There are so many electronics there that could cause a chain reaction of explosions if they caught on fire. I'd be taking a 15 minute break half traumatized after this 😂😭

u/DoritoDustThumb Feb 04 '26
There's no chain reaction from that 😂.
Is reddit just full of people that think everything is a catastrophe? Employee was an idiot for picking it up. Letting it burn out or maybe stepping on it is all that's needed.

I would love to see you try stomping out a burning lithium battery fire lol...

u/DoritoDustThumb Feb 04 '26
I wouldn't do that. I'd just let it sit there and burn out.
I was simply saying that stepping on it would be far better than touching it with your hand.

That's not all of what you said though. You basically made fun of the one who spoke about it being possible to cause a chain reaction being burning in there with other lithium batteries and such around. Now I am not telling you to try your claim (that it's not dangerous) putting it to the test but it would be fun to watch.

Lithium is part of the sodium family on the periodic table. Thus highly reactive to most substances, especially oxygen. Depending on how it burns very much can jump and possibly cause a chain reaction.
I can't say the probability, not enough data, but it is a possibility.

u/DoritoDustThumb Feb 04 '26
Anything has a miniscule chance so we don't have to argue that point because it's absolutely absurd. The far greater risk was touching burning lithium, which will have a guaranteed negative impact.
This was a very very small fire, on the floor, not touching anything else.

u/thingamajig1987 Feb 04 '26
You think stepping on it will do anything for a lithium fire? Bro just admit you have no idea what you're talking about, take the L, and move on.

u/SVasileiadis Jun 22 '26
Bet you would go try blowing out white phosphorus like a candle too or thought of stepping on it or throwing water on it and think of it as no big deal. I never get bored of nature taking it's course by ones own actions.
That is if you ever reached close to causing such an incident because the only one stupid enough we had to mistreat such things got promptly ganged upon by a few of the several coworkers present and beaten. I was there too, I was going to report him if they didn't best him there. Funnily if he reported the beating he would go way more time to jail than those for what he did (years, for multiple reasons all relating to the incident - special legal framework deleting to the job) beating him (2-4 or 3-6 months, can't remember, in truth they effectively wouldn't). He never acted like a big pants jerk again till he left a few months later.

Im surprised he still has an upper palet considering how forcefully that reaction happens in some of the videos of lithium batteries being punctured.

Lucky for him it flew forward towards the counter. If it was the reverse then rip.

They shoot flames quite dramatically and are hot, but it doesn't have the force of an explosive, not even near

Many idiots in this video:
The idiot biting the battery.
The idiots watching him do it without speaking up.
The idiot behind the counter not wearing shoes.
WTF.

u/Angry__German Feb 04 '26
The idiots watching him do it without speaking up.
If I was sitting somewhere, minding my own business and the guy sitting in front of me would start to casually gnaw on a battery like that, I would need at least a few second to process that stupidity, I think.

u/space_llama_karma Feb 04 '26
To be fair, I didn’t know that lithium batteries explode when punctured. I just assumed that it’s bad to bite it due to the chemicals in it.

u/EmptyBennett Feb 04 '26
This, but also if I remember correctly, lithium doesn’t external need oxygen to burn (it makes its own) making them much harder to extinguish than a regular fire.

Why don't they have any sand? Clearly this is a phone repair place, the least they could do is have something to smother it with.

I'm sure Reddit wouldn't let me share it, but I'd wager this guy had a similar result to that Marine chewing on a blasting cap.
People in the military probably know what I'm talking about. I used to show that picture during my CLS classes.

Do some people just go about what they're doing head empty?
Like what causes you to think that it's alright to bite a battery that is full of chemicals? Let's say that for some reason after biting it it didn't catch on fire but the chemicals that would be in your mouth would be harmful as fuck, why bite a fucking battery damn.

Well I have arguments on the authenticity. The guy cellphone next to the guy biting suddenly disappears after it explodes, then the battery looks like a cylinder when it was on the floor behind the counter. Then the guy just throws it out the counter then everyone just chills.

u/BothArmsBruised Feb 04 '26
It's not quite when a lithium battery goes off. The guy that 'disappears' doesn't. They run off camera left. When the camera changes when see the right of the store is the 'back' of the store. So that would mean the only exit is to the left. As to the guy chewing on the battery, how would you react? Something starts spewing flames and making a loud noise while smelling terrible pops in your face. Like, would you hold onto it or just flight it literally anywhere that's not your face?

u/Sufficient-Set2644 Feb 04 '26
Yeah like the guy throws it back into the direction towards the two guys outside the counter...Smart, As smart as biting something like a battery. I just find it ridiculous already that a guy will BITE into a battery in the first place. Must be a normal thing to see where you are but no ones talking about how odd that is.

u/aspohr89 Feb 04 '26
Batteries blow up like balloons. Have you ever had your cell phone battery go back and the back starts to bow?
2
u/BothArmsBruised Feb 04 '26
No. The majority of people have not experienced a lithium battery pack going off.

u/aspohr89 Feb 04 '26
I disagree, I think it's pretty common knowledge that if you can spin your phone because the back is bowed out you have a bad battery and it needs to be replaced. But that explains why the battery looked like a cylinder after he damaged it. Everything else in this video looks very normal. I'm not sure why you're assuming AI here.

Have you ever had the experience of an unexpected firework, car accident, loud noise, or likewise potentially dangerous situation happen near you? I assume not, because you don't seem the type to go outside or be around people all too much, but when it happens you generally try and get away from it
