Despite the video telling otherwise, that seems more like a smoke grenade. Doesn't look too strong. Wouldn't a real hand grenade knock that guy off the ground from that distance?

The primary purpose of hand grenades is to create concern. In fact, some consider them to be the main pranking device in modern warfare.

Yeah, a real hand grenade would create enough shrapnel to do him a mischief by removing significant chunks of his anatomy. Which is bad. You need your anatomy to live!

Various comments I've seen around it suggest it was a smoke grenade someone brought in to disrupt the game (which worked, as it was called off). Still really good the guy had already thrown it. Even a smoke grenade might be able to remove fingers if you're holding it when it goes off.

Personally I feel that risking life and limb to remove a dangerous animal from a village is badass, but there's scoodyfroody to be had at the leopard who didn't survive the tranquilizing attempt.

Smoke grenades burn rather than explode. For a smoke grenade you want a long lasting thick smoke cloud. The smoke from that one is beginning to clear even before the video cuts off. Normal hand grenades let off a puff of smoke and that's it like in the vid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRXwGMhOuVM&t=263s

Also, hand grenades will not throw you across the room if they go off next to you. You would definitely fall over if a grenade went off next to you, but that's more a function of you being dead.

There are defensive (fragmentation) hand grenades that use shrapnel (think pineapple grenades) to increase their effective kill area since the expectation is that the user will be throwing them from a defensive covered position and offensive (concussion) hand grenades which are designed to be used by someone who may not have good cover so they use concussion alone with minimal fragmentation and less range.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenade#Grenade_types

I think it was actually a flashbang which would just look like a small cylinder once it's thrown, which would explain why the player didn't flip out as soon as he saw it, and would cause a similar flash and cloud from the video and almost no shrapnel.

Here, enjoy this video of a bunch of kids being flashbanged by the police. it's a demonstration

Who thought it was a good idea to flashbang a bunch of kids when hearing loss is a thing?

Their ad, for a Mother's Day event in Cornwall, showed scones with cream and jam - in that order. But in Cornwall, you put the jam on first, then the cream - cream-then-jam is the habit in Devon, not Cornwall. Naturally, Cornwall has erupted in outrage.

Cornwall voted pretty strongly for Brexit.

They then panicked that the UK was going out and asked where they'd get the £60+ million a year the EU gives them.

I love Cornwall but they're not the smartest.

Kansas bigots posted:

As Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach defends his state’s proof-of-citizenship voter registration law in court, his team is having some issues following trial procedure.

On multiple occasions, U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson has interrupted questioning to walk Kobach and his crew of lawyers through the intricacies of moves such as admitting evidence and asking witnesses about previous depositions. Robinson, an appointee of President George W. Bush, has even instructed Kansas’ attorneys on the correct ways to phrase their questions.

Rather than rely on the representation of the Kansas Attorney General’s office, Kobach has opted to represent himself, with the assistance of other attorneys in his office. They haven’t exactly given the impression of crack litigators.

The first hang-up occurred even before the opening statements Tuesday, when Kobach sought to introduce a demonstrative exhibit. Lawyers for the ACLU objected, as they had only been emailed the exhibit at 10:43 p.m. the night before, well after a 24-hour deadline before trial started that the judge imposed.
