Ah, but what about if the marshmallow is in the form of an offering to Pele?  Wouldn't she protect the supplicant?

Dear Trent,

Reminds me of a wonderful quote from the late great Sir Terry Pratchett ( taken from the book "Thief of Time" ).

Quote
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

I will now read posts very carefully and then using the two God given brains cells that I have reply as if I am talking to a two year old, yes that should suffice as a gentle reminder✝️✝️✝️❤️

Considering that the reasons given for not doing it were not the reasons I was expecting, it was not necessarily a stupid question.

Agreed. There’s nothing to suggest that the questioner was actually contemplating such a thing, and the answer told me something I didn’t know before.
