Today i was reading about m80s on wikipedia and followed a link to the benton tn disaster of 1983. On the m80 page it called the accident "arguably the largest fireworks explosion ever documented".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-80_(explosive)
I was impressed by the description of bodies being decapitated and in my excitement I hastily shared the link to /v/TIL claiming it was the largest fireworks explosion ever. I was then corrected by @sanegoatiswear that the largest explosion in fact occured in the netherlands in a seperate incident.
Instead of admitting that i was at fault, and had not in fact done proper due dilligence in researching that post, i doubled down and fabricated false facts about the poundages of explosives involved.
I then posted some subsequent posts of dubious nature (shitposts) to /v/TIL with the intent of further aggravating @sanegoatiswear's autistic modding nature.
I hereby withdraw my posts from today to /v/TIL and offer my apologies to @sanegoatiswear and anyone in the community at large who may have been affected by my actions today such as claiming smoking cigarettes cures parkinsons disease, hiv does not cause aids and Philip Hart was jewish (i still beleive his (((father))) may have been).
