    “Toilet “ was sometimes used to simply mean hygiene. A dilute mixture of scent to wear (too light to be called “perfume”) is “toilet water “ or “eau de toilette “

      anything old tymey that mentions toilet anything means grooming.

    That silvering glass reaction was actually the final project for our highschool chemistry class, though the teacher handled creating the tolen's reagent. The hardest part was making sure the glass was clean and scraped enough, otherwise the silver wouldn't stick at all. Everyone got to make their own coated test tube, and the top student of the year got an entire silvered erlenmeyer as a trophy.

    Toilet milk was a term used in the past to refer to a type of cosmetic product that was applied to the face and hands after using the toilet. It was a common practice in the Victorian era and in the early 20th century, when people believed that washing with soap and water was not enough to remove all the germs and bacteria from their skin, it was a type of lotion or cream that was designed to cleanse and disinfect the skin, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed.

    My father has an old chemistry set from the 1920s in the basement. When I was 8 I found it, and showed him these "cool rocks!" I found. Turns out it contained several radioactive materials I was playing with for a good fifteen minutes, alongside asbestos and mercury.

      _Pure_ Mercury is a lot more dangerous _than people used to think,_ but still unlikely to harm you without prolonged exposure. The really nasty stuff is _methylmercury,_ which can bond with organic molecules, making it far more dangerous. Ethylmercury, used as a preservative in flu shots, is similarly dangerous. Methylmercury is infamously found in many kinds of fish (among those commonly consumed, especially grouper and tuna). However, you are unlikely to actually get mercury poisoning from these sources unless you're getting multiple flu shots per year or eating high-mercury fish every day. _Pure_ mercury is not ordinarily organically reactive, so it only becomes a problem when you inhale a lot of the vapor, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and causes brain damage.
      Asbestos is only dangerous if you breathe in the fibres. Otherwise it's the same mineral that makes up serpentinite, tiger's eye and nephrite jade, and of course handling all of those is completely safe (unless a jade boulder rolls over and crushes you or something, or you happen to be a _carver_ who might actually encounter a great deal of fine particulate of these minerals). Most radioactive materials are similarly only dangerous with either prolonged exposure OR inhaling the dust, though obviously that is not a blanket statement- Some can deliver lethal doses of radiation quickly through mere exposure (obviously nothing you'd find in a chemistry set, even from the 20s, though), and even those that don't can deliver enough radiation to cause cancer either immediately or later in life. More interesting to me is that many have a relatively short atomic half-life, so I wonder if any of those samples had a significant amount of elements that were not there when they were packaged.
      Bigger concerns would be things like sulphuric acid or tear gas that are highly toxic and/or caustic just by touching or inhaling them, and are much harder to manage than solid samples.

It makes total sense that lots of chem nerds would be into EDM etc. Would probably be a generally popular design even without being associated with him specifically as merch (though that's by far the context I'd most like to see it sold in ofc lol)

      Nice black humor.
      Unfortunately the humor is overshadowed by your ignorance. The Dachau concentration camp already existed in 1933. It was opened on March 22, 1933, and the first murders were committed on April 11, of the prisoners Rudolf Benario, Ernst Goldmann, and Arthur Kahn.
      Chemical or gas, as in your joke ... was only used from January 20, 1942 onwards. As part of Action 14f13 (also known internally by the SS as "Special Treatment" 14f13), the first test runs were made and a total of around 3000 prisoners from 32 transports, who were labeled as mentally ill or unable to work, as well as unpleasant concentration camp prisoners, were murdered.
      On February 22, the "negative pressure test series" began in the concentration camp, in which the aviation physicians Georg Weltz, Siegfried Ruff, Hans-Wolfgang Romberg and SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Sigmund Rascher were involved. But I won't explain that here because it was completely "chemical-free"...
      Forgive me. But what is a joke, when you have no clue about the historical context ... or in other words: You don't know what you are talking about and the joke is overshadowed by inconsistencies(which is embarrassing, or?)? Next time, this won't happen, because now ... you know!

      They just don't market it as toilet milk in the US, where the french practice of calling a woman's ritual of preparing for her day each morning a "toilet" (twa-let) has fallen rather severely out of vogue. It's face cream/face lotion. Morning perfume is still sold as eau de toilette (toilet water or more literally water of the toilet), though.
      Note I say "in the US," by the way (really what I mean is in English in the US; there was a trend around the time of taking "foreign" and european terms and americanising them). You can still purchase it as lait de toilette (milk of the toilet in French).

    The use of the word "toilet" for a place where you poop is actually pretty new. It comes from the French word "toilette" which originally meant "little cloth" or something like that. Even in modern French "faire la toilette" refers to your daily grooming routine, and "eau de toilette" is a fragrance that is in between cologne and perfume in terms of its strength.
    The use of it in English to mean "bathroom" is about 300 years old, and the actual plumbing fixture probably later than that.
