Such a good idea it gives me an idea for an award with a prize attached
I’ll call it the Me Prize
Wait, if you’re me then who am I?
You’re you.
I’m you?
Us
We’re all you.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
I don’t think so. No. I’m pretty sure that you’re you.
But no mathematics.
It has absolutely nothing to do with my wifes extramarital affairs. Nothing at all.
Someone give me some context
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak
I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to
Looked it up:
Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as “dynamite”.
Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae.
Ooh. Diatomaceous earth is also the best safest healthiest most humane method of fending off bed bugs.
I’m all for being humane but I would stab a bed bug with a pin and yell “die, fucker”. Same goes for mosquitos, ticks and fleas.
Isn’t diotemacious earth cancer causing if you breath it in?
Most shit will cause lung cancer if you make it into a powder and inhale enough of it.
Water. (Snow or frost)
Pretty sure that if you got snow in your lungs you would get pneumonia, or perhaps frostbite in your lungs. if you get frost bite in your lungs repeatedly, just as any other repeated injury it can increase your risk of cancer in those cells that are repeatedly damaged.
In this case it’s pretty much the same risk as inhaling asbestos dust. Fun fact, in the past, beer was filtered through asbestos, which was perfectly safe because asbestos is only dangerous when inhaled. Nowadays it’s filtered through Kieselgur because its properties are pretty much identical to those of asbestos.
Fortunately, diacontagious (or however you spell it) earth is not very “humane”. It cuts their wax layer as they crawl through it, leaving just enough of a gap that they can’t contain moisture, and they dehydrate / mummify to death.
This fun fact brought me much comfort while I lied in bed, slapping every itch and wincing at every breeze.
DE is abrasive, and that does help, but the main reason it works is because it is a desiccant, so like a silica packet it dehydrates the insect.
Not when you mix it with nitroglycerin.
For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)
Ah, a fun little joke I can do with the nitroglycerin I definitely don’t have because that would probably be illegal
Just develop a heart condition and they’ll straight up give it to you. Easy peasy.
As a bonus, if we already have a heart condition and an abundant supply of prescription nitroglycerin tabs, we can perform the aforementioned prank to give all our friends heart attacks too! 😄
Ha, jokes on YOU, I already have a heart condition!
Wait…
Alternatively, work in a hospital or on an ambulance. We’ve got loads of the shit
I was gonna say, actually thinking about pocketing the excess next time I pull some from the Omnicell to see if this works lol
A tab of NTG is only 0.5mg, a drop of pure NTG (so around the size of the tab) would be in the ballpark of 125 mg, so the tablet contains very little NTG. Id wager a tiny pop if any.
I really want to put a couple bottles of tablets in a blender and see what happens haha
Maybe it’ll be like the 4th of July in your kitchen. It’s worth a try. Make sure to video it and let us know how it turns out.
Easy enough to make.
For a really fun prank, coerce your friends into driving truckfuls of nitroglycerin hundreds of miles down a dodgy road through the jungle.
This triggered a lost memory of watching bootleg MacGyver with some friends while getting blackout drunk celebrating Estonian reindependence after the soviet occupation collapsed. It was in German (None of us spoke German) and he was also doing something with some nitroglycerin on a truck.
Sounds like a great memory! Reminds me of watching Cheaper by the Dozen while the mortars walked toward us. Highly recommend watching Sorcerer, if you’re in the mood for some nitro-fueled tension.
He was known as the “Merchant of Death” because even after he accidentally revolutionized warfare he kept profiting off of it for the rest of his life.
I guess you could say it was a smashing success
