For those interested in learning about uranium peroxide: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Uranium-peroxide
Suprisingly mild and not very reactive. And I wondered if this even exists.
Uranium - it makes things safer!
it is a confirmed human carcinogen.
See, that’s the good stuff
ty for the link, i learned that all h2o4u molecules look like a tiny happy frog jumping at your face
Thanks. I was wondering if it was a liquid or not. Crystaline solid.
Ok, but definitely don’t drink it if it’s liquid then.
Reminds me on this chemist joke:
A man brought his chemist friend to the bar for a drink with the other friends. When asked what he wanted, the chemist decided that since she’s the designated driver, she’ll order water. “I’ll have some H20, please!” the chemist said, with the man replying “I’ll have some H20 too!”
The man died of ingesting hydrogen peroxide.
And the joke’s alternative anti joke punchline:
The bartender served them both water, because he fully understands everyday human interaction and translated the request as intended.
Well, for as much as you use the chemical formula for water in your everyday human interactions, anyway
The bartender didn’t mind, since he has a sense of humor and understood he worked in an entertainment facility where people derive fun from saying and doing goofy things with friends and acquaintances, and this isn’t even be the weirdest thing he has heard a patron say this week.
Little Billy was a chemist
Little Billy is no more
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4
Don’t want to drink pure H₂O either…
I mean, unless I’m missing something it should be fine as long as you get salts another way.
Correct. I have no idea why people are freaking out over drinking water. We constantly eat and drink things that have wildly different osmolarity than our cells and yet here we still are. Our stomach and intestinal mucosa cells are not going to burst if we accidentally drink a milkshake (a hyperosmotic solution).
No? What would it be like?
Probably tasting remarkably bland and would likely mess with your electrolyte and mineral levels.
Isn’t it just distilled water?
I learned a rhyme once that’s relevant:
Danny was a scientist, but now he is no more, for what he thought was H2O, was H2SO4
This must be what Nuka-Cola is made of.
