Imagine playing with mercury FOR FUN.

Here are some of the super disturbing responses:"Arsenic. It's wild to us now, but in the 1800s, someone figured out how to make a green dye out of arsenic.""There had been no truly good green dyes before then, and suddenly green was all the rage.

People painted with it, used green wallpaper in their houses, and women wore green dresses, all dyed with arsenic. People started getting sick, and it took a while for them to figure out that they were only sick when inside their arsenic-papered house.""My mother talks about how when she was in high school in the 1970s, they would roll mercury around in their hands during science class with no gloves on.

People Are Talking About “Things Annoying Coworkers Do” And It’s Honestly 100% AccurateYes, Bob. I saw your damn email. “The actions of the pro-democracy activists are divorced from the basic reality of the world” is the theoretical error of the democratic movement. I have 3 coworkers that do this crap. I get about 400 work emails a day. They will email me and then literally in a few seconds will IM me and day “Lisa I just sent you an email” and if I ignore the IM (I’m so damn busy and am very good at managing email and tasks), they call. 😡 U late 🤔
