dumb shit you did as a kid

one time I emptied the flash poweder out of about 150 firecrackers into a tube. I was using hot wax to seal the compressed flash powder in the tube with a fuse sticking out. All was going well until the candle got too close and ignited teh fuse, which promptly burnt 2/3 the way down until it got to the wax where it went out, surprisingly since it was a waterproof fuse. I was in the kitchen 
Another time I caught a 2.5 gal gas can that was about half full on fire. Freaked out and eventually beat the flame out.
Yeah I was a pyro
got any good stories?

Same here. Lived next to firework stands. Ive had so many black cats blow up right next to my ear and roman candles hitting me in the ass then reporting its not even funny. Firework fights were the best. Its why ive gotten good at reading body language my hearings not terrible.but i ask what a lot.
We turned one of those pump water guns into a flamethrower. Took a stick from the fire and ducktaped it for a pilot light. Shit shot 20 feet flames. Until it caught on fire and immediately threw and ran
Molotov cocktails were a lot of fun. Wed grab old fridges and other shit from the dump and wreck that shit.
The valley in alaska was fun as fuck. We had a lot of access to gasoline, guns, fireworks, could ride dirtbikes and 4 wheelers anywhere, and we definitely made the most of it. This is all from 10-15.

I made a thread about this a long time ago in SA, and then Asante came and made the same post in the pub

Anonymous #1 said: Just curious. I'm almost 30 now and when I look back at my childhood I'm in total amazement that I'm even alive today. I did SOOO many stupid things as a child that could and even should have gotten me killed..
If we're to judge on risk vs reward, probably one of the stupidest things I did was a game me and my friends had a game, where we would run across an entire 6 lane highway with speeding (60+ mph) traffic. The whole point was to see how close you could get to getting obliterated. But you weren't allowed to stop. You had to time all 6 lanes so that at full sprint, you would clear the entire highway. I was very good at it. At one point I actually had an 18 wheeler 'bump' the back of my shoe as I passed it and give me a 'flat tire' (shoe almost comes off, but you step back down on it, crushing the back leaving your heel exposed).
I also came very close to losing an entire leg while jumping onto a moving train.. My foot slipped through the ladder that's attached to the cars.. It was dark and I didn't feel anything, but when I got home, there was a clear impression (and bleeding) from where the wheel had started to cut into my leg. It was far too clean of a cut to be anything else. The adrenaline rush was so great I didn't even notice it til later.
If we're to go just by the stupidest idea ever, I don't even know what to pick. Just too many to choose from.
P.S. posted in anonymous because I want honest answers. There are a few dumb things I wouldn't admit to doing if my identity (online or real life) were attached to it, and I can't believe I'm the only one.

One time I dropped a full roll of toilet paper in the toilet by accident and decided it would be a good idea to lock the bathroom door from the inside so no one could see what I had done
My dad ended up having to pry it open with a crowbar
I felt soo bad I couldn't stop apologizing

I have more instances of poor judgement in my youth than I care to admit.
One time me and two cousins decided for some reason to take a small 2x4 with a nail sticking out and put it in the road. We must have been like 11 or so, and we just sat there on the other side of the street waiting for a car to come by. Luckily some guy saw it, stopped and then started screaming at us. Me and my one cousin definitely deserved a beating for that as we just ran away like the little pissant brats that we were, while my other cousin stayed behind to apologize. Girls really are alot more mature at that age 
Another time me and this kid were spraying some aerosol accelerant onto cobwebs in his basement, and what do you know that somehow turned out to be a bad idea. I think I ran out again like the fucking coward I was and this kid managed to get it out somehow, was a very close call though.
At some point in my childhood I bought a line of BS someone told me that there was a plant called teaberry that you could smoke and get high. I was already an experienced leaf and incense smoker, from potpourri to maple to pine I had smoked them all by the tender age of 12. I went out and found some random plant, told my neighbors that it was teaberry (which I actually believed it was) and proceeded to toke up off some random bush in the woods with them.
I snuck out and did all sorts of weird shit, wrote profanities on some kid's swingset once, which I still feel really bad for.
I would take a bottle of gasoline into the woods, soak the ground, light it up and proceed to smash the ground with a stick causing a little fireball.

When I was about 10, I rolled up grass clippings in notebook paper and smoked it because I heard my mom yelling at my sister about smoking grass.

Me too, the above example because it was the first one that popped into my head.
I could very literally write an entire book based on just my stupid experiences, and that would just be a who, what, when, where, why type of thing. If I elaborated to build a more complete picture or gave backstory.. My "book" would quite literally be this thick 
I became a "bad kid" around 7 or so, in trouble at least every other day for stupid shit I decided to do, and did all the way into my mid 20's.

Yeah somehow I got away with pretty much everything. I would always drag my friends into ridiculous schemes and they'd end up in trouble.
I'm pretty sure I jerked off in class in 6th grade. I pulled my arms into my sweatshirt and tented it out with one hand. Looking back I have a hard time believing nobody realized what I was doing, but I was never ridiculed and there was another kid who allegedly also jerked off in class in my grade who was ridiculed, so I imagine I would have been had word gotten out. Either I was sneaky or I was so weird that nobody wanted to confront me.
I was always drawing super-violent and disturbing imagery starting around then as I had just started getting into horror and gore. I think if I had gone through this phase after Columbine I would have been viewed as a threat, but I remember my art teacher would just kinda roll her eyes. Wore the same Insane Clown Posse t-shirts day in and day out, only black pants black shirts, and I think I had a Nine Inch Nails one also. Too often I would notice at some point during the day that there was jizz stains on them.
One time I saw a swastika, a pentagram, and 'KKK' carved into a frozen lake by someone I figured at that age must be cool and edgy as fuck, so I started writing those things all over my notebooks and binders until I went into CCD (Catholic Religious Ed.) one night and drew a huge swastika on the whiteboard thinking I was being cool as hell until everyone saw it and people had to explain to me why that is so fucked up, which was super embarrassing to me considering there was a black girl I sat next to in class who I really liked and she almost certainly saw my affinity for symbols of hate, and being much smarter than me probably knew what it meant and just thought I was an asshat.
So many facepalms, I am in no shortage of cringy anecdotes from my past.

When I was a kid there was a weed growing in the fields they called rabbit tobacco. We used to roll it up in paper and smoke it thinking we were cool. It didn't do anything for us, I dunno why rabbits liked it. I used to climb trees all the time, all the way to the top.
