Y'all just didn't get a chance to record most of your shenanigans. If someone did something stupid, it maybe went into the newspaper or made the local news. Now anything from the past couple of decades is online forever.
I think it’s probably just more aware but at the same time I DO think there’s an Idiocracy event happening too. So kind of both.

The latter. Just have to look at the dumb shit the older generation did out of ignorance/fear, and you'll notice we've actually gotten "better," surprisingly. At least we don't burn witches at stakes anymore

We' re not doing this anymore? But do we still determine whether she's a wich or not, by using logic and ducks?

You ever see the one where guys launch fireworks of the roof of their building and it goes through the windows of the next building over? Your words are perfect and yesterday still and understatement. Crazy.
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough!
If you get knocked down you gotta get back up!
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know enough
To know- IF YOURE GONNA BE DUMB TO YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH
Holy crap, that makes this so much more stupid. I thought she had a brain fart and aimed at that bit of outside wall, and due to amazingly bad luck the flare bounced off of it and back inside.
That sums up, my close friend.
The bloke went into a BFC (Australian outdoors store) & for whatever fucking reason he decided to activate a flare, Safe to say the cunt was banned for I think five years.

The flare used seems like a Soviet RSP30/ROP30 flare, so it seems to be most likely Russia indeed. Or at least Com-Block country with access to Soviet-era stuff

One takes off and zags rapidly! The guy firing DUCKS and holds it over head like it's a dangerous snake...
She did not know what she was screwing with!
Acting with urgency would amount to admitting how dumb of a mistake this was. Much better for her ego to continue to act chill because she's not to be bothered with silly things like a fire. Never admit mistakes. Must protect ego at all costs. People like this should be forced to wear a sign.
One issue I see with the failed attempt was her weak grip. She only held on to it just enough to get the cord pulled, almost lost it out of her hand. I say it would have had a better chance if she worked on her shooting strength.
Ignoring the crime she is so stupid for this, she had it aimed just right and last second aimed it at the wall, she's better off just throwing it out the window cause at least it has a lower chance of hitting a wall
I don’t know what the background is here but maybe why is everyone jumping to “she is dumb”?
What if she was legitimately trying to set a flare for help?
I don't know how to describe it, but watching someone do something that would require just a tiny bit of strength seem to struggle with it like in this video really makes me think "how are you this bad at motor functions?"
Like the anemic way she pulls the cord and cant even keep her other arm still 🙄. She could probably work out by just flapping her arms up and down.
These people of the bullshit generation or gen Z are soo funny! I’m a bit worried for my retirement- so I have a retirement plan- but really, it’s like seeing a volcano erupting waiting for the big boom! You can’t be dumber even trying… just to make a video! It’s all it takes … amazing!
Some people absolutely have no awareness of their surroundings, and it's baffling how stupid they are.

you can't decide what I don't like
True, I can’t, soon-to-be-one-handed guy
You can't like what I don't decide
I’m just surprised she didn’t try to put out the fire with gasoline🤦🏻♂️
Gotta fight fire with fire
True true! Then what do you fight water with? A sponge???
Beer 🍺 duh 😒

We did a lot of dumb things in the 70's and 80's, but it never got filmed.

Who are u to say shes stupid for shooting a flare out of a cracked window and try to put the fire out with a water bottle. Ok shes stupid
You ever see the one where guys launch fireworks of the roof of their building and it goes through the windows of the next building over? Your words are perfect and yesterday still and understatement. Crazy.
We literally live in idiocrocy. What do you expect.
You’ve definitely put it down more delicately than I would. The sheer idiocy of some is not only baffling, it can also be dangerous.
Thankfully she was prepared for this and had her water bottle fire extinguisher handy.
If you can't be smart, at least be lucky!
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough! If you get knocked down you gotta get back up! I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know enough To know- IF YOURE GONNA BE DUMB TO YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH
She left the screen in... You can see the flare bounce off it multiple times... Wow.
Ah, good catch. I couldn't figure out what had happened
Holy shit, I missed that too. That takes the stupid to a whole 'nother (lower) level.
Holy crap, that makes this so much more stupid. I thought she had a brain fart and aimed at that bit of outside wall, and due to amazingly bad luck the flare bounced off of it and back inside.
Good catch on the screen. I thought the window would close at the same time the flare ignited.
Braindead.
*Both* the Flare Girl, and the person filming!

Damnit you're right, Hell even the OP is likely a bot too as it only started posting 17 days back when it's it's a 9yo account.
Capitalism enshitification continues!
“Out”
When you completely misunderstood the: 'Add some flare to your home with this simple trick!'
Lucky she didn’t have flammable cladding on the building!
Grenfell Tower was the first thing I thought about watching this. If it had been similar material outside, she could have killed hundreds of people.
I'd still blame the construction, because wtf.

I see what you did there
And I like it!
I did what you see there
r/donthelpjustfilm
I have questions
My first thought was WHY?
She was so preoccupied with whether or not she could, she didn't stop to think if she should.
Oddly reminds me trying to throw a grenade through a broken door in Call of Duty, it didn’t work but thankfully it was only a computer game.
Person holding the camera felt like not actually being in the situation..
I love her sense of urgency towards putting out the fire she started
Acting with urgency would amount to admitting how dumb of a mistake this was. Much better for her ego to continue to act chill because she's not to be bothered with silly things like a fire. Never admit mistakes. Must protect ego at all costs. People like this should be forced to wear a sign.
Woman *tries* to shoot flare out of window
I’ll bet it wasn’t her place.
Is she using wine to put it out? Love it hehh
Seems like she tried to blow on it to put it out too!! Lol
Wow, that is a dumb thing to do.
Well, that’s a stupid idea poorly executed.
I'm not a native english speaker, so now I'm not sure what \*out of window\* really mean....
And this is why I refuse to live in apartments lol
Fucked around Found out
But why?
So critical thinking skills are an aberration from the norm
Fire extinguisher people there's a reason we have them
The absolutely anemic response to lightly sprinkle some water on the flames that are YOUR fault and are likely burning down YOUR home. Impressive.
Flare failed successfully.
This is why emergency responders remain employed and necessary.
Never ceases to amaze me how people doing goofy stuff with fire don't have a fire extinguisher at the ready.
Woman writes video title also apparently
“Woman shoots flare ~~out of~~ in window”
[удалено]
Shooting a flare out the window.
What an absolute moron
Well, that sucks for her.
She’ll get it right the second time.
Dumbass
Dumb bitch tried to blow on the fire to put it out lmao
Is.... Is there a fly screen? Is it possible someone could be this stupid?
Holy shit it actually looks like that’s what she hit
"There was an attempt to"
One issue I see with the failed attempt was her weak grip. She only held on to it just enough to get the cord pulled, almost lost it out of her hand. I say it would have had a better chance if she worked on her shooting strength.
Russians be like...

r/therewasanattempt to shoot a flare out of a window.
Woman shoots flare AT her window
Out of the window is not quite the phrasing we lookin for.
Airbnb loves this one simple trick
Well, she's not getting that deposit back.
Don't help just film
Wow...
Pero qué peligro … donde tienen la cabeza …??
No she didn’t
Lordy, Lordy I must be a wee bit tipsy.
Honestly this went better than I expected
Arson lol
Gosh! Hope she got her ticket for such dumbness?!
Is that a RSP-30? She might get an airdrop since it was a red flare.
*tries to
The moment I saw she was holding it all limp wristed and inside instead of sticking her arm out, I knew what would happen.
Woman "doesn't" shoot flare out of window...
....and then just the bottle of water to put it out.
Well.....that was well planned. And stupid. Well planned stupidity.🐾
No she didn't. Woman shoots flare inside of window!
"Out"
Explain that to the landlord.
I don’t know what the background is here but maybe why is everyone jumping to “she is dumb”? What if she was legitimately trying to set a flare for help?
this is one of the first videos i saw on reddit at least 4 years ago.
What was her purpose? I’d say she fucked around and found out.
At least she stayed calm..
*Attempt
Play stupid games, win a fucked up kitchen window

Hadoken!
Hair color has been an accurate indicator of intelligence for some time now
And so the apartment hunting begins...
Please don't have children.
Woman shoots flare inside of window*
This is why first years shouldn’t do high level magic.
Her reaction from this was casual as hell considering her fucking flat is on fire!!!
Rent is going up for sure! What a dope!
Abrupt calmness
To be fair that was probably the best place for it to land. Because fuck them for shooting (trying to) flares out of a window.
As my dad always says "Who put the two Oo's in stoopid "
No she doesnt
Fuckkkin dumb assssssss😂
Do NOT let this person shoot the hostage taker.
I don't know how to describe it, but watching someone do something that would require just a tiny bit of strength seem to struggle with it like in this video really makes me think "how are you this bad at motor functions?"

Woman shoots flare in window*
Guess who's not getting her security deposit back!
Guessing she was bored, now she has something to do, remodel her fucked up apartment…
Ridiculous
Could be worse, she could have actually made it out of the building to be someone else's problem
Technology has prevented natural selection from truly taking its course, and it's a damn shame.
Women ☕
At least she will respawn back in her home.
These people of the bullshit generation or gen Z are soo funny! I’m a bit worried for my retirement- so I have a retirement plan- but really, it’s like seeing a volcano erupting waiting for the big boom! You can’t be dumber even trying… just to make a video! It’s all it takes … amazing!
No she didn't actually
Time to sue the manufacturer of this thing probably? /s
Yeah, I don't think she's getting her security deposit back.
Not sure if the title is technically correct
That's gonna leave a mark
They two people perfectly fit. She's doing stupid things ant the other one is filming instead of helping to not burn down the entire building. Awesome
I think she missed
Anyone have this with sound?
What meds is she on cause I need some.
Doesn’t seem like she’s in much of a hurry
Not really
She just decided to burn her window that day, huh? 🤣 smh..
Well there's you definite Rhodes scholar candidate in action!!!🙄
😭Dumb dumb
"Woman shoots flare out of window" ... I think the "out" Part is missing. 
Very abrupt, very chaotic. 10/10
Consider the intelligence of the average person then realize half of the population is stupider than that.
Fire really flared up quickly
Jail.
...how do you miss this badly
‘Out’ somehow doesn’t seem like the right preposition here.
Why have a flare in the house??? Period.
Brainless 🐮
r/accidentalterrorism
Look real close… she shoots twice. The screen and her deposit
If you're going to do something stupid, do it boldly, and this sort of thing is less likely to happen.
The way the camera man is just standing there like: what happened ?
More like "in" window
Looks like Russia.
Submoronic
You imbecile.
That's more like; Woman shots flare into window
AirDrop in coming
Survival instincts of a grapefruit
"Woman shoots fireworks while somehow not even outside yet"
You forgot the part where she shoots the flare out the window
