Instead of stop drop and roll, simply drop and roll. This technique lowers your actions by more than 20%

And also, your forward momentum helps with the rolling part.

Im burning a dead tree and ive found it alot safer to break it into its component pieces (sticks) and burning them in a controlled fashion

If all your friends start forest fires that does not mean that you have to start them as well. A real friend would understand that you're just a pussy.

Its illegal to even have a campfire soon as fire season starts. Gotta get all the burning done now.

Pissing on your own balls in a fire scenario would be a time wasting and potentially deadly move - to you

Fine then piss on my balls.

e: everyone piss on my balls! Surely enough of it will splash onto the rest of my corpulent frame to put out most fires.

The chance of me needing to piss and being able to piss on your burning balls is tiny. This scenario would be so rare we cant call it a lifehack.

Firefighters use a technique called controlled back burning to make firebreaks in order to prevent the spread of wildfires, you can apply this technique yourself, just set yourself on fire beforehand because you cannot ignite what is already burned.

AbbadonOfHell: Jul 16, 2004; You know I would try to think of something funny to put here but ill just pass on that and threaten people with a + 2 board with a nail in it.

Always be slathered in fire retardant gel. That way if you get caught on fire you'll have more time to drop and roll before it burns you.

wrong. also there are chemicals that are so super reactive they will burn up water, steel, concrete, etc. so a jealous non-aqueous breather could still kill you this way if they were determined/rich enough

Firefighters hate him! Local kid figures out how to make your whole house fireproof:

I read once that nail polish remover is "highly inflammable", so now I pretty much dump it all over my place every few days. Now, my whole house is safe from fire!

Wait we were just having a conversation about that. Did we decided yay or nay on pissing on flaming balls things?

Edit: need to know quick as Nefarious balls are very tiny, so will be all burnt up in only a few secounds.

Be constantly on fire.

You will get used to it soon enough. Then fire will hold no terror, only ecstasy and delight.

DrPossum: May 15, 2004; i am not a surgeon

kill yourself and reduce your being to that of a skeleton

if you were to catch on fire, your burning flesh would be considered as damage whereas a flaming skeleton receives two extra hit die (+2d6)

bonus
