minus-squareRhynoplaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoMaybe I’m just an old curmudgeon, but I can’t feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to try this. I have kids, and I’m confident that if I asked my 10 year old about this, even she’d know that it’s a terrible idea.

minus-squareRhynoplaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI’d worry about things they don’t understand. If there was a “bleach and ammonia” challenge, I’d be concerned.
