acceptance of jokes
was just scrolling through detritus.. ofcourse i laughed.. alot..
anyways was just thinking what do you guys think of giving wrong information to a cook or a ''rag-head'' -Admin of roguesci
i would see the moral issues start flooding it all if you made a cook produce a kg of NI3 not only would that surely kill him but also very likely
more than him, severe destruction etc.
SM isnt a place for wrong info, but when you go on here you should have at least intelligence to see if somebody is joking when you come with
something absolutely stupid like.. something by the lines 'how can meth makes'
myself have no problem with it, as much as 1g NI3 i wouldnt say anything to.. kinda karma if you wanna call it that..
but what do you guys think about such 'jokes' on these people who usually take a nice shiny dump over chemistry? (=

A very bad idea. No way!
It will make sciencemadness look like totse. Simply moving cookery threads to detritus is the thing to do.

Jokes work good in context to those in the know but because this forum is indexed in search engines everywhere you can rely on others reading the
previous posts to know you might be joking. And chemistry is very much a science with it's own lingo. If someone finds your post on accident they
might try to innocently follow it or scale it up even though an educated reader would know it wouldn't work or could potentially be dangerous.
I usually stop myself before I make a potentially dangerous joke thinking, "You know, someone out there might actually do this and hurt themselves."

Well you could leave a joke synthesis that wouldn't lead to an injury or worse. Give a set of instructions with a made up chemical like aironium,
bananite, etc..

It's like when people reply to k3wls and cooks, telling them to add, e.g. "iron disulfide to sulfuric acid, 'cos we wanna know what happens".
Someone could kill themselves with H2S like this, as NurdRage points out clearly in his lithium battery video that iron disulfide is
present inside the cell, and people could get the impression that these chemicals can be handled without care because of this seemingly relaxed
attitude.

I understand why you'd want to prank cooks and kewls using your knowledge of chemistry. However effective that might be at discouraging cookery, it
simply amounts to us daring them to "do it and see what happens." Chemistry is much too unforgiving to allow ourselves or others to have attitudes
like that.
