    For this video, I attempt to turn toxic and nasty paint thinner into some beautiful and amazing tasting cherry soda. If I am successful, I can add it to my soda collection, along with my plastic glove grape soda!

      I mean truthfully everything in existence in relativity is close to being the same thing. The atomic structure of 78 protons gives you platinum. Add one more and now it's suddenly friggin gold. Suppose gold is "terrifyingly close" to platinum then right? Everything is just one proton, atom, or chemical link away from being somethjng completely different.

      Cave Johnson: "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Aperture Science, where we turn nightmares into reality and dreams into lawsuits! Now, let me tell you something, folks. We're always pushing the boundaries of science, exploring the unexplored, and exploiting the exploited! And today, I've got a little proposition for you all that'll make your eyes water - and not just from the tear gas!"
      Cave Johnson: "You see, we've been making strides in non-lethal crowd control technology, because apparently, just shooting folks with bullets is 'inhumane' or some nonsense like that. So, what do we do? We get creative! We think outside the box, or in our case, outside the cube! Introducing... Cherry Flavored Tear Gas!"
      (He gestures dramatically to a slide showing a cherry-shaped tear gas canister.)
      Cave Johnson: "That's right, folks. Picture this: you're at a protest, the tension is high, the air is thick with dissent, and suddenly, the authorities unleash a cloud of our patented Cherry Flavored Tear Gas! Not only does it incapacitate you, but it also leaves you with a delightful aftertaste! And who doesn't love cherries, right?"
      (He pauses, waiting for applause that doesn't come.)
      Cave Johnson: "But wait, there's more! We've even developed different flavors to cater to everyone's tastes! How about blueberry for the pacifists, or maybe habanero for those spicy revolutionaries? The possibilities are endless, folks!"
      (He leans in closer to the audience, his tone conspiratorial.)
      Cave Johnson: "Now, I know what you're thinking - 'Cave, isn't tear gas already controversial?' And to that, I say, 'Bah! Controversy is just another word for publicity!' Trust me, folks, once we start marketing this stuff, people will be lining up to get a taste - literally!"
      (He straightens up, his enthusiasm infectious.)
      Cave Johnson: "So, who's with me? Who's ready to revolutionize riot control and make a mint while doing it? Remember, at Aperture Science, the only limit is your imagination - and maybe a few pesky ethics committees, but we'll worry about those later! Thank you, and let's make tear gas great again!"
      (He exits the stage to a mix of confused murmurs and hesitant applause, leaving the audience wondering if they should be excited or deeply concerned.)

    I love these videos to either sleep to, or do something simple like crochet. Your voice is soothing, what you’re talking about is interesting but not high energy or too interesting that I have to look at the screen often…and I’m also learning how to do weird chemical shit that I’ll never personally do but that’s not the point. I love that you also put all your failed attempts in there, and how you continued from there. My science teacher said that if you always 100% something, you’ve never learnt anything, and it’s one of the truest things…failing shows you’re challenging yourself. I hope you’re having a good day and that you have fun evading the government while ordering a bunch of HCL and drain cleaner each month, along with many different restricted chemicals.

    • @Nitidus
      @Nitidus 8 місяців тому +94

      "Theoretically safe" is also a very relative term because the theory your work is based on might be more or less reliable as the papers in the end were still written by humans. Also, you thinking you did everything correctly doesn't mean you actually did. So "theoretically safe" assumes a perfect theory and practice without any mistakes, in which case it would indeed be completely safe. That's why you double and triple check absolutely everything if you're doing something potentially harmful or dangerous. Even if you get the reaction right, just a little bit of side product that didn't get washed out can seriously harm you, depending on what it is.
      But hey, that's why papers are published and why science has to be reproducible. The community can check your process and everything and correct any mistakes. The more brains there are that think about your ideas and practices, the closer we get from "theoretically safe" to "actually safe."
