I thought it might be interesting to document the violent reaction of these common household substances in a video with varying speeds. I really hope you enjoy this captivating experiment.

    I'm going to rush home after work and recreate this experiment on my own! I can't wait!

      I think the OP's taken the piss - you need some uric acid in the fluid reagent to act as a catalyst in order to get the most fun from this reaction.

    Try mixing dihydrogen monoxide with thiotimoline.

      I don't think there's any real danger in that. "it starts dissolving before it makes contact with water." That makes it safe, doesn't it?

        Asimov wrote more than one humorous story about thiotimoline, and it always ends in trouble for the user. I need to drag those old books out and read them again.

      I donno AC, all I'm working off is the pix and thats looking white and creamy and I don't think the male reproductive anatomy is wired up that way although that is all in the general area.

      This might relate somehow to the cougars in the adjacent story. All the April Fools stories today seem related somehow, as a meta joke. The cougar story is more scary than the slenderman story, and this is the cougars spilling some guys precious bodily fluids on the asphalt. I'm almost scared to see the next related story. Maybe I just need more sleep, things start getting weird after the first 24 hours awake.

    Nothing like documenting the violent reaction of people complaining about a picture in a summary and on the front page *gets out the pitchforks* :D

    Since this is a website for nerds I think it is important to use the IUPAC preferred nomenclature for water: oxidane.

      I thought you was just pulling my leg, but I looked it up...

      Thought I knew all the scientific names for such a common substance. Now I know one more.

      Thanks!
