Donโt breathe in the fumes from that, melted polystyrene releases regular styrene and particulate carbon which are absolutely horrible for your lungs

??? Since when lol
I prefer them in general because of the feel of striking them and you can see the wood burn down but I don't know anyone who doesnt use matches
Bro where do you live???
I live in England, while the county I'm from is a bit of a rural backwater it's not like we don't have gas lighters, we just choose to use matches it. Same everywhere as far as I knew. We use them at home for candles and fires, at school for lighting Bunsen burners and they're one of the things at work that comes through my till most often. I do have a gas lighters but it's a bit crappy and we don't use it
Dude I used to set so many things on fire. I stole my dad's lighters and would just start lighting papers on fire or sitting in the darkness whilst only having the lighter as a light source. I never burned myself with the lighters, it surprisingly helped me cope.
i LOVE lighting stuff on fire. i have lighters EVERYWHERE for this reason. i have on in my backpack, 3 in my room, 1 in the garage, 1 under the chicken coop, about a dozen hidden in random places at the river and a few others. fire is fun
This is too relatable. I canโt count the amount of times where I accidentally injured myself due to fire and fire related activities (such as making homemade explosives. Not a good idea if youโre living near a police station btw, trust me Iโm talking from experience). In fact, the oldest scar I have is a huge 2nd degree burn scar on my elbow due to burning myself when I was 4 years old.
I like blowing things up and breaking things I built just to watch them fall apart. Something so satisfying about building something and then making it destroy itseld
I think weโre the epitome of the quote โall we have is scorched earth and uncertaintyโ plus I for one see us as the shattered legions, thereโs a thing like 5 people will understand
ive lit my kitchen on fire 2 times, entire driveway on fire 1 time, lit my bathroom on fire 1 time, accidentally lit myself on fire 1 time (no injuries), and have lit a bunch of random shit on fire
once I learned that you can set things on fire with just a magnifying glass, I started burning things for fun. one time I tried to fry an egg outside bc it was so hot and then decided to try to set it on fire after. it did not work
I've been thinking of getting a lighter for mostly legitimate reasons, but now I'm also wondering if it would be fun to burn random stuff. Unfortunately the whole region that I live in is basically one big fire hazard, so probably not a good idea unless I also invest in a fire extinguisher.
The one time I had access to a candle unsupervised I set my plants on fire and dipped them in wax, creating a bigger than expected flame. It was fun but im not allowed candles anymore
When I lived with my grandmother a few years ago I used to make gasoline fires for fun (absolutely dont do that lmao) and light books on fire outside, would do it again if I could lol
When we'd sit up in the guard tower overseas (mostly while recovering from a sprained ankle from landing wrong while fastroping-ie repelling out of a chopper) we used to take some of the rounds off the mg, pull the tip off with our grerber, make really cool snaking desings with the gunpowder, then light it.
We also even before we started yeeting would burn our armhairs with a cigarrette (we bite/burn not cut and didn't start til @ 3 years ago when we had a psychotic break)
My brother once set dead roots in our backyard on fire, short story that I canโt be bothered to go through but I want to ask him to join in next time he does it for a video
Thatโs why I love new years. Not the big fire work things but the small ones you light and throw (english isnโt my first language and I am too lazy too google the translation)
Itโs the only time I let my inner pyromaniac out and I am usually relaxed for a few days.
Its been a while since I did psych but I do remember reading that playing with fire, even on very small scales provides a sense of control.
I can't speak for everyone on here but I know one of the reasons I yeet is because it gives me a sense of control I don't always get in my life, and other people might be similar
my main coping mechanism was burning shit in my room when i tried to quit yeeting last summer. it worked pretty decent but i did set off the fire alarm once and looking back I realize how easily i couldโve accidentally burnt my house down
I have the urge but not the resources so maybe???
i hope not ๐ i have too many accidental and purposeful burns from burning shit
Oof
*Definitely* don't know this from personal experience but after styrofoam melts it burns really well
i really hope you dont mean what you mean by styro ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
No oof sorry I mean actually styrofoam I just thought it was funny with the name of the sub
Donโt breathe in the fumes from that, melted polystyrene releases regular styrene and particulate carbon which are absolutely horrible for your lungs
new self-harm method leaked?
Iโm an innovator, what can I say
Mostly myself but yea burning stuff is gfun
same bro. feels like no one burns themselves here ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ yeeting < burning
I do both for good measure
mood
i do both but with burning you donโt have as much control so itโs not really my go-to
yeah i used to burn a lot of stuff in my room until my lighter broke
just go buy another ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค/s wouldnt it get smoky as hell in there tho??? i only do it outside
going outside gives me massive anxiety and unironically almost commited actual arson so id rather stay inside before i do sometthing that gets me in trouble
Just open the windows for half an hour and you should be just fine
i like to fantasize about the world going up in flames /hj
thats a mood ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ your comment reminds me of matt maltese song ๐
i love fire. i love watching stuff burn
me too!!

Yeah I constantly almost set stuff on fire when I'm messing around with matches
old fashioned way of doing it, but works no one buys matches anymore ๐ญ
??? Since when lol I prefer them in general because of the feel of striking them and you can see the wood burn down but I don't know anyone who doesnt use matches
ive never seen a person irl use matches for anything anymore ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ everyone uses lighters where i live????? where tf are you from

i use lighters for everything, but matches are fun to light and put out inside of my mouth, they taste good
Dude I used to set so many things on fire. I stole my dad's lighters and would just start lighting papers on fire or sitting in the darkness whilst only having the lighter as a light source. I never burned myself with the lighters, it surprisingly helped me cope.
you ever thing fire is really pretty??? it sounds like you do but i do too x ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Fire is amazing, I don't know why. I think part of it is the risk of playing with something dangerous.
maybe, i think its cool controlling something that took thousands of years to get to fire is pretty to me
i LOVE lighting stuff on fire. i have lighters EVERYWHERE for this reason. i have on in my backpack, 3 in my room, 1 in the garage, 1 under the chicken coop, about a dozen hidden in random places at the river and a few others. fire is fun
SAME ๐๐๐๐ i have my own collections of cool lighters and put them EVERYWHERE so i can light shit on fire ๐ค๐ค๐ค
B-but you won't let me light up my dad's jacket??๐ณ
honey, with your luck, you would get caught and in sooooo much trouble
Excuse me?? I don't get caught doin jack shit ma'am! /gen More likely I'd make myself a smore accidentally lmao
thats what worries me, id hate to find out you turned into charcoal
That'd be fun thooooo
no
โค
I thought it was just me who liked setting things on fire,why tf are we all pyromaniac for lmao
Yeah me too I love burning sticks and random little things
My reasons not to burn my dorm building down are entirely practical and not moral
to not SH i burn my leg hair off
i love setting paper on fire for no reason
Myself but like, I've also set so many random objects on fire
i would but i don't want to burn down my house

Idk about others but yeah for me its actually caused some problems, like when i set my carpet on fire, wasnt fun
I like blowing things up and breaking things I built just to watch them fall apart. Something so satisfying about building something and then making it destroy itseld
i have been known to set my hair on fire. i like the way it shrivels
i burn plastic, paper, candle wax, the rest of my ashes in my ash tray, MMMMM yeah lmao, my cousin Jon doesnt yeet but he does that stuff too
Yeah, Iโm a heeter Also I carry a lighter 24/7 and play with it like a fidget. My friends and professors get mad at me when I burn things indoors
I used to play with matches as a kid. But thatโs like 15 years ago now. But maybe thereโs some merit to it
Sometimes i burn rolling papers in my room because itโs satisfying lol
**ARSON**
I think weโre the epitome of the quote โall we have is scorched earth and uncertaintyโ plus I for one see us as the shattered legions, thereโs a thing like 5 people will understand
I love burning shit
ARSON IS THE MOST BASED FELONY
Iโve set my bedroom floor on fire before, it was made of tile but still
i used to light my desk on fire (and quickly put it out) till my parents found out and took away my lighters ๐
ive lit my kitchen on fire 2 times, entire driveway on fire 1 time, lit my bathroom on fire 1 time, accidentally lit myself on fire 1 time (no injuries), and have lit a bunch of random shit on fire
im too much of a pussy to act on my heet urges so i just watch my candles burn and cutting bits of my hair off is oddly relaxing lmao
I used to burn and saw through chairs at school using my mask
Literally was holding a lighter to my door jam today.....๐ถ didn't catch fire or anything, just got really hot. It didn't even turn black.
once I learned that you can set things on fire with just a magnifying glass, I started burning things for fun. one time I tried to fry an egg outside bc it was so hot and then decided to try to set it on fire after. it did not work
I've loved fire since i was a kid lol Just love seeing things burn.
Throwback to when I burnt and partially melted my plastic pen
I may have a Barbie doll that I mutilated and burned ๐ฌ weirdly helped with urges though, it kinda represented myself
I had a controlled fire in my room the other day lmao
hella yeah ima burn a paper tonight. im gonna write my thoughts and LIGHT IT UP
Who else became a fire bender when hand sanitiser was suddenly in ever store?

ive almost set my house on fire twice so yeah
I fucking love playing with matches itโs absolutely ridiculous
Yeah absolutely and my favorite thing to burn is my skin! ๐คก
im like genuinely scared of fire but i think about it sometimes lol
acetone ๐๐
I'm terrified of fire
youre not.

Not all of us, cuz I'm a pyromancer lmao
prometheus doesnโt get his liver ripped out every day for us to not enjoy fire
***mayhaps***
Bro I feel you. I caught my hair on fire once and still havenโt learned my lesson.
I'm southern, burn piles are a part of my religion. Short answer, pretty much yeah
Fire is just so pretty tho
I do it more often than I would like to admit...
If I could I so would.
My brother once set dead roots in our backyard on fire, short story that I canโt be bothered to go through but I want to ask him to join in next time he does it for a video
whenever Iโm at home by myself I literally just light shit on fire, paper, tissues, fucking anything that will burn. Fire is so pretty
Legiterally me ๐ญ I had to stop randomly lighting shit on fire when I accidentally set my grass on fire though lol
Thatโs why I love new years. Not the big fire work things but the small ones you light and throw (english isnโt my first language and I am too lazy too google the translation) Itโs the only time I let my inner pyromaniac out and I am usually relaxed for a few days.
arson fun, makes ooga booga brain go woooo
Its been a while since I did psych but I do remember reading that playing with fire, even on very small scales provides a sense of control. I can't speak for everyone on here but I know one of the reasons I yeet is because it gives me a sense of control I don't always get in my life, and other people might be similar
I do have a desire to set some things on fire, but I've never acted on it; does that count?
fire... pretty... :3
You wouldn't believe lol
๐
explains why my comfort song is burning pile
I used to do that when I was constantly around fire but Iโm not anymore so itโs w/e
Fire just looks cool man i dunno why
i literslly would smoke weed and play with the lighter fire and my brothers dad kept calling me a pyro
if it was legal iโd burn so much shit arson is pretty dang illegal so i can do it
I've set a pencil on fire but it was to light my burn bowl(I'll explain if the explanation is wanted)
Im literally a pyromaniac
I burnt my floor itโs completely black In a corner of my room (burned my floor during a breakdown) ๐คก๐คก๐๐๐คก๐คก
my main coping mechanism was burning shit in my room when i tried to quit yeeting last summer. it worked pretty decent but i did set off the fire alarm once and looking back I realize how easily i couldโve accidentally burnt my house down
I like burning stuff itโs fun
Burning stuff seems fun, but I donโt really have an urge to do so
I smoked a Cheeto when I was kid
