    Make sure there’s no small pockets of flourine gas sealed inside of packing peanuts before using them.

    That would be very bad for everyone within 100’ of the vehicle.

      That’s not a thing at all. Fluorine would react with the peanuts before anything else. There’s no fluorine in the peanuts themselves either. So dissolving them would also not release fluorine.

      Please don’t spread incorrect information.

      Oh dear god, does… is that a thing that happens with polystyrene? Fluorine gas pockets?

      See, I am not a chemist, but I have enough basic chemistry knowledge to know you do not fuck around with fluorine.

      Like I legitimately wasn’t kidding when I said ‘dont actually do this.’

        No. It does not happen. I don’t know what they’re smoking. Not fluorine though, because they’d be dead already.
