    In his view, the missing factor is that other animals don’t tend to “wrap themselves up in blankets and drink whiskey and smoke,” he says.

    But what is they did?

    John DeHaan, a forensic scientist, set fire to a pig carcass wrapped in blankets

    Science!

    Smoking causes spontaneous human combustion. Which means it is not spontaneous.

    Why is it that I cannot find a science community that actually posts good science?

    I mean it could be argued that discussing the myth of spontaneous combustion, is in a way pop science for a lot of people and that’s okay.

    But I just can’t seem to find a place that isn’t saturated with either finger-puppet style posts, or completely overwhelmed with new “theories” that are actually just new, jobless phd grads who have to scramble to try to get funding and they’re publishing bullshit to do that.

    Whyyyyyy
