I specifically wanna be pentaborane, because it has the rare honor of a perfect score on the fire safety diamond. Highly flammable, highly toxic, highly reactive, explodes on contact with air, explodes on contact with water, and lethal amounts can absorb through your skin (if it even gets that far). It was actually considered as a possible jet or rocket fuel in the 1950s and earned the nickname “Green Dragon” because it burns green. But the US government ended up rejecting it because even its exhaust is poisonous. It is in fact so dangerous that the government’s supply of it sat in storage until 2000 because that’s how long it took to invent a safe disposal method - a procedure whose actual scientific name is Dragon Slayer.
subscribe to toxic chemical facts
Me too. I want to subscribe
This is the most metal thing I’ve heard of in the field of chemistry, which is kinda profound given that chemistry defines what a metal is.
I’m probably an oxidizing agent.
f(O2) = CO2
Uh oh. Infinite carbon.
Dangerous when wet…
It’s toxic gas for me, I need to work on my diet.
Dangerous when wet 👀
Look, I’m not afraid of water. I can swim fine. I was a lifeguard ffs. But the water here is always cold, and I’m almost always wearing leather boots amd work pants. I’m not afraid of water, I’m afraid of getting wet. I’ll get very angry if I get wet, because how then am I supposed to get dry? Dangerous when wet describes me well.
Toxic gas. Might also be explosive.
Was definitely saying toxic gas. Or at least that’s what my wife says
I came here to make the same “what my wife says” joke about me being toxic gas.
Harmful To Aquatic Life.
(I don’t eat them but do order a lot of stuff online and am often covered in paint.)
It’s just Safety Data Sheet now. Calling them Materials was dehumanizing.
Warning: Exposure may cause irritation.
I’m non-flammable non-toxic gas—I’m not dangerous, I just take up a lot of space.
And you can be suffocating?
I’ll take that dead smiling fish upper right.
Infectious, irritant, oxidising agent, toxic gas source
Alternatively, the big X not to be confused with the dead bird site’s new name
I’m the big X over in the corner

You forgot
Not illustrated here, but I like the one with the guy coughing his lungs out.
