Huh?

This true? Toss a 22LR into a fire, and it will not fire?

What should I do with those "dud" 22 long rifle cartridges/bullets
that do not fire? I usually try to fire them a 2nd or 3rd time, but
sometimes they don't fire. So I have this cartridge with bullet
intact with 2 or 3 dents in the rim that I hate to just toss out in
the pasture.
Trash can.

They aren't even dangerous if you throw them in a fire. The case will
split, the bullet will just lay there. Case may move a few inches.

How could it? Think about how a gun works. The bullet is contained in a
chamber that only allows the expanding gas to escape in one direction.
