“Sir, sir our truck is on fire!!”
“Gimme your coordination I call the fire department!”
“We can’t do that… They already have a lot to do… I have a better idea!”

Crowley goes to Japan
Someone in the council is getting a strongly worded letter that people these days don’t respect the laws of physics
I thought it was bad in America cuz we had to drive ourselves to the hospital. Damn.
The link seems to be broken, this one works
Edit: mine doesn’t work either
What is wild is that you link actually still works for me. Maybe a regional thing?
They just copied SoraNews so try this https://soranews24.com/2026/03/16/japanese-man-drives-truck-thats-on-fire-directly-to-fire-station-drops-flaming-potatoesvideos/
I don’t think that it’s a regional thing, just the way the URL encoding is parsed
Your links seems to work fine, thanks :)
“The fire department must have been freaked out when the reports kept coming in closer and closer to the station.”
The call was coming from inside the station!
Okay but if Starfleet had a purple uniform tunic then what division would it be for?!
I can see the logic used here, he came literally to the wrong conclusion but it’s a funny story since no-one got injured and it’s a gift to the fire service’s public outreach department to educate people on what not to do.
Oh, yeah this is great cause it went about as well as it possibly could have while being absolutely ridiculous.
But he drove his Fire Truck to the station. Can see where he thought that was right but somehow was really really wrong.
“Hmm I’m on fire, let’s get to the ‘shop’ where they put out fires as quick as possible!”
Yeah the entire time I was thinking… I wonder if the fire would have went out by now if he just stopped fanning the flames
It wouldn’t. It’s a food-truck, it’s full of flammable stuff.
Baked potatoes for all the firemen 😃
Do we have a community for unnecessary red circles?
At Lemmy.lol? Wow didn’t realize it was so close to home.
Yaki imoooooo
For reference, the Japanese equivalent to the ice cream truck blasting music to attract kids is the roasted sweet potato truck singing “yaki imo” which literally means “roasted potato”. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0_IwZxOfdk&pp=ygUOWWFraSBpbW8gdHJ1Y2s%3D
This one must have been some really heavy metal style.Roasted sweet potato . And it’s a strangely haunting-sounding song. I always loved hearing it despite not liking sweet potatoes.
I really dislike anything sweet potato, but, at least to me, yaki imo is really good.
It smells wonderful.
It’s like driving your car to the nearest mechanic when it breaks down! “So, how soon can you take a look at it?”
no better use for the phrase - IM COMMING IN HOT!
Seems like a great way to spread the fire across the city!
He was leaving treats for all the cold boys and girls in the form of FLAMING POTATOES! So the spreading is really a gift if you think about it.
Irish Santa Claus!
Its a firetruck, they use them to stop fire not spread it.
I’m just going to put this over there with the rest of the fire.
Was I lied to moments before or is this a really tragic story?
Its really a shame. These were all really just sweet potatoes.
Those poor sweet (very) hot potatoes.
