If you can’t have actual consequences for terrible people, Schadenfreude is an acceptable substitute.

Technically resurrection is a necromancy spell, but usually only clerics can learn it, so an academic necromancer would only be able to create undead unless they were ordained as well.

I just remember stories of needing something like five injections, in your stomach, and it was terrifying to child me.

Hey Sulfuric acid is still mostly water by volume, right? So how bad could it be? (I do not remember enough chemistry to actually calculate the relative volumes of components of a solution to know if this is even technically accurate)

"Stop dehumanizing my friends and family and let them pee and play sports and go to college in peace" is not a "purity test" anymore than "Stop actively throwing puppies in the volcano" would be. It's a basic morality test that the majority of the Democratic Party is failing.
