Like, how were there forest fires and stuff? I'm sure that most modern fires are caused by discarded cigarettes and crossed power lines and stuff, but that's all directly or indirectly caused by humanity. I guess that lightning or like lava could set stuff on fire, but that seems like really edge case stuff. How do fires start in the middle of the mountains or the forest and places? I know some species of plants are evolved to utilize natural fires as part of their reproduction process, so it's got to be a somewhat regular thing, and have been a thing for millions of years already. How did fires happen for millions of years before humanity?

after a little research, i discovered that Pistachio nuts have a tendency to spontaneously combust when stored in large compacted amounts http://www.tis-gdv.de/tis_e/ware/nuesse/pistazie/pistazie.htm#selbsterhitzung quote:

Sometimes it's just really hot and dry and vegetation is clustered just right such that a little bit heats up and sparks the rest. Some plants also have highly flammable sap. Also plants do actually move and rub against each other more than we realise. Also gods and fire elements were more active before humans took over.

That's crazy. Moon Atari posted:Sometimes it's just really hot and dry and vegetation is clustered just right such that a little bit heats up and sparks the rest.

I don't think this is true.

Crow stole fire from the karatgurk in order to cook his yams, but was startled by bunjil and the other birds demanding he share his fire, causing him to drop embers everywhere starting a bush fire and burning his feathers black.

Wildfires are naturally occurring and overall beneficial to the state of wild forests. It only gets bad when meddling humans put up expensive flammable houses in its way or decide to plant specific trees en masse.

Jesus Christ OP read a book. Everyone knows fire came from the fingernails of great goddess, Mahuika. The only reason humans can make it at all is because Maui tricked her into throwing her last toenail at him, and it got stuck in some trees.
