      Butane lighters where it's under pressure and comes out like a little jet engine. It just makes my inner 12yo boy smile.

        Yes, but it is typically used for milk, like so:

          oh nice, I didn't know you could make condensed milk from grass trimmings. Though I guess that explains how cows do it

            All the time you read in papers about spontaneous combustion. You turn around and think silently: "Fate will surely spare me."

                LOL, I did not know about that, and it's stupid and cool.

                I just use THIS with the flame set higher than it strictly needs to be.

                    I think my favorite form of combustion is the slow and gradual oxidization of all life on this planet that leads us all towards inescapable death.

                    It happens so slow that it can take 120 years to finally burn you to a crisp, but it will always, always destroy you, and there's nothing you can do to escape it.

                        Friction.

                        Be super hot to rub two dicks together until they ignite.

                        No. That isn't a typo.

                          You can try, but all of you is on fire, and if the fire goes out you die

                            Deflagration-to-detonation transitions are pretty cool but my all-time favorite would be acoustic strobes.

                              Joke's on you! Nothing's going to happen to me in my sealed hyperbaric chamber!

                                  I'm a fire performer. Slow motion, high framerate shots of anything involving fire in the dark are absolutely gorgeous. Every flame is beautiful, you just have to know where to look. My favorites are candles and lycopodium.

                                  Personal favorite form of combustion is fire eating. I used to fire eat on the cast at Coney Island. There's a lot of vapor tech you can do that is straight up witchcraft, like hiding a flame inside your mouth.

                                  I've done a lot with various forms of fire, ama

                                        Lots of practice and lots of safety precautions. The more advanced stuff is flaming vapor manipulation with the mouth, don't try it at home since that's something you really don't want to inhale. There's a major psychological aspect to all of it too.
