Is 80 lbs of tannerite for gender reveal excessive?

[Biggredchev]

That's supposed to have been 80lbs

Ehhhhhh noooo lol

When gender reveals (dumbest thing in the world imo) kill twice as many as swimming in shark infested water...there's an issue.

But maybe it is just the idiots cleaning out the gene pool

Couple years back my neighbor decided to obliterate a refrigerator with 10 pounds of the stuff. Lives approx 3/4 mile from me and there's two sets of woods between us at an angle.

Shook the house like I imagine an airliner crashing in the backyard would do.

Cracked a foundation? I'm with the crowd figuring someone's out to make a buck...

Were is the video of the guy losing his leg blowing up a washing machine?

80lbs of tannerite cracking a foundation? Yeah, right...if you detonated it IN the basement

The guy is an idiot. 80# in a quarry full of hard sharp things that can go flying through the air?!? This is why I say you've got to give Murphy & Darwin to do their work. This is also how tannerite is going to end up being banned. Great idea to get it in the headlines when we've got an administration flexing executive order powers to ban what they don't like.

What ever happened to the good old days when the gender reveal was at the hospital when the father walked out? I think people are short changing themselves with these parties, but that's just me.

Gender reveals are ****ing stupid. No one cares.

This. 100% this.

Supposed to be 164lbs

This joker destroying a barn i would be thankful to have needs his ass kicked.

Still can't belive it would damage the foundation of a house. Sounds like a bunch a Karen's up there.

An explosion happens that shakes the house, the homeowner goes and looks at the foundation, and sure enough, there's a crack.

Nevermind that the crack was there for many years before someone went to look for it. Blasting companies and quarries typically use seismometers around blasting zones for insurance purposes so when the homeowners come out of the woodwork wanting compensation they can show that their activity was below the regulated thresholds, and that is for charges that are in the ground. 80lbs of airblast can shatter large windows for a couple hundred yards in open terrain under the right conditions, but will not affect foundations, even that close, let alone a quarter mile away.

I would imagine once the media starts whipping up anti-tannerite hysteria, the lawyers will come running.

With Genders changing by the minute, what good is a reveal party that only recognizes the two genders.

That's hilarious! Wonder what color Tannerite uses for "non-binary?" And could you even use a binary explosive with a non-binary "being" or would that be considered offensive?

I'm far more interested in the epidemic of morons on the news video. Wearing masks for a newscast? Go drown yourself, please.

600lb of tannerite....

 

[Angrysauce]

With about 6 pounds, a garbage bag full of water, and alot of duct tape you can absolutely splinter a 2 foot diameter tree.

UPDATE:
Turns out not too bad. $620 fine with $500 suspended if he stays out of trouble.

Man pleads guilty, fined $620 for explosion at gender reveal

80 lbs of Tannerite to reveal the gender. The baby is probably going to be born deaf now.

 

[tmschuller]

600lb of tannerite....

600lb target... hmmm. A milk jug full got our attention. Neighbors did one last year in the bean field. Blew the bean chaff completely away in a 40ft diameter... wow. 600 pounder

 

[foszoe]

I prefer the old fashioned gender reveal.

I imagine tannerite will be banned

 

[Gunmetalgray]

But think of the childhood this kid's gonna have! Especially independence day

Did any of you know that the most destructive gender reveal event occurred on August 6th 1945 when the US announced they had a little boy?
