To make soap, first we render fat.
The salt balance has to be just right so the best fat for soap comes from humans.
As the fat renders, the tallows float to the surface.
Once the tallow hardens, you skim off a layer of glycerin.
Add nitric acid, you've got nitroglycerin.
Then add sodium nitrate and sawdust, you've got dynamite.
People found clothes got cleaner when washed at a certain point in the river.
You know why? No?
Human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river.
Bodies burnt.
Water permeated the ashes to create lye.
The crucial ingredient.
Once it mixed with the melted body fat, a white soapy discharge crept into the river.
Oh, sorry, is this not where you were going with this thread?
