YouTube idiot cemented his head inside a microwave

As far as I can tell, the general gist of the idea was to effective create a concrete 'helmet' as a 'oh my god he actually did it lol' sort of deal, using the microwave as a head sized mould. Where this plan fell apart was the moment they realised that the concrete had, in fact, stuck to the microwave as well. Thus it was impossible to remove the concrete that they might otherwise have tried to chip away at; this just getting worse when the airtube got blocked.
Still dumb as hell.

Staggering. I can understand why we have videos of Extreme Sports or Base Jumping or whatever stunts as there's a considerable rush for the subject & to a degree, a reasonable amount of training or understanding of the risks involved.
And as much as I hate videos of Kids climbing tall structures & hanging off the edge with no safety equipment, again, I can see what they're trying to accomplish.
However, I cannot for the life of me figure out what they was trying to accomplish with this.
Reminds me of that Dickhead in Russia who blew self up trying to impress his friends by taking a picture of a grenade with the pin removed.

So just a reminder someone could have died needlessly because this fuckwit thought this was a good idea. Honestly I can't help but feel he should have been given a chisel and left to work it out himself, but of course they can't. How the fuck the firemen and ambulance crew ain't giving him a colossal dressing down on wasting their time I have no idea.
Again, 'oh my god he actually did it'. People (often unfortunately) find novelty in the proposition of something being clearly dumb and then doing it anyway.
Well, the firefighters were. What do ambulance crews do during down time?
Let's not use these words, please. Thank you.
I'm sure the first responders will be hurrying the next time a 911 call comes in from his location.
It's called Jackass for the YouTube generation.
Remember Jack Ass? It's basically fucking morons being fucking morons. Just the homemade version of which your security team is in fact the tax payer.
I can't see how people are struggling to comprehend that despite being exposed to this kind of shit with Jack Ass

Totally and completely understandable to be pissed off but you can't bill someone for "really stupid emergencies" because you can't clearly define "really stupid"—even though this particular one would hardly be an edge case.
Also, part of the social contract is that emergency services should help everyone they can, stupid or not.
We evolved through the millennia, favoring brain before brawn. Adapting to a wild uncaring world, building communities and learning how to use nature to our benefit. We domesticated animals, spread throughout the world. Building languages, culture and technology. We went through different societal structures, ultimately trying to create a world that gives us the uncensored freedom to express our individuality and our dreams. Technology boomed, allowing us instant worldwide communication, manmade artificial intelligences and letting us slowly reach towards the stars.
All culminating in a modern messiah nearly giving his life, wearing a concrete microwave oven over his head for the pleasure and amusement of all mankind. We should be grateful.

Huh? Emergency services are funded by their taxes, it's literally their job to save people from their stupid shit.

Emergency services are under enough pressure without idiots. Emergency services are there to save people who are ill or hurt. They shouldn't have to put up with saving people who do stupid shit for views
And, he was hurt. Just because his pain was the result of his idiocy doesn't make it any less valid.

I apologise for using such words.
On topic, it's a symptom of the whole "race for social media likes and views" - even if it means risking lives. I seem to remember one story where a teenage girl addicted to taking selfies tried taking one on top of a train. She was hit by the train and died instantly as a result.
fair point, i can see why deciding who "deserves" it and who doesn't could set a dangerous precedent.
The truly sad part is the guy who cements his head in a microwave probably makes more money than most of us slaving away for 40+ hours :(
Not really, I don't like the idea of emergency services being denied to someone for their "stupidity." Nor the idea that services must only be allocated on utilitarian basis, where stopping to help one "idiot" somehow jeopardizes an apartment burning down. I'm sure emergency services are smart enough to understand how to juggle various calls coming in simultaneously.
I find it comforting knowing that there is someone on the complete opposite end of the intelligence spectrum somewhere out there, and they will inevitably go on to create wonders for humankind.
Ok, you don't get what they're saying.
They're just pointing out that dumbass attention-seekers like this are adding unnecessary numbers to an already overburdened system. And perhaps maybe people should stop being so fucking stupid and selfish.

Nowhere did I say I want them to die. I said it is disgusting they are making money of this "prank". They can not even be assed to donate the ad rev to the people that saved his life. Add that to how stretched our emergency services are already, it is far worse then just being a idiot and getting hurt
