What the fuck are they doing up there in Cambridge, MA?>In 1997, Karen Wetterhahn, a professor of chemistry at Dartmouth College, died of mercury poisoning ten months after two drops of the substance permeated her latex gloves. >In an email to the chemistry department, professor and department head Matthew Shoulders wrote, “MIT does not allow the purchase or synthesis of dimethylmercury.”>Overnight, hazardous waste management firm Triumvirate Environmental wiped down surfaces and safely disposed of items that were potentially contaminated. The following day, on Aug. 27, the Institute shut down all of Building 18 to eliminate any possible remaining contaminants. Around 11 a.m., those within the chemistry department received an email that recommended surveillance testing to anyone who entered the lab the previous day, and MIT Health also offered testing to any individual who “spent more than a few minutes yesterday inside common rooms of the second and fifth floor of Building 18.”https://thetech.com/2026/08/30/building-18-closure-2026
>>541685095>just a prank, bro
>>541685095it's trivial to make.
>>541685095Looks like coy sauce let me give it a sniff.
>>541685095Was the student a jeet, chink, jew, or muslim?
How is he not dead? Isn't this the stuff that eats through everything and can kill you with less than a microgram?
>>541685665How?
clandestine monkeying around in labs is ancient, but i dont recall having access to legit poisons like dimethylmercury or cyanide. neat lab
>In 1997, Karen Wetterhahn, a professor of chemistry at Dartmouth College, died of mercury poisoning ten months after two drops of the substance permeated her latex gloves.>Now, it is your turn to die slowly and horrifically from an avoidable organic mercury exposure.
>>541686045It takes a long time to work
>>541686045You have to give it a few months, if any got on them they are fucked
>>541686045In months without treatment yes
>>541685095since when they are giving the age of a building in news stories?like it can legally smoke or something?
>>541685095I read an article about it. They are questioning whether or not the student actually synthesized the chemical since there’s no trace of contamination.
>>541686194Bio 101 in 2005 we had sodium azide which is close enough to cyanide >>541685665So are lots of things you fucking shouldn't make. This is beyond fluorine chemistry levels of fucking retarded.Also lowkey kinda cool. Organometallides: not even fuckin ONCE broseffs
>>541686206I vaguely remember the death at Dartmouth
>>541686206Suicide by dimethyl mercury bc you have to do statistical thermodynamics is fuckin based tho
>>541686268normal treatment is with chelating agents, but this is organic mercury a whole different critter
>>541686345you'd think the lab would have gotten rid of all the precursors after a prof fuckin died lmao. at least back in the day, people were aware of the risk but knew enough to stay alive to publish info
>>541685095>department head>Shoulders
>>541686418Shrug bro I'm just butthurt i didnt get to live through the peak madness of 1960s chemistry
>>541686023it's a White student
>>541686430>department head>shoulders>knees>& toes
>>541686418because the precursors are common reagents that have many orther uses in the lab
>>541686489Of course it is The niggers just quietly get a c minus to stay home
>>541686045It doesn't. That Karen probably poisoned herself on purpose to prove how bad it is, when nobody took her seriously. You can take some selenium for a while just to be safe, and nothing will happen. She was a fraud / crazy in her other research.
>>541686045The freaky part is that he'd be a dead man walking. With plenty of time to contemplate his fate as he slowly degrades.
>>541685095Isn't this basically terrorismWhy would you synthesize one of the most toxic substances in existencewtf
>>541686725Mercury poisoning destroys your body's ability to do fucking anything with selenium.Chelation therapy is a thing but for Karen it was apparently violently ineffective Its not like cyanide broski you cant just take the antidote
>>541686757This. Knowing you’re going to die is a torture no man should ever endure desu, iibh.
>>541687056>Dietary selenium (Se) status is inversely related to vulnerability to methylmercury (MeHg) toxicity. Mercury exposures that are uniformly neurotoxic and lethal among animals fed low dietary Se are far less serious among those with normal Se intakes and are without observable consequences in those fed Se-enriched diets. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20561558/
>>541687370>confusing methylmercury with dimethylmercurynigga you dumb as fuck
>>541686418Professors are niggers. They will shove their bad stuff in a hidden compartment behind the sink or put them in an adjoining lab the day before an inspection. When a new professor takes over a space they are burdened with all the shit the last one was too negligent to deal with. Have had professors kick a violation can down the road for 3+ professors over 5 years. Wasps LOVE cylinders of phosgene gas sitting in the sun btw.>t. Did lab inspections for EHS
>>541687319You aren't aware that you are going to die yet?
>>541687046Why was there researchers doing gain of function research on coranavuruses in Wuhan in 2019?
>>541687370I stand corrected Thank you for the paper
>>541687557Shut the fuck up tranny you lost
>>541687439>>541687370Wait he's right Methyl mercury poisoning from diet is NOT analogous to dimethyl mercury poisoning Interesting paper nonetheless
>>541687439dimethylmercury is metabolised into methyl mercury
Dimethylmercury was first synthesized by George Buckton in 1857, an English chemist and entomologist. He didn't contaminate himself, using mid 19th century conditions that's quite something, he died in 1905 at the ripe age of 87.
>>541687863I rescind my later statement
>>541685095BUILDING 18 I KNOW TO MUCH
>>541686122Mythelmercury and potassium cyanide.Not common objects just laying around so it's far from a thing that garage terrorists would just slap together. These aren't uncommon ingredients in chemistry departments at major labs though. Dimethylmercury is real cunt because it goes through common latex materials and standard PPE. A small drop or two hits your skin? You touch a surface that has its residue on it? You are absolutely dead. It targets fat, which your brain is pretty much nothing but a mass of saturated fat, causing it to cross the blood brain barrier effortlessly.Doesn't burn, doesn't smell, doesn't really cause any kind of pain or discomfort at all on contact, so you wouldn't even know you were exposed until your brain gets smashed and there isn't a god damn thing you can do about it. Think the only purpose it serves is as a reference point in MRI calibration or some shit. It has no practical use for an offensive use because it's one of those things that's just too dangerous to handle and the area exposed will be too hard to sanitize properly. Dirty bombs are safer and that says a lot.
>>541686206I get the reference if nobody else does, anon.
>>541688117Hell yeah
>>541685095>dimethylmercury>virtually no use case>mega toxic>make it anyway just for lulzare high IQs just niggers too?
>>541687527W-what do you mean, anon?
>>541688573Nah just way too confident
>>541688573we still dont know anything about tge studentin the thread last night the professor was revealed to be either troon or troonadjacent.>>5416864691960s?1920s was the wild west bro, explosives, radioactive isotopes/elements, and drugs were still on the table
damn nigga this NFPA diamond goes crazy
>>541688646doing pointless dangerous shit for no reason, sure sounds like nigger behaviour to me.
>>541687557ESL tranny postFind your nearest bridge and jump off
>>541688792yeah it's pretty much just pure death for humans
>>541689060naw glownigger youre the shill
>>541689243You are brown. It was already concluded covid came from a biolab, Im not entertaining you niggers' low iq lack of context
>>541688792I have found the blue eyes white dragon of organic compounds:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butyl_hydroperoxide
>>541688758I mean yeah. I dont know much offhand about the particulars of glory in 1920s stuff but id be down to fuck with either.Especially rocket propellant. Shits fascinating. And organophosphates for removing the jew of course.
>>541688798Yolo niggaYou wanna be a jam boy or a fucking king
>>541688792The oxidation rating was lowkey unexpected from my layman larp ignorant knowledge base
>>541689411Semi related Fluoro antimonic acid is also danger based as fuck
>>541686316Your attempt at a joke was rather bad and only exposed the fact that you were never a student at MIT.
>>541688184>It has no practical use for an offensive useThis is not correct. As a poison for a targeted murder it is a good choice. It passes through skin and tissues, one drop is enough, the target die several months later making the connection to you very hard to prove. Of course it should be handled with extreme care
>>541686418>you'd think the lab would have gotten rid of all the precursors after a prof fuckin died lmao.No, the correct thing to do is update the handling protocols. The prof didn't know about dimethyl murcury permeating latex. If she'd worn the correct PPE everything would be fine.
>>541690117How many correctly racist polska attend mit? Or is it all tranny mutts? Like id murder someone just to audit stuff there but come bro.com
>>541686418Those are research labs. You are not even allowed there if you don’t know what you are doing
>>541687319The last gift that Prometheus gave man was the forgetfulness of his own mortality. You are truly blessed anon.
>>541686194>i dont recall having access to legit poisons like ... cyanide.You kids nowadays are pussies. We used it in my 10th grade chemistry class. I forget what the experiment was, but the teacher had a bottle of it duct-taped to his front-of-the-class bench that he did demos on, and he watched us carefully whenever anyone went up there to put a few drops of it into our beakers full of whateverthefuckitwas. 1981 in case you're wondering.
>>541686418Dunning-Kruger much?
>>541688184>It has no practical use for an offensive use because it's one of those things that's just too dangerous to handle and the area exposed will be too hard to sanitize properly.I dunno, I think a few hundred gallons dispersed above the Kremlin would be a good idea.
>>541692784why waste it on the kremlin when you can mail it to random addresses in india?
>>541692815Union Carbide executive detected.(Yeah yeah I know, Union Carbide had nothing to do with the accident the Indians blamed them for, they'd been forced out of active control of the facility by the Indian management, and the Indians were the ones who fucked everything up. It was a joke.)
>>541692540Here a school called the firebrigade once because someone spilled a small quantity of 2-iodopropane. In the old days they would just have opened the windows. People didn't know what it was and panicked.
>>541692784>KremlinWhy are you so fucking brainwashed?
>>541686122corrosive sublimate + Grignard reagent
>>541693112>the Russian thinks everyone else on the planet is brainwashedLOL
>>541686122hydrochloric acid plus methanol makes chloromethane plus watermercury plus sodium makes sodium amalgamchloromethane plus sodium amalgam makes dimethylmercury plus sodium chloride
>>541693325
>>541688110I stay your recension and reinstate your later statement.
>>541693112Just to be really clear here, Ivan, Russia is a corrupt shithole full of brainwashed degenerate fetal-alcohol-syndrome retarded criminals led by a senile dictator. Every sane person on the planet hates you. Your only "allies" are equally-or-more corrupt dictatorships like North Korea and a few African nigger shitholes. Random Indians (dot not feather) worship you because they're stupid fecaloid cow shit eaters who think they have a chance with your "white" women now that so many of your "men" are dying in droves in trenches. You have more AIDS cases than Nigeria, nearly everyone outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg lives in filth, and you can't even defeat the weakest country in Europe."Great Mother Russia" is a joke and not even a funny one, just a pathetically sad one. Soon you will have a giant civil war, with entire regions of your agglomerated "country" breaking off from the central shithole, many of them in the far east getting snarfed up by China, some of them declaring well-deserved retributive war against the corrupt "Great Russians" who oppressed and abused them for generations.I hope you die horribly, but I hope it's far enough in the future that you see all of the above come to pass.Eat shit.>>541693444See picrelated.
>>541687557Because it was banned here and obama and fauci wanted to continue making bioweapons so they moved the operation to china.
>>541687634>>541689060oy vey
>>541693853Holy shit you even got some shill pics prepared and copypaste wall of text with reddit spacing. Why are you so evil?
>>541692784No. It's impractical because, while it WILL kill you, it won't do so with any kind of immediacy. You get a bunch of people who know they are dead soon no matter what? Great way to get suicide missions, launch nukes because "fuck it", and other major problems.
>>541695849>Why are you so evil?>the vatnik cries out in pain as he strikes you>>541697960But it would be funny.
>>541698175That's not funny nor is it for the lulz.If niggers suddenly exploded violently taking out everyone around then with dindu shrapnel laced with AIDS? THAT'S lulz territory.
>>541686206People need to accept that science is satanic, and jews worship it for that very reason.
>>541687370Eating a whole bag of nigger toes tomorrow (Brazil nuts.)FYI everyone start taking 20-40,000 IU of retinyl palminat until the bottle runs out. Everyone in this thread is deficient. Take k2 too. Dose and form dont matter.
>>541692540>my 10th grade chemistry teacher had a bottle of cyanide on his desk in 1981You clearly didn't pass the retard test 47 years later. Do you still tell people you heard about a girl in highschool that got a frozen hotdog stuck in her pussy?>I swear guise!
>>541687634>>541692784>>5416890608th decade soon, your blood will spill
>>541699080>Do you still tell people you heard about a girl in highschool that got a frozen hotdog stuck in her pussy?No, I've never heard of that happening to anyone.Do you still tell people you were a Navy SEAL?
Puccia's allies, poos and nogs.
>>541685095>organic mercuryHe is going to die slowly and painfully.
>>541692784You deserve death

>>541693112You have no idea. Jews and Neocons control public thought in the US.
>>541699464(S)He didn't even synthesize any. Competency crisis or pre-quals washout
>>541693853>Every sane person on the planet hates youIronic for a U.S. Jew to say this.
