Yup, it’s all fucked. You’re too stupid to use electricity safely.

Opie, did you at least get ur smoke lit?

Breakers or fuses? Whatever is between the electricity inside your house and the electricity outside your house needs to be reset or replaced. Next time just use the toaster or the stove to light your fag, fag.

You weren’t supposed to tell him that. If he gets the electricity back on, there’s no telling how much damage he could do.

Then again, OP would probably be daisy chaining indoor extension cords across the lawn in the rain from his neighbor’s house if he didn’t fix his own power.

You jackass, if you don't understand electricity then don't fuck with it. Firstly. Unplug your seriously dangerous death device you made and throw that shit away. Check your breaker box you probably blew a breaker. Kick it back on if that doesn't work call and electrician and don't mess with that kind of shit again.

I had a better understanding of electricity at age 5 than OP. OP confirmed retarded.

GET OUT OF THERE NOW
GET 50 FEETS AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

This idea probably stems from a russian youtube channel where that method of lighting a cigarette actually works.
At least we had a laugh.
