It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

For reasons, I've borne witness to portable propane tanks punctured in high velocity impacts. Sadly, unless there's an ignition source or substantial friction/heat, the propane will just vaporize into gas and vent away [citation needed]. From what I observed, the tank made a great big impact noise and lots of wooshing, but no flames or explosion.
We then tried it again with a small tea candle nearby and the results were more spectacular.
It's a bomb not a republican rally
Wouldn't there be sparks that could cause ignition?
It's not quite like that. It's such high pressure that it needs a strong flame to become lit otherwise the pressure of expansion overwhelms the ignition source. Aka it blows itself out.
You can make sure there are ...
(Disclaimer: just a joke, do not create actual propane bombs at home or anywhere else)
