I too remember when I discovered DIY flamethrowers (AKA lighter and deoderant)

one of the lower levels of pyromaniacs gets more fun as you go, and leanr new stuff, but also more dangerous

okay? why did you put your tongue to the edge then?

God, I can just FEEL your teenage angst coming through

Here's a tip, just don't fucking play with fire and you'll be fine. No amount of room/distance from people can prevent you from hurting yourself with it because you made a mistake. Fire doesn't give second chances.

Take it from a person who lives in bumfuck nowhere who burnt their eyebrows off when they were 13 making a firebomb out of pinesap, paraffin and nail polish remover.

thats the deal, i respect the fire, i know it can burn me, i know it is dangerous.

sure you get burnt a few times, but you learn to control it better each time, and by now i dont get burned anymore.

To be fair I did some fucking stupid shit when I was younger. I found out that if I sprayed enough AXE on my hand I could light it on fire without feeling it/getting burned for a few seconds. In hindsight I could have very easily deformed myself.

that is true, however if it burns for only a few seconds, chances of getting burnt by it, are smaller, and since it used the deoderant as fuel, unless you spray it on both sides, and then light it, it should be safe, as long as the flame goes up, and not along your hand/arm or something.

sure it CAN be dangerous, but as long as you have respect for flames, and realize you CAN get burnt, and WILL get burnt at some point, playing with fire, you should do just fine in life as a pyromaniac
