This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sir why do you have 5.35kg of liquid mercury?
6kg was too expensive.
That's not just mercury, it's virgin mercury! The good stuff!
virgin mercury vs chad water
Hydrohomies approve
I've always wanted some, and an opportunity to purchase it arose. Set me back almost $500 but it's a pretty good deal considering how hard it is to get ahold of.
What will you do with it? Or is it just a trophy to brag about to your geek friends on the internet?
I'm planning to make small ampules of mercury and sell them to recoup some of the cost. But yes, the cool factor was a big part of it. :P
Please be aware of it's toxicity and don't do something stupid.
Of course, I will be very careful when handling it.
Lmao we had the same thought, I was gonna say Drink Responsibly
Just pair it eith a generous salad and you're good
