    Gets commented every second time this is posted but:

    “Fire doesn’t discriminate so we don’t either” or something along those lines would’ve been infinitely better.

      It’s an effective advert if the purpose is to increase awareness of fire safety. We have some awful ones in the UK with partially burnt teddy bears and stuff. I think it’s more leveraging popular imagery to deliver that message, rather than expressing LGBT support.

      You can see on the right of the image there is another progress flag with text on it. I think it’s safe to say this image is framed in a way to eliminate the context.

      Fun fact: “the heat death of the universe” refers to the death of heat, not death from heat. Heat itself will die. There will be no more warmth in the universe, everything will end in cold and dark and ice.

        Kinda? All energy will dissipate until everything is the same temperature. Idk what that temperature will be but it might be pretty cold. But heat won’t just, like, go away. It will homogenize.

          The concept of heat as we know it will be gone. If there’s no differences in temperature then there’s no heat.

            Heat - A form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules

            That would still exist. However a “concept” being defined as an idea, would not exist as there would be no living thing to think it up.

            So heat would exist, the “concept of heat” wouldn’t. So your first statement is technically correct. Your second statement is wrong by the primary definition of heat.

                Cool. I don’t know if that aligns the the current theory and frankly, don’t care enough to research it.

                But that doesn’t disprove my statement. Unless all matter juices itself into energy, heat will exist. heat is a property of matter unless said matter is at -273 C (which seems impossible that that is the temperature for the universe to settle on)

                But… I’m not a theoretical physicist and you probably aren’t one either. So we are both out of our depth.

    technically, they’re called the fire brigade, not necessarily the fire prevention brigade

    I suppose this is technically true. One could light a bigot and a trans person on fire and both would die a relatively equally agonizing death.
