Things I learned from this video: 1. Nile's olfactory nerves are apparently degraded from years of inhaling various chemicals he shouldn't. 2. When something says "here's how to make 100g of the worst thing ever", 1/400th of that amount will be fine. 3. Nile can afford to rent AN ISLAND?!
It's hilarious how resistant you are to this stuff. Birds could've been falling from the trees and you'd still be going "it's actually not thaat baad" :D
It’s not that he’s resistant, it’s that he’s probably had lots of close calls with taking random whiffs of acid fumes, and they’ve burned his nostrils, personally I have the same issue, when I was growing up I found a unlabeled jug sitting outside and my childlike curiosity got the better of me, and come to find out it was muriatic acid, I can barely smell unless it’s potent in the air, or it’s a sulfur compound like sulfer dioxide, my sniffer still works good for that in warning me of my inevitable death to get away
The trees start to droop. The birds fall from the sky. Arboreal animals drop. Bugs fall, and terrestrial bugs writhe on the ground. Worms emerge, writhing. Mammals vomit. Turtles drown themselves avoiding the stench. The fish are fine tho. Nile: It’s not so bad.
Remember what he thought about the military-grade dirty toilet malodorant mixture.. He was like, hmm well... While hus co-workers were almost losing their lunch.
Honestly? He could totally have a condition that worsens his sense of smell, and just never realized because people can't really explain to you how strong something smells lol
In my native language, the "smell" and "feel" translates to the same expression. So if I translate it back to english, you can say "Nigel just want to feel something". Kinda funny.
Oh his nose is definitely broken. I bet it's not that uncommon among experimental chemists. He reminds me of a chemistry teacher sub we had at school, who'd destroyed most of his sense of smell. It was worryingly easy to egg him on to use *way* too much ingredients. He also gave us (7th graders) any chemical we wanted to take home, he didn't gaf. Just wanted to do his weird expetiments. He once painted the whole classroom and some of the slower students purple with iodine gas and got a talking to from the principal. The following week we heard a muffled boom from the direction of the class. No one was allowed in to that wing of the building and chemistry classes were canceled for a month. We didn't see him after that.
@@raloniusmaximus Lol, Why woukd your mind go there? Last thing we heard he was back at the uni the school found him from, doing God knows what.

"So, I guess you can call this a success. I made a portable nuclear reactor out of toilet paper, crushed uranium glass, and acetone, buuuuut the yield wasn't quite as expected and it's only about half as energy efficiency as a multi-billion dollar plutonium reactor. I'm, honestly, a bit disappointed, but at least it wasn't a total waste of time since at least I can power my house for a decade, but I'm a bit too lazy to monitor it that often. I'll just put this reactor in a sealed beaker in case I want to do something with it later." - Nigel, 2025
moral of the video is that Nile's sense of smell is a complete enigma to this earth and that he's probably the mad scientist our parents warned us about when we were all kids
I think you mean the mad scientist all those tv shows and movies warned us about when we were all kids, parents were telling us that they DIDN'T exist 🤣
Also, Long Covid is a bitch, speaking from experience. I can no longer smell smoke, detect the acridness of alcohol, or (god help me) my cat's litter box. I can no longer trust my nose to tell me if there's something burning, if that glass on the counter is vodka or water, or if the litter is starting to stink. That last one just means being MORE clean, but the other two are really friggin disturbing. If Nile's suffering from LC, it might drastically change how he's gotta do things in the lab. He might not be able to trust his nose for scents that provide basic, practical input for every day work there.
This terrifies me considering the smell of cyclohexene stuck to my nose for two days and I was nautious that whole night. If cyclohexene can do that to me, I'm pretty sure this would kill me

Reminds me of my old chemistry teacher (a woman with vile violet hair lol). She stuck her nose right into a bottle of bromine and was like ... "yeah, it might be a bit strong". While the whole class was already green in the face, running for cover.
@@Mike-oz4cv I think he was noseblind before covid was a thing as well. I think ive heard its not too uncommon for chemists to become desensitised to smell after a while
Nigel stands in a room full of mustard gas he's created. Paint peels from walls as his cameraman wails in agony, even through his gas mask his eyes and throat burn. Nigel: come on, its not that bad.
He DID just accidentally make and inhale WWI era tear gas and burn his sinuses really badly when trying to make the cherry flavoring from paint thinner. So, pretty on the mark
He holds a vial of neurotoxin vapor to his nose. Everyone in the surrounding province is dead. The cameraman is a smoldering husk on the lab floor. "It's not thaaat baad."
I wonder what NileRed considers smelling "bad" considering how many experiments and tests he's gone through on WEAPONS-GRADE bad-smelling things and declared "It's not that bad :shrug: "
He can visit a college dorm toilet after everyone poops and he goes nah just smells like shit, it’s not really that bad. In the background you hear people vomiting from how gross it was.
I love how he managed to replicate the "crazy XIXc scientist experiment accident" down to a T, except he knew it gets worse downwind and away, while the original guys were just blasting through 100g of Acetone probably going "huh, smelly but also grapey" while the Victorian pedestrians were puking the snot out. PS.: unless I'm recalling wrong, didn't Nile make 0,2g? With supposedly 100g in original event.
"This actually kind of scared me, and I worried the stories might be true and I shouldn't distill it, but there was only one way to find out" A true scientist. Thank you Nile
@tekodoraudor Anyone can claim that. it's proving it as a fact that requires evidence. A claim is literally just that. So I guess in your mind, all married people with children just went to the sperm donor, huh?
Nile is now literally a mad scientist running experiments on a deserted island because they cant be done in populated areas. His super villain arch is complete.
I won't become a chemist through this channel but he HAS helped me understand how some things can simply not be degradable unless chemically processed. And has helped me understand the flow of how to break down the long chemical names which aren't even that bad now that I've heard them firsthand
I find that Nile is very personable in a little bit of an awkward way. He is also very good at explaining and gives a good amount of background knowledge without overexplaining.
WOW, I TOTALLY never got the joke until this point, until YOU @@mallarielove came along and TOLD ME. Thank you for sharing that very helpful information. It is well appreciated 😒🙄😒
Hey Nile, I’m a chemist that works with H2S all the time and it looks like you became nose blind to H2S. It’s really common to become nose blind to H2S really quickly, unlike most stinky chemicals. The only way to tell is like when your brother told you that there is a smell
@@mrpepin let's be real.. he doesn't need to test. It is pretty clear he has some issue smelling stuff. In each video he does about smells you can tell
In small quantities, H2S is VERY detectable (some sources cite 8 ppb as the odour threshold), but in higher concentrations (above 100 ppm), it has an anaesthetic effect on the olfactory system, which is worrisome because at just a bit higher levels than those at which anosmia is induced (500+ ppm), it can be fatal. My high school chemistry teacher put it this way - when you can smell H2S, you're fine...it's when you CAN'T smell it that you're in trouble. So that would suggest that nose-blindness, as it were, is a temporary thing in this case (I know of no research that shows permanence, although exposure to H2S can have other permanent neurological effects), only occurring when there is a serious failure of safety protocols to protect against exposure to high concentrations of H2S. My own experience bears this out. I also worked a lot with H2S in my research days, doing environmental chemistry. Every once in awhile I'd run a process called CRS (chromium-reducible sulphur), wherein chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate (a green chemical) is reduced to chromium (II) chloride tetrahydrate (blue) in a mercury-amalgamated zinc column, and then the chromium (II) is used (with the application of heat) to react with sulphur minerals (particularly pyrite...I was using sediment samples and trying to find the sulphide mineral content therein), resulting in the evolution of H2S gas, which is collected in NaOH traps. The whole system is continuously flushed with nitrogen, to drive the evolved H2S from sealed flasks into the hydroxide traps, and then when the reaction is done, a spectrophotometric technique (Cline's reagent) is used to measure the concentration of sulphide in the trap. A little stoichiometry, and you can calculate how much sulphide minerals (or pyrite-equivalent thereof) were in your sample. When doing this procedure, most of the H2S gets trapped, but because the odour threshold is so low, even a little bit escaping will be noticed. I never became less sensitive to the smell though, even though I rarely ran the reaction in a fume hood, so I was getting exposed to extremely low levels of H2S on a regular basis.
@@CricketEngland This information was already public as he literally just looked up the paper that had the recipe for it. Also I highly doubt anyone is going to make this as it will make their entire house smell awful and it is also dangerous. Plus, this video is almost a year old now and I haven’t heard any news about this shit being used in a public place so yeah.
@@CricketEngland This stuff is not capable of killing someone it just smells really bad lol. I doubt anyone is going to make this stuff either especially when you can just buy fart spray from a store.
@@CricketEnglandit doesn’t matter because the info was already public before he made this video. If someone wanted to make this, they would of a long time ago.
@@CricketEngland This is way too much time and money and dedication for like the average person lol. You need the money for equipment and materials, the time to watch over this for 10-12 hours straight, the chemistry background to make sure you don't just actually d!e in the process, and a large amount to affect a whole lot of people (the incident in germany was like 400x the amount nigel made). It's easier to literally make a bomb or mustard gas if someone rlly wanted to do something LOL
It's because he has almost zero sense of smell that each consecutive stinky chemical gets worse lol. His olfactory senses are only an obstacle he's yet to overcome.
@@Skylancer727 This one's worse. He actually just demonstrated how to use acetone, sulphur, iron and hydrochloric acid into a weapon of mass disruption.
Between this and the USA weapon gas, I think we can safely say Nile is simply resistant to smelly stuff. Having the camera operator and other people immediately go OH EW WHAT IS THAT while Nile is like "It's not that bad!" is the peak of comedy, though.
Every chemist and EMT I know has absolutely broken senses of smell. The EMTs I think is a coinsidence, but the chemists all have burned out their olfactory senses from years of abuse.
I am german and reading the script you've found made me laugh out loud. Just the way they describe such a horrible smell in a scientific manner is hilarious. Great vid tho, totally enjoyed it.
‘We are limiting ourselves providing some of our experiences which only provide rough estimates. Once the freshly prepared reaction product of 100g acetone […] was distilled, the smell spread in a short time to distances of 3/4ths of a kilometer into widely remote parts of the town. Residents of neighboring streets of the laboratory complained, that the smelly substance induced fainting episodes, nausea and vomiting. At a different time an amount of 30g had caused the same commotion as in this mentioned situation. ‘
Yeah, I think exactly the same. My mother was a professor of chemistry in our local university and PhD. She almost couldn't smell anything (except extremely strong smells) and always asked my father or me and my sisters to smell food if it was already spoiled
yes propably. I think I lost a good part of my smell from sniffing on everything. all scientists are curios and do stupid shit. I smell on nearly everything that isnt known to kill me. The acids, bases and other stuff seems to had an effect :). There is also a hugh variance between people in the amount of receptors
They should have brought somebody with a very sensitive nose along, like somebody that makes parfumes or a woman with a very sensitive nose. I assume his cameraman is his friend that has filmed other (smelly) videos as well and thus probably has a bit more tolerance / destroyed nose than the 'average person'. :D
This is the most a Nile Red video has felt like Nile green. Like, renting out an entire island so you can make a smelly weapon? Incredible punchline, great editing

@@nyancat8436 just because they have a better sense of smell doesnt mean they get as disgusted as we do, take as example dogs who have amazing noses and can smell fresh poop directly without bating an eye, even curiously
@@Grim-mler Methionine is an amino acid that contains sulfur. I was taking samples of it just yesterday at work and MY GOD that stench caused me some trauma.

I remember the episode when Nile said brown almonds have no smell at all. (They smell earthy and wooden) Maybe his sense of smell is a little bit less sensitive than most.
Honestly I think this man's nose is broken. Like idk if it's chemical or congenital but after so many things not smelling right to him, that man's nose is broken.
-multiple sources considered it the worst smelling thing of all time -the smell is described as “fearful” and dangerous -nobody is selling it and it hasn’t been made in 60 years Neil: what a bunch of drama queens, I’m gonna make some
I have 20+ years of experience in chemical industry. I used to work with phosgene and other funny chemicals in different chemical plants. Now I work for a company producing pool chemicals. I have practically no sense of smell and I had none for years now.
i have a pretty bad sense of smell and today my science class was putting liquids(teacher wouldn't say what they were) on hotplates and everyone eventually had to leave the room it was so bad but i couldn't even really smell it except for a couple of random moments(bad moments terrible smell) and i simply finished the lab and submitted my work
@@vezzosetto i think it's pretty hilarious in context; seeing a man usually so calm being pushed so close to his limits by games meant to do that exact thing. it's very fun and quite relatable
I’m beginning to think a lack of smell is just a side effect of being a chemist, as I have a very small reaction to stinky things. Most of the time I just shrug and say “it’s not that bad” as others look at me like I grew another head.
Not sure. I'm 4th year chemistry student, and although it's the same story with me and my not related to chemistry friends, other people in the lab where I work quite often complain about the smells (even while standing in an another room) I just don't really feel... Like aldehydes, amines. However it might be some genetics, as my mom and I don't think durian smells any bad, but my father amd brother find it to smell terrible.
@@kurkuma3460 could also generally speaking be that chemists might get some possible nerve damage or damage to sensory receptors such as taste or smell as they over time might inhale small amounts of corrosive chemicals. Reminds me of those ww2 nitroglycerin factory workers that inhaled the stuff 24/7 so that their blood vessels were so dilated that they would get massive whiplash when they took a vacation or something as their dilated blood vessels contracted and they lost consciousness. They needed to whiff the stuff like glue to survive the days without work.
@@kurkuma3460 I seem to be able to smell amines in lower concentrations then some people (about 10/20 people couldn't smell an amine contamination in a solvent that seemed obvious to me), but I don't find them as disagreeable as other people. Sure, it's a bad smell, but It doesn't make me want to leave the room like SO2 does for me. Seems to me that it is not an inability to smell those substances, but something else going on with freaks of nature like us. Edit: I once had to clean out a fridge full of rotten sea food in summer at 40 °C that a wedding party forgot. Worst smell I ever had to deal with, probably because of the biological dimension of the issue. Chemicals never had such an effect on me.
@@oskariKN25 I just made a comment about this- Nile took the vial straight to the nose and that's usually a big NO for exactly that reason... You're "supposed" to 'waft' it towards your nose to make sure you don't insta-fry your sense of smell

@@gluessb You would be surprised how much masters, diplomas, phds and professorships don't safe you from being a bit mad. Making stuff that is notoriously smelly in a wide radius, while you yourself don't have a lot of experience with similiar compounds, is a bit risky and could have gone bad. I'm all for doing it anyway, by the way, but one shouldn't pretend that it is no big deal. I'm doing chemistry in an urban center, you do have to account a bit for not bothering the neighbours. In our case, though, we have much higher emissions from a nearby recycling center, street works and a bread factory.
Nile really read multiple credible sources about the horrors of thioacetone and thought "nah these guys were just weak, I'm built different"
And he was right lol
Yea he is.
I'll admit, when I hear a story about something that smells so bad it cleared out an entire town, part of me wants to know what it smells like.

Honestly? He could totally have a condition that worsens his sense of smell, and just never realized because people can't really explain to you how strong something smells lol

In my native language, the "smell" and "feel" translates to the same expression. So if I translate it back to english, you can say "Nigel just want to feel something". Kinda funny.
i feel like he could breathe 100% conncentration mustard gas and be like: "its not that bad i dont get all the stories about it"
Oh his nose is definitely broken. I bet it's not that uncommon among experimental chemists.
He reminds me of a chemistry teacher sub we had at school, who'd destroyed most of his sense of smell. It was worryingly easy to egg him on to use *way* too much ingredients. He also gave us (7th graders) any chemical we wanted to take home, he didn't gaf. Just wanted to do his weird expetiments.
He once painted the whole classroom and some of the slower students purple with iodine gas and got a talking to from the principal. The following week we heard a muffled boom from the direction of the class. No one was allowed in to that wing of the building and chemistry classes were canceled for a month. We didn't see him after that.

Hey Nile, I’m a chemist that works with H2S all the time and it looks like you became nose blind to H2S. It’s really common to become nose blind to H2S really quickly, unlike most stinky chemicals. The only way to tell is like when your brother told you that there is a smell
L nose sense
This comment needs to be upvoted for Nile to see (and test if he is really nose blind to H2S).
@@KnitBrain or W depends
@@mrpepin let's be real.. he doesn't need to test. It is pretty clear he has some issue smelling stuff. In each video he does about smells you can tell
In small quantities, H2S is VERY detectable (some sources cite 8 ppb as the odour threshold), but in higher concentrations (above 100 ppm), it has an anaesthetic effect on the olfactory system, which is worrisome because at just a bit higher levels than those at which anosmia is induced (500+ ppm), it can be fatal. My high school chemistry teacher put it this way - when you can smell H2S, you're fine...it's when you CAN'T smell it that you're in trouble. So that would suggest that nose-blindness, as it were, is a temporary thing in this case (I know of no research that shows permanence, although exposure to H2S can have other permanent neurological effects), only occurring when there is a serious failure of safety protocols to protect against exposure to high concentrations of H2S.
My own experience bears this out. I also worked a lot with H2S in my research days, doing environmental chemistry. Every once in awhile I'd run a process called CRS (chromium-reducible sulphur), wherein chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate (a green chemical) is reduced to chromium (II) chloride tetrahydrate (blue) in a mercury-amalgamated zinc column, and then the chromium (II) is used (with the application of heat) to react with sulphur minerals (particularly pyrite...I was using sediment samples and trying to find the sulphide mineral content therein), resulting in the evolution of H2S gas, which is collected in NaOH traps. The whole system is continuously flushed with nitrogen, to drive the evolved H2S from sealed flasks into the hydroxide traps, and then when the reaction is done, a spectrophotometric technique (Cline's reagent) is used to measure the concentration of sulphide in the trap. A little stoichiometry, and you can calculate how much sulphide minerals (or pyrite-equivalent thereof) were in your sample. When doing this procedure, most of the H2S gets trapped, but because the odour threshold is so low, even a little bit escaping will be noticed. I never became less sensitive to the smell though, even though I rarely ran the reaction in a fume hood, so I was getting exposed to extremely low levels of H2S on a regular basis.
Remember, this is only 0.25g of this stuff. The people in the experiment made 400 times the amount Nile Red did. It’s insane how potent it is
@@CricketEngland This information was already public as he literally just looked up the paper that had the recipe for it.

Note to cameraman: if Nigel keeps this up, there may very well be a “last” time he ask you smell something

"Yo this smells horrible-" **immediate death**
@@DanIsDistant that’s the video I am waiting on Nigel to make. Not the “how to” but the I am sorry I killed a small town video
this dude can literally be a villain making chemical weapons but he chooses to not
Heating up this buttplug on a private island to get his mad scientist splash potion to finally work 😂

thats every chemist lol

I’m beginning to think a lack of smell is just a side effect of being a chemist, as I have a very small reaction to stinky things. Most of the time I just shrug and say “it’s not that bad” as others look at me like I grew another head.
Not sure. I'm 4th year chemistry student, and although it's the same story with me and my not related to chemistry friends, other people in the lab where I work quite often complain about the smells (even while standing in an another room) I just don't really feel... Like aldehydes, amines. However it might be some genetics, as my mom and I don't think durian smells any bad, but my father amd brother find it to smell terrible.
Did you ever clean fat traps? I just happend to be around once and no pungency will impress me anymore.
@@kurkuma3460 could also generally speaking be that chemists might get some possible nerve damage or damage to sensory receptors such as taste or smell as they over time might inhale small amounts of corrosive chemicals.
Reminds me of those ww2 nitroglycerin factory workers that inhaled the stuff 24/7 so that their blood vessels were so dilated that they would get massive whiplash when they took a vacation or something as their dilated blood vessels contracted and they lost consciousness. They needed to whiff the stuff like glue to survive the days without work.
@@kurkuma3460 I seem to be able to smell amines in lower concentrations then some people (about 10/20 people couldn't smell an amine contamination in a solvent that seemed obvious to me), but I don't find them as disagreeable as other people. Sure, it's a bad smell, but It doesn't make me want to leave the room like SO2 does for me.
Seems to me that it is not an inability to smell those substances, but something else going on with freaks of nature like us.
Edit: I once had to clean out a fridge full of rotten sea food in summer at 40 °C that a wedding party forgot. Worst smell I ever had to deal with, probably because of the biological dimension of the issue. Chemicals never had such an effect on me.
@@oskariKN25 I just made a comment about this- Nile took the vial straight to the nose and that's usually a big NO for exactly that reason... You're "supposed" to 'waft' it towards your nose to make sure you don't insta-fry your sense of smell
What a respectful, responsible and professional chemist. .mad respect
This reads like such a horror story. I love the sheer jankiness of reading a century old google translated chemistry paper written by chemists that caused a disaster doing exactly what you're doing and continuing on despite the warning signs, somehow finishing without disaster, and then renting an island to test out your new bioweapon. I love the work you do and this is truly your first big step to supervillainhood.
A "new bioweapon". 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I'm sure Fauci would find a use for it. Thioacetone could cause chaos in a densely populated city. I can see why someone crazy enough could use it as a bioweapon. The smell would drive people crazy. 👃

"This is the most horrible smelling, dangerous substance ever created.... anyhow, the first step to create it is....." killed me 😂 love you, man. keep it up, and please don't get yourself killed in the process.
I like how you can just see the smile drain from Nile's face when the cameraman tells him he is legitimately on the verge of vomiting. Just goes to prove that Nile really does take this stuff super seriously and is always thinking about safety. Keep up the great work!
If he really would take this seriously he wouldn't do this. But hey, utuber gotta have his views!
@@nom3nnescio It's how experiements work.. you need to test them. What part of literally _renting an island_ to you is not taking it seriously? You're an idiot lmao
@@nom3nnescio bruh he has a master's degree in this shit, pretty sure he knows where to set boundaries
@@nom3nnescio bro left 27 hate comments find something better to do 💀💀💀 grumpy ass
@@gluessb You would be surprised how much masters, diplomas, phds and professorships don't safe you from being a bit mad.
Making stuff that is notoriously smelly in a wide radius, while you yourself don't have a lot of experience with similiar compounds, is a bit risky and could have gone bad.
I'm all for doing it anyway, by the way, but one shouldn't pretend that it is no big deal.
I'm doing chemistry in an urban center, you do have to account a bit for not bothering the neighbours. In our case, though, we have much higher emissions from a nearby recycling center, street works and a bread factory.
This kids such a geek kinda funny hated this in school but I'm actually addicted to his videos keep up the amazing work
