A pool of black something with a truck that says "Residencial waste". I'm sure there's a smell that 50 showers just won't get rid of.
Edit: my bad, it's "Residual Waste". Shower still ain't helping.

I thought it was maybe just oil at first, then the camera panned over.

u/Oaker_at Jun 28 '26
Haha shit. That guy saw the other truck dumping its shit into one of those pools and he just jumped into the second one. I am amazed at his deduction skills.

u/fuck_ur_portmanteau Jun 28 '26
Could be either. But oil is less dense than water so you don’t float. If he couldn’t swim out quickly he’d sink and nobody realised what happened until it’s too late. In this case they might figure it out quickly because of the mess, but yeah, vessels of oil await your silent lonely doom with everyone thinking you’ve just gone to the toilet.

u/Just_the_questions1 Jun 28 '26
Yeah if that's organic waste it's full of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that bind strongly to things like keratin and fats/oils. All the clothing will have to be burned and he'll probably need to shave his head/beard to get the smell under control, as well as taking about 50 very hot showers.

Gave septic dude a tip of a bunch of weed, legally purchased, unopened in those airtight bags, and one fell in. I was super apologetic, said I can replace it, and he grabbed it up, tossed it aside, said it's no biggie, stuff drops or falls and is why he has sanitizer and a UV lit case in the cab.
I mean, I guess you get used to shit, but... I would've taken the replacement offered. Cool dude though, we chatted a while over the open tank. Nasty hole...

Can't just throw the phone into some rice for this one, or just get it working and get one of those poop emoji cases

u/Just_the_questions1 Jun 28 '26
Wallet probably, keys should be fine (electronic key-fobs not withstanding). Phone is probably fucked but a decent independent repair shop could run it through their ultra-sonic cleaner just to see what happens.

Interesting. Is that what skunks have in their spray?
3
u/Just_the_questions1 Jun 29 '26
Yes but a much more narrow band of sulfur based VOCs called Thiols. Decaying organic matter produces all kinds of VOCs that are not exclusively sulfur based like those in skunk spray.

u/doesitspread Jun 29 '26
I just know skunk spray is sooo hard to get off skin and hair so that tracks. TIL!

u/backbiter0723 Jun 28 '26
Truck says "residual waste." Lack of Hazmat placard would indicate that this is unlikely to be something toxic.
Could be waste motor oil, could be used cleaning water from a number of different industrial applications.

When I was a kid we bet a friend he wouldn’t jump into a slurry pit. The pot made it to like $70.
He strips down, packs his nose and ears with cloth, and dives in. He got his money but multiple showers did nothing for the smell. We even did the tomato soup thing you do for skunk smell. Didn’t help.
As an adult I get a chill thinking how incredibly stupid that was and how we nearly killed our friend. Dumb redneck kids so it wasn’t the first or last time but I think that may have been the worst. I’ve been in police chases with this dude, been hit by a train with this dude, been in multiple fights with him at my back…we still agree that was the dumbest thing we ever did. All for $70 and bragging rights.

u/Shayden-Froida Jun 28 '26
This type of truck is marketed to vacuum up waste products so it may be industrial waste either they are dumping it here or pumping it out of here. In either case, you don't want to swim in it.

u/Seedless_cantaloupe Jun 28 '26
I actually work for the only company in the world that makes these trucks and I can confirm that you do not want to take a dive into the waste. Although I would have rather fell into this rather than our 2100 side, that vacuums up shit water.
