@@AtrumNoxProductions and tanks of petrol under the wooden table. A house near mine recently burned down because someone used a barbecue inside their shed where they accidentally lit a tank for their lawnmower, and you can guess what happened from there.
This works surprisingly similarly to alarms before timers were a thing. People would put a nail in a candle that was marked with different lengths of time, and when the candle burned to that point it'd drop the nail onto a metal plate to tell them to do what they needed.
Maybe you already knew this, but these candle snuffers were used to “program” how many hours of candlelight you wanted to burn. Or rather, this gave yourself a set time (depending on how high or low you placed the trigger) of candlelight, upon which it blew itself out without you having to get up and do that all throughout the house.
I see only one fire hazard and that is the candle the toothpick will be on fire for o short time and the lego was far enouth to not melt-not catch on fire
It'd be pretty funny if the Band broke before the wood burned smh. You'd end up with a burnt stick, some hardened wax and melted lego with a side dish of plastic fumes lmao
Yeah, because I've lost count how many times I've thought to myself "wow, I really would like to light a candle, but who has the time for that half a second it takes to blow it back out when I leave the room?"
Oh I see in an attempt to get a candle to shut off automatically because you’re not attending it. you launch a possibly burning toothpick across the room. The insurance company’s gonna love that one.

What about two half toothpicks with the points stuck into the candle offset from the center so they don't catch fire, but are released when the wax around them melts.
