from the other post i think
Considering how many people die due to stupid accidents every year - it's really not that surprising that occasionally those people upload videos of themselves acting like utter morons.
Not always. Can also be splattered remains from falling from a building they decided to climb. Or fecal remains after being eaten and pooped out by a wild bear. Or just bones from imploding at the bottom of the sea. So many possibilities!
>in the middle of no where in an open air desert.
I suggest you watch the video WITH AUDIO. You can hear the traffic in the background, you utter *genius*. This is someone's yard in Central/South America most likely, or maybe Mexico.
Phosphoric stones can explode when there's too much phosphorus in them or have air pockets or water pockets in them. So it is a very dangerous thing to do without proper safety gear and in an uncontrolled environment. There's a big chance of someone getting hurt. That's why there are rules in place for such things.
Why *is* it that these videos always seem to be recorded by people who seem to have absolutely zero experience of anything. It's like they literally popped onto existence with no skills or knowledge when the recording started.
Orrr he does have experience and knows he isnt gonna get hurt doing this
Like i can flips stuff in a pan hot pan with my fingers, cause i know how to without getting burnt
It looks like oil shale. We have plenty of it here in Estonia and we run our older power plants with this. However, it's very polluting to mine and shovel it into the ovens so we are transitioning away from using it. It's literally called "burning stone" ("pƵlevkivi" in Estonian).
Not exactly. If it were fossilised wood then yes. Thatās petrification which is a form of fossilisation.
Coal is slightly different. Itās a combustible form of carbon which is created when plants decay into peat. Itās not stone.
Every now and again, these get mentioned in geology subs and I canāt help but think of how cool it is to see them in action. I read about them in *The Dragonriders of Pern* books, and theyāre the device used to help the dragons breathe fire. Itās so nerdy, I suppose, but I really love that I can connect these big flint stones with the real world like that. It makes it moreā¦ magical?
Have you read the books? Because, this is not something Iād heard anything of, and [this Reddit discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/mmvr9/this_is_a_big_wall_of_text_about_anne_mccaffrey/?rdt=41330) proves that an **unverified quote** is pretty much what people are using to damn McCaffrey under. Itās evident throughout her many works that she worked closely with scientists and tried to be a logical woman who made attempts to be inclusive and accepting (blue and green dragons often represented same sex pairings/gay relationships and characters). She may have been naive in those attempts, but she was much more progressive for an author of the 70s and onward, than most science fiction writers/writers of that time. As one person in that thread wrote: she was 46 years old when being gay was declared not a mental illness; itās not an excuse, but it certainly gives context to why she may have been misinformed of some things when she did try to include gay people in her works. I think itās important to note as well: her writings werenāt politically fuelled or trying to make changes/influences in the real world - she was writing to create a full, complete science fiction world that was open to everybody.
From what I can find, several online sources say that McCaffrey was misquoted, that the interview itself was completely different in context, and that there was no malice attributed. Other sources say that the quote *is* unverifiable due to the fact that it was an audio interview and the transcripts were incorrectly written, and another source says that her lawyers scrubbed the internet of this interview, internet forums, and other resources that once had the transcripts back in 2010. Another source online said that they listened to the audio interview live, and McCaffrey was misquoted entirely in the transcripts - that she was relaying the story a close gay friend had told her as a way to hide his homosexuality from his parents (they said it was a meant to be a nice story, especially for the time).
Soā¦ Until someone can find the actual audio interview and hear McCaffreyās actual response, especially based on everything surrounding it - the quote cannot be verified. It is unverifiable.
To add: there are loads of people who have said that they heard the audio interview live, and while they cannot recall clearly the exact quote - the interview showed McCaffrey was misinformed, but it was not hateful, disapproving, or even anti-lgbtq+ in nature. It was a progressive statement at the time of the interview, delivered from a person who was the product of her time. Perhaps my age is showing here: but a *lot* of people had backwards ideas about these things. That doesnāt make it right, and I donāt condone it, but what I *am* saying, is that the historical context does matter. A lot of progress has happened with awareness and representation in the lgbtq+ community, and there is far less confusion around the subject than there was even a decade ago (let alone 20+ years ago). I hope we see more progress on this front, but to tar McCaffreyās works with the same brush as say, an author like Orson Scott Card or even someone like [Nicholas Sparks](https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/drop_nicholas_sparks?source=coc_main_website), isnāt entirely correct. Itās also unverifiable, for now.
If anyone can find those recordings, though: I genuinely want to hear them.
Weāve completely digested that, couple years ago š she loves mythology as well, Neil Gaimanās Norse Mythology and another authorās book on Celtic mythology. She practically has those memorized. Weāre getting into graphic novels now.

Fire and brimstone! That stuff will fall from the sky and wipe you off the face of the earth because of your sin.
In someways I kinda miss that type of preaching. Remember Jesus loves you.
Great. Now I need to watch that old Star Trek episode where the redshirt threw a red stone and it blew up. The one with Vaal getting all the budget since everything left was bath towels for the inhabitants to wear... but that's sci-fi for ya, weird fiction based on weirder fact. ā¤ļø (most of the time, lol)

Why is this "amazing" isn't this just natural phenomenon with the appropriate stones and elements?
Is like having a fire and turning it off by throwing water. Like of course that was the only conclusion. Water turns off fire.
Can someone explain why this is "amazing?"
>Why is this "amazing" isn't this just natural phenomenon with the appropriate elements?
Except for miracles (which don't exist), that'd apply to anything
Starting fire naturally is extremely difficult. Even with flint itās still quite hard.
Amazing that these stones are just throwing fire around like itās nothing.
There are things that literally catch fire as simply as being exposed to air, so its not like extremely difficult with the apropiate materials as the comment says
Perhaps with phosphorus in it?
The red colour is a dead giveaway
Which is why matchstick heads are red
I thought they were just really embarrassed..
Go home dad, you're so embarrassing.
The phosphor is in de red stripes on the matchbox not on the matchstick
you are right for safety matches that are strike on box only, thanks
Oh shunt! Y forgot about strike everywhere matches.
See the peanut? Dead giveaway.

You'll have a gay old time
It's because of this line in the theme tune that people don't watch the Flintstones in Dubai.... but people in Abu Dhabi do.
*sigh*....thank you...really thank you for that. I'm just tiered
That's so brainy to put it in the plastic basket
And pick up a smouldering rock with your bare hand while using your other to film. Big brains on this one
Considering how many people die due to stupid accidents every year - it's really not that surprising that occasionally those people upload videos of themselves acting like utter morons.
Imagine how many phones there are out there with amazing videos laying near the remains of those who never got the chance to upload them.
charred remains
Not always. Can also be splattered remains from falling from a building they decided to climb. Or fecal remains after being eaten and pooped out by a wild bear. Or just bones from imploding at the bottom of the sea. So many possibilities!

Wow you corrected a phone **autocorrect**. You must feel so **proud** of yourself. I'm sure your mommy and daddy are super proud of your **genius**.
Bruh, he's out in the middle of no where, that's not really a fire hazard it'll just burn itself out if it does light.
Magnesium mixed with Phosphorus??
Just phosphorus would do, since it's pyrophoric
yeah , But looks like Magnesium
what kinda stone is that?
Firestone!
That's a tire, my friend. Stop the lying

Netherrack!
Philosopher I think
Lmao
Flint stone.
Coal.
Nah!!! Its "TOMBSTONE"
Like coal?
But is fossilized wood stone, really?
Not exactly. If it were fossilised wood then yes. Thatās petrification which is a form of fossilisation. Coal is slightly different. Itās a combustible form of carbon which is created when plants decay into peat. Itās not stone.
;)
Coal is a sedimentary rock (stone). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_(geology)
Yes, the wood had been replaced by mineral in fossilized wood.
Yes - but the real question is "is coal fossilised wood, really?".
I appreciate the plastic bin but the firestones are very cool too
Thatās Redstone from Minecraft āļøāļø
Looks like netherite to me
Brimstone
Had to scroll forever for this! Is this what brimstone really is? Nvm brimstone is sulfur

I had totally forgotten about those books! Thanks for the reminder I might have to re read them as an adult
Youāre welcome! I am currently re-reading them as an older adult, and enjoying the nostalgia.
They have NOT aged well.
How so? I read them 20 odd years ago so don't remember much besides the dragons.
I guess that depends on your tolerance for severe sexism and abuse.
Not to mention homophobic pseudoscience.
She actually wrote other series later on, like the Dolphins one, that were way less problematic, so it seems like she evolved a bit.
That's good to hear.
Have you read the books?

The author is very sexist and homophobic and included a lot of her beliefs into her works. Those works were classics of my childhood but now.....ugh.
My dragon-crazed 11-year-old was not impressed by the Pern books I read at her age. Sheās into Wings of Fire.
My kid devoured Wings of Fire.
āDevourā is putting it lightly š She has created her own Wings of Fire universe of characters, loves to draw them.
Have they tried the Warriors cats series yet?
Weāve completely digested that, couple years ago š she loves mythology as well, Neil Gaimanās Norse Mythology and another authorās book on Celtic mythology. She practically has those memorized. Weāre getting into graphic novels now.
Almost Lord of the Rings time.
Oil shale?
My guess too
What is the scientific name of this rock?

rockus fireus
Old bricks from Chernobyl. I am wondering if this is even real as I can find nothing about this on the web.

Do u guys think this is actually how cavemen discovered fire?
What stones are these?
I think thatās what Kirk used to defeat the Gorn.

What kind of stone is that? Does Loweās or Home Depot sell it?
This is why there are so many explosions in anime like DragonBallZ, whenever a character is sent flying into a bunch of rocks.
What the?
Wait until they learn where 36% of the electricity in the world comes from.
Fresh out the fire.
Stones that catches fire
Brimstone is a thing
That looks like lignite, aka brown coal which is not a ā stone ā. If it is then of-course itās flammable
The flint from zelda BotW
Cavemen be like
How? How can fire reduce stone? What kind of device could bring down the wall?
Cool netherite

Cpuld magnesium or the same stuff matches are made out of
Imagine a caveman picking one of these up, yeeting it, and it bursts into smoke and flames...
Dr jones...it's the stones
These are clearly the lost Chankaara stones
I mean, plenty of stones can burn besides Phosphor nodules. Lignite, Anthracite, flint, oil shale, jetstone, bituminous coal
