The pasta would cook itself

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago

Just don’t put the pasta next to the antipasta.

[–] ExploitedAmerican@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

This is an explosive opinion

It is kind of funny how, even though I understand how they cancel out, the unification of two very reactive elements makes harmless salt.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hydrogen and oxygen are quite reactive as well.

And both water and salt, while vital to human life, are harmful to others. Water is a powerful solvent, and salt can kill snails.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They're just nearly equally reactive in two opposite directions.

You can absolutely make salts with acidic or alkaline properties by altering this careful balance.

It's like two titans fighting until both are dead and peace roams over the valley. Or, more accurately, relentless robber meeting someone who desperately needs to give something away.

This sounds like the next thing we should get people riled up with along with the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 6 points 6 months ago

That's just your reaction to it!

I mean if we could get certain people who are deadset on making the world worse to believe this like the do for every other dumb fucking lie (EG: Vaccines and Autism, Fluoride in tap water, etc) this might be productive.

You just know getting that to happen was the absolute peak crowning achievement of some bureaucrat's career.

Naw the army was dumping all kinds of stuff after WWII. They had built up so much material that this would be a unknown rubber stamp action without that film.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sorta like the artifical coral reefs the US made out of WWII tanks

"I'm just gonna salt my pasta a bit and ... "

Do you want to keep your teeth? How much are you planning on living? I have so many questions.
