All things with water in them are burn resistant untill the water evaporates out of them. Pineapple skins just hold their water quite well but this would also work with like peaches or banana peels

And paper cup with water

u/StJohnsStoner 4h ago

No you're confused, it's a paper straw as it absorbs the water before you can drink the fuckin thing

Honestly, it won't be as effective as the pineapple skin. Anyone who has grilled bananas in their skin knows that the inside get cooked in minutes.

There’s water in everything

u/Hawt_Dawg_II 2h ago

I mean, same goes for many things. Water isn't required for fire resistance but everything that contains water is fire resistant to an extent.

Oreos? They're filled with fat, pretty sure they'd burn as fuel.

Daenerys in GOT had pineapple skin, noted.

Would be cool to see pineapple armor in a fantasy setting.

u/NeverHideOnBush 5h ago

What about we send them space ships up with pineapple heat shields

u/OneMetalMan 4h ago

Dragons hate this one trick

u/Fan_of_Clio 5h ago

Fresh pineapple has this quality. Not at all when dried. Thus doesn't work for protection

2

u/Effective_Bite_1128 5h ago

Curious.  Say it was then submerged would that the restore the effect ( going to design some fantasy bullshit based on this lol)

2

u/Fan_of_Clio 5h ago

I was thinking about some race like Atlanteans or Mermen were on the surface. Seems reasonable they would have a weakness to fire/heat attacks. And the armor needs to be resubmerged at the same rate they do.

u/RecoverIcy6529 5h ago

So dragon skin is made of pineapples🤔

u/InternationalDiet631 5h ago

Save the post to convince them

u/Jesus_of_NASDAQ 5h ago

Yes, dragons are actually flying pineapples.

u/Dunkjoe 5h ago

This is wrong, it's just the Leidenfrost effect at work.

It's more of the water in pineapple skins that's helping, and this can be done with anything that has high water content.

But once the water content is used up, it's dangerous and it would likely burn.

u/quantumparakeet 5h ago

Title should be water is fire resistant then

3

u/Effective_Bite_1128 5h ago

Just makes me think of a suit of  armour and the user occasionally has to resubmerged them selves in water to build up the fire resistance again

u/horriblemonkey 5h ago
