A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Was in a flyer I got years ago.

Given the English/French in both the packaging and the ad, this is probably Canada?

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yep. Canadian Tire haha.

Peggy, that's the recipe for mustard gas!

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Almost. It will do the same thing though. More or less.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No way. Just...no way. Definitely not in a litigous society like the USA. The liability alone would be insane.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nope not USA. But incredibly stupid regardless. "The clean team"? Like what? Haha.

Funnily enough the hotel we're staying at has a vending machine with candy and snacks. And also sells Tide detergent in a pack that looks like a box of candy. I'll get a picture next time I walk by.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hah!

Although I could see having snacks to fill out the extra spaces in a laundry-products vending machine by the washers.

Actually, just the Tide in a vending machine of snacks.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah that's cray

Mixing produces a toxic gas

When bleach is mixed with ammonia, toxic gases called chloramines are produced. Exposure to chloramine gases can cause the following symptoms:

  • Coughing.
  • Nausea.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Watery eyes.
  • Chest pain.
  • Irritation to the throat, nose, and eyes.
  • Wheezing.
  • Pneumonia and fluid in the lungs.

How many days off work can I get with those symptoms?

I spent a lot more effort learning French than chemistry. Whew!
