@Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works is correct.
I should’ve done my homework before going all “well akshullay 🤓” on them (sorry!).
The only similarities between the two is that they both are chemical reactions that produce a rapid release of energy. But past that, they are much different in how they get to that point.

So what you’re saying is there’s a fundamental difference between the two?

Yes, there are differences. That’s why one is called deflagration and the other is called detonation. But the chemical and thermodynamic processes are identical, and that’s what you seem to misunderstand.

Dude, you’re being a pedant in the comments of a Harry Potter shitpost.
