I specifically wanna be pentaborane, because it has the rare honor of a perfect score on the fire safety diamond. Highly flammable, highly toxic, highly reactive, explodes on contact with air, explodes on contact with water, and lethal amounts can absorb through your skin (if it even gets that far). It was actually considered as a possible jet or rocket fuel in the 1950s and earned the nickname “Green Dragon” because it burns green. But the US government ended up rejecting it because even its exhaust is poisonous. It is in fact so dangerous that the government’s supply of it sat in storage until 2000 because that’s how long it took to invent a safe disposal method - a procedure whose actual scientific name is Dragon Slayer.
subscribe to toxic chemical facts
Me too. I want to subscribe
This is the most metal thing I’ve heard of in the field of chemistry, which is kinda profound given that chemistry defines what a metal is.
I’m probably an oxidizing agent.
f(O2) = CO2
Uh oh. Infinite carbon.
Dangerous when wet…
It’s toxic gas for me, I need to work on my diet.
Dangerous when wet 👀
Look, I’m not afraid of water. I can swim fine. I was a lifeguard ffs. But the water here is always cold, and I’m almost always wearing leather boots amd work pants. I’m not afraid of water, I’m afraid of getting wet. I’ll get very angry if I get wet, because how then am I supposed to get dry? Dangerous when wet describes me well.
I made this after accidentally triggering somebody’s manic psychosis.
Can I steal it to recklessly distribute throughout mystical and mental health meme spaces?
Absolutely!
Fuck yeah. It’s an apt description of the specific way in which I am a menace.
Hail Eris! Hail Discordia!
I might have to print it and put it on a lanyard. Or it sometimes feels like that.
You are subscribed to lemmy mental and mystical meme spaces? May I ask in which instance these are please?
Right off hand there’s Witchy Memes but I meant just as much off Lemmy as on.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot.
Crisis should be crises, plural. I believe this is an example of faulty parallelism.
I considered that spelling as well. I think the plural and singular both fit.
Nope.
Right now the list reads plural, plural, and singular. Parallelism states that all words in a list should have the same form. So they should all be plural, or all singular.
While that is true, it also means various types of alterations in consciousness and paradigm shifts, but there is really only one type of existential crisis.
Well I don’t really agree with that and I also don’t think it’s a solution to faulty parallelism.
There are multiple types of crises, but every existential crisis is an existential crisis. The plurality is negated by the modifier, “existential.”
Not really. A midlife crisis and a psychotic episode could both be called existential crises. I don’t think there’s a hard definition to it like you seem to be asserting.
Toxic gas. Might also be explosive.
Was definitely saying toxic gas. Or at least that’s what my wife says
I came here to make the same “what my wife says” joke about me being toxic gas.
Harmful To Aquatic Life.
(I don’t eat them but do order a lot of stuff online and am often covered in paint.)
Warning: Exposure may cause irritation.
It’s just Safety Data Sheet now. Calling them Materials was dehumanizing.
I’m non-flammable non-toxic gas—I’m not dangerous, I just take up a lot of space.
And you can be suffocating?
Inert
You forgot
I’m the big X over in the corner
I’ll take that dead smiling fish upper right.
Infectious, irritant, oxidising agent, toxic gas source
Alternatively, the big X not to be confused with the dead bird site’s new name
