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 a lot of actors find a particular niche to inhabit when it comes to their roles but you really gotta hand it to David Tennant for somehow landing the absurdly specific category of “immortals that rebelled against their oppressive and bureaucratic people because they accidentally became too fond of the human race and also have a quasi-telepathic bond with a vehicle.”
Summer vacation is here for many and almost here for most. I always had amazing summer breaks that were filled with both fun and productivity for school. I want to share a few of my tips for having the best and most productive summer break possible.
Walk your streets with friends. Stop into small shops and local eateries. Pick up cool trinkets. Have fun with it. You get exercise, socialization, stress relief, and sun exposure all in one. And plus when you come across a store, you’ll be more than a little excited for some of that sweet ac
Learn to cook some dishes. I have created some of my best recipes while left home alone with nothing else to do. Take some fruit and some chicken and some seasonings and see what happens.
Have a bonfire wher you burn all your old tests and homework and stuff from the year before. This is a tradition that I had all through middle and high school and nothing really compares to the feeling you get from burning all those annoying, super stressful things.
Read. Read fiction and nonfiction. Read articles and papers on whatever you love. You’ll learn. You’ll have fun. It’s a great boredom buster
Clean up the house or your room at least once a week. Make it a habit
Get excited for school shopping. This one is easy for me because I am a slut for stationary. My friends literally have to drag me out of any aisles that sell notebooks or pens or paper or anything of the sort in any store. Back to school shopping really is fun if you believe it to be.
Get into the habit of saving your change. Spend dollars and put coins in something every day. Take them to a coin star or get some coin rolls and deposit them into your account every year. I usually do this around Christmas so I have some travel money to go home and some money for a few gifts. When I was in high school, I would do this when school ended so I’d have an extra hundred dollars or so to have fun with.
Explore your town. Find those hidden spots. Be a tourist for a day. Drive until you get lost.
Review what you learned and what you’ll need to know for next year. This is easier done in a group setting reminiscing about the year previous and stories from classes you guys took
Try to learn at least one interesting or cool thing about the topics you’ll study next year to get you excited
Play those board games you have laying around. I had a monopoly game last me 3 days once where the bank was bankrupt 5 different times. I played a game of Life where my friend had 8 kids and made bank upon retirement. We still laugh about that game of War where I was forced to retreat all of my troops to New Guinea and I had like 100 troops and refused to surrender.
Catch up on your favorite show
Pick up some side jobs. You’ll get some extra cash and have less bored time
Start to learn a new language
Handwrite things over the summer to prevent that “I haven’t written anything in 4 months so my handwriting is illegible” slump
Keep up with your hygiene
Learn a new skill
Take a lot of pictures of everything
Try to go somewhere outside of town with your friends for a day or two
Start a garden or get a couple of plants
Go to the beach, park, zoo, forest, nature walk, etc that’s nearby
Have a yard sale. You’ll get some cash, get rid of unwanted items, and practice some basic math
Have at least one water gun/balloon fight. For a water gun fight, fill up a bunch of guns and hide them all over your yard. For balloons, I recommend getting like 400 or so which they sell in packs of 100 at the dollar tree
Get a tan but do it safely
Learn about a new religion or culture
Spend all night watching movies with friends while you guys make jokes and laugh

FUCKING GOOD JOB
Some days my hope for humanity is restored in the most unusual ways…
Me too
This map actually looks like it follows some sort of plate tectonics what the hell
There’s a tornado warning out (two, technically), so of course I went for a walk outside to see if I could spot it. Never have I seen so many of my neighbors at one time, when there wasn’t a firework show or a picnic.
another Same Energy: so ive asked my family to refer to me as they/them bc im nb, and a few times ive corrected my cousins when theyve misgendered me. and so when my little cousins were playing superheroes, one of them said i could be supergirl, and my four year old cousin immediately pipes in with “but sams not a girl” and then, after a bit of thought, “you can be superthey!”
