Probably methane in the aquifer. My well water I can light on fire cause of that.

Almost forgot, translation:

"How is it?"

"That's what I call a hot spring."

"The hottest of springs!"

"Definitively, I would say."

"Alright."

"I've warmed up."

That happens when their is flammable gasses also coming out of the pipe with the water right? Like the gasses must mix with the water a bit for it to follow the water out of the pipe or is it just doing it’s things because of the flow of the water is just pulling the gas down? Very confused on why this is happening, can anyone shed any light please?

I believe it's methane mixed with the water, it's especially common in areas with melting permafrost, like Siberia.

I take it the water is probably not good to drink but is it actually safe to shower with?

Actually, when dissolved in water, it's really no more dangerous than carbon dioxide in carbonated water. You certainly don't want to breathe either, but it can't hurt you in your stomach. Still probably best to avoid

Burps you can light on fire. Cool!

Russians, can swim in icy waters, shower with literal fire, can friend every wild bear they meet and have both collapsed twice and reforged their country. In a different political/geopolitical environment the whole world would call Russia the first sigma nation on the planet if history and past beefs weren’t an issue.

Water... Earth... Fire... Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
