A "different" question about lye

This is a weird thread but I thought I'd comment... Lol.
No hydroflouricacid! It would kill you while you were dumping/dousing the body and does not effectively break down tissue (there's a video on YT comparing it eating away at raw chicken to sulfuric and hydrochloric [for science!!]). HF can kill you if a dime sized amount falls on you. It will react with all of the calcium in your body and kill you from the inside out. It will also react with any glass and make it disolve so bye bye bath tub!
I was told that lovely information about HF when I was about to start working with it. Scarrry stuff.
I'm not sure how well lye would work. Either way, all of these would take a pretty long time. Gators are probably the best choice.

This is a fun thread. Please don't make it a monthly challenge. Although I do have a friend with pigs, and an in-law I'd be willing to test on.

I got a little lye bead on my skin while making soap a few weeks back.... had a nice perfect little hole in my skin... and FK did it burn.... Oh it burned and hurt soooo bad... but I was at an imperative moment in soaping and stopping - would have resulted in a seizing, so... I kept going...I'm hardcore like that. (Taking one for the team and all that).
All the while I thought...
"WOW that's a good way to torture a person... I wouldn't even kill them first... I'd just pour some water on them - then drop some lye beads on them..."
However.
I'm a mom. And I mean.... I live in Suburbia... I don't have a place to exact such torturous endeavors as I also have terror thoughts of the Breaking Bad Bathtub ShinDig. Nor do I have any enemies (currently) that warrant such thoughts lol

I was about to ask"wouldn't pigs be more efficient but...
Haha, I'm glad this was taken in the spirit I'd hoped...I'd had visions of someone tipping off Homeland Security or something lol.
Yes, I'd advised her that hydroflouric acid would definitely work, but she was hell-bent on using lye for some reason...possibly because using acid is what everyone else uses
Oh and, I prefer pigs for my body recycling needs :twisted:
I found my answer here.
I don't watch TV much but I do remember a certain scene from Silence of the Lambs towards the end of the movie. I personally don't harbor that much hate for anyone to want that kind of torture to them as of yet.

One of my professors told me that they often get older people who died in their homes and haven't been found in a while. Many of them are missing noses or other pieces of flesh and you can clearly see the bite marks from their pets. Kitty or Fido may be loyal and mourn you for a while, but at some point they have to eat something to survive...
Laundry detergent seems to work quite well:

It has enzymes that can break down carbohydrates, fat and protein. In the end, there's only bones left. I would try to dissolve them with acid.
There seems to be a few in history, this one came from Wikipedia:
Leonarda Cianciulli (April 14, 1894 – October 15, 1970) was an Italian serial killer. Better known as the "Soap-Maker of Correggio" (Italian: la Saponificatrice di Correggio),[1] she murdered three women in Correggio between 1939 and 1940, and turned their bodies into soap and teacakes.

I have always heard that people make the best soap. I guess this is where it came from.

In relation to this thread, the husband came home last night and somehow I brought up the fact that the soap making forum that I was on had a thread about lye and using it to dispose of bodies (he looked a little perplexed, haha).
Afterwards, he told me that he was listening to an audio book on the way home where a part of it discussed how in certain areas, buried bodies will actually turn into a soapy substance! Conditions have to be perfect though and I guess it's called "gave wax".

The more you know, haha.
