Of course I know him. He’s me!

[ummthatguy@lemmy.world]

I know a set of brothers who all have this ingrained. They have each said at one point or another "You gotta fuck the fire."

Hope the intent has/will always be basic firepit maintenance.

In my experience, they’ve been Mexican or Puerto Rican. Though those are my two main travel destinations, so there might be some selection bias. Both for me and the meme

DONT HATE it’s all he’s got

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

I kind of get that way but I've never really realized it was obsessive behavior until this meme pointed it out.

[darkassassin07@lemmy.ca]

There's something really cathartic about placing shit in a firepit and just watching it burn away.

Evolved trait

[takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Well, technically without him there would be no fire.

I feel like it's a do-or-die caveman instinct or something.

I was hanging out with a group of people in my friend's backyard. We were supposed to have a bonfire, but the wood was wet and wasn't burning. We used all sorts of fuel, fire starters, etc. I saw what looked like corner of a log turn into ember, so wouldn't give up. Never got a flame when we were there, of course.

I felt very proud though when my friend sent me door camera footage of the firepit turning into a massive blaze in the middle of night that woke her up.

I’m the one obsessively scavenging for wood around the camp site to keep that wood pile healthy.

[swagmoney@lemmy.ca]

[beardedgingerwonder@feddit.uk]

Yeah, you look like you're the type alright.

[breecher@sh.itjust.works]

I didn't know it was a racial trait.

[javiwhite@feddit.uk]

" ...some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the wood burn "

sorry you had to find out this way
