People Are Hilariously Trolling This Teen For Pouring Water On Himself. To Be Fair, He's Taking It Pretty Well.

You have heard of "thirst trap" photos. You may have even heard of "tell me something I don't know" photos — a popular genre of posts for those who feel compelled to share flattering images of themselves with an arbitrary photo caption.

Over the weekend, one teen ventured to invent a brand-new format of self-indulgent photo-sharing on social media.

Hiwa Busally, an 18-year-old from Nashville, shared a video of himself in the mirror, topless, while drinking and pouring a small cup of water on himself, before dramatically coughing and gasping for air.

He captioned the whole thing, "Is water wet?" It's been liked over 10,000 times.

Busally is an aspiring model who's "currently running and operating my own fitness website."

He is also a full-time student at Tennessee State University and works at his local Walmart.

When asked what motivated his decision to post such a video — in the name of reporting — he responded, "Honestly I really post what I feel like posting."

The video has gone viral not only for the thirst he's successfully trapped, but mostly for how utterly ridiculous people found it to be.

"Dude act like he drowning from a cup of water or sumn," user @swaveyvicc hilariously tweeted in response. Their tweet has been retweeted 34,000 times.

He assured BuzzFeed News he's now fully recovered from the incident.
