Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It's also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can't burn it, because it's already burnt

For what it's worth, half of them are essentially 'water is wet'. Although as far as thoughts in the shower go, I guess that's fairly reasonable.

Right away it was awful. The only posts were copies from reddit, so I unsubscribed. This one is good, but I'm still wary about the so called default subs that a lot of people moved to from reddit
