Just remember to use plastic while mixing anything

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

It must be correctly rated plastic, preferably for industrial use. A lot of common caustic chemicals can eat through basic plastic easily.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You don't need anything fancy, regular PP is chemically resistant to most corrosive chemicals. The main issue is not resistance, but that if the walls of your container are thin, chemicals you put inside might leak out.

so basically don't mix bleach with stuff.

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

TIL bleach + rubbing alcohol make chloroform.

[-] Technus@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago

I think that's actually supposed to be acetone. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MvkuqLxQd2c

Rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) and bleach might make something nasty but not probably not chloroform as the reaction requires a ketone.

ikr it's like a Fun Fact! :D

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

It's all fun until you wake up with a stingy sphincter

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Chloroform doesn't work that way. You'd need to inhale it for over 5 minutes in order to pass out, and after passing out you'd wake back up in under a minute. Unless you kept breathing it in, but at that point it would just kill you with prolong inhalation.

Sir this is a shitposting

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Good thing I need less than a minute.

of course, commies don't have sex

Honestly if you want to get access to dangerous shit, you needn’t go farther than gasoline. Dissolve syrofoam until saturation to make napalm, or combine with ammonium nitrate, and insert a blank to make an ANFO bomb.

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gasoline and Styrofoam doesn't create the substance Napalm, as the chemical combination lacks naphthene or palmitate. Napalm is just the broader term that the US Army applies to Weaponized Jellied Gasoline, which was petrol + benzene (already in gasoline) + polystyrene.

To make true original napalm (which was used up until Vietnam) you would need aluminum soap powder of napthenic and palmitic acids, hence (NA-PALM), that is the stuff that was originally in flamethrowers and incendiary bombs.

[-] CITRUS@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Thanks ComradeSalad for letting us know the ingredients to napalm so we can watch out for accidental mixtures 🤗

Working in hospitality you'll bang your head against the wall convincing some clown their super special bleach based cocktail is a coshh and health nightmare

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah… so where’s the MSDS sheet for this?

Don’t have one? Then that’s a no.

[-] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago

The amount of people I’ve seen on tiktok accidentally making mustard gas is astounding

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

I know people that made these mistakes in real life without tiktok lol so it's definitely common.

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Also definitely don't spray bleach on any bronze statues of racist dudes you may have laying around, you definitely don't want to induce bronze disease which would eat away at it and cause it to be taken down in an attempt to save it.

[-] darkcalling@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Most household varieties of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar aren't concentrated/strong enough to make paracetic acid. You'd need vinegar of a much higher than 6% concentration typically sold and ideally higher concentration peroxide than the drug store kind (like the kind you could get for industrial applications without a special permit). Not that you should mix household cleaners without a clear understanding of the chemistry but I'm just doubtful this is a risk for most people who don't have access to commercial strength varieties of both.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This is a lovely how-to!

[-] Lurker123@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of when covid started and clorox wipes were sold out, so people were making their own homemade wipes mixing various cleaning supplies. What a disaster

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

People did that? I remember thinking it strange enough that people would only use soaps that say 'kills 99.9% germs' on the packaging, as if 'ordinary' soap is just to make your hands smell nice.

Bleach and toiletbowl cleaner is way more dangerous than I thought, glad I never did that, I probably would’ve done it as a kid if left to clean the toilet by myself

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

basically, never mix chemicals.

[-] D61@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Motor oil and chlorine bleach are also a nono... :osha-yes:

[-] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago
[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

A terlet that goes from 0 to 60 in under 1 minute.

[-] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago
[-] D61@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Never had the "pleasure" but I've been told by some people who work at a trash collection/transfer point that its another way to make chlorine gas.

[-] BolsheWitch@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

wow how helpful thank you for the public safety PSA

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bleach and... toilet bowl cleaner? Which is usually just gelled bleach?

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But the toilet bowl cleaner IS bleach.
