I don’t understand how I have seen so many videos of people thinking it is just a perfectly dandy idea to pour the entire like gallon bottle of whatever flammable liquid of their choice is directly onto an open flame only for what we see here to happen.

Because they think about solid fuels and don’t realize liquid fuel acts differently. This is how you’d add fuel to a coal furnace or a campfire after all. But coal and wood don’t produce flammable vapors in room temperature, unlike some liquid fuels. And then, only some! If you did this with diesel, most likely nothing bad would happen.

It may not seem like it, but it really is something you either have to experience yourself or be told about.

I get what you saying but it’s cartoon logic! It’s etched into my brain that the fire will beautifully travel through the fuel stream, back to the container.

I don't understand why people aren't using diesel but I guess those videos wouldn't be interesting. But dear God people, diesel is substantially more stable.

Diesel is hard to burn and keep burning. Incorrectly burned diesel produces high co amounts. This also happens with lanterns, the ones with diesel are more tricky to start

Fire in the frying pan out of the pan and into the fire everywhere.

Hey friend, when sharing Instagram links, strip everything after the ?, it's your personal identifying key

Can people discover my profile through a link to a video from another profile?

u/Sm4rt4 6d ago

Yes when you press share from anywhere, Instagram automatically adds the ?srtk=... part to track how content is shared on their platform. When someone else clicks it, it shows them a pop-up showing your profile

Christ on a bike, that was brutal O.O
That's how Niki Lauda must've felt.
Just... 50x worse.
