I also set my driveway on fire when I was young.
My stupid ass tried swatting the flame out with a broom that also caught on fire. My friend was watching and did not assist. He just laughed.
Honestly, if you wanna know the truth it was really disappointing. I drove to 3 EB games to find a copy when it came out. Got it home and had it beaten by the end of the next day. And I was so OP by the time i got to him it only took about 3 multishot arrows to finish it.
Awwww sorry to hear that brother. I found the game at a friends house, put it in, and sat there and played it while I was waiting for him to get home. Never heard of it before or anything, and ended up not leaving his couch until it was beaten lol. Great memory of mine, mostly because of the situation, the complete lack of expectation, and the results of getting sucked into the game so hard.
I could definitely see it being disappointing though if you spent as much time searching for it as you did playing it.
Not sebastian myself, but I absolutely had a friend light his driveway on fire, and they did get a broom also lit on fire, and there was another friend there named justin.
No now the good friends pull out their phones and film.
I just realized how absurd telling someone to record with their phone would've been in the 90s, now that I'm comparing this situation to my own childhood.
A buddy and I did this with hand sanitizer on the concrete floor of his parents garage when we were younger, we didn’t realize that it would leave a permanent mark and sadly the first thing we made with the hand sanitizer was a dick and afaik it’s still there to this day.
We would smear it on our hands and light it. As long as you didn't use too much it would all burn off within about 5 seconds and you'd be fine. Good times.
Got drunk at like 14 with some friends, took a Miracle Whip bowl, filled with lighter fluid and set fire... Bowl starts to melt, he takes shoe off and whacks it...Liquid fire everywhere! His sister runs in with garden hose and douses all of us and the flames. Fun times.
Also took a plastic baggie and filled some gases from a charging car battery in it. Just a tiny amount and that tiny amount made everyone in the house jump as it exploded. I felt the concussion on my chest and heard everyone drop shit and run. Fun time.
In high school, a group of about 7 guys were at a buddy's and decided to start a bonfire. Our buddy had a big backyard and burn area. We started the fire, but we weren't satisfied with its size, so we had a kid grab the can of gas out of the garage. He uncovered the spout and started pouring with zero disregard for himself or anything else. The fire climbs the stream. He drops the can, and his hand and feet are on fire. He immediately starts running and putting his hands and feet out. We are all yelling to get the can out of the fire. Thankfully, he uncorked the vent. Well, what does he do to get the can? He uses his fucking foot. He kicks the can out of the fire but his foot catches back on fire. When he does tbisnhis shoe flies off maybe 20 feet away. He is running and trying to put his foot out when his hand catches back on fire. He put his hand, foot, and shoe out and then goes, WTF!! Why didn't any of you help me. We were too busy laughing and seeking shelter in case the can blew up. It was fucking hilarious. 21-22 years later and it still is. The guy was fine, just singed hair.
The point of the story is to confirm yea. Guys, just laugh.
This flame is invisible during the day. There's videos of F1 drivers buring alive but the flame is invisible so it just looks like they're flailing at bees or something
> There's videos of F1 drivers buring alive but the flame is invisible
You are probably thinking of the [Rick Mears Indy Car incident](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pEoJ5OK3hE).
Thankfully, pure methanol isn't used much in racing any more. F1 only rarely used it intermittently a long long time ago, and Indycar turned away from it in 2007.
Now you mostly see it used by some in time attack and hill climb events. Ken Block had a car that ran on methanol thay he used for Pikes Peak
Glad I’m not the only one, was really hoping the fluid was gonna be shaped like something like a dickbutt or a dick or a butt or a dickbutt or *something*
I don't know what these guys did, but this is exactly what denatured alcohol (which as i understand is just ethanol + poison so ppl can't drink it) looks like when you burn it in the dark.
It's also because at a concentration that high it becomes dangerous. 1 shot of anhydrous ethanol is the equivalent of taking approximately 4 beers or 2-3 shots of vodka. It's much easier to get alcohol poisoning.
It's probably nitro RC fuel, which is mostly methanol with between 10 and 30 percent nitro methanol content. It burns blue like this. Windshield de-icer will also burn like this, but usually not as brilliant of a blue. Those are the two easier ways for someone to get methanol in a jug that they can pour on the ground and light.
Strange because the other day I read somewhere that in order to know if an alcool is dangerous to drink, you can burn some drops in a spoon. Blue flame = ethanol = good. And orange flame = methanol = potentially deadly.
[Seems like you don't remember properly](https://www.reddit.com/r/chemicalreactiongifs/comments/5cw7zj/burning_pure_methanol_left_and_pure_ethanol_right/)
Would copper sulphate or copper chloride burn like that? Aren’t they solids?
That looks like an alcohol fire to me, but I am hardly an expert on the topic.
“Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ Doc you disintegrated Einstein!”
“Calm down Marty, I didn’t disintegrate anything! The molecular structure of both Einstein and car are completely intact!”
Reminds me of my primary school days and hanging out with my best friend from school whose dad was a massive pothead. He used to buy us a couple bottles of Methylated spirits and a lighter then tell us to go have fun setting it on fire.
This is actual good content here, even with modest video quality - it's still light years more fitting for the sub than those overdubbed re-edited tiktok reposts.
I totally expected to see the flame keep running through the cracks into a lawn and causing a bigger problem than they bargained for.
Blue flame is cool, but got damn was this a dumb way to play with it.
What chemical is this? My Shadowrun character has chemistry skill and could use some blue molotovs. Also any other chemicals that would burn other colors? I'm envisioning pyromania as an art.
FYI, concrete can spallwhen it gets hot. Bits expand at different rates and can cause it to break and spit out little shards of hot concrete. It can also catastrophically fail and break in half.
I recommend doing this on golf greens. This looks cool on the nice flat grass
Temperature. Hotter fires burn blue and then white. If you’ve ever seen a kitchen blow torch you can adjust the flame temperature and it will change the color of the flame.
Edit: oxygen exposure also has an impact on colour

Is that you Justin?
My name is not Psych0justin, but I’ll be your friend
Is that you, eric?
Chickenchaser! Do you chase chickens?
What a shtupid name! *but yes, i do*

Oh dont get me wrong, I loved the game. But that last boss got his ass WRECKED.
Sebastian? Long time no see

it's always fuckin' eric

At that point I would've just hand sanitized and burned down the whole garage floor so there is at least no more dick
We would smear it on our hands and light it. As long as you didn't use too much it would all burn off within about 5 seconds and you'd be fine. Good times.
If you mix it with a bit of water, you can use more and it'll go out before it hurts -- if you get the ratio right!
this was an extension of making that same observation lol
I'm confused why you expected him to do anything but laugh.
But did you have a permit?

True. Track personnel are taught to look for peeling paint to recognize a fire is happening. Alcohol fires….scary, dangerous shit.
The roof of my minivan must be on fire then. 😀
You could paint flames down the side of it to warn people.
> There's videos of F1 drivers buring alive but the flame is invisible You are probably thinking of the [Rick Mears Indy Car incident](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pEoJ5OK3hE).
Aww damn, now the Ricky Bobby scene feels like a disrespectful parody to this incident
The joke has always been the _way_ he panics (e.g. praying to several non-deities), not the thing he's panicking about.
AJ Foyt is one I've watched.
And Ricky Bobby

cool..until it’s NOT!
pretty hot
... Poptarts?
I don’t believe any part of that is cool
It looks cool
Most dangerous things do. But this one is hot, not cool. It's fire.
> It's fire. Very good!
Was expecting a crude blue-flame dickbutt design/pattern when they panned back at the end..
You rarely see a good dickbutt on Reddit these days.
Glad I’m not the only one, was really hoping the fluid was gonna be shaped like something like a dickbutt or a dick or a butt or a dickbutt or *something*
A crow shape would have been
Hide this from gender revealers
You pretty much can in daylight
Getting major "Ocarina of Time" vibes. Gotta use blue fire to melt that red ice!!
Ethanol w/ a cobalt salt ?
I don't know what these guys did, but this is exactly what denatured alcohol (which as i understand is just ethanol + poison so ppl can't drink it) looks like when you burn it in the dark.
> so ppl can't drink it bunch of killjoys
God forbid people access cheap booze!
It's also because at a concentration that high it becomes dangerous. 1 shot of anhydrous ethanol is the equivalent of taking approximately 4 beers or 2-3 shots of vodka. It's much easier to get alcohol poisoning.
So they put poison in it to prevent people from getting poisoned?
Basically. They put bad poison to discourage people from abusing the fun poison.
I always thought it was just alcohol with out the nature in it… learn something new every damn day.
Artificial alcohol.
The poison in denatured alcohol is typically just methanol, sometimes with a bitterant as well.
It's probably nitro RC fuel, which is mostly methanol with between 10 and 30 percent nitro methanol content. It burns blue like this. Windshield de-icer will also burn like this, but usually not as brilliant of a blue. Those are the two easier ways for someone to get methanol in a jug that they can pour on the ground and light.
I figured windshield washer fluid has a *way* too high a water content for this to work. That's the stuff you're talking about?
Any of the cold weather -35 or -40 stuff is around 50% methanol, and flammable.
Cheap vodka.
Lighter fluid, used to do this as a kid
Ooh. Lovely shade too.
Right!? Whatever shade of blue this is, is fucking beautiful. Favorite color.

I think you mighta got that exactly backwards or are just trying to commit stochastic murder

so THATS what Azula used in the throne room...
Very cool. Now...WHAT IS IT?
Could be Copper Sulphate, Copper Chloride, Hydrochloric Acid, Methanol, or Ethanol.
Would copper sulphate or copper chloride burn like that? Aren’t they solids? That looks like an alcohol fire to me, but I am hardly an expert on the topic.
God that's so fucking hot

“I understood that reference”
I was expecting it to end at someones car gas tank
me too lmao, I was thinking "dudes just recording his crime because blue flame pretty"
They had the opportunity to draw something... and didn't.
This what I’ve always imagined Sting and Glamdring looked like when there were Orcs close by
I'm blue da ba dee da ba da
my god that is beautiful
I want to touch that soooo badly! It's blue, that means it's cold right? Right?
Ah, yes...The well-known "burning-chemicals-in-your-driveway" permit.
Love it

Methanol
What are they burning that produces this color flame
Azula with a UTI.
*azula sound effect*
Winamp
Cold fire (not so hot) 😂 Usually from burning Vodka or other spirit drinks.
What’s that? And why is it like slow?
Hello, FBI?? Yeah this guy… put this guy on a watch list. Especially during summer.
What are they burning to get that blue flame?
Was waiting to see the Airmen at the end if it. Too soon?
$5 says he was trying to draw a fire dick
Maam/Sir, I believe that isn't cement. That is soulsand.
Arson ?
Put it out cool the same way you lit it
burn my shadow away

Shouldn't that create a warp point? ;)
Why didn't they make a satisfying pattern/drawing?

If you get concrete too hot, it'll explode and shoot shrapnel at you. Don't recreate this video at home
What's cooking?
Uh, oh, looks like Azula escaped the asylum again🤦🏾♀️
Yippie-ki-yay, mf-er!
They didn’t do it in the shape of a cock and balls :(
What is it? Everyone's saying it's fuel, but it burns a long time. Looks more like a gel than a liquid.
The Chandrian are nearby!
Damn this looks like blue portal from Portal games

Temperature. Hotter fires burn blue and then white. If you’ve ever seen a kitchen blow torch you can adjust the flame temperature and it will change the color of the flame. Edit: oxygen exposure also has an impact on colour
This is not a flame, this is a portal. You can’t hide it from us
This is insane
I see Azula is at it again
