this is a quantum leap in the field of dildonics

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (4 children)

The biggest step forward since the invention of teledildonics

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Dare I say the biggest step forward since sliced dildos

Rather a small step for microdildonics, though

If I fill my ass with Helium, will my farts sound even funnier?

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 7 months ago

If you use hydrogen it sounds funny and makes a great show when lighting the fart.

You're looking at a billion view tiktok idea here! Also, huge missed opportunity by the Jackass crew.

Literally yes. Then do nitrous oxide. And then sulphur hexaflouride.

Owe, my ass

What do you owe your ass (other than an apology)?

You know magnesium can ignite with exposure to moisture yes?

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'll need to see a video of it igniting without an oxygen providing intermediary - haven't been able to find one.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So ok if you don't fart/queef?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What is the methane to oxygen ratio of a fart?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

Varies relative to the cheese To taco ratio within the past 48h.

make nickel yellow (some people are allergic) osmium will be probably covered by layer of toxic tetroxide, cadmium and tellurium are also decently toxic

e: i misremembered, but you still don't want to be around tellurium:

Humans exposed to as little as 0.01 mg/m3 or less in air exude a foul garlic-like odor known as "tellurium breath".[23][91] This is caused by the body converting tellurium from any oxidation state to dimethyl telluride, (CH3)2Te, a volatile compound with a pungent garlic-like smell. Volunteers given 15 mg of tellurium still had this characteristic smell on their breath eight months later. In laboratories, this odor makes it possible to discern which scientists are responsible for tellurium chemistry, and even which books they have handled in the past.[92]

selenium is a bit similar in this aspect

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

What the fuck

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 months ago (7 children)

why is cerium yellow but other lantanides green, technetium is cheaper than you think (fission product) but it's also radioactive

plutonium and americium, and maybe uranium also should be blue, CIA would anal probe you for less

I'd love to see the reasoning for each element. Most of them are obvious but I'm curious about some of them.

Are all the gasses dangerous because they'd have to be frozen to a solid? You could use them to pressurize a dildo-shaped envelope, though.

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

That's great! because a surprising amount of research was done (way more than anticipated). You will learn some crazy things by studying this. All elements are in solid form at STP so for the gasses that's in the range of -200 C. Someone suggested doing a version with liquid and gas enemas but you know? I'm just not that dedicated (yet)

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My first thought was "why is nitrogen dangerous?" but I was thinking about it at room temperature or around 20C.

I know about decompression sickness (the bends) but I wouldn't expect that to be a problem at 1 atmosphere. Then I stumbled upon isobaric counterdiffusion and I wondered if that could happen from pumping any pure gas into the rectum at atmospheric pressure, since it'd be at a higher partial pressure than any gas in the tissue.

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah I think gasses in the rectum have several severe issues that liquids don't have. Mostly because liquids don't exert pressure. Could get pretty in-depth.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Going in deep, you say

Here's some interesting ones that I don't think anyone's asked yet so far

The two CIA ones? Only elements with an unenriched isotope that can reach critical mass (and don't instantly disappear). You'd need only a few dildos to make a nuclear bomb. The anal probe and CIA disappearing is literal.

Borat is in this diagram

Starting with Potassium the Alkalis become basically explosive to water and get progressively more reactive. If you haven't covered it yet this is because their valence shells get weaker the heavier you go.

Hydrogen and Helium so far basically cannot exist in solid form at STP in any appreciable amount.

I cannot believe just how much time I spent looking at this .. for .. science.

Suggested update, Silicon is a picture of Obi-Wan saying “That’s why I’m here”

It's not called ARSEnic for nothing

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

This assumes the dildo must be solid. I think as scientists we need to think outside the box (and ass)

Please make sure they're flared!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Instructions unclear. Magnesium is now burning my ass.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 14 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Damn imagine putting mercury up there. I don't think your sphincter could hold it

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

If the dildo were chilled to -40°...

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But then your body heat would slowly melt it and lube yourself with heavy poison

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Honestly, there are worse ways to go.

Please always ensure whatever element you use has a stable base larger than the insertion point

[–] Turun@feddit.de 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Missing a few more "hello there"s, unless this is what floats your boat:

a 12in diameter, 2m long Crystal of silicon (not silicone), made for semiconductor manufacturing

(Human for scale)

This should definitely be its own website. High-res when? 😋

So... you're saying it's okay to put uranium in my ass but not oxygen ??

If it glows, it goes. (Up my ass)

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Uranium is fine, but oxygen is going too far, got it

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Natural (unenriched) uranium isn't especially radioactive and while there is plenty of exciting chemistry that could happen, none of it would be quite as immediately exciting as what would happen if you tried to freeze oxygen solid enough to make a dildo

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Uranium will give you heavy metal poisoning worse than lead, however

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'll add it to the potential update list. Lead used to be green and then somebody convinced me to make it yellow and yeah..

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 5 points 7 months ago

I'm learning more about the elements here in a meme comment thread than I think I did in school over a decade ago.

Those lanthanides... are we not terming a lethal radiation dose as rectal damage?? Or are you assuming an ideal isotope?
