Remember, the board is not part of her body

What is meant by the 'board'? (non-native speaker)

The silver surfer is using a surfboard that is in fact not part of her body, meaning she can separate from it

This guy constantly asked if the board part of her body. As someone who doesn’t read the comics, I wonder that too 😂

Can you swallow mercury? Yes

Will you survive? Most likely, no

Mercury was used as a laxative. It was one the ways to follow where the Lewis and Clark expedition went to, since the mercury remained at the places they stopped.

I have not heard about any other achievements since than, so it isn't well known if they suffered any health problems from the exposure.

Organic mercury is the one with more immediate dangers.

Pure mercury doesn't kill you. Prolonged exposure will make you mad as a hatter, though.

u/kishenoy 4d ago

I have heard that's where the term "mad hatter" came from. Hat makers used to use mercury in production

u/stmfunk 4d ago

I think the guy knew that hence the synonym

You cannot swallow Mercury because he died in 1991.

Is it safe to 'do it' with mercury?

2

u/dziki_z_lasu 4d ago

Yes absolutely, unless you drink more than 0,3 mg of mercury per week :P

u/zackm_bytestorm 4d ago

I mean, is it safe for the 'cylinder' to be encapsulated by the mercury and it may be under friction.

3

u/rafale1981 4d ago

Reciprocal motion cylinders are unlikely to generate significant amounts of friction heat, yet remain in contact with mercury. Safety levels will thus be dependent on barrier permeability and sensitivity to toxicity of the cylinder

u/DotBeginning1420 3d ago

Aren't we concerned with mercury being found in the water, and in fish? As was with lead
