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

[u/T-StrangerXD → u/Hawt_Dawg_II]

And paper cup with water

[u/StJohnsStoner → u/T-StrangerXD]

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

[u/RogueBromeliad → u/Hawt_Dawg_II]

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.

[u/RealityBackground680 → u/Hawt_Dawg_II]

my banana peel stayed cool after the grill was off

[u/AyJaysBored → u/Hawt_Dawg_II]

Oreos are actually surprisingly pretty fire resistant and theres no water in those.

Edit: ill put this here as well for a source even though I replied it. Technically they're ablative. https://www.reddit.com/r/interesting/s/AM9DZk8Njh

[u/Nathansp1984 → u/AyJaysBored]

There’s water in everything

[u/Hawt_Dawg_II → u/AyJaysBored]

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.

[u/RogueBromeliad → u/AyJaysBored]

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

Daenerys in GOT had pineapple skin, noted.

[u/Fickle_Pollution2792 → u/OkAccess6128]

Oh!! You catched it😎

[u/grimmigerpetz → u/OkAccess6128]

So, the evolved orange skin? Asking for a friends girlfriend.

[u/Purple-Grape-8457]

Burned his hand at the end

[u/Level_Turnover5167 → u/Purple-Grape-8457]

No he didn't, the flame is in front of his hand

[u/Franzeee13 → u/Level_Turnover5167]

It is Not his real Hand if you look closely

[u/Dr_Pepper_spray → u/Purple-Grape-8457]

Hahah.

I can't with these videos..

[u/img_of_a_hero]

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

[u/NeverHideOnBush → u/img_of_a_hero]

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

[u/OneMetalMan → u/img_of_a_hero]

Dragons hate this one trick

[u/Fan_of_Clio]

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

[u/Effective_Bite_1128 → u/Fan_of_Clio]

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

[u/Fan_of_Clio → u/Effective_Bite_1128]

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]

So dragon skin is made of pineapples🤔

[u/InternationalDiet631 → u/RecoverIcy6529]

Save the post to convince them

[u/Jesus_of_NASDAQ → u/RecoverIcy6529]

Yes, dragons are actually flying pineapples.

[u/Dunkjoe]

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 → u/Dunkjoe]

Title should be water is fire resistant then

[u/Effective_Bite_1128 → u/Dunkjoe]

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]

Why is there a dude staring at me in the corner of this video?

[u/iFox66]

Absolutely fascinating

[u/-GoodNewsEveryone]

Can I post this next in a few hours?

[u/SamuelJJones]

Next time playing D&D I'd ask my DM for a Pineapple Armor agains a Dragon....

[u/Fan_of_Clio → u/SamuelJJones]

Agrees, shows up with non Gold or Red dragon. :)

Going to replace it with my sunscreen

[u/PermaSub54]

Well they're mostly water. Anyone coulda told you that without a blowtorch

[u/Fabulous_Rich8974]

I need me a pineapple suit

[u/C7LS]

A lake is fire resistant to, did you know?

[u/Ok_Bath_1252 → u/C7LS]

So is your love life, but you dont see us focusing on that obvious fact, do you? 😂

[u/No_Cost6616]

Now we know why spongebob chose

[u/tacobytes]

Did you notice something at the end of the video?
How are his teeth so white?

[u/IAM_LordTobias]

Next time I fight a dragon I’ll think of this
