Have you ever heard of Tofu buildings? A bunch of Chinese construction companies have been using unwashed beach sand in their concrete. This means there’s salt in the concrete.

The US went through a phase like that from about 1607 until we all died in nuclear hellfire during the Able Archer exercises in 1983.
