From reading Ignition!, my understanding is that rocket propellants are either insanely toxic, or essentially useless.

those are reusable and fire blank rounds so I seriously doubt they'd have one out like that out for drinking purposes.

Solid rockets yes. Liquid is usually just cold and explosive, other than nasty hypergolics.

This post reminded me that C4 has a warning of "DO NOT EAT", because someone actually went and ate it. There are stories dating back to Vietnam, but this stellar specimen in 2002 didn't seem to have gotten the memo 30 years after the fact.

The point is that all rockets need really strong oxidizers. No strong oxidizer, not even oxygen, is good to be around. Things happily and willy-nilly stripping electrons from everything are really bad news when you rely on things being pretty chemically stable.

The reason oxygen is less toxic for most life on earth is that it has evolved ways to deal with is since it is essential for our internal energy cycle. The rise of oxygen producing bacteria led to the first known mass extinction event, the Great Oxygenation Event a.k.a. the Oxygen Catastrophe. They were not evolved to deal with it.

Global-scale biochemistry is so loving cool. Banded iron formations! The first land plants sucking so much Co2 out of the atmosphere that the entire loving planet glaciated! A period where woody trees had evolved but there wasn't a high enough oxygen concentraction to support fires and also nothing that could digest cellulose existed yet, so the entire world was covered in dead trees that just stayed where they fell unchanged for tens of millions of years, leaving an echo in the geological record that gets cabinetmaker's dicks hard to this very day!

Some PRO 2A FREEDOM AMERICA GUNS RULE clothes company made a fundraiser for him because ~innocent until proven guilty,~ guys... so long as they're a FREEDOM PATRIOT--otherwise they're subhuman scum who don't deserve a kangaroo court trial, let alone a fair one.

Not linking it because gently caress them, and gently caress that guy.
