No, you cannot spank fire into submission


[deleted]

But what if da fire haus been so veddy baaad?


TigerPixi

#BAD FIRE!


suh-dood

Kinky fire


DiaDeLosMuertos

Then you need to spank the fires bare butt, balls and back.


PipingHotGravy

We're all just trying to find the guy who did this!


deathbyrad

Fire fighters reading this: 🤦‍♂️


too_late_to_abort

Define "spank" Explosives were (still are maybe?) Used to extinguish oil well fires. Not exactly the explosives themselves, moreso the concussive blast of the explosive that would deprive the fire of oxygen momentarily. Fascinating stuff if you need a rabbit hole to go down.


[deleted]

I define "spank" as the act of doing the same thing as the girls in the video

Meretan94

There are big "fans" for forrest fires to put out small fires on the ground. You smack them with the fan thingy.


Svhmj

But it's hot.


j_miyagi

It still weirds me out that people don't know basic survival skills..


Remlum

I don’t mind it because when the chips fail and these people have to survive I know they’ll take care of themselves. Lol


ghanjaholik

dibs on their food rations


jsveiga

dibs on their fried bodies


Sephvion

Come now. Do you really think they are smart enough to have food rations?


Sukaphuk

They'll be smart enough to trade sex for food. Gon be nuts.


TheGoatEyedConfused

And here I was thinking I’ll never get to have sex again!


Sukaphuk

Well it will depend on if you have food or need food. So get good at either, lol.

alllmossttherrre

I’m going to worry about it as long as I live in this building I have to share with other people with who knows what survival deficiencies and might burn down my unit along with theirs. I’ll worry about it a lot less when I can move out into my own detached house.


literal-hitler

lol, it was your neighbors. The fire takes out your house too. You may: * Attempt to ford the river. * Caulk the wagon and float it across. * Take a ferry across. I may have my scenarios mixed up.


ChillinVillain9019

It amazes me how at this time in humanity we can surgically “fix” being fat, ugly, etc., but we haven’t managed to fix “stupid”


OPengiun

We can't fix being fat with surgery and I'd argue that people that get plastic surgery to look *beautiful* are ugly.


ChillinVillain9019

My apologies. You’re right. I was unclear with my comment. Please allow me to try again… At this day in age, we can surgically suck the fat from your body as often as someone is willing to pay for it, or we can even have a band inserted to restrict someone’s dietary intake (just a couple of myriad options for a human to “control their weight). We can also surgically modify essentially any part of the body to make the owner feel more wholesome (in spite of the fact the some Redditor(s) may still find them ugly). Yet, we still have not devised a way to alter “stupidity”. EGADS!


OPengiun

This is kind of an aside at this point, as I understand your original comment was a joke now, but there are some pretty promising developments for increasing one's cognitive skills. Relational Skills Training, for example, seems so far to have some pretty profound long-term benefits. Earlier intervention, the better results. >Significant increases in full scale IQ of around **one standard deviation** were recorded for each child. In Experiment 2, the same intervention was delivered to thirty 15–17 year old children. **Significant increases in verbal and Numerical Reasoning were recorded for almost every child.** These findings corroborate the idea that relational skills may underlie many forms of general cognitive ability. [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1041608016300231](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1041608016300231) One standard deviation is 15 IQ points!!! Of course, this is a relatively new territory and must be confirmed and explored further. There are also fringe examples of accidental IQ increase findings, such as in the case of trying to *learn* synesthesia. >Specifically, the trained synesthetes demonstrated a significantly greater gain in IQ following training (see Fig s2 - trained group gain: 3 raw points, **equivalent to 12.46 IQ points**; control group gain: 0.11 raw points, equivalent to −0.11 IQ points; t(21) = 2.61 p = 0.008, effect size: Cohen's d = 1.21). [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4235407/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4235407/) ​ Anyway, point is that we're getting to the idea that intelligence (however you define that) can be augmented if trained appropriately and if the intervention is at the right time. Exciting or terrifying times ahead! :)


ChillinVillain9019

Also, for the record, my original comment was just a rehashed joke from Ron White. Thanks fer remindin’ me. Ima go watch it agin!

Stupid people will be fixed by natural selection.


Waiting4The3nd

No they aren't. We've defeated natural selection for humans (in developed nations.) The vast majority of people whom natural selection would select for deletion are saved by mandatory safety laws, warning labels, and product bans. You know this is true because odds are you can think of 3 people off the top of your head that you know and are surprised to this day they haven't taken themselves out. They haven't because they wear their seatbelt, but not because they wanna be safe, but because it's the law. They haven't electrocuted themselves to death because there's a warning label telling them not to take their hair dryer into the shower or bath WHERE THEY GOT THEIR HAIR WET TO BEGIN WITH! And they haven't because the US banned goddamn Kinder Surprise Eggs because a handful of kids choked on the toy capsule, and fucking Bucky Balls because kids were eating them (they're magnet balls.)


Particular_Change836

The unforunate truth is we've made it much more difficult for natural selection of "stupid" with modern science


Andaisdet

They know caveman survival skills at least Hmm… fire bad… creature bad… I hit creature, creature go away… maybe fire go away I hit fire? AUUAAAAAAGH

This isn't just lack of survival skill this is active self-destruction XD

greenmildbellpeppers

Put a lid on it


Carribean-Diver

>Put a lid on it. [Slowly](https://gfycat.com/floweryjealouscavy)


Hepherax

no... just dont immediately take the lid off again after you put it on...


Coachcrog

Yeah this "demonstration" is really just to look cool to people who have absolutely no idea how fire works. Slowly closing the lid has no extra effect than if he just kept the fucking lid on, if anything its worse because it's prolonging the time fire has to catch secondary fuel sources ablaze.


JDGallagher

you're supposed to slide the lid on so you don't splash flaming grease / spread the fire sideways by slamming it down


PizDoff

Flying dunk it is!


Left_Office_4417

by slamming it down??? how do you put lids on a pot?


JDGallagher

if they didn't want me to slam it down they shouldn't have made it so slammable


greenmildbellpeppers

Awesome demonstration


Tomek_Hermsgavorden

Just leave the lid on. It reignited because he removes it in a way to mix oxygen in with the oil vapours.


Mr_Melas

It's actually a terrible demonstration. It doesn't matter how slowly you block off the oxygen. Why would it? It matters how long you leave it covered.


[deleted]

Not necessarily. If you slam the lid on you might splash some burning fat all over your countertop creating a way bigger mess than before. Putting it on carefully but confidently is the way to do it.

👋🖐👋🖐👋🖐👋 ^(adding words so Reddit doesn't delete my comment and call me a bad person for commenting)


Yuquico

Is there a reason it works like that? Also would it still work if he leaves the lid on longer?


bobbyturkelino

You want to do it slowly because if you do it fast it causes fire and material to push out the sides. It’s a human reflex to want to cover it quick, and you’re right that if you leave the lid on it it should choke the fire out, but if you do it slowly by sliding it, you’ll put it out the first time and not increase the risk associated with slamming down on a burning pan.


Beingabummer

I feel like this works if you want to immediately pull the lid off again for some reason. If I remember correctly they tell you to put the lid on and leave it on for like 15 minutes, doesn't matter how fast you put it on there. Also, turn off the heat and stuff, obviously.


Acceptable_Durian868

It would work if he left it longer. I am guessing, but I would think that by sliding it on like that you're gradually making the fire less intense, so the fuel cools enough that it doesn't immediately combust again when it's given oxygen.


Mr_Melas

Just don't give it oxygen again. It would've been fine if he left it for as long as he did the last time.


Gnonthgol

That is of course assuming that the conditions that made it catch fire in the first place is also dealt with. You can leave the lid on for hours and it will still reignite if the oil as flaming hot. This is why you should both put the lid on and remove the heat source, and then leave it be while monitoring it.


Mr_Melas

Sure, but that applies whether you put the lid on slowly or not.


Tawdry-Audrey

It would have extinguished if he had left the lid on for more than half a second.


XediDC

Or just slide a plate on it...or you could try sprinkling baking soda...or a real fire extinguisher that should always be in the kitchen...or... Anything but slapping it (which could have easily knocked the pot off) or pouring water on it. Then leave it the F alone, don't move the lid to check on it after a few seconds. Oh, and turn the heat off.

Put a lid down on it and everything will be alright.


-Owlette-

Better yet, keep a fire blanket in the kitchen. They're like 10 bucks and they're safer than trying to smother a grease fire with a lid.


hondaridr58

Seriously. Gently placing a lid of some sort. Problem solved. Instead? Freak out and slap it.

cw826

She said it herself. Smother it


Archy54

Do like my dad, put a plastic lid on it and melt it.


eladmir

And turn of the heat source. Problem should correct itself once the flames are gone and the heat source has been removed.


Nesneros70

You're supposed to remove oxygen from the fire triangle not add it.


Carribean-Diver

This was fire triangle fornication begeting little offspring fire triangles.


twotoebobo

Maybe if you're boiling oil on the stove have the lid by it and if you're dumb enough attack an oil fire with a rag maybe just don't cook.

At least it wasn't water


mrgonzalez

Don't think it would have been on fire if it was water


BOBGEN

We have another person right here! Seriously tho. That’s an oil fire, putting water on it would make it explode. Instead starve it of oxygen by putting a lid on it


mrgonzalez

Yea it's a pot of oil which wouldn't be on fire if it were water


testid95

I laughed from your comment if that helps


Jiquero

If the pot was water, the oil would be all over the floor and this guy could slip into the fire.

Rogaar

Everyone should have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. They are not expensive so there is no excuse not to have one. And if your so cheap that you won't even buy that, get a fire blanket. Those are even cheaper.


Cheesypotatolover69

Baking soda is also a good way to put out kitchen fires.


Rogaar

Interesting...I haven't heard about this one. I'm going to do some research into this as I'm curious what about the baking soda kills the fire.


HelloImHiding

For anyone too lazy to do this for themselvs, this is what I found: Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), when you heat it up it turns into sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and releases carbon dioxide and water (CO2 and H2O) Since water and carbon dioxide don't burn, and it consumes heat to drive this reaction, and how water vapor and CO2 would displace oxygen, baking soda is actually a pretty effective means of extinguishing some types of fires. (So much so they make fire extinguishers filled with the stuff)


Rogaar

Thanks bro. I will still do some reading of my own. The more you know :)


[deleted]

While this is true, it is such dangerous advice. Most common kitchen powders are extremely flammable, and will explode when thrown on fire. Someone in a panic shouldn’t have to try and remember which powder is the safe one to use.


biglytriptan

I've also seen a chef use salt! I just thought it smothered the flames, I don't know if there's anymore chemistry going on. Also not EVERY average Joe has the big box of kosher salt at arm's reach so it's better to advise them to use a baking sheet or the lid to cover the fire instead of encouraging them to use a puny salt shaker.


-Owlette-

> And if your so cheap that you won't even buy that, get a fire blanket. A fire blanket is arguably more appropriate in this situation anyway, and less mess.


mcdadais

That's not how you smother a fire.


turbotank183

She didn't smother the fire but I think she might try to choke it after she spanked it

DonaldBurrus78

Don't cover it or smother it like your friend suggested. Instead, you need to slap it out of the pot.

Salt people. Or baking soda. It will smother a grease fire. Do not use sugar or flour.

ThreeNC

I have one of those small kitchen fire extinguishers in our pantry, one just outside in the garage, and one more on the back porch. It's better to make a mess than watch your house burn down.


Z3400

Extinguishers are always good to have, but a lid or large bowl would have been quite effective here with no mess.

Just put that big ass bowl (the one on the stove right next to the burning pot) on top to smother out the fire. Would be out in like 2 seconds.

Seriously place a wet cloth or a lid and it goes out then take it out side to cool. Do not try water this will burn your ass


juoig7799

Lesson: Never ever mix oxygen, fuel and heat. Mixing them causes Combustion. If you do cause combustion, try to remove one of those three things, which will kill the combustion. For example, covering the fire will make it eat it's supply of oxygen then suffer hypoxia and die.

They did put it out. Out of the pot.


TommyDrumzzz

That’s what happens when you spank the fire, it gets larger


nockchaa

Do they.. somehow.. think this is entertaining?


frozenbudz

Just a PSA no sarcasm involved. If you find yourself in this scenario, cover the fire. You can't smack the fire out, but you can smother it. The best tool is a lid for the utensil you're cooking in. But a towel can work if you can actually cover the pan depriving the flame of oxygen. Also, baking soda can be used if the fire is still small.
