This looks like a firehazard right when it cuts

My thoughts exactly. A lot of faith to be had in the fact that the neck would stick from the molten wax. If it doesn't, it will roll off on the floor.

u/Olde94 8h ago

the left flame is longer than the middle so it will burn off eventually

It isn’t a fire hazard anymore, it’s a fire starter

The trouble starter, punkin' instigator

Since this video is 9 years old I think that worry is long gone.

Burning the candle at both... three ends?

Looking at reality . . .
Yeah, feels familiar.

I didn’t expect it to stick in the end. Nice!

The final stick was the perfect payoff. I thought it would just collapse into a puddle, but instead it completed its own tiny wax circuit.

Same, that little self-connection at the end made the whole thing weirdly satisfying.

Thet's why it's oddly unsetling. I thought this was r/WCGW

I'm too paranoid for shit like this, would expect it to fail and burn my gaff down

u/BlueLegion 2h ago

only when you're not looking

u/old-skool-bro 1h ago

Obviously 😂

u/Dinsy_Crow 9h ago edited 8h ago

Then the bottom flame burn down faster than the left one, dropping the still lit section? Seems risky

Ngl wrong subreddit: /r/gifsthatendtoosoon

Not this again. Stop posting it - it’s not satisfying at all. You deleted your last post.

u/cottonmouthVII 5h ago

Who is upvoting this? Goddamn this place is nothing but bots. Nothing is remotely satisfying about it.

A THRANDLE!

This is NOT how drip candles work, dagnabbit!

we need to see until the end

It is so incredibly impractical... not satisfying.

A candle for renters not homeowners

"How'd you burn your house down?"

"Candle designed to fall apart with extra flamey bits."

"Oh damn, some things really are just a freak accident"

u/Bowling4rhinos 3h ago

I was not expecting that!

u/lessthandave89 3h ago

There's burning the candle at both ends, then there's this, which is more like my work life balance

u/BigZucchini2090 10h ago

Burning art

u/ellipsoidslipstream 7h ago

Wait how does the left side stay up? Just by holding on with that tiny bit of melted wax?

u/sunny0_0 2h ago

This is still pretty stupid.

This says a lot about society!!!

Are there any candles that DON’T burn through themselves? 🤔

Burning the candle from three ends

u/bonnydoe 10h ago

A different color candle might have given some satisfaction, but all I see is a burning pigtail.

Making a three wick candle the hard way.

Such cool candle - wonder where to get them

It went from a solo act to a dramatic trilogy!

That was satisfying!
