GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT
(mander.xyz)
The Brachinus crepitans, or bombardier beetle, measures just 2 cm but wields a powerful chemical defense. When threatened, it mixes hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide inside its abdomen, triggering an exothermic reaction that reaches 100 °C. It ejects bursts of corrosive benzoquinones at 500 pulses per second, burning and repelling predators. This precise, repeatable mechanism has inspired research into reigniting gas turbines in aircraft under extreme conditions as low as –50 °C. Its internal valve and chamber system is now studied in chemical engineering and advanced biomimicry.
Or 0° Delisle if you just want to flex about knowing obscure temperature scales.
I don't think Kelvin is an obscure flex, but I had never heard of Delisle. That is a weird one! Thanks for sending me down a little rabbit hole.
Yes that is a flex tbh
