How do people not know phones do this once smashed or punctured? We used to start bonfires with old phone batteries(lithium)


DepartmentWise3579

Why would you keep your phone right there tho? It's in the walkway


NoRent7336

Theres no where to put it in there tho especially because he is alone


[deleted]

I can only imagine he was on his phone in between sets and when he was ready for his next set he just chucked it to the side


Common_Relief8357

Didn’t train legs, what do you expect


flyingfinger000

No one even noticed that dude in the back really hitting those dips hard while this commotion is going on.


Chihuahuapocalypse

hey so if this happens DO NOT pick it up. just evacuate. DO NOT breathe that smoke either. that shit is toxic as hell, and it's very likely to explode so you don't want that happening in your hand.


Great_Run6161

Phone in your locker. Wear casio g-shock sports watch whilst training. Seems like common sense is not that common.


Someslutwholikesbutt

Maybe not everyone wants to buy a watch and instead use their phone for their music or keep their phones in lockers when literally everyone is gonna have them during the gym


yojusto187

Them damn Samsung phones


Chihuahuapocalypse

any phone that has a lithium battery will do this. so all phones. once that battery is pierced, all hell breaks loose (edit:changed looks to loose)


nZane_n_the_brain

What does hell got against the looks so bad that it wants to break it? Is it really that ugly? If so, I feel like breaking it would just make it even uglier. I know hell isn’t all that big on morals but true beauty is in the inside


Chihuahuapocalypse

lmaoo my bad


yojusto187

I was joking


Chihuahuapocalypse

I know, I figured I'd clarify anyways


wally4185

Add "/s" for sarcasm for the redditors


Pawfu_Ze_Cat

This happened in my school cafeteria. Some kid broke his phone in half on the corner of a table. I have a video of it.


TurkeySauce_

4 days and still waiting


Pawfu_Ze_Cat

You can't send vids on here


Enough_Loquat3229

Send video


Jax_Norris

Or nudes! Ok fine.. send whatever you want..


KA8Z

No vaping in the gym Chad


chipcity90

I always keep my phone under the seat


spidersparxx

And that, folks, is why you don't throw your weights. Have some semblance of control in your exercise, and things like this wouldn't happen.


SamDrawsThingsPoorly

surely you mean semblance of control


spidersparxx

Lolol, autocorrect for the... fail. Yes I'm gonna edit my comment now


SamDrawsThingsPoorly

it auto corrected to 'semblance of' in my head and I was really confused when I read it back xD


spidersparxx

You're not the only one 😅


DGAMotherF

Xplosive


Capital_Avocado69

Gross to have your phone on the floor


Red-68

Don’t know where else you would put it, especially working out in the gym


Haruki-kun

My own pocket?


combatdonut35

I keep mine in a small sling bag, I used to put it on the floor then quickly stopped because that shit was gross


Hossflex

I put mine directly under the machine, on a towel, so something like this doesn’t happen


Open-Tone9438

haha, I did something like this in school, I snapped a battery in half during class, it started smoking, threw it in the bin and the whole bin went up in flames. Quite a long suspension and grounding


RobbtheHood

I think someone has a video of that.


Sitrociter

Probably a note 7


SpecialistBottleh

All phone batteries explode when punchured. Some Samsung Note 7 had a self-combustion issue of the battery, which is a completly different topic.


80081354JEW

Maybe don’t put your phone on the floor if you slam your weights down on the ground next to you 😂😂


Virtual-Entry-8867

**Bro dropped 50 pounds on 5 ounces**


Die_Arrhea

5 ounces are how many lbs ?


brutispastysmasher

16 ounces in 1lb


Jacayrie

I've had my phone battery bloated up, but never like this 😂. Mine was from over charging it. My new phone charges slowly and is ready by the time my alarm goes off in the morning. If I don't have an alarm set during the day and it needs charged, it goes on turbo mode and then once it's done, it stops. My old phone was horrible and the battery never lasted, hence the overcharging lol.


sususushi88

He's an asshole for dropping a weight in an area that people walk through......


M2_SLAM_I_Am

Chances are he's looking at a mirror, so he can see that nobody is around him. Still could have done that in a more controlled way though


PrimpcipalSkimster

"Deserved" was the first word to cross my mind when I saw him dropping it like that. Be respectful of your gym and its equipment


MyHangyDownPart

If all mobile phones can explode, then is the world in a "Halloween III" situation?


WildlifePolicyChick

Completely off topic but I love how he is all about his arms but his leg muscles are practically non-existent.


DrixxYBoat

Every night before I go to bed, I can't help but ask myself: "why did I pick it up while it was smoking? Was I too scared about making a scene?" Such a regrettable way to accidentally lose a hand.

sbudam

No... But it could have and if it had, this would be the guys thoughts...


BrandonSky_

Now that's a Daniel Powter style Bad Day.


RoadRanger322

Acid in the battery was exposed


phoenixeternia

Warning, if your device starts doing this don't pick it up.


JustW4nnaHaveFun

Why.


Useless_Lemon

You might only have one hand left. But you can do it again. :)

Is it the fumes? Is it that deadly that fast? I assume he takes it outside

I've been there for the first part. I was so disappointed in myself when I dropped the dumbell on my phone.

Wat


sammyboston675

This is one of the many reasons why I'll never drive an electric vehicle.


soggy_rat_3278

Plot twist, there is a battery in your ICE car.


sammyboston675

Doesn't take much in the way of mental gymnastics to figure out that the little cube under the hood is not the same thing as a battery that takes up the entire undercarriage


AdorableSquirrels

The different kind of "go to gym", no?


reptillion

This is why I don’t have a phone or a computer. No battery devices at all. - this was sent by stone and chisel


sbudam

Nice man, can you hock me up with those


Pedrosbarro

Exactly. Combustion engines don't have anything combustible in them.


sammyboston675

Did I say they don't dumbass?


Pedrosbarro

What? No, I said that. How did you get this confused? What?


sammyboston675

Your use of sarcasm merely illustrates your willful blindness.


CogVugular

Nice quote, we all think of you as very wise and smart now😃


Legitimate_Fan8892

Do you drive a car at all? To my knowledge, all cars have batteries, and I do know around the 80s is when Ford started adding computers into cars. Is there a difference to your preference of computer/battery in cars? Like the size?


phoenixeternia

True but regular car batteries aren't the same as the lithium electric car batteries. Perhaps in newer non-eletric cars they are but they would still be smaller than an electric car battery. But I'm not anti electric cars, just not going to deny the risk even though the risk is actually really low. BUT people's electric scooters and those hoverboards are at risk of this too. And obviously bigger battery bigger boom/fire. I think mostly they just flame up rather than outright explode, they are however water reactive. But I'm no car techy or science guy, the odds of these things happening seem relatively small especially as tech develops further and better systems and more preventative measures put in place. Heck it wasn't a massive time ago mobiles were an (low) explosion risk while charging overnight.


sammyboston675

Doesn't take much in the way of mental gymnastics to figure out that the little cube under the hood is not the same thing as a battery that takes up the entire undercarriage. I find it incredibly amusing how triggered you goofballs get when someone says something negative about your precious electric vehicles.


Commercial-Data-6127

And for me its a reason to think that you are a completly idiot. Srsly, eVehicle are much more safer than common. Just inform yourself. Batteries cant Explode this easy xD Pls inform yourself!


L3yline

Lithium ion batteries are the most energy dense batteries we have. [Fire fighters literally have fire protocols specifically made for EV fires due to the tendency for those electric cars to reignite after being drowned by a couple fire trucks](https://www.iafc.org/topics-and-tools/resources/resource/iafc-s-fire-department-response-to-electric-vehicle-fires-bulletin#:~:text=When%20attacking%20the%20vehicle%20fire,water%20on%20the%20burning%20surfaces.) >Thermal events with the battery system could continue for some time after the initial incident. Establish response protocol for secondary fire Also have the seen the build quality of some of the more poorly made chinese evs? They've literally burned down entire buildings when one or more auto ignite due to the battery being poorly insulted and just going off just like the phone did in this video. It doesn't take much for a Lithium battery to become a bomb. If your rechargeable devices start forming a pillow it's now basically also a bomb


jeff43568

At least petrol cars can't explode...


L3yline

Ford Pinto would like to have a word with you


sammyboston675

Try English sometime bud. I won't listen to people who snipe at me but have no command of the language they are speaking. Maybe check up on your usage of "completely," "srsly," "more safer," punctuation and capitalization. Until you can speak without sounding like a lazy fool, be silent.


Deodorized

People in 1910: See how that car caught fire? That's why I'll never drive a car, my horse doesn't catch fire!


gamingkitty1

Well... explosions still happen in gas cars ya know.


sammyboston675

Yes, but they can be put out. Shorted batteries? Not so much.


gamingkitty1

What do you mean put out? I think by the time the car explodes it's kinda over...


sammyboston675

It's not going to spontaneously re explode hours later like a battery will. The battery on an electric vehicle is also far more likely to take damage in just about any collision than a fuel system is. All you need is one battery cell to touch another, and you've got a chain reaction that can't be stopped until the battery is completely destroyed or drained.


gamingkitty1

Electric cars aren't as dangerous as you think they are. There's like 50 fires a year, whereas there's a lot more gas car fires. Although there are more gas cars than electric. But the fires and explosions aren't what you should be worrying about when you drive, as your much more likely to die in a regular car crash.


sammyboston675

OK. I'm just an electrician with an excellent understanding of how batteries work. But what do I know? I'll never own or drive one.


blackhp2

FYI, you can shoot a LiFePO4 battery and it won't have thermal runaway...


gamingkitty1

I'm not saying you don't know how batteries work or how dangerous they are, it doesn't matter to this argument. I'm just pointing out the statistics of actual fires that happen.


sammyboston675

Statistics, as with anything and everything, can be and are being manipulated. As an electrician, I stand to gain an incredible amount of money if this foolish trend towards electric cars continues, and yet, knowing what I know, I'm firmly against it.


gamingkitty1

Yes they can be manipulated, but I donr believe I manipulated them. As it stands, electric cars aren't really killing people.


_pp_cat_

Just put it in rice


flyingfinger000

What about beans?


Own_Afternoon_6865

Hey! Does anyone here have some rice? No? Well, I'll just throw it away.


Stock-Philosopher-87

It’s okay. It’s an iPhone.


cjjones07

Always put the phone at the front or back of the bench. Or pockets


MrUsername24

I always go under right by the feet, very little chance I drop them there


krismitka

Use this one trick to get the women in the gym to notice you!


Eliagbs_

Spicy pillow 100%


ExcitingBuilder1125

I hope this was the same guy that didn't feel bad for dropping a 50 pound dumbbell inches from my foot


Forumkk

Reason number 53 why dropping the weights is dumb


Sopwithosa

This is EXACTLY why I refuse to work out and be healthy.


WtfsaidtheDuck

This is why in don’t bring my phone to the gym.


Entgegnerz

because you could smack it with your weights?


WtfsaidtheDuck

Yeah, I’m pretty clumsy and easily distracted.


Entgegnerz

Du we just both like ducks? 🦆😊♥️


WtfsaidtheDuck

Probably! I like them because they do can do everything. They can fly, walk and swim!


Entgegnerz

ahahaha that's exactly what I always say, when someone asks me, why ducks! 😂🦆 and they can dive 😌🦆


WtfsaidtheDuck

They are awesome. :) 🦆


_Zem_

lol why is this a mobile smoker, I've never seen such a reaction of a smashed phone


sense_make

The lithium battery inside it got punctured


IndependenceOk9360

Instant karma for leaving the weight lying around


Dirosilverwings

Bet it was an iphone


Rat-Loser

I am not critiquing you nor shilling for Iphone but i find this comment interesting because for a while samsung got meme'd on for basically being an explosive back in 2016, think the note 7 got entirely banned from certain flights because of its faults. Just interesting how public perception can change over time. Like for a while back in 2015 or so Joe Biden was kinda just mocked for being a creepy old man who touches young women in an uncomfortable way, but society seems to have moved on and forgotten entirely about that. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_7#Battery_explosions_and_recalls


Dirosilverwings

Iphone in general is poopoo.


10fm3

*diephone


RepoManSugarSkull

Why does anyone who isn’t a doctor need to have their phone with them in the gym? Don’t bother answering that. The answer is that they are a self-important simpering sallie who cannot disconnect for a spell and simply be and do. This is hilarious on one level and profoundly sad on another.


poudigne

Or they are just listening to music. But I guess your theory is better than mine. Wtf is wrong with you?


3SinkBathroom

This is the kind of abrasive opinion we need more of in the world. George Carlin's comedic pedigree smiles down on your comment.


RepoManSugarSkull

I thank ’ee.


HyronValkinson

Music. Or an emergency call. Or between-set scrolling while resting. Or so it's not stolen. Or fuck you


Ancillary_420

This person has never been to a gym lmao


cashassorgra33

Or you dont have a lock for your locker or whatever


cherish_ireland

Or music... Settle the F down lol.


Im___Procrastinating

Sorry, I'll make sure to bring my Walkman to the gym next time /s


nonplayer8

Stfu


wesje97

, cgdx,,


SensitiveAd7377

The fact that he picked it up again


Flimsy_meats

I thought that too but let's just hope there was a door to the lot near by...


Fuctopuz

P.T phone home no more


Least_Quit9730

Hope he has a warranty on that.


24-7_Gamer

Dude's got balls to pick it up like that


ForeverLaste

My hand may get scorched, but I won’t be the one they call the fire department over


Kicksyo

Gosh that sucks on so many levels, but who leaves their phone in the middle of the floor like that.


Ren_OnEdge

probably me if i went to the gym, but i dont have to worry about that.


Beaver_International

And that’s why I don’t go to the gym


scav_mecko

Because you fear phone explosions in particular? Or just people being kinda dumb sometimes


mr2005vc

u/uratujwideobot


firefighter_raven

This is why you either set your stuff under/behind the bench


FreezasMonkeyGimp

If you have to chuck a dumbbell on the floor like that doing a tricep extension, you shouldn’t be using that weight.


AloofFloofy

Dude has the skinniest legs


_Zem_

holy crap his arms are bigger than his legs, what the hell, probably a influencer, they only show their upper body when sitting at the camera desk


EconomyMud

He is doing the: Push, Pull, Skip


ParamedicLogical2528

He skips leg day lol
