As I was reading your post and comments about the pipes, ABS and gas, I was reminded of this Jimmycomet Instagram picture about the Moloch Napkin and the # comments.

The #idonitron bothered me. Why would he specify that he does nitron? Anyway, nitron's original Greek word is short for Nitrogen and this led me to the next disturbing fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

From the wiki page:

The name nitrogen was suggested by Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal in 1790, when it was found that nitrogen was present in nitric acid and nitrates; this name derives from the Greek roots νἰτρον "nitre" and -γεννᾶν "to form". Antoine Lavoisier suggested instead the name azote, from the Greek άζωτικός "no life", as it is an asphyxiant gas; his name is instead used in many languages, such as French, Russian, and Turkish, and appears in the English names of some nitrogen compounds such as hydrazine, azides and azo compounds.

The name comes from the Greek πνίγειν "to choke", directly referencing nitrogen's **asphyxiating properties. **

Gas chamber is not too far fetched after reading the comment about how he does nitron.

actually... it says "I don't iron"

odd coincidence though...

Yes, my bad. Some coincidence. Anyway, I guess he toasts, he grinds, he cuts with knives, but... he doesn't iron. Is that suppose to sound reassuring? Haha. The guy sure knows how to put himself and his preferences out there.

i followed the hashtag. A bunch of late 20's/30's folks and a few kids. Nothing really seemed off about the comments about the kids on the photos though.

What about this kid https://archive.is/4pRFp

what about that kid? Looks like an art gallery with some nonsense installation.

YingYangMom ago

Art Gallery with that low a ceiling? I think this rather is under an art gallery. The ground... The kid looks genuinely scared.

and the photo is so low rez that I can't honestly tell much of anything about her expression. Maybe she's just in motion.

This is the original pic, better resolution https://www.flickr.com/photos/146343979@N02/30802642376/in/photostream/ This is NOT a gallery. You'd have to crawl or be on your 4 to pass through that doorway (the one behind the young girl). Maybe not crawl, but you'd have to bend over quite a bit.

that would be kind of the point of reimagining the space. Also, on the ceiling you have a row of spotlights, artsy ones, that follow the wall along the corner.

I think it's an art installation. Is there any context or is that just a random photo?
