Current Events > 'Hey Cyric. A professor wants you to dispose of a hazardous chemical.'

(+) Yeah! (+)

*is handed a tube of Coppertone Kids sunscreen*

...

Them: "It contains oxybenzene, which I looked up and is hazardous."

*reads label*

*looks it up*

Me: "So what's in this is called oxybenzone. Sounds similar but it's actually non-hazardous and is pretty much in every sunscreen."

Them: "Okay."

Next week...

Them: "So yeah the professor says that they still think it's hazardous and don't want to touch it. We'll have to get rid of it."

*nods*

*throws it in nearest trash can*

Done.

you tell the best stories

Professor Hulk Hogan hates sunscreen.

The moral of the story is that anything is hazardous if you believe hard enough.

Lol yep. Been there. People can be dumb

Then again I suppose anything's hazardous if it's coming at you at a high enough speed.

Wasn't really willing to demonstrate that, though.

air resistance plays a role.

some things, like individual feathers, physically can't fly at a speed that would make them hazardous.

some things are also too small or too soft (again, most feathers) to do serious harm purely from coming at you at a high speed

He liberally applied Coppertone sunscreen when going to the beach, and then had his swim trunks pulled down by a radioactive stray dog

His butt is now so powerful that he can smash through walls like Juggernaut when he runs backwards

This happened

I remember reading a review for a lotion product and the reviewer gave it the lowest score possible because it contained some chemical that is harmful in large quantities, and the tiny amount in the lotion is actually beneficial and was too stupid to read that far whilst googling.
