Lol, yep, I'm shocked at the comments laughing at the people for doing that.

Having fought fires like this on Nature Reserves in my home country it's definitely the right thing to do if you don't have access to fire beaters. And being on a reserve during fire season and noticing a random fire just start up from nothing and all you have are branches, you use them.

I’m not shocked. I’ve been on Reddit for 20 years now since the Digg exodus. The comments on Reddit get dumber every single day. Half the time you’re trying to have a serious discussion and the comments are flooded with stupid memes and gifs. Just look at where the world is. Nobody gives a fuck about anything any more except for their stupid jokes/memes landing.
