Some fiend posted this on Reddit this morning. Says nobody knows what it is because he lives in fucking China. But the internet knows all so a random homie jaggazz, posted the following response shortly after:

“True Story: I used to work for a medical device company that had 2 buildings separated by a parking lot. We tested a lot of products on cows blood. I’m talking sometimes 50 gallons a week. The EPA allowed us to dump it down the drains in the sinks.
Now in the other building, we had a manufacturing plant that made a product that had a primary ingredient of 30% Hydrogen peroxide. They were allowed to dump excess down the drain as well. Where the two sewer systems met in the parking lot (on more than a few occasions), blood + concentrated H2O2 blew manhole covers off, and oozed a nasty white foam such as this. It looked identical to OPs picture. Not saying that’s what this is, but that is immediately what I thought of.”

Then someone posted this video explaining the chemical reaction that was occuring.

Then came at jaggazz’ neck for either being lied to/making up his story…

I doubt that this story is true, insofar as it implicates permission from the US EPA. Ultimately, it is not the EPA that allows disposal of medical wastes, but a state’s environmental regulatory agency. I happen to work for my state’s environmental regulatory agency and there is NO WAY IN HELL OP’s facility would be permitted to allow dumping of cow blood into the municipal sewer system. It is also suspect that such an agency would allow the dumping of medical wastes in such high quantities that it could react with the wastes disposed by an adjacent facility. My agency takes into account all point sources in an area in order to determine limits on waste disposal from a point source.
What’s more, no such dumping would have been allowed since the enactment of the clean water act (which is also, basically, the creation of the modern iteration of the EPA). That’s more than 40 years of point source regulation. So either this facility was dumping illegally, or this story is total bullshit.

The reason I posted this is cause I just took a shower and then drank water right from the tap. Then I started thinking about how old my apartment building must be. That led to me thinking about the pipes. Then I realized that there is literally no way to change all the piping in a huge complex of buildings like the one I live in. Then I realized I was drinking from pipes that are probably like 80 years old. Then I realized that smoking weed and thinking about shit like this can really be an issue. Not only do I not know if Con Edison down the block is dumping whatever fucking chemicals they use to keep half of manhattan with power into the water … HOW FUCKING DISGUSTING MUST EVERY PIPE IN NYC BE? There’s prolly humongous king rats posting up. And roaches. Lead poisoning. I need a brand new crib with brand new pipes. We gotta make it. I gotta buy these pipes.

Fuck.
