I wonder what NaCN would be useful for? I have like a kg of it, wondering if I should put some in my bug-out bag (kidding).


Anyone played Fallout ?
I just imagined looting the grinning skeletons of a family around a campfire only to find a note explaining their suicide because of radiation poisoning.
In that world, I expect Karlos would be making good use of brahmin dung fumes :cool:

That makes me think that I'd go for lysergic acid diethylamide. It's the only reagent I consider you are 100% certain to get a reaction with :D
Can I get a drum too ?!

Weird.


That's fukt up. Says a lot about people was my first thought. 2nd thought was
how extensive and diverse was your research on the matter?

That's interesting.. I'm assuming they meant they wanted it for suicide, correct? I don't think cyanide poisoning is a very pleasant way to go (You can find videos of people taking it in court after a guilty verdict). Something like inert gas asphyxiation would be more ideal (though not as convenient).

Or maybe they just felt like doing some electroplating or gold extraction during the apocalypse?... lol

Yes, well... research is a very generous word ;)
It's rather the recollection of having similar conversations over the years about the use of KI (how, when). I do have a lot of misanthropes among my friends and many of them have extensive knowledge of caves, quarries, underground shelters etc.
In case of a nuclear power plant accident they will happily take the iodine, party underground for a couple of weeks and then take a peek topside.
But I also heard many simply say they dont like the world as it is and would like it even less if the nukes fell so they'd rather witness the blast in all its glory than see people turn on each other etc. And have NaCN as a backup if the blast and neutron flash arent enough...
Most recent conversation was with a neighbour who is a bit chemophobe. When I tell her what I do some weekends she goes "lalalala I'm not listening". She'd trust me more with a suicide pill than a refill of her hand sanitizer bottle. That I made, and she used ! She trusts me with her cat though...

Nope, dont always understand people...
I'm more in the process of upgrading my bug out bag. I'd like to see a nuclear winter with my own eyes so that means surviving till then.
