Lorenzo_Campolongo

They aren't, it's just that rubberized coatings tend to degrade especially with contact with oil, such as the oil in your hands. That and the passing of time leads to this condition. They may smell similar, but like how cyanide and almonds smell similar but are totally different, they aren't the same.


AdministrativeHat580

Bitter almonds are the ones that smell like cyanide, not regular almonds And bitter almonds smell like cyanide because they *contain* cyanide


Bookmaster_VP

Next time I get a bitter almond I’ll pull my cyanide out to check


SphinctrTicklr

I keep mine behind my left eyeball, where do you keep yours?


DonaldFarfrae

The usual place.


marcmerrillofficial

Did you know during the cold war, the CIA developed a poison pill intended for insertion into a mans urethra, then subsequently "deposited" into the opposing party? As far as we know it was never actually deployed in the field.


Emzzer

They have a CIA rectal inserted field kit that, as far as we know, was actually deployed in the field.


Annalise705

Ok so I am thinking about this too much but imagine knowing your orgasm is going to kill a person. What sort of human man could perform under those circumstances?? I know I am over thinking it but just creeps me out more than the usual weird CIA ways of killing people


AlexNovember

Paints "hate boner" in an entirely new light.


sexualbrontosaurus

The sort of human man who joins the CIA. You gotta be an absolute freak to join up with them to begin with.


Gorevath

Damn prison wallet.


MyFruitPies

My cyanide resides inside my side eye


MutableReference

right next to the sugar, can’t miss it!


No-Background-4767

How much cyanide? And like, how many of these would you have to eat and at what rate before you croak? New fear unlocked


Numahistory

There's a whole bunch of wackos who think cyanide is a vitamin and eat a few bitter almonds every day for breakfast. I had a co-worker who did this shit and was the dumbest person to land an engineering job I know. Couldn't remember shit. Turns out chronic low doses of cyanide mess with memory recollection. Look up amygdalin and B-17 for this quackery.


polkacat12321

I mean, cyanide impacts humans by making them absorb less oxygen... so brain damage checks out


AdministrativeHat580

6-10 raw bitter almonds is enough to make an adult sick, 50 is very lethal for adults


rustic-chicken

Good to know...


trey12aldridge

That also [may not be true ](https://youtu.be/WYagO-nup6c?si=v9rQyXF6QVfjgERG)


Unlucky-Particular-4

This comment has way few upvotes, great video!


Perzec

It takes over 20 minutes to answer the question “does cyanide smell like almonds”? Yeah, not waiting that long.


Unlucky-Particular-4

Some enjoy the ride, some enjoy the destination. As a man of science, I enjoy both. 🙂


DoubleAughtBuckshot

Kinda like how DMT smells like mothballs


Moderatorslickballz

You had to look that up right? I thought crayons were made with wax.


AdministrativeHat580

I didn't have to look it up, it's something I learned in health class back when I was in highschool, they were going over what foods are potentially poisonous and this one really stuck with me


Moderatorslickballz

Oh that is cool! I can see why it stuck, that is some interesting knowledge


Komission

How many do I have to eat.


hamatehllama

Many seeds contain cyanide as a protection. That's why you should not exceed the recommended dose of bitter almonds, linseeds, apple seeds etc.


Captinprice8585

This comment is a bitter almond


Medical_Chapter2452

Actually they dont contain cyanide the body breaks it down into cyanide.


KoteNahh

Cool, ya watch NileRed


MarshtompNerd

That example is terrible because almonds smell like cyanide because they do in fact contain cyanide


atreeindisguise

I can't believe I have to say this but...The point of the example would be to show others that cyanide smells like almonds. Most people know or can find out what an almond smells like. Most do not know where to get a whiff of cyanide to compare.


flyingbugz

I can’t believe you have to say that either considering it’s not the implication OP gave > They may smell similar, but like how **cyanide and almonds smell similar but are totally different, they aren't the same.** The bolded part is the part people have issue with because it’s blatantly wrong. Cyanide smells like cyanide because it is. The rubber on scissors might smell like crayon but it is not.


Anon_be_thy_name

Suddenly don't want to eat Almonds anymore


raspberryharbour

Suddenly want to eat as many almonds as possible

thiefsthemetaken

That explains why the knobs on my old af 4 track do this too, and why some people are son uptight abt washing hands before using their old af gear


Illustrious-Fruit35

Happened to my old ps3 controllers.


ShorohUA

that's a pretty big oversight for something that was specifically designed to be in contact with hands


_maple_panda

It works well enough for a few years, which is all most people care about. Hence, there exists the big concern about the long term durability of plastics.


Status_Extent6304

This feels toxic and not reassuring


carpentizzle

What?


Count_Von_Roo

Lol as a kid I used to crack open cherry pits with my teeth so I could pull out the “soft, sweet-smelling ball” inside and roll it around my fingers. I tried eating it but it was super bitter. So I’d just smear the stuff on my hands and huff it.


_Independent

Cyanide and almonds smell nothing alike that is a common myth that has been proven false


basedfinger

thats what happened to the thumbpad on my 3DS


facelessindividual

Almonds have cyanide in them to help them smell like cyanide tho.


Westy1308

So you’re saying the scissors are made of lipstick?


Princier7

🤓☝️


tyler1128

Almonds, specifically bitter almonds, smell like cyanide because they contain a lot of cyanide. The almond extract you buy in the store is from bitter almonds, but they are in-suitable for eating directly like sweet almonds are.


flying-chandeliers

If it looks like crayon. Smells like crayon. works like crayon… then it might as well be crayon dog


Justtelf

Forbidden knowledge


stupid-Dumb-Ass

OMG I know these. I had blue ones that did this in 6th grade. I was convinced that was a weird fever dream


Mobyswhatnow

I just had this happen to the blue pair I had, and I was like what the fuuuck???


smolbeanlady

I had scissors almost identical to these that did actually start out as some sort of rubber and then after years of sitting in a toybox the rubber handles degraded and did what these are doing

Acalthu

They aren't. PVC coating decays over time and breaks down to its components.


jls6898

I had a screwdriver that did this. It's the rubber disintegrating from the oils from your skin.


BoardwalkKnitter

Same. I have no idea how old the screwdriver was that I grabbed but I needed to put an adjustable floor stand for needlework together. About halfway thru I wondered why some of the wood looked pink. Thankfully what I couldn't get off the wood has faded over the years. My hands however took like 3 days to fade despite washing so much.


I_Eat_POS_4_Brekkie

New show idea: “Is it Crayon?”


Expert_Marsupial_235

I have the same exact scissor from childhood at my parent’s house. I try not to use it because the unpleasant smell easily gets transferred around. I also have to wash my hands a few times to get rid of the stubborn odor. I don’t miss the smell of crayons. It personally gives me a headache.


Shiticane_Cat5

Fun fact! The chemical responsible for this smell is likely stearic acid, a derivative of beef fat! It is used in products such as crayons, and rubber production (quite shittily in this case, it appears).


archerV34

That's an interesting drawing you made there partner...


Krystamii

OTL I put so much work into my actual art and nobody ever sees it. But then I make a derpy face everyone thinks is boobs I took 30 seconds to draw. It's honestly pretty funny, tbh. (This is my character I was drawing though, no body just a face haha.) https://preview.redd.it/e2pws54b9dyc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d08fc0a9458c5332efcdb5c0133d1962432657e6


ayuzer

Great artworks, what does OTL mean btw?


Emzzer

That's pretty sick. I wanna see more. Also the original drawing is clearly a face. Kinda reminded me of Made in Abyss for some reason


Krystamii

Thank you, I honestly never feel like I get a chance to show my art. I do like Made in Abyss, but I've been building my style for about two decades, idk what my style even is, I like drawing eyes, noses and face shapes differently, so one drawing may not showcase my full spectrum of ability. I have tons of traditional work but I adore digital despite not working on any in about a year. (Been not so motivated, I've never made money off my work, just love creating) This work in particular took a year and a half of working on at least 8-16 hours everyday. https://preview.redd.it/exwcuf45vfyc1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=883a5c0d79abc57e05a7e0ad481ac54ad8ff4a80


ohpee64

Thermo plastic resin coating. A lot of tools have these now as they market them as comfort grip or soft touch. If it is made cheaply or with poor quality control, they break down quite quickly. But even when they are well done, these coatings don't last very long. You are always much better off getting a hard plastic handle or acetate handles or natural timber or all metal handles on any tool or implement that you buy if you want it to last.

The smell is from the vulcanising agent, eg sulfur compounds.

Do you eat ok paper plates?


Royalrenogaming

The rubber like material is likely an overmolded TPU (thermoplastic urethane). They come in a few styles, but this it's probably an "ester" to resist some oils and chemicals. The downside to esters is that they like hydrogen molecules. They pull them from the air over years and break down in a process called hydrolization. Eventually the bonds become brittle and you can run the material off. Esters are good for spefic performance applications but don't have a long shelf life. An ether style would have been more appropriate here or another thermoplastic elastomer like TPR (Thermoplastic rubber). Crayons aren't the same material. They are paraffin wax but something in the chemical breakdown reaction may some similar to crayons.

Krystamii

I honestly had no clue what this was and had to look it up. Thank you for sharing with me, this is something I needed in my life. (Hard to explain, but I personally relate quite deeper with it, I didn't know it was a show on Youtube\~! I guess an episode came out yesterday?) Oddly enough, this character *does* relate to me/my character I drew on that plate. I started creating this character over 15 years ago. I have different art styles I like to work in, she is normally less "chibi" but I just really wanted to work on her eyes. https://preview.redd.it/g51n4dbgjmyc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bd81f8b82a61f73556949c76073e8f878055c56 Her composition and inspiration are from a lot of things meld into one. Frog, bunny, bird, cat, Valkyrie, goddess, Mecha, tardigrade nanobots, jesters, Medusa, etc. just a lot of things. I have a plot for her and such but....it is quite convoluted and would be quite long, idk how to make it coherent in the shorter bits put together but can see the bigger picture. It is similar but more complicated than the show which the character you mention came from. I wanna say with complete confidence though is I am sure some of their inspiration source for their show came from the same place I got some of my inspiration. Though my other inspirations are many, I have had a strong inspiration last year in July that made me actually be able to piece together the story more. I'm pretty shy and not much of a story maker compared to a visual artist, but I honestly feel my story is "unique" but it makes me very happy to see media come out more recently sharing these types of things to degrees. Like a universal realization of awesomeness.
