Don't do this! Mixing bleach & ammonia creates chloroform!

No it doesn't. It produces chloramines which are toxic and explosive.

The thread that will never die.

Chloramines are toxic. They are what the water company puts in your drinking water to kill bacteria.

It is less toxic than chlorine, which the water company used to put in your drinking water. Chlorine is much better at killing bacteria but we use the weaker chloramine instead. The reason is that if there is enough organic material in the drinking water, chlorine reacts to form trihalomethane compounds, which are believed to be cancer causing.

Did you notice we drink both of them?

but only in drinking water. Please don't drink ammonia OR bleach, straight up or mixed.
