gollark: For utterly destroying things, I'm sure you could come up with something higher energy than that.
gollark: Although sodium and chlorine are very evil on their own but fine in salt, hm.
gollark: I think the ones that aren't (alkali metals etc.) are mostly horrible when impure too.
gollark: My Discord bot's reminder function now supports times using SI prefixes, galactic years, bee lifespans, and fortnights! Unfortunately it can't actually handle times past 10000 CE due to stupid python limitations.
gollark: Well, there is no escape, all shall have MS accounts.
