This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

One time we accidentally put a knife in a turbo chef oven.

It melted the handle in less than 5 minutes and the stench was unforgettable. Smell went down hallways.

Melting plastic is truly noxious. If not fake and gay his room must be a biohazard.

Depends on the plastic, you can safely heat most polypropylene and polyethylene based plastics. If it's putting off noxious fumes then it probably has urethane, styrene, or vinyl in it.

The worst plastic to overheat that I've worked with is kydex. Even though it's most common application is as a thermoplastic, if you over heat it the stuff off gasses hydrogen chloride.
