

u/GreyFox_1337 1d ago

But the camera man always lives.

2

u/lankymjc 1d ago

Survivorship bias.

1

u/cswilson2016 1d ago

It was actually the patient, spectator, and the drs assistant. Even more hilarious.

7

u/ItBTundra 1d ago

This is so incredibly stupid lmfao

6

u/thatsalovelyusername 1d ago

Thank goodness that he’s wearing his safety slides

3

u/SpaceAdventureCobraX 1d ago

The best thing about this, is how safe it is

3

u/feetnomer 1d ago

Even a box full of tourniquets and a surgeon on standby couldn't save these guys from themselves. It's only a matter of time.

3

u/MegaDonkeyDonkey 1d ago

The fact that he looks away (towards camera) while applying movement with his hands with the saw, is why I know he is still a student waiting to receive his lesson about fun and games. Teacher hits hard imo.

3

u/among_apes 1d ago

All smiles for now…

7

u/_BKom_ 1d ago

Jesus fucking Christ.

3

u/Odd_Grade2485 1d ago

Am I the only one that was waiting for his beard to get caught and pull his face into the blade?

4

u/Vzyboi 1d ago

Why? Genuinly why? Just cause?

1

u/Select_Asparagus3451 1d ago

I’m thinking this is Chechnya or somewhere in that region.

1

u/cncomg 1d ago

I think it’s wherever that small little guy on social media that wears the little hat and gets mad and tries to beat up his MMA fighter friend all the time is from.

u/coolsteelboyS4ndyBoy 1d ago

Why men live shorter than women

5

u/OstrichSmoothe 1d ago

The expression is why women live longer. But you were close

2

u/ZealousidealAd2548 1d ago

Came here to say almost this

2

u/cocktailgarnaal 1d ago

Because what could possibly go wrong!? /s fucktards

2

u/Blackout_Underway 1d ago

Their smiles tell me they've never seen anyone missing fingers before.

2

u/SETHlUS 1d ago

I've seen people shoot themselves, stab themselves, sit on glass jars etc. But something about this video and their stupid grins makes me want to pin it as the dumbest shit I've ever seen on the internet.

2

u/SharkBiscuittt 1d ago

Wow, power tools are not toys..

2

u/Typical-Crazy-3100 1d ago

Beardo working with power tools.
Guy needs a shave.

2

u/agroyle 1d ago

This is why there’s a category called women live longer

3

u/kipperlenko 1d ago

No, no, no.

3

u/WiseSalamander00 1d ago

all I see here is people that don't love having hands

2

u/Angreek 1d ago

Gheesh I’d at least use longer material so my hands are farther away..

2

u/psilome 1d ago

It's only funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious.

u/irishdrunkwanderlust 1d ago

Where’s that dumb ways to die song when you need it?

u/Prof_Awesome_GER 1d ago

If you look at the Dude on the right, you can actually see the last 5 Braincells fighting to leave his Head.

1

u/mlstdrag0n 1d ago

If anyone has ever wondered why men have lower life expectancy vs women…

1

u/jerry111165 1d ago

So dumb

u/Shot_in_the_dark777 1d ago

What can possibly go wrong?

u/HereticGaming16 1d ago

The De-Limb-A-Nator!!!!

We are currently having a Chop One/Get One sale for limbs. Bring a buddy for the discount!!

u/kobuzz666 1d ago

This vid has quite the pucker factor, yikes

1

u/lennydsat62 1d ago

Well at least they’re using their PPE….

u/opanm 1d ago

u/RYzaMc 1d ago

I thought this was gonna be from the whatcouldgowrong reddit.

1

u/dave282life 1d ago

Why does the guy holding the saw remind me of khamzat chimaev? 🤣

1

u/moderndilf 1d ago

Crazy how the guy holding the “saw” isn’t even looking at the blade half the time

1

u/St_Kevin_ 1d ago

It’s soooo close to catching his beard and pulling his face into the blade

1

u/CaballoenPelo 1d ago

Why do women live longer

1

u/ElGrapadura1 1d ago

Very nice device to remove limbs. Charlie approves the device.

1

u/No_Collection7360 1d ago

That blade is a hair close to his beard. Wonder if it would cut through his face?

1

u/GabeIsGone 1d ago

They both look away at times too. Amazing.

1

u/benfok 1d ago

That's a crude version of the defingulator.

1

u/azeottaff 1d ago

What is Khabib Nurmagomedov doing???

1

u/milovulongtime 1d ago

And when someone loses a limb, they will call it an "Accident" instead of "Willful act of stupidity results in predictable outcome."

u/industriald85 1d ago

“Hold my be…ard”

1

u/supercodes83 1d ago

This has to be Dagestan

1

u/Golden-Grams 1d ago

I can understand an urge to do silly things, I think we all can. But there definitely has to be a limit, where you tell yourself "no", and this is one of them.

This is the type of stuff that I eventually see a safety video about. Regulations and rules are written in blood. And these guys, if they continue following dumb impulses, will learn those lessons the hardest way they can.

1

u/Ihopefullyhelp 1d ago

Crazy thing is, You get one body.

1

u/Lazy-Field-1116 1d ago

"the amputation came out of nowhere"

u/ssxhoell1 1d ago

That poor grinder

u/englishand48 1d ago

Absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong here, great invention, definitely use it everyday from now on😅😂

That beard is flirting with death

1

u/Frank_Likes_Pie 1d ago

Safety flip-flops engaged.

1

u/jeff-beeblebrox 1d ago

Cmon, where are your safety sandals?

1

u/ramma_lamma 1d ago

Jesus that beard is a liability in this situation

1

u/m0ran1 1d ago

It's all fun and giggles until someone loses a finger.

1

u/nogoodmorning4u 1d ago

This is why women live longer than men

1

u/Orcus424 1d ago

Those guys will lose some fingers before they make it to 40.

1

u/Imd1rtybutn0twr0ng 1d ago

Thinning the herd, one bad idea at a time. 🙄

1

u/catpissdust 1d ago

That beard was way too close to that blade...

1

u/kubadon1 1d ago

Funny now, isn’t it.

1

u/ssskip91 1d ago

I’m really impressed with the safety squints

1

u/angel700 1d ago

His beard is really close

1

u/BreakerOFWheels 1d ago

Seems safe

1

u/PhantomThiefJoker 1d ago

They trust each other too much

1

u/Imhidingfromu 1d ago

Seems like a bad idea

1

u/libra00 1d ago

Holy shit please keep that very far away from me. I'm not sure which of them is going to lose the most blood in that situation, but I don't want to stand close enough to find out.

1

u/No_Fig_1894 1d ago

Quick beard trim

1

u/MindOfAMurderer 1d ago

This is a great way to lose a couple fingers

1

u/Worldly_Possible2925 1d ago

I’ve never seen so much low IQ on display in one place at one time with such awful consequences.

"Hello. Could I speak to the health and safety officer please?"

1

u/TheSuperzorro 1d ago

Limbs are overrated anyway.

1

u/iPicBadUsernames 1d ago

If that blade touches a beard hair, it’s going to get messy real fast

1

u/LixPhot 1d ago

I was hoping Mr stupid beard was going to get a trim.

1

u/Supra-A90 1d ago

No PPE was damaged in the making.

u/2x4x93 1d ago

Look Ma! No brains!

One slip and it's hands off

u/MajorPoopie 22h ago

Catches beard in blade forcing head into blade forcing life out of body… it will happen one day…

u/Routine_Command_5428 1d ago

Its not the dumbest sht ive seen today... but its pretty damn close

1

u/holy_ninja 1d ago

Looks really unsafe

1

u/TomateBrain 1d ago

What's insane is how any of them still have 10 digits

1

u/Cryogenicist 1d ago

It’s the holding of the wood (rather than clamping it) which I find most moronic about this whole thing

1

u/shinjidsc 1d ago

Idk which is dumber holding the wood or the saw

1

u/this_is_not_a_dance_ 1d ago

Hold both and you have an American tech bro. Bonus points because it was someone else’s stupid idea first.

1

u/StopRandomAccBans 1d ago

I was waiting for beard and saw action

1

u/caparzo88 1d ago

I was waiting for him to get rapid beard shave but not this time.

That might be the dumbest shit I have seen without consequences in a good 2 weeks.
