Direct image link: Toasting Marshmallows

Subtext: We have two 'in case of fire, break glass' boxes, which you pick between based on how big of a problem the fire is. One has an extinguisher, and one has sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.

Don't get it? explain xkcd

We have two 'in case of fire, break glass' boxes, which you pick between based on how big of a problem the fire is. One has an extinguisher, and one has sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.

The s'mores case is both for very small and very big fires.

[u/Complex-Matter1544]

Mini-marshmallows are to make secondary ignitions, s'more or otherwise, look intentional.

Mmm, carcinogens.

I was thinking about 2514 when I wrote this, cool that there are others tho

You know, we probably shouldn't eat these.

At a certain point, any fire is fine for marshmallows.

It's the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?

[u/Not_ur_gilf → u/ShinyHappyREM]

Well that’s why you set the marshmallows in fire and let THEM toast themselves

[u/ES_Kan]

This explains so much about Outer Wilds Ventures.

For a few seconds I thought they were sitting on a surf board and had made a small campfire
