"isnt a fire just like a mini sun?"
No.
No it's not.
This was during a discussion of how to use sunlight to bleach stains. This girl thought that she could do the same thing by putting her stained items under heat lamps or in front of a fire. And even after quite a lot of explaining she doesn't seem to grasp that it's not the heat of sunlight that bleaches things, it's the LIGHT part!
As this was on the internet I don't know the age of the person here, but I really pray she's very young. Or dropped out of school. Or something. Because I would just cry if this was somebody my age with any kind of education at all.
But even discounting education, HOW does anybody not notice that sunlight is thousands or even millions of times brighter than firelight? HOW?!!!!! You can turn on a regular house lamp and your fire no longer looks bright at all, and then you go from the house lights out into sunshine and it's blindingly bright by comparison!
*cough*
Yeah, this comment really bugged me. GAH. STUPID PEOPLE.
