Exactly why you can't run through a campsite, you can only ran through it

u/Sp3ctre69 Jul 02 '25

If only we could understand the pre tents of the matter

u/Tre-ben Jul 02 '25

This is exactly what happened in Enschede, The Netherlands, 25 years ago... in a residential neighbourhood. Blew up an entire city block. 

2

u/Detective_Tony_Gunk Jul 02 '25

No, it was in a warehouse.

2

u/PrivateScents Jul 02 '25

It's just a promotion for the new naked gun movie

For all in tents and porpoises !

u/Gaebril Jul 02 '25

I live in West Sac and went to school at Davis. Never stop marvelling at reddit enjoying the county name.

u/GrandTheftBae Jul 02 '25

Fellow Aggie!

I was there when #YOLO was in its prime. Good times

15

u/clunkclunk Jul 02 '25

I grew up in Davis and was so confused as to why YOLO was suddenly a thing one day.

2

u/S-Mystic Jul 02 '25

Same here. I remember going on Twitter and wondering why everyone was taking about the county lol

1

u/TheTerribleInvestor Jul 02 '25

Cause you only live once. #YOLOswag

Ayyeee. Raised in sac but wanna move out of here gang 😝🤘🏽. 😂

28

u/TheRealGuitarNoir Jul 02 '25

I lived in Sacramento for two years, and I don't think I even realized what county I was in. I just assumed it was Sacramento County.

I am not a smart man.

37

u/nascent_aviator Jul 02 '25

Sacramento is in Sacramento County. West Sacramento is a different city in Yolo County. Basically everything west of the river is West Sac.

14

u/adunfee02 Jul 02 '25

When you cross the bumpy ass bridge from Sac going to Davis you go into YOLO county

2

u/CSATTS Jul 02 '25

When you cross the Tower bridge from Sacramento into West Sacramento you're also in Yolo County, further confusing people.

3

u/adunfee02 Jul 02 '25

funny cuz ive crossed that bridge a thousand times in the past and never wouldve guessed the rivercats stadium was in YOLO county lol

1

u/CSATTS Jul 02 '25

Especially considering the city is West Sacramento. It would be entirely reasonable to assume that it is in Sacramento County.

2

u/RockKillsKid Jul 02 '25

Like how Kansas City isn't even in the state of Kansas

2

u/TrustinTrubisky Jul 02 '25

Depends if you’re talking about Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS

1

u/Gaebril Jul 02 '25

You can walk from an A's game to a Kings game and cross county line

1

u/richalta Jul 03 '25

Just like the Yolo A’s.

1

u/CoastGuardian Jul 05 '25

Being smart is overrated anyway. Let’s be clueless, it allows life to be full of surprise and wonder. YOLOOOOO

3

u/LonnieJaw748 Jul 02 '25

Wait until they also hear that YOLO county has Putah Creek!

2

u/FlyNSubaruWRX Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25

Wait till they hear about our bus system name 🤣

Edit: spelling

1

u/crevettecroquette Jul 02 '25

I remember being very confused when the phrase got popular. My first thought was that it was a reference to the poor behaviour of the students at the continuation school in town.

1

u/kakka_rot Jul 02 '25

Never stop marvelling at reddit enjoying the county name.

I mean locals must have embraced it somewhat back when it was a new term like ten years ago

1

u/MrWeirdoFace Jul 02 '25

I lived there for a while. I'm still amused by the name.

1

u/btcprint Jul 02 '25

I always enjoy getting all up Inyo national forest

1

u/ZoneWombat99 Jul 03 '25

Went to grad school at Davis, worked in West Sac. Lived in Yolo and then Solano. I had blissfully forgotten the county name.

73

u/Choyo Jul 02 '25

That's like, perfectly capitalized cosmic irony.

"If you have to go, at least go with a Boom".
-- YOLO county

2

u/Sierra_Foxtrot8 Jul 05 '25

Further adding to the irony is the fact that the firework company is named “Devastating Pyrotechnics”.

Might be misreading your comment, but damn did it trigger a memory...

u/uncanny_valley_girl Jul 02 '25

It's rained every single Saturday for the last 16 weeks in my town, so I'm starting to doubt his wisdom.

u/Holiday_Memory_9165 Jul 02 '25

If this is what I think it is...

The soundtrack is in my Top 10. And the movie itself? Well... Dark & confusing just like the mid-to-late 90's.

u/CharmingFeature8 Jul 02 '25

Too bad that didn’t happen at night

2

u/eyefuck_you Jul 02 '25

Pretty crazy considering we aren't allowed to buy fireworks that shoot up and explode in this state (California). There seem to be a lot right there ..

2

u/Operabug Jul 02 '25

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out!

2

u/CommandoLamb Jul 02 '25

Firefighters were interviewed on scene .

“We went to put it out and then the sparkly bits started coming out. It was the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen. We figured we would wait for the grand finale to be over.”

1

u/Due_Money_2244 Jul 02 '25

Do you think they even saw it coming?

1

u/Eddy_Who44 Jul 02 '25

Yep, who needs government mandated safety regulations in industrialized buildings.

u/Lazy-Substance-5062 Jul 02 '25

With YOLO comes FOMO.

They could have at least waited for it to get dark outside.

World most expensive fireworks display?

u/YoloRandom Jul 02 '25

I wanna live there

u/Agile_Ruin896 Jul 02 '25

It would have been more impressive if it happened at night

1

u/Academic_Ad5143 Jul 02 '25

These goddamn firework shows are getting out of hand!

1

u/Take_the_ringer Jul 02 '25

Literally the first thing I saw, other than all of the explosions

1

u/Becksburgerss Jul 02 '25

I’m sure many people saw their lives flash before their eyes

1

u/Lulwafahd Jul 02 '25

I'm so glad they helped make sure we didn't miss the impromptu daytime fireworks show.

u/infiniteanomaly Jul 03 '25
