    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.

      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.

      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.

    I made this after accidentally triggering somebody’s manic psychosis.

        I considered that spelling as well. I think the plural and singular both fit.

          Nope.

          Right now the list reads plural, plural, and singular. Parallelism states that all words in a list should have the same form. So they should all be plural, or all singular.

            While that is true, it also means various types of alterations in consciousness and paradigm shifts, but there is really only one type of existential crisis.

              Well I don’t really agree with that and I also don’t think it’s a solution to faulty parallelism.

                There are multiple types of crises, but every existential crisis is an existential crisis. The plurality is negated by the modifier, “existential.”

                  Not really. A midlife crisis and a psychotic episode could both be called existential crises. I don’t think there’s a hard definition to it like you seem to be asserting.

      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.

    I’m non-flammable non-toxic gas—I’m not dangerous, I just take up a lot of space.
