This is demonstrating why you absolutely do not pour water on a grease fire.
holy shit
Okaaaay. If any of you actually have a grease fire in the kitchen put the lid on the pan. It will suffocate the flames. Don’t pour water on it, and don’t freak out. Cook safely!
Or throw flour on it to smother it.
/quick safety announcement
NO, DO NOT USE FLOUR, DO NOT USE FLOUR TO SMOTHER A FIRE.
YOU HAVE TO USE BAKING SODA.
Throwing flour into a fire can cause it to combust and make the fire worse because FLOUR/SUGAR IS FLAMMABLE. One cup of flour into a grease fire can have the explosive force of dynamite.
The reason you use baking soda is that it releases carbon dioxide when heated, and CO2 is a fire suppressant.
REBLOGGING FOR LAST COMMENT TO SAVE LIVES
can we talk about how this is from a tv-show called “do not try this at home” where they tested all sort of stuff you’re not supposed to do, but they only got four episodes because after this experiment they burned the house they were filming in to the ground.
you know if I had to pick one human sex organ that could theoretically function as a vice I’m not sure if it’d be the penis, really.
There were lots of things wrong with the anatomy featured in that story. Penis Vice just happened to be one of the worse phrases.
oh my, this is somehow worse than the crucifix nail nips
It’s really not. Like it’s objectively awful, not good, very bad fiction. But it wasn’t trying to be anything other than cheap, cheap porn.
Crucifix Nail Nips was a vendetta against immorality and rife with all kinds of things I didn’t include in the original post because there was no way to make that kind of thing funny. I genuinely did not read to the very end of the manuscript because it was horrifically triggering.
But then I might be slightly bias from the author sending me death threats and making my life a living hell for several weeks.
Wait, wait, wait….CHRISTIAN EROTICA? Like, there’s a lot I’ve seen and wished I could unsee but those are two genres I would never have imagined smashed together? WTF?
Oh trust me, it’s a whole thing. It’s wild. We didn’t publish it as a general rule because it tends to go against the body positive, sex positive house rules we had in place. But I edited a lot of it in other places, and in the freelance circuit.
Virginity and “purity” feature heavily, and it tends to be super obsessed with things like first times and slut shaming (the bff is Always a fallen woman who is “loose with her affections” and generally either gets hurt for it, murdered, or becomes the antagonist for the MC by trying to steal the One True Love).
“All Men Are Prone To Rape, Which Only Your Purity And Connection To God Can Tame” (ew ew ew ew ew.)
And marriage is the one true goal. The sex scene after it will be tepid to lukewarm and generally focus heavily on pain and the hymen, but also finally feeling complete because a man has deemed you worthy. You will get pregnant from this first encounter with a penis. It proves your love is God ordained. The End. (Don’t attempt to play drinking games with Christian Erotica tropes. You will die.)
Okay I used to HATE roses as a symbol of romance and shit or whatever until I learned why they’re signs of love bc it’s the most metal creation myth of all time
Well ok have y’all ever heard of the goddess of love Aphrodite?
So in greek mythology, all of the roses were white. all of em with no exception. white. remember this detail, it’s important to the story
so basically one day, our local love bitch Aphrodite was bragging to the other gods about how she could make anyone fall in love with anyone, because she was the goddess of love, and everyone got kind of irked with her bragging bc it was annoying, and Zeus (in his Zeus way) decided to pull a BIG PRANK on Aphrodite by making her fall in love w this mortal named Adonis. Adonis was a hunter, and this made Aphrodite CRAZY because hunting is super dangerous, and she was thirsty for Adonis right & she didn’t want him to die. EXCEPT therein lies the prank, bc Zeus MADE Adonis get gored by a wild boar (rip) and he died.
and here’s where the thing with the red roses come in. Bc all the roses are white, right? And right as Adonis was about to die, Aphrodite SWOOPED DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS in a golden chariot pulled by swans on a slide made of clouds (a cloud slide). as she rushed to his side, Aphrodite pricked her foot on a rose thorn and her blood landed on the petals of the rose, and all of the roses around her became red with her blood as she mourned for her dead lover who was killed in the hunt by a violent wild boar, all bc Zeus wanted Aphrodite to stop boasting.
tl;dr: red roses are a sign of romance bc they were originally white, but the red ones are red because they’re dipped in the blood of the goddess Aphrodite as she mourned the death of her lover
Here, have this bouquet of “Zeus Is a Dick” flowers.
90% of greek mythology is zeus being a huge pile of cunt
Y’all know when Mulan is sitting in the rain and watches her parents silhouette disappear as the candle is blown out and then her eyes squint in determination and the music that starts to play and you see her go into the family temple and light a match and bow in respect and then sneak into her parents room and switch the scroll for her hair brooch and then the way her reflection is shown as she pulls the sword and cuts her hair?? It’s literally more iconic than any marvel movie
Y’all know that there is heavy symbolism in that scene to show that Mulan is the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon and that’s why Mushu wasn’t able to awaken it?
im sorry What!! i never knew this! my life feels fuller!!! ahhhh
Mulan sits in the rain underneath the statue of the Great Stone Dragon (who is looking down on her), and suddenly decides on a course of action. She looks up, resolved to go to war in place of her father and runs into the temple where she lights the match and beseeches protection for her family. The stone she bows to and that we see lit up by lightening strike is that of the dragon, whose eyes are looking out after her, lit from underneath by the candles. The scene transitions to the divider in the house that also has an icon of the dragon. where she replaces her hair comb with the summons. Then we see the sword hilt, also the dragon, and as she draws the blade we see her face replace it. She ties up her hair, then as she opens the wardrobe, the handles are also the dragon. After donning the armor, the view shows her facing us, with the hilt of the sword (the face of the dragon) in front of her face, where she then turns the sword to reveal her face, and sheaths it. As she leaves, we flash back to the temple, and the eyes of the dragon flash as her grandmother wakes up.
The Great Stone Dragon resides within her. She is the protector of the family.
After this explanation, the scene where Mushu cannot wake up the stone dragon makes so much more sense. I appreciate the symbolism so much more. I noticed the dragon but didn’t notice she was constantly juxtaposed with the dragon!
no mass effect playthru is full paragon, because we ALL choose the renegade interrupt to punch thru kai leng’s bitch-ass otaku katana before we stab that ninja bucky barnes wannabe in the chest
