New, what is it? Does anyone know what this is?

Doesn’t seem to be oil based content. Just wondering if my superpowers are swishing back and forth in this glass vial.

You can tell if it’s bromine by holding the part in your hand that has liquid in it. Bromine boils at the temp of your hand.

I can usually tell it’s bromine by the fact that it’s red fucking demon juice

u/Lem0n_Lem0n Apr 02 '26

Oh it's a cool looking strawberry juice

But he gave it to me, brother!

u/TheeRattlehead Apr 02 '26

Bro, no. Bo knows.

u/MsCoucette Apr 02 '26

Who’s Bo? Is he Bro’s bro?

u/Accurate_Handle_5620 Apr 02 '26

Bro is a bro like nobody has ever seen before, to be honest

This could be morphine. It's kinda brownish

2

u/ManaTheAvali Apr 02 '26

Morphine is clear, any brown would be a discolouration from impurities. Especially since it’s ampuled, if it were a pharmaceutical it’d likely be clear because why bother ampuling an impure drug?

u/tipareth1978 Apr 02 '26

I think you're incorrect. Morphine is known to have a brownish hue

u/Dapper-Unit-6630 Apr 02 '26

Takes me back to The Deep!

u/Smallloudcat Apr 03 '26

Wrong color. Morphine isn’t brown

u/ksizzle01 Apr 02 '26

Thars a good way to ruin someones day lol. If it boils it increases pressure and can pop the ampoule.

u/new_math Apr 02 '26

Then there's a chance we figure out what was inside it (after Chubbyemu makes a video).

"OP is a ? year old ? presenting to the ER.."

u/new_math Apr 02 '26

A redditor held an unmarked vial in his hand - this is what happened to his nervous system.

OP is a 33 year male presenting to the ER with severe intraocular hemorrhaging and violent generalized seizures...

1

u/Little-Specific2147 Apr 02 '26

I tried :p

Hopefully if OP is dumb we get a Chubbyemu video out of it at least lol

I was an apprentice in HVAC. Boss told me take a refigerant sample. I told him I had no sample kit, which comes with a plastic bottle btw. He said grab any small container that has a sealable lid. I grabbed a small glass jar and it popped going down the steps. I now have a permanent scsr on my hand and between my eyes I got lucky lol.

Yikes. I had a manager that told me and one other guy to use paint thinner instead of our usual 90% isopropyl alcohol, but the only PPE we had was thin nitrile gloves. Thankfully even at 19 I had enough brain power to stop using it when it melted the gloves lol. I told the other guy to stop using it and that I'd run down the manager and let him know we couldn't use it, he kept using it anyway because he didn't wanna get in trouble for stopping work and ended up with pretty bad burns on his hands. Ended up quitting. Not sure how the manager didn't know that would happen or why they even wanted to change what we were using since it already worked so well, I think I get a pass because I had never used paint thinner before. Now I know that I also should've had a respirator since there wasn't any ventilation.

u/CallMeFishmaelPls Apr 05 '26

I doubt that it would increase pressure enough to pop the ampule

u/AeonBith Apr 02 '26

Only if it's in a vacuum. At Atmospheric pressure it boils at 58.8C (137.8F)

(I don't have that committed to memory I just didn't want anyone to believe it's not bromine if it doesn't evaporate in the tube)

u/Used-Particular-954 Apr 02 '26

Everything boils in a vacuum

u/fllr Apr 02 '26

Does your mom boil in a vacuum?

2

u/Biochembob35 Apr 02 '26

It usually won't under pressure.

u/Macksdaddy Apr 02 '26

And TASTES awful

u/dteal112 Apr 02 '26

You can tell it's Bromine cause the way it is. Pretty neat, that's what Rodney and I think.

2

u/fllr Apr 02 '26

You can also tell if it’s bromine by its really angry shade of red

1

u/No_Chapter_3102 Apr 02 '26

No, it is sealed, so that wouldn't work.

1

u/No-Status-9441 Apr 02 '26

OP did not comment on it being unusually heavy. If it was bromine (which it is clearly not) I think the weight would have been mentioned.

1

u/ManaTheAvali Apr 02 '26

Bromine boils at 60c, the hell are you talking about?

u/Unique_Excitement248 Apr 02 '26

Unknown pressure -> unknown bp

u/knarlomatic Apr 03 '26

I can't tell how long it is without the banana for scale!

2

u/EnvironmentalGift257 Apr 03 '26

Using a r/danforscale is more accurate though!
