  • can you die sniffing the stuff in the jar ?

  • @SINOWred Only when it reached the moisture in someones nostrils. :D

  • Whoa :O

  • is the sulfur dioxide in solid or gaseous state?

  • ugh that probably smelled so bad.

  • @umaxen01

    Hydrogen is explosive not Oxygen ;)

  • Pure Oxygen? I thought Oxygen was explosive when heat is applied? Is this safe?

  • @MrAcid1000 I've heard this method described with the presence of a platinum catalyst... is there a reason you say it is not possible? Thus far I believed this was an antiquated method of producing sulfuric acid (though is now done with Vanadium Oxide )

  • This is either a super meth lab or how mario's mushrooms are made

  • I can fap to this. o_o amazing ;3
