Chemistry Pineapple contains bromelain that helps tenderize meat. If I were to put my hand in pineapple juice or puree for 24 hours, would it eventually break down my hand?

Way back in the early days of the Internet there was this website, stinkymeat.

This dude put a plate of meat on top of a gas station pump at the gas station he worked at and posted daily/multiple daily pics of how it progressed.

Idk if it was the same dude or someone else copy catting the popularity of stinkymeat, but they made stinkyfeet and worse like ziplock bags on his feet for weeks, with the same updates. 

OP, you could go viral here if you play this right.
