Working in the shithole that is Rochdale Dogdale the other night..( the only place Ive been both mugged & arrested by the police at the same time & witnessed a CRT TV thrown from about the 10 floor of the adjacent flats into the carpark, narrowly missing my vehicle by about 15ftπ±) I saw a pile of those little metal canisters on the verge nr the station front door... Now I might just be a bit behind the times, but what are all these little canisters for? A quick interweb search shows they are used for cream whippers (WTF that is??) I'd assume they are CO2 but not sure what use that'd be for there to be piles of them just left around outside, unless theres been a sudden upsurge in outside trifle making with all the recent hot weather that Im unaware of?? Any ideas?

Nitrous Oxide my dear boy......... LINK
Normal folk's use it as a propellent gas, or at the dentist's.

Novichok. But even Porton Down finds it hard to eradicate cockroaches.

evidence of aliens. they are tiny and cannot breathe earth's atmosphere, these are non-reusable cylinders used with their breathing apparatus.
......................... be afraid, very afraid. I found a box of 200 (most of them clearly not used) discarded on a footpath the other day - some little aliens must have been panicked by a local cat - I hope they made it home safely.

I have a box of these at home.
I use them in my bike pump. one canister blows up a 700cc tyre up to 70psi.
buy as stumpy says they are the new high.
went into a former ammo dump near bathhampton and it was a sea of them.

You can spot indulgers, they look like a cross between a drunk looking for a hedge to fall in and a zombie. Gawd knows what the attraction is. It's the new glue sniffing, though not exactly new. Last time I went to Strawberry fair in Cambridge 15 years ago, by the evening it was hard to walk anywhere on the huge common without stepping on a handfull and going arse over tit. Literally thousands and thousands of them, the makers must be coining it.

Perhaps the world they are inheriting doesn't look so great. Low paid work, high living costs, lack of job or accomodation security. Even if you're bright and invent something it'll be pirated before you make any money. The road to a comfortable life gets ever narrower.

If they choose to deal with life that way well, what use do they provide to society? πΊ

Never tried it but maybe it's an equivalent to getting pissed instantly, the sobering up fairly quickly. That's what they look like - blotto!

Sad thing is that sale of these was "banned" under the psychoactive substances act 2016.
Joke. So you are not allowed to sell it knowing people are abusing it. So what you get is scum catering companies buying it up "yes we whip a lot of cream" and selling it to the kids for profit.
We get a lot of it in the east London slums. Millions of canisters removed by the council every month. And the balloon makers are coining it too

It's not a new thing, we briefly experimented with nitrous oxide in the early 1980s, you could buy it from Timothy Whites.

It may seem to be an odd indicator but when I used to spend a lot of time chucking a stupidly powerful magnet in the water about 10 years ago I never found any of these bottles. Since then I've done less magging in general due to children issues but lately despite less hours I have found quite a lot of these bottles in the water including places like the river Wey which is not an inner city slum area. I found some at New Haw lock. Shocking. Its definitely got more popular. A bit of a laugh. Say NO to drugs innit.
