Apparently one can make dry water with a blender - mix fine silica powder and water in a 1:19 ratio (by mass) and put it in a blender for a few minutes. I'm not going to risk my blender to try it, so who's first?

I've actually tried this, but due to long-chain reactions in the molecular bonds I ended up with a mixture that was around 20% Bumcivilian by volume. I couldn't hear a thing for 20 minutes, so be careful.

Sounds like you got the reaction wrong. If you do it correctly, it should be possible to mafipulate it into powered embenzalmine nitrotamine.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Been waiting for 25 years to use that word seriously. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico...

You've just unironically and contextually used what's currently the longest recognized word in the English language in an unforced manner. There has to be a prize for this.

Agreed. I’m a little envious.
