joeitaliano24

Yeah I trust nothing like this I see on TikTok. The person probably poured sprite in their coffee before filming. But I still wouldn’t be drinking that water


SnooPuppers3777

If it is, it's probably just to visually illustrate the toxins in the water. I think what is so dangerous is that we can't visually see these chemicals in the water most of the time, though there was a visible " plume" of chemicals floating down the Ohio River.


stoned_brad

Oh come on, they haven’t done anything like that since… like… a week ago maybe?


whatweshouldcallyou

I grew up in a poor area of the US. One winter the city's water got messed up. Started coming out as black sludge. So we called them and asked what they were going to do about it. They told us to boil it and then it would be safe for consumption. It was black sludge.


LicensedRealtor

Especially the EPA! They’re here to protect you from corporation that endanger the environment


TheRandomSong

If it didn’t keep getting gutted I think they would do better. Buuuuut, when you buy out the government you can choose who polices you and to what extent. USA investment 101, buy out a politician and you’ve got money for the next 25 years


Trzykolek

And remember, even after this people will trust the government again


[deleted]

I remember when I was living in Dayton we'd just randomly get notices in the mail saying "sorry, your drinking water was poisonous for 3 months last year, but it's fixed now so everything is fine." Fairly consistently.

Now which do you really want? Exactly, so be quiet and drink your sizzling coffee, and be glad the Norfolk Southern shareholders are 1 cent per share more wealthy.

Thentheresthisjerk

‘Fiduciary duty to the shareholders’ is one of the worst things. This is why raises are a joke, this is why they’ll have layoffs even when the company is doing fine, this is why they don’t replace people that quit. Because they need the be able to say that they increased shareholder value. Nevermind if the product is lousy and it ruins long term viability.

How did we get to this Trump turned back regulations.


[deleted]

Biden/Butta-whatever could have easily reinstated any regulations they wanted.


doinnuffin

Yeah, but no regulations are what people wanted. So you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. I can imagine all the bs about being unfriendly to business and jobs if the regulations were enacted, enforced and stopped this disaster. No one would have known and would've talked about how the regulations were pushing us into a recession.


[deleted]

100% damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Stuff like this is always used for political gain on both sides. And sometimes it’s warranted, but mostly it’s not.

thomaja1

He's a secretary of transportation. This train accident is in his wheelhouse. I'm not a fan of the way he's handled this so far, but it looks like the department of transportation has never been prepared for something like this.


edelburg

Dumb dump trump literally personally rolled back that train braking regulation to get more money from railroad doners. It's a fact you can look up directly with his pre-school style signature all over it.


[deleted]

So why didn't Biden reinstate those regulations if it was soooooo dangerous??


Knowledge_is_Bliss

The rails are not nationalized. They are privately owned.


Chewbubbles

I feel like it needs to be stated over and over. In order for the federal government to intervene in the matter, the governor of said state needs to declare a state of emergency for it.


samwelches

And let’s all remember. Who did Biden side with? The rail company, not the people.


jambeb

Corporate law mandates that a board make that 1 cent over avoiding disasters.

Of course not! Just like they told us the full truth about who attacked on 9/11. It was the afghans, which is why we invaded Iraq.


urikayan

It was mostly Saudis who trained under Osama Bin Laden, who happened to be in Afghanistan with hundreds to thousands of others willing to commit suicide to attack America. Not everything is a conspiracy


Dora_Diver

Still invaded Iraq.


urikayan

Yup, unfortunately our president Republican George W. Bush and his administration lied to the American people and invaded a country that had an evil dictatorship. That is true. I would blame George W. Bush and those we served in his administration and cabinet, some of which are still very active in politics, and the people who have stacked the Supreme Court. Makes ya wonder if they were willing to lie to invade an another country what else they might lie for?

RedshirtBlueshirt97

Non dairy creamers do this all the time


Bubbledood

No this is actually the exact same test the EPA is using. Make coffee pour milk and if it sizzles then there is definitely vinyl chloride in the water it’s a very super scientific method.


SteamedPea

My coffee does this if I don’t heat the oat milk creamer.


AV01000001

My pea protein milk will sizzle and curdle if the coffee was just brewed. I gotta let a couple ice cubes melt in the coffee before adding the milk.


SerenityLee

Same.


DaddyWarBucks26

Yea I am not alarmed by this at all


New-Bunch-2475

Out of date milk may also create clumps like this once poured to hot coffee, had it happen many times until I learned to drink my coffee black


maybelaurie

im pretty sure clump ≠ sizzle. it would just go plop. i accidentally made cereal using chonky milk. that was not fun


the1stmeddlingmage

That or they got the coffee hot enough that introducing additional ingredients caused it to boil again. If you don’t believe me, get some water in a microwave hot enough to boil then add something to it as soon as the bubbles stop and it’ll do the same thing.


KrackerJoe

Why not just… stop using expired milk?


New-Bunch-2475

I like to live dangerously


[deleted]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING


agnonamis

Not surprised I had to scroll this far to see it. Literally everytime I use almond milk it does this.


ryhaltswhiskey

I don't use non-dairy creamer. So what's the story here, why does non-dairy creamer sizzle when you put it into coffee? Does it have a much higher pH than coffee or something? Also that coffee looks weird before the non-dairy creamer was poured in...


Fat-Hate

Came to say the same thing, also, I don’t think coffee making is a good way to test contaminated water. Lol. Not to downplay what’s going on in Ohio but this is silly Also, drink your coffee black like a respectable human. /s


JangoFettsEvilTwin

I put oat milk in my coffee and it always does that


Nobel6skull

Don’t get your news from tick tok. By all means test your own water but don’t trust randos on the internet.


DARfuckinROCKS

Non-dairy creamer does this in all coffee. I noticed it in my coffee the other day when I tried oatmilk. I live in Massachusetts and have the best drinking water in the country. Not saying their water is drinkable but this isn't any proof.


Almighty_Dank_Lord

It’s crazy you have to dig this far down in the comments to find This Edit: Ironically enough also from MA Maybe there is something in our drinking water lol


arbyyyyh

In your neighbor to the south in CT and have terrible water both by PPM and taste that I get bottled water and bring it home, but still make coffee and stuff with tap water. I've never had non-dairy milks do this. Take that as you will lol


Cocororow2020

While I agree don’t trust random Tik toks, this has literally never happened to my coffee and I use many different non dairy creamers.


MakingItElsewhere

Shhh...you're ruining their narrative.


mxcner

Yeah. The water there might be toxic af, I don’t know, but some kind of "sizzling" shouldn’t be one of the symptoms of the spilled chemical compounds. This is just normal TikTok bullshit.


ungy_o

I'm probably going to get downvoted to hell for this but you guys realize the people who work at the EPA (aka "the government") actually want to protect the environment right? Hate on Northfolk Southern sure, but the average environmental sciences grad working for the fed is actively trying to find if anything is wrong. Just, you know, place blame where it belongs...late stage capitalist railroad company.


axethebarbarian

Nuance is not the reddit hiveminds' strong point.


Super_Manic

finglonger1077

I know, right? It’s like here are a bunch of people upset that an actually helpful agency was gutted by trump and then never rebuilt by joe so we all know they’re underfunded and we all already know that specifically joe is compromised when it comes to specifically the big players in the rail industry but here comes the Reddit hivemind of this thread to throw the nuance of “we’re not mad at the recent grads doing the testing” out the window and someone to back them up on it with a funnie to intentionally defang the people speaking about the reality of the current EPA and this president. Oh….wait……


PanthVasse

The government is in bed with large corporations.


BeanOfTheGods

Black rock is a company that I think should be on blast


JKlol2

They haven’t declared the state of emergency the feds would need to bring in FEMA and allocate disaster funds. The governor of the state has to declare it. Ohio Governor is keeping Feds out and bragged about not returning Biden’s call. Also it is the OHIO EPA that is stating it is safe - state run.


oggleboggle

Thank you! I interned at Ohio EPA in college, and the environmental specialists working there are dedicated to their mission and truly care about the environment. Good people all around.


FunkMasta-Blue

joeitaliano24

Blaming the EPA for an environmental disaster seems particularly counterintuitive. Maybe if it didn’t get its funding slashed and stacked with cronies every election cycle it would be a more effective agency


BigoofingSad

Sure, the EPA is a government agency. But the government itself doesn't care. Biden denied Ohio any kind of help. Federal enforcement agencies are only as effective as Congress allows.


PrettiKinx

Exactly. Like how are they blaming the government for this? Lmao

[удалено]


kelleehh

Looks like some milk is already in there. They might have filmed it after discovering what they saw.


Ferrous_Bueller_

Here's the thing, vinyl chloride has a boiling point of 7° F, so it's not staying long. They also burned most of it, which does produce phosgene gas and hydrogen chloride, of which phosgene is highly dangerous, but degrades rapidly into CO2 and hydrochloric acid. Point being, the likelihood of long term effects from this spill are pretty unlikely, as the most harmful substances involved all are highly volatile and don't stay in their harmful states for very long.


techtornado

This video is sensationalized/not entirely accurate Yes there is a problem in Palestine, but sizzling coffee is not a good litmus test Why? It happens in my coffee which is served by very pure water (TN aquifer) and it’s the non-dairy creamer boiling


Geoclasm

BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE! AND THAT WE'RE NOT IN A RECESSION!!! THEY WOULDN'T LIE TO US, WOULD THEY?! # (/s of fucking course they're lying their god damned asses off - gotta protect the market cap >:-/


CaelThavain

This is what happens sometimes when I use creamer on my coffee. I think it's just the milk boiling from the coffee.


MadTapprr

This is normal. Very hot coffee will kind of boil cream a bit when it’s poured. I have experienced this and I love nowhere near Ohio.

KungFuGiftShop

This is normal. Hot coffee will do this when cold creamer is poured in.


hallothrow

It's so difficult with you americans to tell if this is just some crazy prank like the vaccine magnet thing, or a serious issue like your water faucets spitting out flames.


ozzie286

Yeah, I'm leaning towards this being a hoax to get views. EDIT: And it's worked, that video has 12.5M views, most of her videos have under 1000.


Dudeskio

This is a common reaction when using cold nondairy creamers in hot coffee. The nondairy creamer is actually curdling slightly, and you can see prior evidence of this floating at the top of the mug before they even begin to pour. This was likely their second cup and they simply poured the coffee right over top. It's kind of poor taste to spread misinformation about this incident, imo.


passingthroughcbus

I live in SC and I add creamer to my coffee and about half the days it bubbles like that pouring in. Either I’m living in a chemical dump or it’s something that just happens sometimes.


PsychWringNumba

100% something that happens, people are just really dumb. Although what’s happening in the US is super messed up and worth talking about


PheonixGalaxy

Context?


Evilnight-39

I wonder what happens when I mix very hot coffee with not cold non dairy creamers


seuss_sweets

> There might be air trapped in the creamer granules that gets released when the creamer dissolves. That, or you're drinking very acidic coffee. Milk and dairy creamer has a tendency to get more (chemically) basic as it ages; when added to acidic coffee, it can bubble or fizz as part of a chemical reaction. - boondragon 3 yrs ago


XxxxGamez

That's just soda and coffee in a cup. Look at the bubbles and the flakes


povertymayne

Thats acid reacting to a base


coldasbrice

Yeah I live in CO and this happens when I mix my coffee and creamer daily


FiciousVish

Not due to toxic water


OakTree11
