"The lengths people go to for internet clout": Internet reacts to Kick streamer who stuck metal fork into a toaster

A relatively small Kick streamer by the moniker "GooseIsLoose" is going viral after sticking a metal fork into a running toaster on his stream. With the stream cutting out after an eclectic spark caused by the reckless actions of the creator, many have wondered about his well-being considering how dangerous it was. The clip of the exact moment was reshared on social media and gained traction as people from all over the internet started commenting and criticizing how GooseIsLoose had acted on stream.

Many are calling the accident karma for trying to clout chase. One Twitter user replied sarcastically to the streamer's tweet:

While sticking a metallic object into an electrical machine while it's on is incredibly dangerous, the GooseIsLoose appears to have received no serious injuries himself. He even took to Twitter to share the exact moment he inserted the fork into the toaster while making breakfast.

The short clip depicts the streamer toasting some waffles in the said toaster while talking about his preference of how he likes to eat it. Looking at the chat, he claimed that peanut butter on waffles tastes very good and everyone should try it:

With a big spark, the stream cut off as the camera froze, indicating that his power had gone due to some form of short circuit or other malfunction that had been caused by the accident.

GooseIsLoose's tweet lends credence to the argument as he complained that he would have to go to the store to fix his power. He stated:
