Okay, so first of all, you've just made a reply to me that is in two unrelated parts. The first is unrelated to anything I said. As long as you comport yourself in this manner, you will only be met with derision. It is a nonsense method of communication.

Oil burns but old oak is not oil. It's just too dry.

Tfw your wood is too dry to burn so you have to soak it in water for a while

A common way to start forest fires is to pour water over the campfire

No joke, a lot of forest fires were started like that.

I’m guessing it’s people not realizing how much water it takes to put it out. I remember a few times camping where a whole container of water would seemingly put out a fire only to see it burning again when I had to piss in the middle of the night.

Thanks Steve, I'm headed out to the woods today with a friend to camp near a little creek. I'll take your advice and soak all our firewood for a few minutes in the babbling brook and come back in a couple days to let you know just how warm it kept us.

Anything to help, buddy. Can't have dry firewood

How do these people survive?

/u/PLUTO_HAS_COME_BACK can you answer this?

Actually these videos explained by some retard PROVE that Notre Dame was set on fire by Jewish Muslims. The fire was also a hologram

Why do you call them retard? Do you think you're above them that far? One of them is the lead architect who was restoring Notre Dame.

You must have a PhD then. Then line to line counter what they said.

WELDING TORCHES CAN'T IGNITE WOOD BEAMS!!

Well, you can make it wet in anything, other than (holy) water.

Do you unironically think that wood can be too dry to burn

Oak has oil. It can dry. It's not water.

NREL Pine and Oak Oils - page 31 https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/5983

When oak (or wood) burns, the char forms on the surface and blocks fire reaching inner wood, unless there is intense heat in the surroundings.

Oak oil can help forming of char quickly, preventing fire getting inside of the oak tree. The oil itself could extinguish the fire as it oozing out at fast rate.

When the oak wood gets very old, it is very dry in terms of oil. Depends on its thickness, and surrounding air temperature and the temperature in the oak wood, it determines how fire affects it. That means intense heat is needed to keep the char burning as ember on the surface.

Here what the expert has to say - https://np.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/bfb668/old_oak_does_not_burn_that_way_said_the_expert/

Intense heat... like when there's a structure fire?

πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

Sure!! But we have to know how that began. Don't forget to watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Piwi4HBCLZ4

Is your retardation painful for you? It can't be, right? You seem to enjoy it

What are you saying? I have no idea how smart you are!! Explain, please!!

Notre Dame doesn't exist actually

Notre Dame

Wiki claims it does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_Paris

Wikipedia is propaganda. Imagine believing something that anyone could edit πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Then just google it

trusting Google

How stupid are you.

Now you believe the fire did happen to Notre Dame, don't you?

No, fire doesn't actually exist

Yeah yeah!!!

Dry doesn't mean moisture content is zero.But they didn't soak the timber in water either. But no natural timber is wet when they are used to build such a great building. And they don't build it not expecting fire so they make sure about that. Architects are smart so trust them. Here dry means much less moisture content. Yet timber does not burn as you expect. This is the property of wood - see the comment https://np.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/bkicml/german_craftsman_proves_notre_dame_fire_wasnt_an/emh1q6x/?context=3

SOAK LOGS IN WOOD

I don’t usually find TMOR interesting but oh my

Every time I think they've peaked they knuckle down and show us what real stupid looks like. They're a blessing.

Is Notre Dame gonna be the new 9/11 for conspiracycels?

The Jews Muslims who did this?

TMOR used to be good and conspiracy was constantly entertaining until politics ruined both of them.

Notre Dame is not built with firewoods.

Built with that well-known non-flammable wood I see. So who could burn down such a non-flammable structure?

No doubt the satanists

Jews=satanists

oh

I don't get it, these types usually hate Catholics.

A thick, century-old piece of oak definitely requires far far more effort to incinerate than the kind of wood I use in a fireplace or bonfire (maybe dried for two to ten years, and certainly not charred for fire resistance.

And when starting a bonfire, if all your firewood comes in big pieces, you need a good construction and kindling to get it started.

French TV round-table with the guy who was in charge of renovations and re-building the fire safety system.


As an aside: here's an interview with him, published after the fire, talks a lot about his Notre Dame work, but doesn't mention the fire at all, so I assume the interview took place right before the fire.

SERIOUSPOSTERS ----->

moment of weakness

unacceptable, commit sudoku.

They need to speed up the ban out

Have these retards never built a campfire? You'll never get a big log to burn, you start with tinder and use increasingly thicker twigs. Of course a huge beam won't immediately catch fire when you hold a torch against it, nobody claims it did.

These retards never leave their parents basement.

"Hmmm... I COULD go outside, but then I could also just stay hunched over my computer..."

Have these retards never built a campfire?

It's been my experience around America that even being able to start a campfire makes you something like a wizard to at least 1/3 of the population.

Based and Prometheuspilled

It's reached the point where I've seen adults be confused when we start burning some old newspapers.

Starting a campfire with a lighter isn't hard, doing it without any tools is black magic imo. I've tried a few times but always just gotten bored and grabbed a lighter.

Some pseudo survivalist types like to use some kind of Flint tool that makes sparks, I'm like come on, if you're bringing tools anyway you may as well grab a damn lighter and save yourself some trouble. You're not going to run out of fluid unless you walk the Appalachian Trail or something.

Of course you don't go full retard and try to directly light the wood with the lighter, I think some people might be retarded to do that. Where I lived we always just used fallen leaves. You can also use various kinds of wood, like if you live in a piney area certain parts of the tree (mainly the stump and knots that connect to branches) are soaked in resin which will light up like gasoline. In hick country we call this 'lighter'd'. Or you can use really thin normal wood, usually easiest just to slice out a bunch of really small pieces from a larger branch. However I pretty much never used these methods though because, come the fuck on, leaves are everywhere, no way I'm going to go find a resinous pine stump or spend a bunch of time shaving a twig into slivers when I can just pick up some leaves and throw it on the wood.

😴😴😴

I am a bot. Contact for questions

I usually bring both a lighter and Flint striker. Redundancy when in the Backcountry is good practice imo. I've never had to use the flint except for once when I lost the lighter lol

You're forgetting the important step where you douse your tinder with a bucket of water because it's too dry

They seem to be under the impression that Notre Dame consists entirely of huge beams and literally nothing else that could serve as kindling. Oh and even though it was under renovation there is no possible way there could have been anything that could serve as an accelerant inside it.

you seem to be under the impression that the space that burned was connected with the space that regular people see when they visit the cathedral (the part that contains the benches, fabric, books, wooden statues etc.)

it is not.

they're separated by a stone ceiling, consisting of several large arches, two of which collapsed towards the end of the fire.

No, I'm under the impression that an active construction site is fucking filled with materials that can serve as kindling/accelerants.

you have no idea what you're talking about, boy

There is no possible way there might have been saw dust or cut wood scraps present during the renovation, no possible way.

Is this the new "jet fuel can't melt steel beams"?

Fire can't burn wood beams

Combustion is a (((((Jewish))))) myth

Whenever you mention DEW in cases like this people start mocking you, and saying things like "you mean like on star wars? pew pew pew? lolololol" as if lasers weren't invented 60 years ago.

These mongs also claim 9/11 and last years California wildfires could only have been the result of a DEW (directed-energy weapon). Well... the ones who don't think 9/11 was all CGI, or holograms, or nuclear weapons, or earthquake weapons, or...fml.

nukes were used on 9/11 btw

Why isnt THIS man president

Imagine being such a retad conspiracycels downvote you

Holy shit u/zenmasterzen3 is literally actually the stupidest person I have ever seen on reddit. u/ed__butteredtoast on suicide watch

Some one call him back from the land of capeshit/dragonshit.

Absolute awe at this lad. TIL the World Trade Center buildings were made out of 100% steel, and nothing whatsoever that could become dust when destroyed, such as drywall or insulation.

Dude the government covered up Manhattan getting glassed. That's why there are so many immigrants there, the libs imported them after killing off the aboriginal wihites of the area with the nuke.

Notre Dame burned AT FREE FALL SPEED!

fire can't melt wooden beams

Fred Durst can be on tour with Limp Bizkit AND teach us about the flammability of lumber? A true Renaissance Man.

wow, a sub full of unlikeable know-it-alls in a neverending pissing contest. awesome!

it's not

lmao at anyone who still refuses to admit it was obviously muslims like the other hundreds of church attacks

Yeah, we all know exactly what happened 5000 miles away.

no we dont know exactly but it obviously involves enraged muslims like it literally always does

So you think contractors have never done a shitty job of wiring in the history of wiring shit?

i mean its less common than muslims destroying shit

Cheap contractors fuck up all the time

and muslims burn churches all the time

hundreds of times in the last few years in fact

why is everyone so scared to admit the obvious lol

How is that obvious? Do you guys ever get tired of being wrong or do you just want to shit stir against Muslims.

name an instance where ive been wrong please

remember how i was making fun of russia tards since the election when like 80% of this sub was genuinely convinced it was a real thing

The Muslims didn't do enough tbh. Inshallah

theres a lot of people that didnt do enough

Yeah, they're called intelligent

i was kinda hinting toward something but doesnt seem like you picked up on it

(hitler)

Muslims killed Hitler πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

oh no!

I started a full on riot in CA before they got nuked by pissing on this stupid meme.

Ahktually, hardwood that’s been seasoned in a hot attic above a cathedral is super inflammable. Steel rods can’t melt wood beams!

Fucking retards we honestly need to do something about these people.

This just in: people who have never been outside long enough to make a campfire don't know that large, thick wooden beams don't ignite instantly and require sustained intense heat.

sustained intense heat.

Like in a structure fire πŸ€”
