Too hot to handle!
A hapless visitor to Yellowstone National Park’s world-famous hot springs got a thermal surprise after dunking her hand in the spring’s steaming-hot waters.
In a video that has gone viral, a man and a woman defy legal restrictions and common sense when they dismount a park boardwalk at Silex Spring on the Fountain Paint Pot Nature Trail in Wyoming.
The pair then scurry down a grassy embankment and approach the 174-degree hydrothermal pool.

She is very lucky. 174F is the temp after the water comes out of the spring and cools down. We live near Yellowstone and heat our home with a hot spring where the water temp at the source can spike up to 300F. Yes, hotter than boiling!
I set my oven meat thermometer at 174 degrees F to make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked.
This person doesn’t have the sense God gave a chicken breast.
Hearing about it more often. 30 years ago you would have not had a chance to hear about or see this.
The steam rising off of the water might have been a clue, even from a distance.
Her roast flesh doesn't taste as good either.
idjit. FAFO.
In a way we are getting dumber because safety regulations and excellent health care allow many of them to survive their most egregious feats of stupidity and live on to pass their stupid genes on the more generations.
Idiocracy wasn’t fiction. It was prophesy.
Why does stupid hurt so much?
It’s SUPPOSED to!
That video could only have been funnier if she ran headlong from the pool straight into a grazing bison.
“Stupid is supposed to hurt.” Calling her hapless is being kind; she’s “more stupider “ than a regular moron. (The “more stupider “ is in quotes for those in Rio Linda that don’t understand SARCASM. They don’t know the difference 🤣)
Are people getting dumber
Yes, Stupidity and ignorance are contagious diseases.
Democrats. Go figure. Oh well, she can blame it on global warming.
So what you’re really saying is that we should offer free ‘biden 2024’ bumper stickers at the Kilauea caldera...
She probably dips her finger in boiling water to see if it’s ready for the pasta (or whatever she cooks).
The book, “Death in (at) Yellowstone,” has several cases as I recall of people being parboiled in the hot springs. Horrible.
I would bet the person is a Chinese national. The last time I went to Yellowstone (several years ago) is the last time I will go to Yellowstone. We couldn’t see Old Faithful for all the HUNDREDS of Chinese tourists who came up and stood in front of us, around us, behind us, practically in our laps. These people had no decency, sense of space, or any regard for anyone else AT ALL. Practically inhuman...
Next the bimbo tries a meat grinder…
She questioned authority, had to find out for herself, and did. Could have easily held her hand above the water to begin to feel the heat.
Though you grind a fool with a pestle, in a mortar along with crushed grain, his foolishness will not leave him.
The Proverbs 27:22
Too bad they didn’t both jump in for a swim.
Some of us have bred generations too stupid to live. Those gene pools need to end for the good of us all.
