Serious Warning

[Saint in Paradise]

Please tell your children / grandchildren NOT TO DO THIS.

 

Students are shoving pencils, push pins, and even scissors into Chromebook USB ports… and it’s starting fires. 

This viral trend—called the Chromebook Challenge or Laptop Challenge—is forcing school evacuations across 

the U.S. and even leading to criminal charges. In this video,Patrick breaks down what’s happening, why it’s so 

dangerous, and just how widespread it’s become. We’ll look at recent incidents in Connecticut, Michigan, 

Colorado, New Jersey, and more—including one case where a student was hospitalized for smoke inhalation. 

These are lithium-ion battery fires. This isn’t just a prank—it’s a serious hazard.

This is a very serious issue. Did you know li-ion batteries burn hot enough to melt the aluminium in a tinfoil hat?!
