    Put simply smoke doesn’t have to be hot. Smoke is just unburnt fuel caused by a process called offgassing (solid turning to a gas).

    An example of cooled down smoke is a fire that starts in a well sealed room. It burns through as much fuel as possible, and while the solids are hot they turn into gas, however, due to a lack of oxygen, you don’t necessarily see combustion. So then the fire snuffs itself out and what you are left with is a cooling smoke.

    So let’s say that the fire is on an upper floor. Heat goes up, cold goes down. So as smoke travels through a building it cools, and may eventually sink towards the ground or a lower level (this can be especially possible in a building as large as a cathedral) smoke sinks and interacts with bees at a “manageable temperature”.

    Tldr: smoke isn’t always hot. The bees are happy.












  • In my opinion, people don’t mind hearing what you have to say. I wouldn’t call an upvote content. So I think comments and posts, if you are feeling daring on any given day, make for a better experience and let’s people be more social.

    Basically, if everyone says something and interacts, this place will feel a lot more lively.


  • Best way to have active accounts is to avoid lurking. I’ve found myself falling into the trap where I act like I’m on reddit or YouTube and I don’t want to give them free user engagement. The exact opposite of Lemmy.

    So yeah. Don’t lurk. Lurking bad.








  • I work with my local sheriff department as a cadet of sorts. We are dedicated to volunteering around the county and doing stuff for the community. I really enjoy it because it helps people and makes people trust in law enforcement for the little things.

    I’ll agree with a lot of people. Police are in a rough patch that unfortunately has led to a lot of distrust between police and the community they serve. That is exactly why I love volunteering where I do. I am actively building connections in the department I plan on working in, and building connection with the community I eventually hope to serve.

    I am also going to be brought into my local volunteer fire department starting February, so I’m really excited to start that too.
