    I mean it isn’t ideal, but getting stuck in inaction is probably still better than throwing water on it

    The chaotic evil way to win this argument is to send the “water” person to prove it.

    You might lose or badly maim a (soon-to-be-former) friend and burn your house down, but you’ll still win.

    I know nobody here would, but if you put water on a grease fire, depending on how much oil there is, it will explode in a huge fireball.

    This is because oil floats on water, so the water almost immediately sinks under the oil, but then, because of the heat stored in the oil, the water will also boil almost instantly. Because the water quickly turned into steam, it also expands quickly, which is an explosion, and all of that burning oil on top of the water will be flung in all directions.

    That’s why you should never put water on a grease fire.
