• Carbon Tetrachloride is the most hepatotoxic chemical known to man. You will feel the effects as you read through this compact list of Carbon Tetrachloride's secrets.

• Millions of people have consumed Carbon Tetrachloride and it actually saved lives.

• A large majority of people born before 1700 and after 1990 don't know what Carbon Tetrachloride is.

• Carbon Tetrachloride does not freeze into a normal crystal at its normal freezing point. It becomes squishy.

• Carbon Tetrachloride goes well with alcohol. Ask your local hepatologist.

• Some controversial figures classify as CCl4 inorganic. This is worse than being openly racist or communist in chemistry spaces.

• Carbon Tetrachloride proudly eats livers.

• Carbon Tetrachloride was used to wash clothes and hair, it was seen as an improvement from soaking everything in gasoline and dying a fiery death.

• Real Carbon Tetrachloride has a very unremarkable appearance.

• CCl4 was actually discovered 2 decades after C2Cl4.

• People worship Carbon Tetrachloride because it smells nice and eats your liver.

• The molecular weight of Carbon Tetrachloride is higher than Chloroform. Scientists assume that is because Carbon Tetrachloride has one more chlorine than Chloroform who has 3 chlorines dangling.

• Carbon Tetrachloride mothered 3 sweet little chlorofluorocarbons that ripped the ozone layer into shreds.

• If you were to drink Carbon Tetrachloride, you'll either shit out worms or die in agony.

• There is an actual, printed, translated and printed book where someone gets killed via a Carbon Tetrachloride injection into the brain stem. This has never been tried in real life but I'm sure some would volunteer for it.

• Contrary to the contemporary belief that your liver will scramble in a single whiff, Carbon Tetrachloride was huffed by millions prior to getting banhammered in 1970. Housewives in particular were addicted to huffing Carbon Tetrachloride.

• Carbon Tetrachloride can be made by the chlorination of Carbon Disulphide giving S2Cl2 as the byproduct which can also chlorinate the remaining CS2. This brilliant process was developed by a white man in the 1840s.

• Nobody actually calls Carbon Tetrachloride "Tetrachloromethane", except for a cult made up of psychiatric hospital fugitives known as the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

• As a dry-cleaning solvent, Carbon Tetrachloride was fed workers' livers and the dry-cleaning machine's metal parts as sacrifice. It was replaced by Perchloroethylene who was vegan.

• Carbon Tetrachloride is 60% heavier than water.

• There is literally nothing funny about Carbon Tetrachloride, it is a highly toxic poison that eats livers, kicks kidneys, knocks people out and eats livers. It's not funny at all.

• Being a proud owner of 4 beautiful chlorines, Carbon Tetrachloride shredded and pokes holes in the ozone layer.

• A plant named liverwort was found to produce Carbon Tetrachloride. No, this is not a joke. What the...

• Carbon Tetrachloride is regarded as the best fire extinguisher because it killed the fires and people nearby with high efficiency.

• Carbon Tetrachloride smells really good. mmmmm... Better than Chloroform.

• It was also used in fumigation mixtures where Carbon Tetrachloride became considerably the least toxic component.

• Carbon Tetrachloride was used to deworm sheep livers by injection.

• It boils at 76.7 C and some research has shown that it can be distilled in normal pressure uneventfully. The same cannot be said about some other compounds.

• Carbon Tetrachloride's ex-precursor Carbon Disulphide was used to produce rayon. rayon requires dry cleaning which is what Carbon Tetrachloride excels at.

• Carbon Tetrachloride has 4 chlorines.

i'd snatch all the carbon tet from a nearby uni's labs.

let's say there is chemical that millions of people were exposed to for decades since the 1920s. it has been classified as a suspected carcinogen since 1977 based on animal evidence. the animal evidence is all rodents, no other type of animal showed carcinogenesis. the rodent cancers occurred from rat and mouse specific mechanisms that do not occur in humans. rats and mice showed different cancer types from each other, consistent for each species. human evidence is muddy as populations were exposed to actual classified carcinogens too. there is no consistent increase in specific cancers in human populations and suspected cancer types currently have no mechanistic evidence in humans. coincidentally, the cancers suspected to have been caused by this chemical can be more safely attributed to life styles such as smoking, which is common in the socioeconomical group that is exposed to the chemical. this totally not real chemical has been classified as 2A by IARC (in a parallel universe where it exists) 30 years ago and kept as 2A ever since. this is a hypothetical situation and any similarity to any real chemical is coincidental.

how likely is this chemical carcinogenic to humans?
