In case anyone remembers my acid dilemma, I thought I'd throw this here for you.
A while back I was asking how long it would take to dissolve a body in acid. For writing purposes. Not psycho killer purposes. My conclusion was that it depends on the type of acid used, but typically could take at least 24 hours to fully dissolve both flesh and bones.
But I've made a new discovery! Thanks TikTok.
There's an acid solution referred to as piranha solution - a mix of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. I just witnessed this same solution absolutely demolish a hot dog in just under a minute. Not a single shred of hot dog left. The acid turned black and volatile when the hot dog went in, and returned to clear, normal acid when it was gone.
Naturally this solution would take longer to dissolve harder substances like bones, but I thought it was fascinating and figured my Tumblr account is half known for acid talk, so take that for what you will.
(I am a writer, not a psychopath, I promise)
