The jury’s out on whether this homemade smoke detector is a work of genius – or not
One Facebook user demonstrated the true meaning of thinking outside the box after his smoke alarm broke.
Look upon Alex Behrends‘ creation and wonder.
He wrote
“Smoke detector broke so if i hear this bad boy popping in the middle of the night it’s time to leave.”
Commenters thought it was brilliant.
oh my god i love this

Finally – you can’t do this with a real smoke detector.
Grab that bag on the way out too so you got something to snack on while you watch all your shit burn to the ground
