Also don’t you walk over something wet first so your feet are wet?

The Leidenfrost effect will let you dip a wet hand (very briefly) into molten lead without injury, but the time and heat scales are very different from walking on coals. If you're counting on ash as insulation, I'd think you'd want dry feet. edit: Wikipedia posted:Wet feet can cause embers to cling to them, increasing the exposure time.

Imagine being the 25th person to walk across the coals after the first 24 got burned for not being spiritual enough or whatever

You can walk over hot coals without burning yourself as long as your feet are wet due to the Leidenfrost effect but you really have to do it just right. If not, it goes exactly like you see here.

You also have to wait for the coals to cool down and get an ash layer. Oh god lmao they might have been using charcoal

Also, I wouldn't want to go last. Wouldn't dozens of people walking over them ahead of you risk mixing the coals with embers?

The trick is to just pee in front of you as you walk.

Yeah but think of how much the meteorite would be worth if it had hit you. (Last time it happened, the woman did not get a good payday.)

I think what’s more inexplicable is that the decor of this morning show seems to feature a picture of the queen.

A little followup from earlier this year: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/01/17/scientists-study-trajectory-of-meteorite-that-landed-in-bc-in-october.html It's an "L chondrite", a type of relatively common meteorite where many of the ones that are found show signs of having been blasted apart from a larger body about 470 million years ago.

I was about to post this, also I'm disappointed/surprised wikipedia doesnt have a category of meteorites that have " 'hit' people". like theres literally only like a handful of cases so far in recorded modern journalism I think.

A 90s pop sci book "Rain of Fire and Ice" posited tens of thousands of fatalities from meteors, mostly from a few destroyed towns, one on France iirc and one or two in China, based on local lore that scientists discount because there weren't, the book gripes, any accredited, certified scientists present in 600 AD or whenever to properly collect evidence.
