Like duct tape - my god, what is the world coming to
ITT: people complaining about (virtually non-existent) people who didn't get it
I would never have made the connection if someone hadn't explained.
I'm not that used to illiteracy.
I like to create imaginary people that I can complain about though
I build my houses out of straw too
These are the same kind of people who freak out when you tell them everyone who has consumed dihydrogen monoxide will die.
I have a laser engraving machine at work that houses a class 3 fiber laser. The amount of people that lose their shit when you open the door to add/remove parts or straight up walk 50ft around the thing is insane. All because of a little sticker that says "Caution- Laser Radiation". They seem to think it's a reactor core or something. No matter how many times I've explained the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and showed them the data sheet and safety interlocks, I get the same one line argument "It says radiation. It's gonna give everyone here cancer."
It’s gonna give everyone here cancer.”
Then they head off to the lake/beach for the weekend to work on their tan.
One of the ladies goes to a tanning salon. These people work with Tetrahydrofuran and Ethylene Chloride, but decided to make this the hill to die on.
Does your work have baseboard heaters or radiators? Maybe it’s time to start putting those little stickers on everything that radiates energy
I've thought about it, but decided it's probably not worth getting sent to HR over. Chances are they'd be just as clueless and wouldn't find the joke very funny. Would be hilarious to watch the chaos unfold though.
Next thing you know, RFK Jr will ban it....
Chlorophyll? More like Borophyll...
NO I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU!
And chloroform is freely available at your nearest chemist.
Is it comically accurate to 1950's cartoons in how it incapacitates a person?
Not even remotely.
From my understanding it takes 5-10 mins of consistent inhalation. And the effects last only seconds.
And it is quite carcinogenic, so if you use it on some one, not only is it going to be quite ineffective, it's also probs going to give them cancer
Oof that's the long term plan 😈
It's super effective, just on a very long timescale.
Wait till they sell rohypnotoad
Civilization began collapsing after dictionaries were banned worldwide
Chlorophyll doesn't immediately put you to sleep! Also it burns to inhale, from what I have read.
There are lots of compounds, that are used in chemical industry or medicine and have funny properties.
Took me a minute. Chloroform, for any other dumbys
Thanks. It would never have occurred to me.
Why do the comments feel a bit whooshy on this one?
That said, I bet you could find a kidnapper starter kit somewhere on the Internet. Fun fact, chloroform doesn't work the way you think it does--- it isn't instant and it doesn't last long enough to be of any use like this. Movies have lied to you. Keep this in mind if you have weekend plans with any CEOs near you!
Sure didn't stop the media
Also the vulcan nerve pinch doesn't work. It was invented by Nimoy because he didn't want to punch a guy.
Shit, next you're gonna tell me Vulcans aren't real.
Force waves hand “they don’t exist”
You can also buy mustard. Like, hello! All someone has to do is boil that, and they have mustard gas!
Heinz DOES sound German....
You can also buy wolf piss but everyone loses their mind when a girl with pink hair sells her farts :(
The ratio of comments that get the joke vs comments that don't is troubling
Explain the joke.
The amazon reviewer is confusing chloroform (an inhalation anaesthetic that, in movies, is used to knock out people for kidnapping) and chlorophyll (a harmless substance used by plants for photosynthesis)
