Well.. they did turn on the hot water
ladyatlas777
WHAT THE FUCK

Ok, so that's how they get their hot water. Cool
nikkinikorasu
Not cool, very hot.

Ah yes, Flint, Serbia. Lovely town.

“Ahh, perfect.” - My wife in the shower after doing that

Seriously is this a universal wife thing? Mine runs it hot enough to melt skin it feels like ?

Your wife has excellent preference of water temp.

My wife as well.

Not the most disturbing Serbian film ever made

One man's disturbing is another man's fetish. We try not to judge here
squishybaker
if a serbian film is your fetish, you sure got some issues bud.
SirRuppOfFigs
Oops! No trap!
itsjustplaid
I remember seeing videos of sparks in taps from folks who live near fracking sites. Terrible stuff.
PunkassUnicorn
Hey we're front page! Yes this is apparently Serbia, it was in the news today. What is even more shocking is that people drink this.
People in Serbia be like
umbrellacorped3
Wow. Terrible. Don't drink that. But put it in bottles and use it as molotovs when protesting bad water quality. For irony purposes
VoidofLostKnowledge
Using Molotovs is not a form of protest.
pjm82
Just light a fire, what are they going to do? Spray that water on it?
waldo9254
Put....put your dick in it.

Not the water itself that burns but the gas that's mixed with it
CongratsYouAreHereNow
i smoke cigars in the shower, this would be terrible for me
If the gas is mixed in the water then bottle it. Then explode it. After all it is mixed in. In mini bubbles.

Ah the tap of hell

Well you did turn on the hot water...

Fracking?
ElectricStormCat
Not necessarily. It occurs naturally pretty frequently. People just like to blame it on fracking
QuanticChaos
I'm in Canada and my faucet does the same, lots of natural gas and minerals in the water where I live.
OhNoDontTouch
yeah I'm sure all that methane got in the water through "natural" means..
It got way worse when they started fracking here, and once that ended it went away for a long time.
lddiaz
Could be from Pennsylvania or Oklahoma where they do a lot of fracking. And not the good Battlestar Galactica kind.

Recently there was a giant oil spill in Russia from a underground rocket fuel storage tank. i think this might be the city near that spill.
emygirl
excellent BSG reference
NoDakGirl
North Dakota too back in the early 2010's
hddsony
Fun fact: Fracking is exempt from the Safe Drinking Water Act. You can thank Bush II for this.
rex314
That fact wasn't fun, that fact wasn't fun at all.
LateNightBunnyParty
Why can't Oklahoma ever be known for anything good? :( We're also the birthplace of the shopping cart and the electric guitar, ya know.
rayneayami
Don't forget Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, and Cowboy Museum for good things too.
Jerry Cantrell, Bill Hader, Kristen Chenoweth, Megan Mullally, and Brad Pitt, too.

So who replaced the tap water into tap vodka?

It’s a standard feature in Russia

Is natural gas that got in the water line

miss09net8888

jonnyban
Looks like he ignites the air coming out the sewer rather than the water...
IDontKnowTHIRDBASE
Is that supposed to make it better?
kakari
It's not surprising to see flammable sewer gases at least (regardless of fracking, water table, etc).
Flammable gasses in the sewers isn't as exciting as flammable water... guess it makes it more dull. I guess at faulty U bend under sink.
TheyCallMeNinjaTuna
Didn't the same thing happen in areas in us where they were doing a lot of fracking.

Still does. Yet Trump cut EPA, gave benefits to the frackers and expanded that.

Not only those areas too. The water quality in the country is just over all bad. Thats what happens when you privatize utilities.

The US is huge and water quality is highly localized. The US has some of the highest quality water on earth. But also Flint Michigan.
*sips my local water that I get warnings about how dangerous it is to drink each month*

Upvoting for awareness, but also sad that the practice that causes this shit is considered ok due to ‘economic benefits’. Sorry planet.
Elroydb
It's also the reason why the US has seen a reduction in CO2 emissions in the past 10 years

md22mdrx
Who cares about the tangible when you’ve got the intangible?
RadicalLeftist
Theres more to it then that. While we transition towards renewables we will need gas to play a role to remove coal faster.
PipeandSlippers
Like upgrading in a video game, start off with the bad shit then let’s keep advancing til we get to the good shit
spitfirecpx
You can get this from well water no where near fracking, source my own two eyes in sask canada
ThatUsernameHasAlreadyBeenChosenAndlsNoLongerAvailable
Ya my parents have to get their well tested every few years because there's a gas storage cavern under it. Nowhere near fracking.
drcookieninja
SO much fracking in Saskatchewan... All that shale oil (main source of provincial boom).
sorosfieldops
Luckily Biden has promised not ban Fracking so we are all good.
AttentionDeficitHighDef
He said "no NEW fracking." 45 promised coal would come back to PA (it didn't). Existing fracking $ is crucial in PA. Biden needs PA to win.
Fracking isn't great. But, trans. fuels are a thing. Shutting down operations in 2020 is not a smart battle to pick in a long climate fight.
For good reason. If he bans fracking now it prolongs the use of coal which is much worse for emissions and particulates.

The reason it was a big deal was it hadn't burned for a while and the pollution built up. Flames from the famous fire were three stories.
SirSpiffyDijelos
I fracking love the USA!
rem2000
REM song cuyahoga is about the river and how polluted it was/is, great song
pretzelbetzel
I've seen similar videos from parts of PA too. Fracking needs more regs and enforcement of regs

It caught fire again a few months back from a tanker that wrecked on rt 8. 50 years fire free, typical 2020.

Run off from the spill was burning , not the river. Lived in the area all my life, can’t wait to see the damn go down.

It's not true that no one cared but dirty rivers were considered a sign of industrial abundance. We didn't have the only burning river but
We did finally inspire the epa. The most recent fire wasn't the result of toxic buildup but of a spill. That could happen in the cleanest of
Rivers.
CommunCreator
From a place that has the cleanest of rivers; no it couldn’t. It’s felony trespassing to even get close enough to piss in the watershed.
maddmurph
No one cared in 69 either. Too busy with nickel beer night at the Indians game.
If you’re in the middle of 69, you’re likely not caring about much.
Preach it
Skrumblecakes
Ten cent beer night. It was '74, and it was legendarily bad.
Right you are! Same night all the bases were stolen.
Game was suspended if I remember correctly.
