As long as it has a surface to evaporate, it will degenerate.

I didn’t know that before but it appears cyanide does have a half-life that is a fraction of nuclear waste.
That doesn’t make it or the other compounds less dangerous, of course.
They will also want to block people from skipping the ad. So they’ll have to provide timestamps, when skipping should be blocked. Maybe those can be somehow extracted.
The tanks in the pictures don’t match.
Hydrogen cyanide will turn into “cookie dough” in 1-5 years. Which is way shorter than “forever”.
The way you said it in your first comment made it seem longer lasting than radioactive waste. Which it isn’t according to the linked PDF. That is the only point I was trying to make.
