I'm so glad the pets are okay and sincerely wish the best to that family.
That out of the way—dogs are fucking hilarious when something as serious as their house on fire but they have no context so they just stare and bark at the new thing.
We don't deserve such innocent, silly creatures
It's simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. I can feel their panic.
"Oh no, I did a bad. Go away bad. Oh no, oh no, they're going to find out I did a bad chew. Bad away! Bad away now! Why is this not working?"
I'm fucking bookmarking this comment and coming back every time I need a chuckle
What the hell kind of flame retardants are in that doggie bed?!?
Battery fires are exotherm AFAIK and get very hot, flame retardants can probably only slow everything down.
Right I'm saying they work hella good
I accidentally punctured a maybe 30% charged battery while attempting a display swap on my phone a couple years back. The thing started a nasty hissing sound and smoked like crazy. I was glad to live on ground level and was able to throw the thing onto concrete tiles in the backyard. Lithium battery energy density is no joke.
Not to mention if it was sitting around it was probably pretty full.
What apps/settings do y'all use so that removedant doesnt get replaced with removedant?
Edit: Jerboa doesn't let me say it but you get the idea. What a piece of removed
Edit 2: It's my instance, lemmy.ml
Its your instance, not an app. Switch to anything other than Lemmy.ml and you too can say fuck all you want.
It's your instance. lemmy.ml doesn't allow most swear words.
Ah, the good old Scunthorpe problem.
I wondered the same thing myself
Dog was charged with arson and shot by local PD.
Nah, the dog is white. He just got a slap on the wrist.
It's running for fire chief
A paid slap on the wrist, mind you.
New fear unleashed!
And that guy doesn't even have a dog /s
WHAT ABOUT THE CAT
The cat went and found the fire extinguisher, but decided to not use it. Food bowl has been low lately.
Maybe it wasn't the food bowl 🤔
Cat as it gets the hell out of dodge: "I fucking told these humans the dogs were a bad idea!"
Those dogs. "Finally! The gift of Prometheus! ...Now what?"
All pets survived.
What a nightmare!
How did the dogs not die from the fumes tho? That shit kills quickly usually.
It's just a little power pack. Plenty enough to start a house fire, but I don't think just being nearby for a few minutes is enough to drop you dead, or electric car crashes would be a death sentence
Electric car crash fires would be a near instant death sentence if the car were in an enclosed space. Also if you are trapped in you car with the battery fully on fire you obviously wont survive but usually people die from other causes before that becomes an issue.
People keep dying because their faulty e bikes catch fire in their homes. With this small battery, humans would have enough time to escape, but these dogs stood there for minutes.
Being low probably helped a lot
Thank god the gems are safe!
So glad the dogs (and cat) got out safely. What a freak accident!
Some dogs like to see the world burn.
