Good to know. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] azerial@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago Oh no it's super flammable. You can make fire starters with that shit. Last week my appointment complex insisted on cleaning out my dryer everything with a really cool vacuum, and I was sick, but let them.
