The ocean is already contaminated with dimethymercury (and cousins) at large scale. Unclear the exact mix, but around 45,000 to 80,000 tons from human sources. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_mercury_pollution#:~:.... ]

That is why eating too much Tuna will give you mercury poisoning. And the Nazis literally used nerve agents (Zyklon B) among other things. Nasty nerve agents (and most household pesticides) came out of WW2 research largely done by the Nazis (through Bayer, as it turns out).

And the moment anyone got wind of an attempt to try to do such a thing, enough humans would go to ground you’d never actually succeed. Hell, enough are probably already under ground for whatever reason you’d never succeed even if you did manage to catch the whole world by surprise and somehow actually release it all at scale.

The Nazi’s did not fail because they failed to try to kill humans at scale. Frankly, they did it at the largest scale since probably Ghenghis Khan. Certainly in a far more industrial fashion.

The issue is that it’s actually really hard to kill a lot of humans. Something that personally warms the cockles of my very human heart.

Embrace your ancestry of murderous (and loving) hominids, and aim to use it to make things better. Rejecting it is a false path.

Actually Zyklon B came out of WWI research, and in the interim it was licensed worldwide for use as a fumigating agent. Including from 1929 onwards in the United States, where it was used by the Public Health Service to fumigate freight trains and clothes of Mexican immigrants entering the country.

I never said Zyklon B was developed during WW2?

My mistake, misread you.
