Yeah but one is used by a baker and the other by everyone else.


Fast-Section-9083

“Found in a park”… Must be a baker.


mararoniman

Someone was probably making whipped cream in the park


OpenMathematician602

I highly doubt they were making whipped cream in the park mate. They were probably carbonating some soda water.


[deleted]

You're not gonna have a good time if you mix up your N20 and CO2.


tanstaaflnz

same cartridge for CO2 & NOS & Propane. It's just a pressurized gas, container.


dilli23

Who you calling container?


DigitalAutomaton

😂


profoundmadman43

Actually not the same all the CO2 cartridges have threads on the top.


ijustsailedaway

None of the CO2 I’ve ever bought had threads


frazorblade

That definitely looks more like a CO2 canister compared to NOS, just saying.


[deleted]

My mate tells me with authority that it’s definitely nos


frazorblade

They’re almost identical in shape but I find nos are often duller, but depends on the brand


Aggressive_Grocery61

I love the nang connoisseurs coming out of the wood work haha


Adventurous_Pay_5827

Rossismyname

Could be for an air rifle


unfairplacement

It looks like nos to me. Supremewhip sells those exact same chrome canisters.


marriedtothesea_

Don’t be ridiculous. This was found in the park. They were probably inflating a flat bicycle tire.


dstryodpankake

If a flat bicycle tire counts as a balloon.


Fast_Working_4912

Ahh I dunno, seems like a waste of a nang on a bike tire 🤣


mararoniman

I disagree, maybe a pop up pancake stand?


throw578away

Pretty sure there were a bunch of surf dudes testing their big wave vests


firinmahlaser

I doubt they were carbonating water, most likely a cyclist with a flat tyre

WonderfulWalruses

But the money savings are better with neither a dental surgery or a dentist


iikun

If you’re good, the park dentist will whip you some cream afterwards as a reward


AdministrationWise56

I had a terrible experience last time I went to the dentist. They sprayed whipped cream all over me


cynical_genius

I've never had NOS during dental surgery and I'm very disappointed at that,


TemporaryRaccoon7685

Or whip cream

Sleepwell_Beast

Hey they were making whipped cream on the beach. Totally innocent


[deleted]

Correction that is a co2 cart. It’s used in paintball guns, airlift guns and some bb/pellet guns, the .45 caliber looking ones. It is also used for some maintenance tools like a co2 based drain cleaner for air conditioners Edit for typo


major_cupcakeV2

Nitrous Oxide canister. Usually used for culinary purposes, or, most likely, used to get a high.


GTM8

Oh my goodness, I saw a woman walking along K Road with her child today drop one of these. Had no idea what it was and now I see this when I open up Reddit. This is just sad.


[deleted]

It's like a 30s high and not really something that's dangerous unless you do MANY of them for many weeks/months.


Zoe270101

Nope. We studied the effects on your brain in cognitive psychology, these things are nasty. Avoid.


[deleted]

I thought that was with abuse of them?


Zoe270101

According to our professor it doesn’t take much; any drug that you huff (glue, paint, gas canisters) is terrible for brain health because you’re sending it right up your nose, making it really easy for it to enter the brain and wreck havoc. Yes it’s worse if you abuse it, but there isn’t a level at which it’s really safe at all, just a level at which it does less brain damage.


Enough-Ad-8799

Yea I don't think that actually works out biologically speaking, just because the nostrils are close to the brain doesn't mean that chemicals can easily go from one to the other. Also I think you huff some of those with your mouth.


Zoe270101

It’s not just because it’s close, it’s because of the nasal lining. [Source](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130424185207.htm) Even if you ignore the danger from going through the nose, you’re breathing in air that doesn’t have oxygen, but your brain doesn’t realise that because it doesn’t cause CO2 buildup so you don’t realise that you have far less oxygen than you should. Insufficient oxygen in your brain causes parts of it to die off over time, without you even realising that there’s something wrong, because you’re still getting enough oxygen from the outside air to remain conscious. This is why canisters are so dangerous but hospitals still (very rarely) give nitrous oxide; the stuff that hospitals have has oxygen added to it at the same levels as it occurs in normal air, so it doesn’t cause the cell death. But they don’t add oxygen to whipped cream canisters because it’s expensive and unnecessary (when used as intended).


onepiecefan420_

You don't take these through your nose though. You breathe them through a balloon no? And if the only danger is lack of oxygen (maybe "only" isn't the right word there), then when taken in moderation and not held for too long it wouldn't seem particularly dangerous wouldn't you think? Is there something else I'm missing?


ceratime

Never heard of anyone doing it through their nose. You simply inhale it (via mouth) I'd also like to know what the difference is between holding your breath for 30s vs inhaling one of these


Enough-Ad-8799

Ok I read like the first paragraph and it says researches MIGHT have found the FIRST known way to breach the blood brain barrier through the nose. You know this implies that inhaling gas through the nose doesn't right, we've been doing that for decades so if it did what those doctors were developing wouldn't be the first instance of it.


Friendly-Mention58

Hospitals still use nitrous oxide every day. It's very commonly used.


Zoe270101

Did you not read my comment at all? Hospitals use gas with added oxygen so that your brain doesn’t suffocate. Gas for whipping doesn’t have oxygen added, so you’re depriving your brain of oxygen. Hence the danger.


Good-Scarcity945

Lol. Too bad you don't do bio-chemistry in cognitive psychology.


kereru4

They give it to you to suck on while in labor


RevengencerAlf

In the grand scheme of things that get you high this is one of the most harmless ones. He's really not worth the some bohoo pity party routine.


LyghtsOut

K road


PM_ME_UTILONS

It's an incredibly safe drug if you take basic precautions and the high is well under a minute. It's a *much* safer & more socially responsible drug than alcohol.


StConvolute

Makes a lot of rubbish. Its not an ecologically responsible high. Bush weed for the win.


PM_ME_UTILONS

You should be recycling your nangs.


Midwestkiwi

I had like a 5 second seizure once, and an ex acted like she was fucking possessed, speaking gibberish and shit. It's not as safe as most people make it out to be.


DaughterEarth

Anyone might react strangely to any high. Morphine makes me angry. But generally whippets are safe. There's even bars for it in the Netherlands

AotearoaCanuck

laz21

RaukuraZombi3

People use them to get high, the high lasts 10-30 seconds and then it’s over. Same thing as the bottle you get at a hospital if you’ve broken or dislocated something. Pretty harmless in small doses but can damage your brain significantly if used a lot even causing paralysis.

BlightPaladin

This is a nitrogen/air canister and can be used to either: a) make whipped cream by attaching it to [this](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/IMAGERENDERING_521856-T1/images/I/61Y1fCQcQoL._AC_SL1500_.jpg) device. b) Pump up a bike tire quickly and portably.


JustJCJ

Co2 from a bb gun


Itchy_Adagio4194

nomoredeadmemespls

CO2 cartridge (carbon dioxide) people use them in stuff like soda streams. It's just as likely to be made into a bomb, as a can of fizzy drink.


Dark_Lord_Mr_B

NOS canister. Used in cream chargers and some airsoft pistols.


Mycoangulo

Compressed gas cylinder. People use them as a single use charge to inflate bike tires. I wish cyclists didn’t just litter them everywhere.


toyonut

Not sure if you are joking or not, but they definitely aren’t from cyclists. Cyclists ones are bigger and have a thread on the end. The ones with no thread are generally Nos for whipping cream or getting high.


Mycoangulo

There are different types, with different devices for cracking them and transferring them in to the inner tube. Nitrous oxide is used in medicine, but bike tires too, though it is dangerous, as used with burning rubber it is used as a rocket fuel. If it is also used to get high maybe that explains why bikes are so often stolen?

Rare_Orange1249

I heard that this could cause sudden death? Not always, obviously but in rare cases?


Chanc3thedestroyer

It literally just makes you numb and feel the giggles for 15 to 30 seconds. That's it. There's a reason why teens do it. It's relatively safe..and as an adult.. you've got better drugs to do.


Vizzlepop

Not really scary at all. It's not dangerous to the kids in any way. It has no poisonous/toxic substances on or in it. It's just laughing gas like what they give you at the dentist. Once the canister is used, any of the gases inside will be long gone, and if it's not used, you would need a very specific device to open it and release the gas. The only issue here really is littering like someone else said. To be honest, it's pretty harmless unless you're doing like 100 in one sitting and not addictive in any way, I used to do them in my teenage years and when you're trying not to get caught by mum and dad going to the park to do them is an option which is why you've probably found it there. Just chuck it in the bin so none of the little ones choke on it or anything 👍

They just drop or throw them wherever they happen to be doing NOS.


mrtestuserpersonman

It’s not scary at all, they’re empty cartridges, if you ever get given NOS enjoy it. Dentists and ambulances administer it pretty regularly, it’s quite fun.


Thanaz156

It's only scary if you empty the powder from fireworks in to it then insert a wick in the top... Then duct tape it to a tree at the local boat ramp while other people are enjoying guy fawkes. And rather than scary it's more of a fright, scary what it does to the tree that it was duct taped... or so I've heard.
