I wish!

Like chicken

Sigh of relief over here

Solved!

…you may be correct.

I like to live dangerously

I’ll do that 🤣

Yeah I definitely did not expect it to be so controversial!

At first I was pretty disgusted by all the hate and downvotes but then things started to get funny, so yeah it’s been interesting!

You are the person I’ve been waiting for! Welcome to the party! I did try to burn a piece of it and it smelled like burning hair which would make sense if it’s sponge material which I’ve since learned is similar to keratin.

I put this in another comment but it just kinda scorched and smelled like burning hair

Could have been either! Some were from me, but it was in a box of rocks and shells that probably gouged it.

Since paper generally burns, that’s why I initially ruled out toilet paper or wipes

Do you think it should burn though if it’s paper and grease?

This is horrifying

I don’t have lye but what about vinegar?

I did see that in my cursory research! I ruled it out because it didn’t have the sweet smell described and it didn’t burn well

I agree, I don’t think it’s asbestos based on its behavior in water

Like salt water

Not sure where you got that idea

I could eat it…

It doesn’t burn, don’t think it’s TP but yes I did! Until y’all convinced me to perform destructive testing

Unfortunately I didn’t have any reason to be concerned until now

Thanks for the concern! I got it in a box of rocks and shells and had no reason to be scared

I thought of that too! It doesn’t burn, it scorches, but it sounds like gypsum doesn’t ball up like this in water
