> You just gave me a sad idea where there are people who exist to adulthood who have never burned paper or seen it burn first-hand.
Done that, never again. I thought it would be cool to burn my paper print of some key material. Opened the door, put a lighter to the paper on the landing just a step from the door.
The paper did not burn cleanly as I imagined, and I had soon rather large pieces of burned paper flying inside my apartment. Not burning, luckily, but brittle and becoming ash wherever I tried to catch them or pick them up.
Learned my lesson: Put paper into a fireproof container, then burn it.
