Adrenaline is great. That's why you pull out a jacked up finger as quick as you can to set it. You only have a few minutes before it hurts so bad you want to cry.

My brother is a firefighter. The company he works for puts out well fires by sticking new wells on top to smother them. One of their clients had a similarly sized Lithium Ion battery catch fire. It is the only time they have told a client to gently caress off and just let it burn.

Don't do this if any bones may be broken though, you will make it much more difficult to heal properly. I needed $30,000 worth of surgery from a Harvard-trained hand surgeon and I'm still not back to 100%, and it may not have been that bad if I hadn't tried to set my fingers (two turned out to be broken, two were just dislocated and set fine). I don't even have a cool story, I just tripped on the sidewalk after leaving work :(

This reminds me of an ex-employee at my company. Her husband tried to catch a baseball during a backyard game and it dislocated a finger. He watched too many movies, so he tried to yank it straight to reset it.

I fell on a stack of logs. It was lame. I shouldn't have been on them in the first place. Just being a dumb-rear end kid. Having two fingers sideways should have a better story.

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug, indeed. About a week ago I tripped on the sidewalk and fell, getting a nasty gash, about 3cm long on my forehead, right to the bone, and a big bruise under my eye. After coming to my senses in about a minute, I was all "I'm fine, it's nothing", when my brother told me that I'm bleeding all over the place. "OK then, I should probably go to ER." I didn't feel any pain, except the sting of the needle while getting anesthethic (got 4 stitches), and only about two hours later I started feeling pain.

Also, a lot of other injuries can look like a dislocated finger beyond just fractures. I tore the extensor tendon in one of my finger joints, it felt and looked like it was jammed, but oh god it was not and oh man pulling on it was the worst thing ever ow ow ow ow ow my hand is reflexively curling in pain just typing this.

After months of occupational therapy it was pretty much back to normal, but for someone whose hobbies included computer games, guitar and piano and whose job requires typing at a computer all day, it was awful.

At least I got it playing roller derby and hitting motherfuckers, though.

Your breaking digits tale is less stupid than mine. I was going to bed, tripped over my cat and slammed my foot into a doorjam (yeah I was drunk). Felt like I stubbed my toe, went to bed, next day I could not walk so I went to the doctor with some help. I had fractured 3 toes and all of the long bones in that foot. The bones are healed but I walk like Verbal Kint now unless I try to act smooth and conceal the messed-up boneness.

kreosan are a pair of appliance repair guys whose home village is in a "contested zone" of Ukraine/Crimea. Most of the population evacuated when the shells started landing, but they stuck around and started stealing people's electricity to power their microwave oven experiments.

In some of their videos they suddenly go and hide in the basement and you can hear rockets whistling by overhead.

It's about as nihilistically :ussr: as it gets

Yeah, right on the mark. They've done a handful of videos talking about their situation and stuff, and it's all pretty tragic. That said, they're making the most fun out of it they can, which is pretty cool.

Assuming they don't have to run away from soldiers thinking they're building bombs again, that is.
