The Sludge's 8th Birthday
27 June 2026
The sludge was transferred into its current ~150 L barrel during the "Grand Dumping," receiving major additions including:
Large assortment of oils and chemicals
Bleach and drain cleaner residue
Paints and detergents
More coolant
Various medications
Cleaning products
Animal remains and blood
Gunpowder removed from live cartridges
Cheap SodaStream syrups
An unidentified box full of liquid found beneath the old sludge
The sludge has almost certainly received many additional substances over the years that have simply been forgotten because adding bizarre materials became routine.
What should I add next?
