I'm so glad the pets are okay and sincerely wish the best to that family.
That out of the way—dogs are fucking hilarious when something as serious as their house on fire but they have no context so they just stare and bark at the new thing.
We don't deserve such innocent, silly creatures

It's simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. I can feel their panic.
"Oh no, I did a bad. Go away bad. Oh no, oh no, they're going to find out I did a bad chew. Bad away! Bad away now! Why is this not working?"

Battery fires are exotherm AFAIK and get very hot, flame retardants can probably only slow everything down.
I accidentally punctured a maybe 30% charged battery while attempting a display swap on my phone a couple years back. The thing started a nasty hissing sound and smoked like crazy. I was glad to live on ground level and was able to throw the thing onto concrete tiles in the backyard. Lithium battery energy density is no joke.
Oh yes, popcorn is really bad for gas. Growing up, our dog got a few pieces off the floor and stank up the living room.
What apps/settings do y'all use so that removedant doesnt get replaced with removedant?
Edit: Jerboa doesn't let me say it but you get the idea. What a piece of removed
Edit 2: It's my instance, lemmy.ml
Its your instance, not an app. Switch to anything other than Lemmy.ml and you too can say fuck all you want.
No I removedure you, it's just a clremovedic example of the well-doremovedented Sremovedhorpe problem! If I can't cirremovedvent this instance's removedr aremovedessments of what I'm trying to say I'm going to need a theremoved
Cat as it gets the hell out of dodge: "I fucking told these humans the dogs were a bad idea!"
The cat went and found the fire extinguisher, but decided to not use it. Food bowl has been low lately.

It's just a little power pack. Plenty enough to start a house fire, but I don't think just being nearby for a few minutes is enough to drop you dead, or electric car crashes would be a death sentence
Electric car crash fires would be a near instant death sentence if the car were in an enclosed space. Also if you are trapped in you car with the battery fully on fire you obviously wont survive but usually people die from other causes before that becomes an issue.
People keep dying because their faulty e bikes catch fire in their homes. With this small battery, humans would have enough time to escape, but these dogs stood there for minutes.

Right, part of my point was that this battery is a tiny fraction of the size of one in any electric car. It's certainly not healthy, but it's not drop-dead unhealthy at this size, plus this is a pretty short video. For all we know the dogs might develop issues in the coming weeks
The resulting hydrogen flouride gas is apparently what fucks up your lungs, but that is lighter than air so it might have just been insufficient volume to fill the whole room down to the dogs level. Its very irritating so if they were to breath it in, i doubt they would just stay there but idk how stupid dogs are with this kinda thing.
