Are you even sciencing if you don’t drink some piss you found in a beaker somewhere?
Well, you could say beer is yeast piss.
I’ll have another (lab brewed yeast piss. From malted grain. Sometimes with hops)
Observation: this looks like piss} Question: is this piss?} Hypothesis: this is probably piss} Experiment: drink the piss} Analysis: tastes like piss} Conclusion: it’s piss
Inconclusive: the data is also a perfect fit for domestic American light beer.
could also check for urea content, or proteins, but sure why not drink it
I mean, drinking it (well tasting) used to be the legit way of testing it.
same thing
Yeah, check for all of that using the high fidelity, self calibrating sensory cluster.
Sometimes it be like that.
How do you know it tastes like piss if you’ve never tasted piss before?
Better piss in a cup and taste it to make sure we get a nice baseline.
Bottoms up
I remember reading about a chemistry teacher found dead one morning. he had a habit of consuming the laboratory’s ethanol after hours, and the night before had accidentally poured himself a glass of methanol
Methanol: not even once
Even if i was modeling I don’t think I could do this.
I’ve done this. Chemistry equipment is good for bongs too.
I themed the wet bar in my basement as a laboratory. There’s a drying rack on the wall that I use to store 15 mL beakers that I use a shot glasses. It’s fun. I’ve also found that a hot plate stirer with a thermometer probe and a vacuum filtration setup makes the best clarified butter easy as a snap!
Whenever I toast with beakers, I yell out “TO SCIENCE!”
Unless you’re drinking port, in which case you legally have to yell “TO INDUSTRY!”
What’s wrong with a little piss chug every here and there? Asking for a friend.
Nothing as long as it’s not out of a beaker :)
Johnny was a chemists son. But Johnny is no more. What Johnny thought was H20, Was H2S04.
Two chemists enter a bar. One orders a glass of H2O. The other chemist says I’ll have a glass of H2O too. He bleached his throat and died.
H20
H2O
H2S04
H2SO4
distilled water, lab grade ethanol, a couple drops of limonene, and there you go
Sadly the Erlenmeyer flask was previously used for some nasty water soluble compounds and just looks clean.
rinse -> acetic acid -> rinse -> Acqua regia-> Rinse -> Pirahna solution -> Rinse -> 500°C oven -> Rinse
I would then drink from it without even worrying
Is NileRed then too cautious when he only uses fresh breakers for stuff he is going to eat?
he’s lucky to have a big enough channel to be able to afford 40000$ NMR machines, so a couple beakers aren’t that much of an expense for much more safety
but as a home chemist, there is NO WAY I’m getting new beakers every time I wanna do edible chem, especially pyrex branded ones like Nile does. Lab equipment, even basic glassware, is ridiculously overpriced
The cost of a fresh beaker is worth mitigating the risk.
This makes me think of NileRed

“And next time, I’ll make baby toys that glow in the dark with Uranium”
