That’s just your reaction to it!

Mmm, yes. I too love eating metals that explode when they touch water. Extra spicy. It does more than double the sodium content of your salt though, so watch out for that if you have high blood pressure.

ryannathans@aussie.zone on 17 Jul 08:59 collapse

Instead we should be replacing the sodium with chlorine!

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 on 17 Jul 11:41 next collapse

Hydrogen and oxygen are quite reactive as well.

TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works on 17 Jul 11:43 collapse

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 on 17 Jul 13:04 collapse

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.

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.

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.

Objection@lemmy.ml on 17 Jul 21:21 next collapse

Personally, I sub out the chlorine for hydrogen and oxygen, which I know are safe because that’s what’s in water. It also helps keep my soup nice and warm whenever I sprinkle it in.

Eating sodium chloride is kind of insane. It would be like if you took my stuff and poured a bunch of hydrochloric acid on it and then sprinkled that all over your food. Yeah, no thanks.
