“Oh, and you know what would be really cool? If the swimming pool had this cool mist coming off of it, like in a music video or some shit. Let’s pour liquid nitrogen into the water! Man, I wonder why nobody has tried this before!?!

Wait - they did what???

Christ on a motherfucking crutch, I hope they are being charged; reckless endangerment at the very least.  I'm not even close to being a chemistry guy and even I know better than to fuck around with liquid nitrogen...

Reminds me of incidents in the 1960's where women would clean their basement floors by first using Clorox (chlorine) Bleach and then ammonia, while the floor is still wet with the Clorox.  Or, sometimes, even mixing them together in the same bucket.

The eventual result is chlorine gas, 2NH2Cl.

If they used a ton of ammonia, liquid hydrazine is possible; which probably won't explode, but will spray hot toxic liquid everywhere.

nitrogen trichloride...

Almost as much fun as spraying brake cleaner on a hot weld.

I've had some recent fun with liquid nitrogen.  Impact play with frozen flowers, fire and ice floggers, branding... never thought about breath play.

Been thinking about getting me a container to use it more.

Nitrogen is inert (but cold as a witches asshole in liquid form). Fucking around with Chlorine is what gets ya.

Have you checked your messages, you old queef?

We used quite a bit of liquid nitrogen where I used to work, the hazard is asphyxiation. The liquid turns to gas rapidly and displaces oxygen. We had O2 sensors everywhere. Air is about 20% oxygen the rest is mostly nitrogen. So if you stick your face in a cloud of nitrogen you will start to suffocate quickly.

The chlorine/nitrogen mix didn't look right to me so I googled.

Yeah, it seemed like oxygen displacement was more likely than a reaction with chlorine.  Clearly, the safe way to do this would have been to use liquid oxygen instead.

Only if you throw in a gloveful of sodium too.
