My ancestors.
Your ancestors too.
We have the same ancestors.
We’re all really just family you know…
wait… isn’t everyone just technically a cousin fucker? 🤔
That information is lost to pre-history, but probably either Ug or Urg. Those guys were like the Wright Brothers of cave shit.
Prometheus’s dog
Probably a titan. Who created the universe in Greek myth? 🤔
Fire is a fundamental force of nature. Like gravity. So it either wasn’t “invented” or was invented by the universe’s creator if one exists. Newton didn’t invent gravity. He didn’t even discover it. He just found a new way to describe it via numbers instead of words (but also so many words).
Wouldn’t it be Hestia because Prometheus stole it from her?
Various individuals no doubt figured it out independently and then others in their tribe learned it from them. At first people probably took burning material from forest fires and brush fires that had been caused by lightning.
It was Zog
Well, where do you thing Bob got it from?
The famous villain John Fireman. He was eventually killed by firefighters.
Someone flammable, I bet.
Or inflammable.
“‘Inflammable’ means ‘flammable’? What a country!”
It was always originally “inflammable”, as in “able to be inflamed”. It wasn’t until cargo warning placards came around (for trains, I’m sure), that the meaning got muddled up with “unable to be brought to flame”.
There was an official agreement to create the word “flammable”, and use that on warning placards instead.
It’s an old Simpsons quote, from Dr. Nick, a great side character.
I knew it was a quote from somewhere, I just didn’t care. ;)
Ryan
I did.
Their name was Fire.
Similar situation to some of the other early inventors.
