Little Johnny took a drink but now will drink no more
For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
Fun fact: unlike some other site that shall not be named, Lemmy's markdown can do subscripts!
Really? It's the squiggly to make subscript? I thought that was used for strike through?
Two squiggles for ~~strikethrough~~; one squiggle for ~subscript~; and no squiggle for you!
Strikethrough is ~~double-tilde~~ double-squiggly.
where's the reference for these?
ah , seems my client has some helpful shortcuts
cool ~stuff.~
Neat, I've never seen that version before. The one I know is:
Strong acids are weak, you'd notice the boiling acid flavor and spit it out with the rest of your mouth lining right away.
Doubt you'd die from drinking a bit of sulphuric acid, probably would spit it out as soon as you notice your tongue is burning anyway.
you could still get badly hurt if you swallow faster than you can spit it out
