I've seen an actual dumpster fire. I was the person who reported it and pulled the fire alarm in the building it was sitting next to. Let me tell you, it's hard to look away from a good dumpster fire.

I saw it when it was smoking with just a small flame. When I pulled the alarm in the residential building next to it, I also grabbed an extinguisher, but it was too dangerous to climb back up by the time I got back out there. I thought I might be able to slow it down but it quickly raged out of control and became a beautiful spectacle of destruction.This Reddit thing is like that for me.

(the building was not damaged, thankfully, but I have different hopes for Reddit since they're shunning the very things that built them)
