“wild” is certainly one way to describe it

It wasn’t that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.

If the flame reached the tank, there wouldn’t have been an immediate explosion, no fuel, but the oxygen getting everywhere could have gotten your house much closer to burnt down.

I more meant the jet powered flaming snake flipping around on the floor setting the place on fire. We didn’t believe in fire retardants back then.

I’d love to know what you are actually trying to achieve.
Hey Grandma I want to get blown up, it’s the hot new trend.

I was a smart stupid kid, and a bit of a pyro. I had figured out putting oxygen on a fire made it bigger but I didn’t have a concept of an oxidizer, I thought it was a fuel like propane/butane. So I cranked up the oxygen bottle and put a lighter to the end of the tube thinking it would make a little blow torch. It did, but not in the way I was expecting.
