You see that smoke? Don’t breathe that, that’s demon smoke.

Cellulose is a glucose polymer, so it’s no surprise this looks a lot like what happens when you pour sulfuric acid on sugar.
Chemistry can make a mess of how you see the world. This is one of those cases. Wait a second, I’m basically wiping my ass with highly refined sugar. The American diet is getting me at both ends!
“Unrecognizable”? That’s Dave, isn’t it?
I wonder what the gas is that’s being emitted from the paper.
Too late for Karen!
Harmin’ Toilet Paper.
“This is your Democracy. This is Trump added to your Democracy. Any questions?”
Possible solution? Bidet for President!
Anything that clears the shit away rather than adding to it has my vote.
They also look like burned marshmallows!
Vote often! Also combine red mud waste and cellulose crystals (tumicin) like in 10.1021@acssuschemeng.8b01244 or 10.1016@j.matdes.2018.08.031 for a nice aerogel or pine panel that’s been expanded to closer to aerogel spec. That’s sorta using waste to make good? The pine one’s springy instead of brittle. Think it’ll work with osage orange and the ‘oranges’ (…and the solvent recovery cabinet or whatever its called, I imagine?)
Not that impressive there is still some usable paper there.
How about if people stop pouring hazardous materials onto stuff that pointlessly ends up in a landfill? A potentially unreacted portion of it might come in contact with a sanitation worker, who probably prefers going home with all 10 fingers every night.
You think THAT’S bad…
“Don’t breathe the Harmin!”
