Hydrogen cyanide will turn into “cookie dough” in 1-5 years. Which is way shorter than “forever”.

The way you said it in your first comment made it seem longer lasting than radioactive waste. Which it isn’t according to the linked PDF. That is the only point I was trying to make.

Most cyanide in surface water will form hydrogen cyanide and evaporate.

As long as it has a surface to evaporate, it will degenerate.

I didn’t know that before but it appears cyanide does have a half-life that is a fraction of nuclear waste.

That doesn’t make it or the other compounds less dangerous, of course.

For me it was Bad Religion lyrics. 13 year old me would sit down in front of the CD player, booklet in one hand, dictionary in the other. Greg Graffin uses an obscene amount of vocabulary that I haven’t encountered anywhere else.

One example:

The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconced within the murky deep

Then the French play the Uno reverse card and invent “Le sandwich américain”

This post shows we all old af and learned driving pre airbags.

“Experts at the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) now recommend 9 and 3 — on opposite sides of the wheel halfway up — as the ideal steering wheel hand placement.”
