One of the California wildfires was started by a couple shooting a tannerite (exploding) target to announce the sex of rhe baby. It is not the first time this has happened either.

A gender reveal party used a small explosion to make a puff of coloured smoke to “reveal” the sex of the baby.
This started a grass fire that set off one of the major fires on the west coast of USA.

@Bracken_Joy and @LadyDuck: thank you! I was getting the gist of this from the memes, but missed the actual news.
Going back to putting my head in the sand now.

This, but its a genetic testing result on a bit of paper that says “Chromosome consistent with male”.

My cousin just sent me this after a discussion on how we (as upper-middle/lower-upper class white Americans) are closer in overall wealth to homeless people than to the REALLY rich people in the US, yet so many of our peers are all “but moar taxes on rich people are bad!”
That’s $123.8 billion, btw

I believe in 2018 a couple in AZ did this (maybe they started the trend 
) and started a fire as well.
ETA: I just looked it up, and the fire they started ended up being 47,000 acres and costing 8 million. Some people’s children

Happened locally too (no big fire), as well as blowing up granny. These are separate incidents.

I would like to light those 2020 candles and see if they melted nicely into the rice, or ended up melting the plastic container.

Container.

Definitely container. Burnt plastic smell, burnt rice spilling everywhere, and the candles are probably those trick kind that keep relighting over and over and over.
