Tharmadoz. Feel Better About Feeling Better

I made this with ChatGPT, Grok Imagine and Adobe Creative Cloud. It's quick and dirty, but I laughed while making it.

Enjoy!


Good Lord, I hope there's no such product as Tharmadoz out there. I did a Google search and found nothing, but who knows these days?

  1. Somehow, I don't think 8% sulfuric acid solution is going to make anyone feel better. I once got a drop of sulfuric acid of about that concentration in my mouth[1], and it was the sourest thing I ever tasted. Would not repeat, do not recommend.

    [1] When the instructor says, "don't use your mouth to suck liquid into a pipette", it is best to listen to them.

      As a Chemist (by training), I strongly advise against tasting Sulfuric Acid - or pretty much anything with a pH that low (I estimate an 8% solution would be about -0.1).

      I once splattered a bit of Chlorosulfonic acid on my hand. Every molecule of that particular acid immediately reacts with a molecule of water to make a molecule of hydrochloric acid and another molecule of sulfuric acid. Not an event I would recommend or care to relive either.

  2. I've been on Tharmadoz for about a month now. I feel much better. The only side effect is I seem to be allergic to oxygen now.

  3. We were watching an NBA game last night and the usual spat of ads for weird medicines for bizarre diseases pop up, along with their usual litany of disclaimers (may kill you in a dozen different ways) and it made me wonder just who are these ads aimed at? And now it occurs to me that they are aimed at doctors. Doctors are busy, they aren't going to look at anything that comes in the mail, all that goes in the trash. But hit them when they aren't working and it might strike a spark.

  4. I was hoping someone would catch my little H2SO4 Easter egg. :-)

  5. The internet informs me that H2SO4 is also known as "oil of vitriol"; seems fitting, somehow.
