minus-square@historical_garlic383@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish12•2 years agoI saw an article a while back talking about how Yahweh was originally a volcano god. A lot of interesting comparisons- like pillar of fire, lightning, dark clouds…
minus-square@Burninator05@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•2 years agoMaybe but it seems unlikely that people 2000+ years ago would have a way to refine pure oxygen.
minus-square@satans_crackpipe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•2 years agoI don’t think oxygen makes stuff auto-combust. It’s very flammable and might corrode stuff, but still needs a flame.
minus-square@FiskFisk33@startrek.websitelinkfedilink4•2 years agoIncreased presence of oxygen does lower the auto ignition temperature, for some substances to room temperature, so, yes and no I guess.
minus-square@satans_crackpipe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoRight on. I know that I don’t know much chemistry.
