    This chemical is actually pretty interesting as it was used as an Anal Lubricant in cuba back in the 60s, its extracted using local fruits commonly harvested using government funded slave labor. When used improperly or taken orally it has the capacity to invert the polarity in your frontal cortex. This can in most cases, cause a slight but permanent buzzing noise in one's right ear (depends which hand the subject is dominant with), but in some cases can cause immediate collapse of both lungs upon consuming shellfish with no known treatment. This is definitely a High A tier or possibly a low S tier due to the difficulty in finding the fruits to extract this chemical.

    Best moments of this channel: inventing and perfecting chemistry tier lists, your IOC playlist, and of all the videos between Chempilations and in-depth, usually one molecule in focus, videos, your carrot video.
    I am a delivery driver so I have my phone on a cupholder and I glance at the video (your zooms into the molecules on this video were fantastic).
    Other than those, I guess I can embarrass myself and make "suggestions" for the channel:
    In IOC 1 you mentioned how "you may want to know about the chemicals in a shampoo bottle." If you were to make videos explaining how each component (of anything, from what the masses use between waking up and going to bed any day) works in our everyday life, and maybe even our biology, I would just eat it up. It's all a mystery to me, and I refuse to say I know much anything until I can get to the nitty-gritty of it (I really am the dumb guy who would ask "is the 16.31 degree arc between the Nitrogen and Sulfur in birth-control key to its A, B, or C properties?" You know, stuff that no one asks really. And while the last thing you need is a sub 1000 view video, the fact you already can spit knowledge and get 10,000s of views or more is like a sign of the times.
    Last uncalled for ask is.... I have a strong interest in metals. Maybe its having listened to 1000s of metal records, but the stuff that goes on in f-orbitals is very intriguing to me. Even if 99.9% of all the studies you have ever read were Organic Chem, your comments in passing on more metallurgic chemistry would be gold to me. There may be other inorganic chem channels out there, but what you got going on in terms of passion, formatting, and thorough explanations is second to none. Best science RUclips channel I have ever come across.
    Also it would be surreal if you somehow collaborated with Ninja Nerd for any reason. People's brains would melt from all the drip going on.

    Loved the tierlist, pretty cursed. However what I like the most is the use of the eye cleaning faucet (forgot the name! Sorry) to convey that these chemicals are so cursed you need some powerful eye bleach, not literally.
    You know, you take some "unsee juice" and pour it right in.
    Now, whether or not that is the right way to operate that piece of safety equipment, it is still hilarious 👀
    Please keep up the good work.
    Edit: Along with the neurotransmitters tierlist I have suggested a while back, I think it would be interested to see a hormone tierlist as well... I understand if it's too much biochemistry though (and there are just too many compounds to choose from!), I just find these topics interesting honestly 😅
    And I am aware I'm not really paying for any of these, so please do not misunderstand my comments as if I was demanding free content 🙁 I'd love to help financially someday though

    It's just...FOOF...what else is there to say?
    One of my favorite things from the channel and absolutely deserves a spot in a highlight reel lmao
    Another idea would be to take the audio clips from every time you've said "fwoomp" and chain them together lol
    Also I'd like to mention that while I've always been very interested in science in general, it's been a long time since I paid much attention to chemistry specifically. I'm not super optimistic about ever getting myself to actually go to school for any scientific discipline, and between one or two learning disabilities and comically bad ADHD trying to learn anything at all on my own is a nightmare at best, but since your channel randomly appeared in my recommended for no good reason about a week ago I've been wishing I would get into science a bit more.
    I don't really even have that much of a basic understanding of what all you're talking about (I went to a very small private school my whole life until 11th grade and what little money the school had was mostly focused on arts-related stuff; I would've loved the opportunity to do more work with sciences but I am very grateful for the education that school gave me), but watching your videos honestly leaves me a lot more wishing I would go learn more about chemistry than feeling confused, and all the anecdotes from you and the people in comments sections and your discord about the stupid, hilarious, and dangerous things they've experienced or heard about really make me want to be a part of that lol

    @ThomasLectka-gp2tw Год назад +2

    Very amusing, thank you for the lofty molecule ranking and the character sketch. Incidentally, if you hold the wine glass by its base or stem, the contents stay chilled longer. Scientific clarification - if fluoronium is 'hype,' then so is ammonium, oxonium, and many chloroniums, all of which may calculate as a partial negative. In fact, the F in C-F-C moves in a strong positive direction vis-a-vis C-F, although most charge schema (but not all) show it as a slight partial negative. The F also in no sense moves back and forth as in a classical ion.
    My feeling is that if you go through the intense effort to make it, you enjoy the honor of naming it, all the better when it exactly corresponds to IUPAC conventions. The others had 100 years to make it and they didn't, even though they wanted to. Had they made it they could have called it Puddentane for all anyone cares, as arguments about nomenclature are otherwise tedious. In any case, the overwhelming majority of chemists see it for what it is - a fluoronium ion.
    Incidentally, nobody ever interrupted my talks, ever, and I am not sure where you heard that as you surely did not see it. They would not have dared, with their missing middle fingers as one commenter noted!

    Hey Joey, thank you for your great channel, I really enjoy your content, especially the Amino acid tasting 😄
    I would like to share a story too:
    I´m a Biochemist at a university in Germany and I’m working in a group with 30-40 other people.
    Nothing noteworthy happened with my students so far, so nothing hilarious from my side.
    My Colleque, that works in our synthesis lab, however had a student recently that put him through a lot of stress. He routinely managed to spill his reaction products, cut himself and was generally not the sharpest tool in the shed apparently.
    In his last week in our department he came to my colleque and told him that he spilled “a little bit” of solvent in our solvent storage room and he doesn’t know what to do.
    My colleque, nice as he is, went over to clean his mess but when he opened the door he got smacked in the face from cloud far worse then what he has expected.
    Looking on the floor he searched the puddle that the student left but found nothing.
    He was very puzzled about the missing puddle while the smell was so horrific, when he noticed that the student left a pool of ethyl acetate approximately 2-3 cm deep on one of the metal transport cart that is 40 x 80 cm.
    We both don’t know how he managed that but we cracked up about the gross understatement from the student and since then “a little bit” is a euphemism for chaos

    I work on the first compound! Well, a relative of it. The sunflower family (Asteraceae) is rich in polyacetylene compounds, including thiophenes and thiarubrines (and thioethanones, etc.). I work on thiophene biosynthesis-- very interesting how the polyacetylene scaffold is formed, cyclized into 1 to 3 thiophene rings, and then tailored to become more polar. Check out Konovalov's 2014 review!

    hmmm as a biologist specializing in organic toxins I dont know why I only found this channel only know. Love it. Maybe other toxin enthusiasts can help me, years ago i found my favorite toxin but i forgot its name. Its synthesised by a australian snake and depending on the place of injection, it neurotoxin kills in less than 30minutes. NHow heres the fun. apparently it also induces the relaase of serotonin, with dopamine and ofcourse adrenaline. So those last 30 minutes will be the best of your life. Maybe somebody random knows either the snake of the toxin preferable the snake since venoms tend to be cocktails of compounds working together, not just 1 chemical.

    Maybe not something to put into the highlights, but the immensely sad story from a couple months ago deserves a revisit. I'm not exactly sure how it could be, maybe just a repost as a PSA story time, or something? Idk, it needs to be tasteful though.
    It's nice to have a bit of emotional interjection between the "ooos," "ahhhs," and "oh mys." I remember listening to it and nearly breaking down with you as you read it. It's a story that's stuck with me, as I'm sure its has with others. And maybe the story can reach someone that needs to hear it.

    I love the molecule diacetylcyanide, as not only it is one of the most interesting molecules because it can participate in any reaction or it can be a solvent.
    The best part is that it is both symmetric, and it is also a chirality molecule. I don’t know if it’s spelt it properly but I meant that the mirror image is it’s on your image so using this molecule, one could make both left-handed and right handed molecules.
    For example, you could make dextromethorphan, and levrorphan.
    Or just leverphan and Narcan a.k.a. Nalaxone.
