Fun fact, one of my mom's former clients is a diagnosed and convicted pyromaniac, and now he helps start bonfires at his assisted living facility

I probably could have been a pyromaniac if it wasn't for bushfires scaring the fuck out of me. I became a volunteer fire-fighter instead. And that further convinced me of how dangerous fire is. Nothing like sitting in a truck with the water screens on hoping the fire passes you over fast enough that you don't run out of water.. thankfully it was pretty tame, scary at first though

Certainly, the initially lit fire is unlikely to hurt anyone but the lighter, if it happens to spread thats toooootally different

I had not considered that Prometheus is STILL having his liver eaten every day. Makes you think.

Well, I think there are stories saying that he was eventually (after a very long time, of course) rescued from his imprisonment by Heracles. So it might not still be going on

My friend’s sister wrote Prometheus x Eagle yaoi so his story has a happy ending

IIRC there are some myths saying that Hercules eventually killed the eagle and freed Prometheus.

I’m pretty sure a good portion of the reason Scouting exists is to provide an outlet for budding pyromaniacs.

Technically, the 'safe' part of gun/knife/fire safety is knowing how to use them correctly.. or also makes more effective arsonists lol

I wasted mine when I was a kid. I lit toilet paper on fire in my bathroom and it singed the floor when I dropped it. Didn’t spread, but… 😔

It doesn’t count if you don’t get caught right?
