I just heard a radio ad for a company that offers this for pets. I had no idea it was a thing.

I wonder if this would be worse or better for those people in that one Doctor Who episode.
I hate how every religious entity feels the need to weigh in on whether that’s allowed or not.
Our vet now uses a company who does this. One of our babies had it done last month. All of our others were cremated traditionally and sprinkled on the ground at the cemetery/kennel. I’m kind of sad that she’s not with them.
Sorry for your loss :(
Thanks. I’m feeling super guilty about it. I pushed the family to do it -probably a week or two early- because i had knee surgery scheduled and i wouldn’t be able to help her get outside and clean up after her.
I guess that’s a kind way of saying “turned into stew”.
The result is a quantity of green-brown tinted liquid (containing amino acids, peptides, sugars and salts) and soft, porous white bone remains (calcium phosphate) easily crushed in the hand

Go watch Breaking Bad again. Starts with the DIY version of this.
Strong acids or bases do the same thing. Heat and mixing helps.
When doing photolithography type printed circuit boards at home, you are dancing on both sides. The photo sensitive film is applied, masked and exposed. One part of the film, exposed or unexposed depending on the type, is then dissolved in a lye solution. The rest of the film is exposed to more UV. Then the exposed copper is etched in acid. Finally the remaining photomask is removed with a strong lye solution. Both the final lye and acid are usually accelerated by raising the temperature. Both suck to get on your skin. Leave your skin in either solution and it will dissolve too. The more concentrated and hotter the solution, the faster it will dissolve.
This is one of my pet peeves. Strong acid doesn’t dissolve flesh, not really. It will denature it, and make it flakey and fragil, but it doesn’t really break it down into liquid like movies always portray. At best it will make something like a broken sauce over extended exposure. Bases though, will liquify you. Strong acid will sting and turn your skin white and itchy, looking almost like a burn from a very hot surface. If you’ve ever touched an electric stove and had a tight white patch; something like that. But a strong base will eat and eat, making your skin slick as it is digested. If you get acid in your eyes, you’re going to have a bad time, but you might get to keep your vision afterwards because the burn is very surface level. However, if you get a strong base in your eyes, it will continue to burrow down until it is neutralized and ruin your lens like a sucked on hard candy, and you are very likely fucked long term.
Long story short, lemon (acid) makes civiche, dish soap (alkaline) “cuts grease”, aka digests fats.
The most I ever got was burning hot spots from acid. It dries out my skin a whole lot and feels like it will flaky fall apart. So I did not know on this level or anything. Thanks.
The one that used to really bother me most while painting cars was lacquer thinner. The true virgin stuff is fine, but the reclaimed stuff has something caustic in it. Not only does it react with paint differently, but get a spot of it on the skin occasionally, and like 10 minutes later, oh god the burning was terrible. That happened many times when I would be doing something like clear coat that I could not stop until I reached a break point where I could hide the haze.
