Millennial anti-theft device

The ultimate in millenial idiocy - a Swiss hotel now offers social media "pros" to manage your instagram account so you can enjoy the sights without having to lug that heavy phone around all the time...

Nice one. That video is hilarious!

It's almost like millennials are getting sick of...millennials. The signal-to-noise ratio of social media is stunning, and I can speak from experience. To post 5-10 interesting tidbits on the forum every day, I've been scanning through over 1,200-1,500 social media postings every morning. So we're well under 1% signal, and that's after sorting out for DIY and mechanical or hobbyist channels that are most likely to contain something relevant to us.

And of all the social medial channels, Instagram is by far the worst.

I couldn't help but notice the Bush beer can prominently occupying the scene which does in fact suggest redneck in nature Not sure if it fully applies here but one guy sure almost had toasted marshmallows as shown from 0.03 to 0.04 The guy holding the vacuum hose was also finger farking his cell phone suggesting the other sub species within the millennial sector. Pouring gas into a funnel with a hose attached using one's thumb as the shut off valve classic fluid flow control 101
However even using stop frame action I don't find an ignition source being applied could this mean the fumes created by the rapid air flow became statically charged to the point of self ignition via static electricity created by the velocity of escaping air from the end of the tube was actually a scientific experiment? with limited to no safety protocols being followed.

I saw this captioned as "redneck flame thrower", but of course I would never use such a culturally insensitive slur (I believe the politically correct phrasing is: "Differently Necked American").

Thus, I re-name this: "Millennial Flame Thrower".

I like how he saves the day at the end by taking the gas container inside the house.

When I saw the 'still' photo with its headline, the ONLY thing that was a real shocker, when I viewed the video, was that the guy on fire didn't fall on his face when running with his shorts at his ankles! Luckily for all of involved -and us- he wasn't going "commando" that day!!

Nearly(*) everything else was expected!! (* - Except as someone mentioned already... bringing the gas can inside??? Though it wouldn't have been totally ruled out, it was still a bit of a bonus to capture that moment on video, too!)

Chuckle.

Yes, it's always entertaining to watch rednecks become their own stereotype. It's hard to believe that that much stupidity can be compressed into a mere three pounds of nerve tissue (I hesitate to use the word 'brain' in this context).
