Practically everything humans do is throwing rocks and setting things on fire!
Guns: setting a fire that throws a rock really hard!
Rocketry: sitting inside a rock and using a big fire to throw ourselves into orbit
Particle Accelerators: hurling the tiniest rocks we could find at each other so hard and so fast that they make special fire that we observe to divine the secrets of the universe.
I keep a skinny rock in my pocket for making shitposts on the internet.
Computers: special fire and tiny rocks working in perfect synchronization to display cat pictures and porn
And what is that special fire made of? You guessed it, water set on fire.
Not entirely. The other half of human activity is mixing dirt and plants and bones together to see what happens.
And what usual happens when you start mixing random shit together? Fire
Sewage.
Nukes, big fire rocks that throws tiny fire rocks at your DNA.
We're also good at using rocks to set things on fire
