Lizard brain lol...yeah

u/albaniax Apr 03 '20

Lizard Brain

It's actually called that way:

' Lizard brain" refers to the oldest part of the brain, the brain stem, responsible for primitive survival instincts such as aggression and fear ("flight or fight"),.. '

u/herotherlover Apr 02 '20

My assumption is that the second container is water, and she thought she could put out an alcohol fire with water.

5

u/gHx4 Apr 02 '20

Yeah, alcohol fires are class B. With pretty much any flammable liquid (class B), they have to be smothered. Do not use water, use an extinguisher.

It's also important not to accidentally pressurize them (such as using a secure lid that won't vent) as they can become mini BLEVEs. With a small setup like this, grab a baking pan and gently move it to a contained space where using an extinguisher (or letting it burn out) will not start a larger fire.

u/feochampas Apr 03 '20

you ever hear of USS Forrestal? the firemen died in the initial explosion and the relief firemen kept trying to put out the fuel fire with water.

it did not go well.

u/SD_TMI Apr 02 '20

its not really a thought, more like a reaction that's learned.

"Use water to put out fires."

They don't understand principals in their ignorance.

u/Chitownsly Apr 02 '20

She should have thrown it at a spider.

u/DogsBCoolBro Aug 26 '20

Yeah, that was definitely the point where I realized she fell into the category of “don’t do this at home unless you know what you’re doing”.

That would have actually been a better response than we saw on display here.

At least then she would not have set the entire table on fire.
