    Needs to be pressurized. Else nothing happens (as in homeopathy where nothing happens; not sure what is hard to understand here honestly). I know how a fire works. But whatever, I’m done with this comment chain.

    I wished I wouldn’t live on this planet anymore. Fuck all y’all.

      Try and put out a fire with an empty fire extinguisher, tell me how far you get and whether it had a positive (less fire) or negative (same or more fire) effect.

      The point is the method is not effective and allowing the problem to continue makes the problem harder to deal with.

      Edit: a full fire extinguisher is pressurized unless it utilizes a hand pump, so filled with air denotes that it would be pressurized or that the medium used is air and will be pumped (which will behave like a bellows).

      An unpressurized extinguisher is considered empty unless it is manually operated.
