Villager unknowingly used a grenade to crack open nuts for the past 2 decades

Sometimes one may never know what they've been using close at hand all along. Like this villager in China who has been nutting with a potato-masher looking hand grenade for the past 25 years without blowing it up. One user commented in Chinese - "It's more stable than a Samsung phone."
So please be on the lookout if there's anyone close who've been using something that looks similar.

my grandfather used to keep a German potato masher in a box beneath his bed. it was the dud, that was a reminder of how close he came. the battle of the bulge was not a very fun place. he never used it as a mallet.
No wars are fun.. My grandpa kept one too, for being a guerrilla fighter blowing up transportation bridges during the Japanese occupation here.
wow. glad our leaders mostly got over that crap. don't get me wrong, politicians are still crazy, but i'd rather get along with people of Japanese descent than shoot at each other.
OMGEEEE!!!!!! Do you know if it was finally detonated?? More stable than a Samsung phone.....lol......
According to the link, its said that the person found out after looking at a notice about forbidden explosives. Safe and sound :)
Crazy crazy.
Merry Christmas @kevingwong....I'm signing off for a few days. Enjoy family, friends. :)
Merry Christmas to you to @countrygirl . Steemit will still be around :) Enjoy the holidays!
Whoa 😲, that's one lucky guy.
This reads way too much like a roadrunner cartoon for my liking.
Haha sorry bout that !
That is crazy. This definitely deserves a "Today in Stupid" header lol:)
I wouldnt call it stupid if the person didnt know all along lol!
I suppose but when you are using something you would at least try to find out what it was you were using. It does look like some sort of tool though I suppose!
Wow! That's luck.
I wonder whats the trigger mechanism. But yea super lucky!

I just read the link - it didn't say.....if it was detonated.....it certainly would have been here that's for sure. The SWAT and bomb squads would have been all over it.
This kind of reminds of The Gods must be CRAZY.
