    Reddit is people.

    people are horrible

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    So I decided to tell the story on reddit about the guy in my dads unit who put out a joint on c4 in an ammo dump and it the ensuing fire/explosion took out the entire vietnamese fire department. Some dickcheese responds "c4 is not flammable and can only be set off by a specific detonator. You are lying. Mythbusters". Nevermind the first friggin result for "is c4 flammable" is a video of c4 burning and being flammable. Yet i got 7 downvotes and the guy got 5 upvotes. Good lord reddit is such a cess pool of bullshit.

    You'd probably want to tell the story as the C4 caught fire and the fire made something else go boom. People tend to confuse flammable and explosion with explosives.

    They are arguing about whether a cigarette or paper on fire is sufficient to act as an ignition source for the explosion.
    That is the essence of that particular episode.

    Which it isn't, it has to be extreme heat or a shockwave. It's not going to be set off by a cigarette.

    Maybe you can light it on fire and get a bonfire going with it and then it'll explode.

    For C4 to be an explosive, you require detonation.
    So the story might mislead and make them think the cigarette caused explosion which is obviously different from being on fire.

    it's great, chat is full of images from the front page of reddit (sometimes they claim they get them from imgur to achieve distance- but imgur was made by a reddit user and is basically reddit's image repository) but errone pretends like it's leprous

    C4 can only be set off by a detonator.

    The odds of a detonator being set off by burning C4 in an ammo dump is... not low.

    C4, like most explosives including shit like gasoline, is flammable but not particularly dangerous if simply lit on fire. It requires a little primer charge, something to break it up, vaporize it, whatever, to get a critical air mixture for it to transition from burning to exploding. Who knows what happened to the c4 after the guy put out a joint in it in the Vietnamese fire department. Maybe it fell of the floor and exploded. Maybe someone tried to put it out my stomping on it and triggered the explosive reaction. Flaming C4 would just need to be broken apart a little. Maybe there was only a tiny explosion and everyone was rightfully afraid of it and the place burned down pretty conventionally. Or maybe the story isn't true.

    Point is, reddit is a terrible place where people are rewarded with points for snide, ostensibly accurate debunking of stories where there's absolutely nothing at stake and no reason to be so shitty about everything.

    ITT we learn that pedantry is important for good war stories.

    Tends to be. There are a lot of guys who claim military service who didn't. So when they say they were a Marine who went to BUD/S then they are probably full of shit. Since they are claiming to be a Marine that went to SEAL training.

    And judging by the amount of ammunition we found in his house after grandma died, he also often didn't bother to go through the hassle of putting unused ammunition back in the depot after exercises (He was a Fenrik in the home guard.)

    When my uncle called the police and asked what to do with it they said "the Lensmann just went home. Put it in a weapons locker and bring it over on monday." "I've got it in a cardboard box" "Close enough"
