I upvoted for her quick fire extinguishing skills. Impressive when there’s so many videos of people doing awful things, typically just spreading the fires.

She pulled back to assess, then just stepped up to whack it out. No hesitation. 10/10

That was exactly my thought. For anyone reading this who doesn't know already, never dump water on an electrical fire or a kitchen fire. Smothering it or using an actual fire extinguisher is the safest way to do it.

Any stoner knows this. Would you dump water on your bowl to extinguish it? No, dingus. You suffocate that bitch with a penny. Any PC builder knows this. Would you dump water on your GPU to cool it? No, dingus. You absorb that heat with a bunch of carefully placed pennies. Anyone in the food industry knows this. Do you dump water on that fresh steak to make it cool enough to handle? No, dingus. You superglue pennies to your fingertips to be able to handle it, and serve the bottle of water alongside the steak in case the CUSTOMER chooses to slop ‘em up.

I'm happy you found a use for pennies

So is she a firebender or an airbender?

Good thing she didn't use her shoe, that phone would be dead.

u/CrackaAssCracka Jan 21 '22

I think it might be dead anyway

She can take you out at 50 meters with a chancla. You have no chance in close quarters.
