PhysicsForums mentioned on The Action Lab YouTube video

I came across this YouTube Short from The Action Lab. I thought it was pretty cool that he searched Reddit and PhysicsForums when researching a reason for the effect.

Just goes to show that PF does a good job of setting the bar high.

The thread I found on this here doesn't actually say anything about a flame being required: https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...nto-cold-water-a-dangerous-combination.83794/. Perhaps I missed the thread the guy in the video is talking about.

OK, I may have been a little shallow there, but I'll still bet money on who comes out successful in the end.

Then again, it being @scottdave I'm not sure at all. I'll mayby just crawl into this hole over here....

That thread is 20 years old, perhaps there is something more recent?

The text he shows does not look like PF either. I will ask which thread they are referring to.
