So a crackhead, a chemist, and a drug dealer all walk into a bar. He sits down and orders a drink.

Regolith 引きこもり he is both lol

@Eli Rinehart That doesn't mean he can be perfect at it, He knows the idea but not the practice. they don't teach shit like how to do bizzare stuff that's for funzies. He is all on his own.

@Eli Rinehart im fairly sure he actually dropped out to do youtube full time, so the initial comment is pretty accurate, he half knows what he's doing.

@@neobuddy2010 what i understand is that he has an undergraduate degree in chemistry & then half a masters in it too

He has an idea of what he's doing he just does bizarre things lol like who does this or makes alcohol out of toilet paper

the nilered charm

Sweet!!! That’s really great to hear. This is exactly why folks like Nigel produce things like this. I’m a chemist and has an amazing awesome HS chemistry teacher who is precisely the reason why I’m a chemist. He let me (and the few other nerds/geeks) play in the labs and just learn as much as I wanted.

It's mind blowing how much influence a small video can have on someone's future. In my case, Channels like Nigel's are the reason I kept being interested in science and more importantly biochemistry. I never thought I had it in me but fast forward 4 years, I'm now one of the top students in my classes and even got offered some paid internships at my local research labs. Again I never even thought I'd understand anything but his videos (especially the one where he explained crystallisation) kept my curiosity going. Here I am, on my way to *hopefully* open my own lab.

It's pretty strange that you took the time to write all that, yet couldn't bring yourself to write 'your' and 'you're.'

​@@the_rune_raven2253 You realize that 20000-20000 would be equivalent to 20-20? All you're literally saying is, "Foresight is like looking at something 20000 ft away and seeing as if it were 20000 ft away, but hindsight is seeing something 20 ft away and seeing it as if it were 20 ft away."

300 is blind I believe.

@@the_rune_raven2253 so then you say 20 - 20,000. (which means that you see as clearly at 20 feet as most people see at 20k feet)

@@the_rune_raven2253, I have never heard of anyone with 20/23 vision needing glasses. That's almost perfect. It's when you get to 20/30 or 20/40 that you start having problems.

@@rawr6306 Im not Canadian, but my partner is, too! XD Shoppers is one of my go-to stores 😂

Actually that’s precisely why I went into chemistry instead of biology! My HS chemistry prof was fantastic and actually let us play. Guided us in not completely destroying his classroom/labs but we still burned and melted a fuckton of stuff. He was tough, critical but knew how to push and challenge us. I know I’ll sound bitter a bit but sadly this sort of literal experimentation just isn’t allowed (liability mostly) any more and it’s made chemistry [wet at least] a lot less interesting. It’s like dissection in biology. I was dissecting fetal pigs and cats, pithing frogs and watching their hearts beat, hooking up gastrocnemius muscles to drum oscillographs and shocking them with different voltages to determine the most efficient and so much more in my 7th (yes SEVENTH) grade biology science lab (it was HS Advanced Placement level). This just doesn’t happen in scene classes today. I absolutely know and so appreciate the invaluable level of education I received. If only that was still happening…

It's normal, what?

The power of being a scientist. When you use and study these things a million times, it’s pretty easy.

Chemist learned parseltongue before they graduated, just like how doctor able to make runic inscription.

Crazy that suicides go down when pharma companies make it a pain in the ass to OD, I would say it’s funny but in reality it’s kinda sad

@@Bro1212_ This usually works because suicide is a quicky thought, you don't plan ir and anything, so when the method you was going to use takes more time, it's enough for the suicidal ideation to simply go away. That's why it's also recommended, if you have guns, to live the ammunition and the gun in different rooms. This little time of complicating the suicide method can be enough to make the person stop themselves.

@@lordarthur2165 thats simply not true. Suicide is often planned rather then an "impulse".

Bet you wont drink 5 gallons of pure distilled water

@@andrewwilkerson8186 i wouldn't drink 5 gallons of normal water lol

@@andrewwilkerson8186 I drink about a gallon of distilled water a day because of old pipes in our house and the local spring water tastes bitter. It's not dangerous in any way as long as you maintain a healthy diet seeing as you get more electrolytes from food than water anyway. It may have a slightly easier time penetrating and over-hydrating cells but the journey to the stomach where it then mixes with acid and food is a short one and after mixing it's no longer an over-hydration risk.

@@aeviwright7846 about the same here. Just that our pipes are fresh as we renewed them a few years ago, i just like the "taste" of distilled water.

You should see the chemists that are also rocket scientists. "There are, after all, some chemicals that explode shatteringly, some that flame ravenously, some that corrode hellishly, some that poison sneakily, and some that stink stenchily. As far as I know, though, only liquid rocket fuels have all these delightful properties combined into one delectable whole." Isaac Asimov, Foreword to _Ignition!_ by John D. Clark (Which you should totally read. It helps if you know chemistry but there are sections that you don't need to know much chemistry to follow along.)

yeah what they said, mixing 2 clear liquids you can see a clear separation. Take acetone and hexane for example in an extraction, it looks like a surface of water that separates the two miscible layers.

The mixture actually looks a bit yellow after the mixing

Go back and look at the bottom of the container when he first starts pouring the acid in and you can see the "ripples". They slowly go away as he adds more and then all together when it was stirred.

William Partridge deep... very deep.......

I think the most amazing scientific example is right there: 23 minutes of a video which are small cuts of hours of work, showing step by step of what not to do because of these reasons. Even negative findings are useful. Still, it looks pretty damn advanced, but that's the purest form of chemistry. Imo tho. Every science can be difficult, but difficult is only a way of thinking more. Its trial and error - getting data and converting it into context. Maybe, one person will see this and say: I'll try this tomorrow - maybe I can find a way. As much more numbers we get, more chances of this video having a solution.

@@OhLonesomeMe not as deep as your dad was

Yep. That cadence. Every sentence is a journey; towards some wacky science...

I'd never thought about it that way... It would explain why I really enjoy a number of educational and maker channels - there's a story with each video, and a driven and enthusiastic narrator.
