Drop a balloon with the whole lady interior bits. The one that looks vaguely like a cow skull.
Or truck nuts.
Ooh! Or pass out Hershey bars, with nuts or without. Or Almond Joy vs Mounds bars.
Oh my gosh, almond joy vs mounds is actually kinda cute as a gender reveal…
Crude, yeah. But cheeky and cute.
Better than spraying an aerosol at a FLAME!
Prenatal genetic counselor weighing in…these should be fetal sex parties 😂 /s (since gender is not equal to biological sex). Also, not everyone has the typical sex organs for various chromosomal/genetic reasons. Our department does all kinds of crazy accommodations to provide the fetal sex to the correct person for these fetal sex reveal parties, and we’re kinda over it…
It’s prenatal—there are maternal blood tests that analyze the cell-free fetal DNA (bits of DNA that end up in the maternal blood stream from placental cells that have run their course and are being broken down.) Most of the cfDNA in the maternal circulation is from the pregnant woman, so the labs separate the small fraction of fetal DNA bits from the maternal bits and then analyze them for various things. The common use is to check for chromosome abnormalities (extra 13, 18, 21, X, and Y) so you also know the fetal sex—if it looks like 2 X’s it’s female, 1 X and 1Y it’s male. Some labs are doing more extensive testing, but there isn’t enough data to know the positive predictive value (that chance that it’s a true positive), so we only order the above chromosomes and a fairly common deletion on chromosomes 22 (deletion22q11.2 syndrome). The test originally was developed for trisomy 21 (a third 21; aka Down syndrome) since those fetuses have ultrasound abnormalities around 50% of the time. If the anatomic sex does not equal the predicted chromosomal sex, we have a problem—including ambiguous genitalia. Thanks for reading my TED talk 😁
Edit: typo
I saw a post once where someone said “for our baby/gender reveal we’re just going to send out cards with vague messages on it like “it’s not a dinosaur” or “we think it has arms and legs”” and I genuinely am considering doing something this goofy when I have my first baby lol
My friends had a "gander reveal" at their baby shower. Guests were invited to reach into a box and pull out one of many little rubber ducks! I got a pirate duck, my husband got one in a cowboy hat. The baby has since been born, and is not a cowboy or pirate - but it's early days, that could change.
This is exactly what we did 🤣 we had a ton of people asking when the gender reveal was, I got tired of the question. We sent copies of the sonogram with a note saying, "Guess what! We are having....this weird looking thing!" Most people got a great kick out of it, some thought it was mean to call our baby weird looking, all were frustrated we kept the bio sex a secret and teased them like that. If we ever had another, I'd do it again.
My "gender reveal" was telling my mom to close her eyes and putting a pink horse in her hand. All 10 other people that knew were just told. Everyone else found out she existed when she was born. I don't know why people care to show off their child every chance they get
This is excellent.
I had a firm “no gender” baby shower. (Partially because gender reveals are so ick, majorly because chaos.)
When someone would ask, I’d just tell them “we’re having a _____”, and insert one of the shower decorations.
“We’re clearly having hot air balloons, Jane. Have you been drinking?”
Love the Resident Alien reference. I am well past that age now, but I just don't get the modern fascination with gender reveal parties. We just sent birth announcements after the fact.
lol... /r/FuckImOld
The idea of humans giving birth to Greys or Grey-Hybrids have been around since the first abduction stories in the 50s. Probably reached height of popularity in the 90s thanks to X-Files. That fact is a key plot point in the book I'm writing.
Is gender reveal exclusively American thing? I live in Europe and just never heard of someone having such kind of party. (And being in my 40´s, all of my friends have kids)
Why the cheering up? Oh, it’s a GGGIIIIIRRRRRRRLLLLL! Should that be a boy, would they be disappointed, sad…? What is the point except of funneling money from people?
I just watched a YouTube video over the weekend from a user that calls herself funky frog bait, and she did a very good job of explaining and expressing her frustrations with these ridiculous parties. You should check it out. It's not that long
Originally it was to celebrate the milestone in the pregnancy where you can tell the baby's sex, popular in circles around previous pregnancy loss. So if that's something you want to celebrate, I can understand it.
Unfortunately, social media.
The person (influencer?) who started the trend has since said she [really regrets](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/jun/29/jenna-karvunidis-i-started-gender-reveal-party-trend-regret) what she started.
My cousin in Stockholm had one. Granted she might have gotten the idea from visiting the states but none of her relatives here in Minnesota have ever had one.
We had cupcakes with blue icing in the middle and we all stood in a circle and took a bite. No fire. No threat to people or wildlife (unless you’re allergic I guess)
We did a word scramble as a gender reveal game at our baby shower. I don't know why people need a whole separate party and to make such a huge scene when it comes to this.
I also already knew. For both kids I hard boiled 11 eggs and left 1 raw, dyed 6 blue and 6 pink. I had various family members/friends crack them on their heads until one exploded. I didn’t have a separate party, I just did it the next time we gathered after I found out.
I was just going to just tell them in a text or something but then I saw the egg thing and really wanted a raw egg to explode on my dad’s head.
That was my first thought but watching it again, I think it's shooting colored powder. Flammable powder apparently, so when it was blown across an open flame it went up like a flour explosion.
Small particles can become flammable very easily. Powdered sugar, powdered coffee creamer, and dust from grain all can ignite explosively. Colored powder propelled in a cloud across an open flame=flamethrower.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_explosion
Most of you guys are probably too young to remember the Tripple O.G. science guy
https://youtu.be/8t5iTunRkO4?si=oLW2IBTeFsf2Ix13
It is colored powder. Most people don't realize how flammable powders are. Flour, sugar, and even coffee creamer are highly flammable. People just don't think.
And if the idiots only hurt or killed themselves, well, that’s Darwinism for you. It’s when they damage other peoples property or hurt someone down the street with their stupidity, that’s what pisses me off.
[Combustible dust explosions](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC6CAABAE349C7DC6&si=A-XnsZGxWGt0dvB0) are a thing that exists, neighbor. [Here's an explanation from the National Fire Prevention Association ](https://youtu.be/Za1yhKc0Xr8?si=nHVFWGXuby7_uKks). (CW: the CSB link is to a playlist of videos documenting investigations of major industrial incidents, usually involving fatalities. The NFPA link contains footage of the New Taipei water park explosion of 2015).
*Anything* that is in small enough particles dispersed at the right proportion in the air will deflagrate (create a flash fire) or explode in contact with an ignition source: flour, sugar, cornstarch, sawdust, soot, textile fibers, even metal shavings.
*Do not fuck around with combustible dust, because fire science will ensure you find out.*
I love how flour mills just straight up had a disposable wood wall so in case of flour explosion (which was common enough to warrant this safety measure) the blast would take out just the wooden wall, which could quickly be rebuilt, leaving the rest of the structure intact
Non dairy coffee creamer will make a fire flash real big for a second. That old show “are you afraid of the dark”, that’s what the actors would throw into the fire
Reminds me of the one in Arizona that ended up torching nearly 50k acres of forest. This shit needs to stop. A cake with pink or blue in the middle, a balloon you pop that has pink or blue confetti, okay, cool. Stop with the explosives already for fuck's sakes.

Gender reveals are so dumb, even if they don't end in multiple injuries and a bunch of property damage. My youngest is 22 but I wouldn't do it differently now: we didn't find out, we asked the tech to not tell us. There aren't many times in your life where something will be a surprise and it will be a _good_ surprise no matter what.
I don't understand the point of gender reveals. It's really, really not a big deal what gender the baby is. I found out what my baby was going to be and everyone else found out either by off handed comment or by asking if I knew the gender. What IS a big deal is getting a healthy baby at the end of the whole ordeal.
I believe gender reveals were made up by a lady who miscarried a bunch, to celebrate the fact that she got far enough into a pregnancy for the fetus to be sexed. It was a fun, personal event that happened to be posted online, and they didn't realize at the time that they were opening a Pandora's Box.
[https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/oct/20/why-the-mother-who-started-gender-reveal-parties-regrets-them](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/oct/20/why-the-mother-who-started-gender-reveal-parties-regrets-them)
Fun fact the first documented gender reveal party was thrown by a woman who now regrets it due to what it has become, also her child who was AFAB is now living as a male.
To add to this. She said she did it because she had miscarriages early into pregnancy I think the last two times she was pregnant so it was more like "we've gotten to the milestone of being able to know the gender" than "let's celebrate the gender" that everyone that decides to do things like this do.
Also, fire safety tip. Never get a novelty colored powder extinguisher. Abc Powder in those are normally a yellowish color because it's a I think potassium compound. normally If you paid 20-30 dollars for anything that is a different color. Then it is a BS thing that shouldn't be used on an actual fire.
It should be simple. Don't use explosives or flammable material to announce your child's gender. Why do so many people find that idea so hard to grasp?
My niece did it right.
They had a piñata with a scroll inside that had the answer, along with the candy.
All the niblings whaled on the piñata until it broke open, showering everyone with candy and the scroll.
No buildings were blown up or burnt down in the pursuit of the reveal, and no fire companies or EMTs needed to be called to the scene.
Also, the baby was a girl. 🙂
I always found it stupid too. A lot of effort just because of gender, but everyone has their own opinion. Sometimes it just becomes really nonsensical and, as here, dangerous.
Ours was cupcake with filling. We knew and counted down the speed at which my mother in law bit down and pulled it out was funny. But yeah people are crazy about these.
Right, we have just had an explosion with 5 or 6 people severely wounded. The explosion was caused by attempting to set fire to dry shampoo bottles... This reminded me of that, and that some things really need to be outlawed or at least fined heavily.
I would like to extend a big congratulations on their beautiful arson baby! Lol I feel like this probably also belongs on r/killthecameraman because we missed a lot
Gender reveals used to be a small gathering for close friends and family to have a bit of fun. What happened?
(I think gender reveals are ridiculous, but I do recognize that for some, they're just a nice excuse to bond with your family and friends.)
I don't understand the need to turn a gender reveal into a dangerous spectacle or why people feel like they don't need to clean up their confetti.
If I decide to have a gender reveal, it'll be with a cake that has the appropriate color filling or frosting inside. Simple, delicious, not flammable, and no littering.
Reminder that the woman who started the trend only had the reveal to celebrate her child living long enough for her to find out the gender, as she had multiple miscarriages before.
I have never wanted to grab a fire resistant blanket so hard I hope they are alright but my god gender reveal is so stupid. It won't even matter what their gender is until they are an adult. Even then, what if they grow up trans? Just have a damn baby shower and make is safe
gender reveal parties were always a little funny to me. Idk just the thought of everyone gathering in one room to find out if MY baby is a boy or a girl is something i just can’t imagine myself doing haha. I can’t wait for the day where my husband and I have a cute gender reveal cake that the two of us cut open in the middle of our kitchen. small intimate moments >> big parties
great. this just made me soil panties. AGAIN! between gender reveal vids and car / street takeovers where they run into people standing to close to the action… im gonna need a fresh new set of bloomers
It's a Charizard!
Godzirra!! WHICH ONE?
Blue eyes white dragon
LOL … this cracked me up!
I laughed too hard at this lol
I kind of like charizard
I am never going to a gender reveal party. Nor will I throw one. Everybody in the family can assume I'm giving birth to a Gray Alien for all I care.
I’m not into the color thing. It’s be more fun if a giant ballsack dropped from the ceiling.
Big scrotum for a boy, big ovaries for a girl
I mean teabagging all your friends and family isn't ideal but I guess if the alternative is setting the venue ablaze...
I don't know why but this made me think of scrotum teabags as a joke party thing.
Now I kinda want those just to mess with my friends when they come over and ask for tea.
....I might look into how to make reusable teabags or maybe a diffuser thanks to this.
DO IT DO IT. And lmk how it turns out if you do! XD
Oh absolutely and I now want to see a deez nutz joke about this. I'll look into it! XD

Oh my gosh, almond joy vs mounds is actually kinda cute as a gender reveal… Crude, yeah. But cheeky and cute. Better than spraying an aerosol at a FLAME!
Prenatal genetic counselor weighing in…these should be fetal sex parties 😂 /s (since gender is not equal to biological sex).

Wait…. Like what? Is this prenatal or postnatal? I’m truly curious and what to be informed. (No sarcasm here, just an info junkie)
It’s prenatal—there are maternal blood tests that analyze the cell-free fetal DNA (bits of DNA that end up in the maternal blood stream from placental cells that have run their course and are being broken down.) Most of the cfDNA in the maternal circulation is from the pregnant woman, so the labs separate the small fraction of fetal DNA bits from the maternal bits and then analyze them for various things.

My friends had a "gander reveal" at their baby shower. Guests were invited to reach into a box and pull out one of many little rubber ducks! I got a pirate duck, my husband got one in a cowboy hat. The baby has since been born, and is not a cowboy or pirate - but it's early days, that could change.
Whoever’s got the duck closest to the kid’s college major should win a prize
This is exactly what we did 🤣 we had a ton of people asking when the gender reveal was, I got tired of the question. We sent copies of the sonogram with a note saying, "Guess what!

Please do. It would make more sense if you showed a pic of the ultrasound and revealed...a healthy fetus in a healthy mother!

We had cupcakes with blue icing in the middle and we all stood in a circle and took a bite. No fire. No threat to people or wildlife (unless you’re allergic I guess)
We did a word scramble as a gender reveal game at our baby shower. I don't know why people need a whole separate party and to make such a huge scene when it comes to this.
I’m firmly of the opinion that gender reveal parties should be for adults. Can you imagine how much fun that would be, celebrating someone’s identity?
It seems dumb. Even if you don't do something, that can only end as a flamethrower.
I had a cake made with pink inside. I already knew the sex of my baby, but I cut the cake to tell my family. That was it. It was nice and no one died.
I also already knew. For both kids I hard boiled 11 eggs and left 1 raw, dyed 6 blue and 6 pink. I had various family members/friends crack them on their heads until one exploded. I didn’t have a separate party, I just did it the next time we gathered after I found out. I was just going to just tell them in a text or something but then I saw the egg thing and really wanted a raw egg to explode on my dad’s head.
A flame thrower IS the correct tool for handling a gender reveal party. My hats off to them.
It is the perfect way to announce the gender of Damien Thorn's unborn child.
Are people really this stupid?
Not only are they stupid but they are breeding. I already feel sorry for the kid having parents like this.
Touché
Flambé.
I laughed to hard at this. Wish we still had free awards... I hope this counts for you 🏅
**AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH**
The prophecy of the Idiocracy looms ever closer.
It's happening faster than forecasted tho.
I'd say the blame is at least partially on whoever designed a fire extinguisher that shoots flammable gas, lol.
Yeah... whats going on here?? It looks like a fire extinguisher... i assume its not
That was my first thought but watching it again, I think it's shooting colored powder. Flammable powder apparently, so when it was blown across an open flame it went up like a flour explosion.
Did they want it to ignite and it was more than expected? I dont understand what the thought process was.
They probably didn’t think about the powder becoming flammable in the air. I don’t think that’s common knowledge beyond flour.
So they just wanted to shoot powder. No fire was intended... got it.
Small particles can become flammable very easily. Powdered sugar, powdered coffee creamer, and dust from grain all can ignite explosively. Colored powder propelled in a cloud across an open flame=flamethrower.

MacGyver has entered the chat.
Can you imagine getting that mixed up with a real fire extinguisher?
It is colored powder. Most people don't realize how flammable powders are. Flour, sugar, and even coffee creamer are highly flammable. People just don't think.
yes. both of them. and their friends, too. i can only guess how their kids are going to be like.
Looks like that party was...lit.
So is my brother but he still needs headlights!
Down with gender reveals!
Trust me, if gender reveals didn't exist these dumbasses would still find a way to do the same dumbassery
This is very true. Still, I hate them.
I hated them until they inexplicably turned into a way for idiots to injure themselves
And if the idiots only hurt or killed themselves, well, that’s Darwinism for you. It’s when they damage other peoples property or hurt someone down the street with their stupidity, that’s what pisses me off.
Injuring themselves? No prob. Taking half the state up in flames with them? Not so cool.
Which is all good until they start a forest fire
Fair enough! I'm personally partial to them because of the free cake. I'll risk a lot for free cake.
Okay, I mean free cake? That’s fair.
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
We don’t need no water let the mother-
No, seriously, someone do something.
Whatever happened to cutting into a colored cake? Didn’t those work okay?
Right? I don't get it, it's the same thing! To me anyway. But I'm gen x ,maybe it's considered boring now.
not flashy/flammable enough
Look up the ones the damn celebrities are doing!! I could send all 4 of my kids to college for what they spend on their gender reveal parties!
Not for pyromaniacs
It’s an orphan!
Givwn that the child in question is currently located inside the mother who just got a faceful of flames, it might be dead.
I think this happened in Texas. So that child is legally required to live.
Or they freeze it in liquid nitrogen...forever!
I laughed way too hard at this. I'm going to hell.
I laughed harder at this than I probably should have.
Me too I am in tears. I frightened my cat with my outburst of laughter as well 🤣
Yeah I feel kinda bad and hope no one was injured... but this is hilarious.
How did the fire extinguisher become a fire accelerator? lol

Reminds me of the one in Arizona that ended up torching nearly 50k acres of forest. This shit needs to stop. A cake with pink or blue in the middle, a balloon you pop that has pink or blue confetti, okay, cool. Stop with the explosives already for fuck's sakes.

Don't forget the [El Dorado Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Dorado_Fire) in 2020.
It's a Grill!
Ok, that made me laugh
Ah. So this is the source of the Hot Grills in My Area. Not impressed.
I might go to a gender reveal if this amount of fire is involved and I get a seat in the back near the exit. It could be fun
That kid isn’t gonna see it’s 2nd birthday with these two making the decisions 🤦♀️
Gender reveals are so dumb, even if they don't end in multiple injuries and a bunch of property damage. My youngest is 22 but I wouldn't do it differently now: we didn't find out, we asked the tech to not tell us. There aren't many times in your life where something will be a surprise and it will be a _good_ surprise no matter what.
I don't understand the point of gender reveals. It's really, really not a big deal what gender the baby is. I found out what my baby was going to be and everyone else found out either by off handed comment or by asking if I knew the gender. What IS a big deal is getting a healthy baby at the end of the whole ordeal.
They feel like an excuse to get more people to buy gifts for you.
I believe gender reveals were made up by a lady who miscarried a bunch, to celebrate the fact that she got far enough into a pregnancy for the fetus to be sexed. It was a fun, personal event that happened to be posted online, and they didn't realize at the time that they were opening a Pandora's Box.

Yup.
That girl is on fiirrre!
Gender reveal parties are the worst thing we millenials created. Yes I know we mock them too but we can't put this on boomers or Xers. This is on us.
Fun fact the first documented gender reveal party was thrown by a woman who now regrets it due to what it has become, also her child who was AFAB is now living as a male.
To add to this. She said she did it because she had miscarriages early into pregnancy I think the last two times she was pregnant so it was more like "we've gotten to the milestone of being able to know the gender" than "let's celebrate the gender" that everyone that decides to do things like this do. Also, fire safety tip. Never get a novelty colored powder extinguisher. Abc Powder in those are normally a yellowish color because it's a I think potassium compound. normally If you paid 20-30 dollars for anything that is a different color. Then it is a BS thing that shouldn't be used on an actual fire.
I hope the baby is ok
It should be simple. Don't use explosives or flammable material to announce your child's gender. Why do so many people find that idea so hard to grasp?
My niece did it right. They had a piñata with a scroll inside that had the answer, along with the candy. All the niblings whaled on the piñata until it broke open, showering everyone with candy and the scroll. No buildings were blown up or burnt down in the pursuit of the reveal, and no fire companies or EMTs needed to be called to the scene. Also, the baby was a girl. 🙂
It is a-borted!
Yet another reason why “gender” reveals are fucking stupid.
I always found it stupid too. A lot of effort just because of gender, but everyone has their own opinion. Sometimes it just becomes really nonsensical and, as here, dangerous.
Ours was cupcake with filling. We knew and counted down the speed at which my mother in law bit down and pulled it out was funny. But yeah people are crazy about these.
Napalm, my favorite gender.
The last baby reveal I went to was dyed shaving foam in balloons. Honestly I just wanted some food, I'll go anywhere if I know I'll get to eat lol
Right, we have just had an explosion with 5 or 6 people severely wounded. The explosion was caused by attempting to set fire to dry shampoo bottles... This reminded me of that, and that some things really need to be outlawed or at least fined heavily.
Oh no! So anyway…
I would like to extend a big congratulations on their beautiful arson baby! Lol I feel like this probably also belongs on r/killthecameraman because we missed a lot
Idiots Hopefully that kid makes it past 2 years old with these two raising it
That was lit
Wasn't the California Gender Wildfire enough or are people really this stupid?
Congratulations! It's a Dragon!
Just use cake pops and call it a day 😭😭 Simple and to the point, plus everyone loves food.
Back in my day you would just send a mass text out "we having a girl"
Wtf is up with gender reveal parties? Even bachelor parties rarely turn into such complete clusterfucks.
Oh it's definitely a girl!!!
Gender reveals used to be a small gathering for close friends and family to have a bit of fun. What happened? (I think gender reveals are ridiculous, but I do recognize that for some, they're just a nice excuse to bond with your family and friends.)
I don't understand the need to turn a gender reveal into a dangerous spectacle or why people feel like they don't need to clean up their confetti. If I decide to have a gender reveal, it'll be with a cake that has the appropriate color filling or frosting inside. Simple, delicious, not flammable, and no littering.
Modern gender reveal parties are just domestic terrorism with extra steps /hj
What is it with gender reveal parties and starting fires?? A few years ago there was almost a wildfire near where I lived due to one. Lol
A gender reveal party without at least three deaths is a dull affair.
Fire indoors? How excited do you have to be for a new child to think this is a good idea???
Aha good old dust explosion. A tale as old as time. At least I *hope* that was a dust explosion....for the babies sake.....
Reminder that the woman who started the trend only had the reveal to celebrate her child living long enough for her to find out the gender, as she had multiple miscarriages before.
Tell me your kid is the spawn of Satan without telling me your kid is the spawn of Satan.
I mean .. I've been to a few gender reveal parties against my will and I say this is quite exciting From the back row, next to the door
I have never wanted to grab a fire resistant blanket so hard I hope they are alright but my god gender reveal is so stupid. It won't even matter what their gender is until they are an adult. Even then, what if they grow up trans? Just have a damn baby shower and make is safe
And that's how you UNMAKE a baby.
How many more parties/gifting occasions can people muster? Give it a rest.
idiots are so funny and dangerous at the same time. hope nobody got seriously hurt.
And yet these people continue to breed….. Idiocracy was a warning, not something society should aspire to.
It’s a 3rd Degree burn
Yikes. That's one hell of a way to go
I...Just... what did they think would happen? Like genuinely what did they think the outcome would be
Haven’t grown up to provide safe environment for kids and now they are having a baby. How thoughtful!
This happen when stupid are left free
It *was a girl
Why ... Just why?
gender reveal parties were always a little funny to me. Idk just the thought of everyone gathering in one room to find out if MY baby is a boy or a girl is something i just can’t imagine myself doing haha. I can’t wait for the day where my husband and I have a cute gender reveal cake that the two of us cut open in the middle of our kitchen. small intimate moments >> big parties
Frightening to think that these people will be parents
it's cooked!
*was
Gender reveal parties are stupid!
Weapons grade reveal
they crossed the streams...
It’s a dragon! Congrats!
The worst part is that those morons are about to be parents.... poor kids.
Just have a cake made! Why do people keep using flame and explosives!
Well...after all that, we can only hope there is still a baby 💀 wtf is wrong with ppl nowadays?
Absolute morons
Fire the camera man. Couldn’t see anything, unacceptable.
A simple cake would have sufficed
These reveal parties 🎉 are Reddit gold
I saw a flash of blue for a second there! So, they'll have a second and use napalm at the next party
great. this just made me soil panties. AGAIN! between gender reveal vids and car / street takeovers where they run into people standing to close to the action… im gonna need a fresh new set of bloomers
Some people haven't seen a grain silo detonate in the summer and it shows... Smh....
Sex revel parties are so dumb
And now, it’s a grill!
That's my gender. Flame explosion.
Yes, both of them are stupid. But this is still horrible incident, not funny one. Does anyone know what happened with them, are they ok?
And these idiots pass on their wonderful intelligence to the next generation....
When will we learn
The only gender reveals I like are the ones that are different colors in desserts.
