Dude Removes Wasp’s Nest With a Firework Machine Gun
Removing a wasp’s nest isn’t easy.
Published 11 months ago in Ftw
Removing a wasp’s nest isn’t easy. You either have to flush them out with insecticide, move the nest using a container or create a barricade between your living space and the nest using deterrent sprays — likely getting stung by the bastards every step of the way.
Alternatively, you could just use a firework machine gun.

In this video, a pair of dudes attach a box of fireworks to a piece of dried bamboo, creating a makeshift handle from which they can aim their fireworks.
After lighting, the first few fireworks miss the wasp’s nest completely — then, one firework manages to strike the thing, causing it to explode into hundreds of pieces (and, likely, dozens of incredibly angry wasps).

Naturally, a lot of people in the responses were quick to say that doing this is a surefire way to start a forest fire. While that may be true, I have a salient counterpoint: It looks really, really cool. Shouldn’t that be enough?

Whoever said fireworks weren’t practical?
China and India Are At War With Each Other and They’re Fighting With Sticks and Stones
China and India don’t have the *best* relationship.
Published 11 months ago in Facepalm
China and India don’t have the *best* relationship. While they’ve never really gone toe-to-toe with each other, India has been trying to do a balancing act between reaching westward and trying to maintain a relationship with China — a difficult feat that’s resulted in more than a few dustups.
For example, 2020 and 2021 saw a host of border skirmishes between the two nations, largely involving a 2,100-mile-long disputed area in the Himalayas. Although both sides seemed ready to let the fighting begin, no one wanted to be the first to fire a gunshot — and so, they went at each other with anything they could. Now, this appears to be happening again, according to a recent post on X/Twitter.
Insane that two BRICS are actually at war but it doesn’t count as they’re resolving it Looney Tunes style https://t.co/fi12ilbIV8

It’s unclear where or when this video takes place (this sort of stuff just happens sometimes), but it’s pretty similar to other disputes between the two nations. There’s a bit of arguing, a little pushing for further ground — then, when both groups decide to throw reason to the wind, the stones begin to fly.
My best guess is that this is old footage from a previous dispute, as there’s no new stories of such conflicts happening at the border presently. But if they’re really going at it again, I would recommend strapping up next time — not with guns, but with the fun stuff.
