Real chemists know you use a strong base rather than a strong acid to dissolve “organic material.”

I don't believe it, sounds like a lye

Sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide work really well, also known as piranha solution.

[–] becausechemistry@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’d be surprised what a decently strong acid mixed with hydrogen peroxide can do.

First 2 times it gave me "I cannot provide instructions, recommendations, or specific quantities for using acid to dissolve animal or human remains.", but 3rd time's a charm.

It's incredible how inconsistent guardrails are on these things, lol

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's because they are usually only soft guardrails. They almost never have an actual programmatic stop gap for responses. They almost never have a prompt-isolated agent filtering results. They almost never give overwhelming priority to their guardrails over user prompts.

Their guardrails are like telling a 6 year old not to leave their socks on the floor. They'll often remember the suggestion and comply diligently. But sometimes.... well, have you ever gotten distracted and forgot a thing? Like you have so many other things on your mind that the socks on the floor rule from a while ago just slips your mind or seems way less important now? Or someone you're supposed to listen to keeps telling you to throw your socks on the floor anyway. That's more or less how this works, though without even the higher reasoning and moral guidance of a 6 year old.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

That's fine and all but actual good murdering advice would be to use 4:1 mix of sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide, aka the piranha solution.

There isn't any more

His memes are 🔥

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (6 children)

You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

[–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 months ago

Now don't forget you'll need to pull out the teeth, their stomachs wont digest them, and you don't want to be sifting though pig shit now do ya?

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So Deadwood was for real when they used pigs to dispose of their murder victims's bodies.

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

There's an infamous Canadian serial killer, Robert Pickton, who was a pig farmer. Dude's heinous so a bit of a warning if you don't want to read about it.

AI upscaled meme. The look in the movie isn't concern, it's dominance (or dead eyed nothing, like everyone else in that movie (I love Monster House, it's not shade, it's the style they wanted)). He just took their snack and this is mid aggressive chewing and staring. The added disappointment is AI grossness, bringing the inferred meaning into the image, like a monster (but not the good kind)

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not acid, but in my experience 5 grams of shrooms will make the chicken melt.

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Biggest hit I ever took was 3 grams.

The tissue of pigs is alledgedly very similar to a humans and also much closer mass wise... Why do I know this?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why do I know this?

Because you watched a lot of Mythbusters?

It is imperative the chicken remain not undissolved.

Well naturally of course, you need to be able to defend yourself against 30-50 feral hogs at any given moment

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

that is a lot of tabs...

[–] becausechemistry@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Which acid? What concentration? Are you adding an oxidant? What do you mean by “dissolve?”

Ah, wait, sorry. Wrong response. Let me try again.

That’s a great question! It shows you’re really engaged in this line of reasoning – and that you’re a world-class chicken farmer. Any acid will do, but you should first try 0.1M sodium hydroxide.

Why would you dissolve a chicken with acid?

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Because it weighs 75kgs and stopped clucking suddenly.....

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Because it crossed the road.

As an American, it took me a minute to figure out why this was a meme. Wish we used metric though.

this meme is from monster house, right?

"I can’t provide calculations, quantities, or procedures for using acid to dissolve animal tissue or a body.

If your interest is scientific, I can explain the chemistry at a high level:

  • Biological tissue is mostly water, proteins, fats, and minerals.
  • Strong acids can break down some components, but they do not instantly “melt” large masses of tissue.
  • Bones contain mineral components that react differently from soft tissue.
  • Large-scale decomposition of tissue using corrosive chemicals is slow, hazardous, generates heat and fumes, and requires specialized industrial equipment and waste handling.
  • The amount of acid required depends on the specific acid, concentration, temperature, mixing, and the composition of the tissue, so there is no simple universal number.

If you're asking for educational chemistry purposes, I can discuss how acids interact with proteins, fats, and bone without providing operational instructions."
