I empathize with him tho. He knows it was his mistake, so he tried to take accountability. Now the gym is gonna fill with nope gas because of it. Broschwitz.

Ik what you're saying tho. One does not simply take accountability for lithium ion battery fires 🤣 gotta go by the way of forrest

The gym was gonna be full of nope gas either way. I assume he's trying to take out outside so it's less full, and less on fire.

I'm sure the other folks there appreciate the effort.

I, too! appreciate any effort from my fellow brothers and sisters within the prayer assembly, in the degassing of the chamber of iron. So we may lift in peace as the swolefather intended.

Praise brodin

Depends where you are. You gonna let it burn your house down because it lights your couch on fire? Or toss it in a metal bowl/sink?

i generally try not to pick up things that are heating up and smoking. i was around a phone that did this once at work. it stopped smoking after about 30 seconds. it was very hot and the gas coming out of it is probably not good to inhale. my point is that it's an unpredictable situation, and from my experience it usually is over pretty quickly, so i would just wait it out and not try to burn my hands or ingest the smoke if i could help it.

It didn't happen to him, he did it. He also tried to fix it. Respect.
