I was cleaning out a chemical storage closet at work. A hydrogen chloride container leaked out onto some iodine containers. I picked one up (bare handed) and sat it down in the grass. About thirty seconds later, I noticed the steam boiling up from around the bottom of the container. This is about 45 seconds worth of contact.

    Lol well, fair enough!

    I still aggressively assert that it still benefits humanity to protect each other, even people who don’t know they need it.

    But that’s a pretty reasonable response, I have to admit lol

      Ah, but I agree with you! It’s commendable that we care for our weak who would otherwise die.

      The other wolf, though, thinks there’s a good chance the stupid are going to drive us to extinction.

      Thanks for not taking offense when you legitimately could have. Reason 1 why Lemmy > Reddit.
