That looks more like the inside of a rotary kiln. The more fun way to clean them is using an industrial shotgun.

quote:

Around 65 people were sickened Saturday afternoon at a Houston-area water park in what local officials called a chemical incident.

"In the area around the kiddie pool in this water park, a lifeguard was sick, and soon after that, more and more people began becoming sick," Harris County Judge Lina Hildalgo said in a news conference outside Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown in Spring, Texas.
"What began as a fun family day has turned into very much a nightmare for many families," she said.
Public health officials are ordering the park to remain closed until they determine exactly what happened.
"The chemical combination was about 30-35% sulfuric acid and 10-13% bleach, and that's all we have at this time," said Spring Fire Department Chief Scott Seifert.
Hidalgo said all equipment readings during the incident and samples taken immediately afterward showed conditions within normal legal limits, but added that actually makes her more concerned. "Their current procedures very clearly cannot adequately ensure health and safety," she said.

E: I realize a joke here was in very bad taste and I’m sorry.

Bad news freedom loving Patriots. Big government and the corporate communists are saying you can’t bathe in sulfuric acid and bleach anymore. It’s 1984 all over again.

Did you cut out the part where people were complaining about not being able to bathe in sulfuric acid because of the 'gubment or are you just on drugs?

At the raptor fossil dig site, there's a ground-penetrating sonar that uses a shotgun shell to create the soundwaves.

A Netflix special taught me that the tech used for seismic imaging is founded on the same principles as autotune.

I mean, I don't know how true that is exactly but the guy who invented autotune is a seismic imaging engineer.

They're exaggerating a common activity of Texans to an absurd degree, which is a common form for a joke.

If it was something Texans were actually doing then it would be a fact, not a joke.

The book goes into much greater detail, if you have only seen the movie it doesn't really explain what they are doing aside from images showing up
