Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah all it takes is for a factory to mislabel a content in counterfeit scented bath lotion as ethanol when it's actually methanol and you've suddenly got scores of people dropping dead in Russia So tl;dr: in Russia, due to various economic factors including the sanctions, food prices doubled in about two years. Price of booze went up even more due to taxes intended to curb consumption. This led to people drinking various products that just happened to contain ethanol, and some that "just happened" to contain ethanol. It's estimated as much as 20% of the alcohol consumed in the country may come from these not-for-human-consumption sources. People were drinking "bath lotion" that actually contained methanol, and 78 people died in one town. This is so many different levels of hosed.

Elizabethan Error posted:the pods already have bitterant in the plastic film They do now, that was added after they'd been out a couple years. At first the outside didn't taste like much of anything, so a kid/old could suck on the pod making it slippery and swallowing it before they got through to the soapy goodness underneath.

I'd think the urge to eat a tide pod would be to experience the ripe-grape popping sensation in your mouth rather than to taste whatever is inside.

bitterants are added to antifreeze in the us now, and have been for a few years, so you can no longer use it to poison people (and animals i guess)Trig Discipline posted:I didn't actually recognize her, I found it via GIS because she looked familiar and it was driving me crazy. i thought the same thing

Phanatic posted:It is, but antifreeze poisoning isn't because of methanol. Ethylene glycol gets metabolized by your alcohol dehydrogenase to glycoaldehyde, which gets metabolized by your aldehyde dehydrogenase to glycolic acid, which starts killing your kidneys and causing acidosis, and the glycolic acid eventually starts oxidizing and turning into oxalic acid, which binds up with calcium and starts precipitating out as calcium oxalate, and having these little crystals start forming in your brain and lungs and things is pretty bad for you. OK now explain what happens and how we treat detergent pod ingestion. edit: and what if it's not a laundry pod but a dishwasher pod.

Not a funny picture, but my friends dog was just taken off by an owl a couple days ago. I felt a little bad because I let a quick laugh slip before I realized he wasn't kidding.

I suspect the dog died because of their negligence, and the owl story is a cover-up.

I had three pet ducks a few years ago and woke up at 2 am to the female SCREAMING. Ran downstairs and turned on the outside light to see a big rear end owl sitting on top of one of the males. He flew away and left the duck for me to put down. I increased the security for the remaining 2 the next day and there were no more attacks. I had no idea owls would attack ducks.

I was hoping for a resolution along the lines of 'and then the owl flew for 10m before dropping the dog, we all had a good laugh' R.I.P. small dog
