I guess they didn’t see that coming.

Everyone knows you have to keep your crystal ball
covered.

I had a fish bowl that did the same. We were home though.

For those who might not know, first, there are quartz crystal balls, and there are the more see-through lead crystal balls. The photo made it difficult to see which that one was, but I will hazard to say ‘lead crystal’.
Quartz crystal balls do have formations in them, but the common practice is to keep them out of sunlight and covered with a dark cloth.

This reminds me of the liquor store fire started by vodka bottles in sunlight.

Gee! I hope I won’t have any problems with the open containers of gasoline, oily rags and lit candles I leave unattended in MY Living Room! *SMIRK*
Glad everyone is OK, though. What a freak accident.
And, come on. Who among us hasn’t played with a magnifying glass in the hot summer sun, starting the lawn and such on fire, or at least challenging your sibling to see who could ‘stand it’ the longest with the laser beam focused on their arm?
It’s SCIENCE! :)

It’s what happens when you have too much popcorn in your house. Or in the case of Biden, too much Corn Pop.

This may be the one time that if someone had just gazed into the crystal ball, they really could have seen the future and prevented it.

It’s a scene from a movie. Corrupt university research scientist develops a laser for the military, using his graduate students to do all the actual work. The students reprogram the laser to hit the professor’s house, in which they have put an enormous container of popcorn (the professor hates popcorn). When the military test fires the laser, it hits the prof’s house, popping the popcorn and destroying the house.
