Hey, NileRed is doing the uncelebrated backbone of science: replicating published work. And then he just yeets it up onto CZcams, well communicated, where anyone can reference it. He's tearing down the science paywall and advancing the dissemination of knowledge. It's brilliant.
I'd like to see him replicate NurdRage's elemental sodium synthesis.
Haven't heard of nurdrage for so long
@@Avendesora how?
I didn’t think about this aspect! It’s so true!
The average sciebtist is like specialised like a hammer or screwdriver but Nilered is like a swiss knife
The whole "making the chemistry look too clean" bit is why I love explosions and fire's side channel, where everything looks appropriately messy and disgusting and you can always see dirty glassware on the background just like a real lab
its like the order of things inside the caos lol
Hell yeah would love to see Explosions and fire on here
NileBlue as well lol
I mean to be fair, a “real lab” looks very clean most of the time. It’s just during the experimentation where it can get a bit messy. Even then, proper safety is to keep it clean
Styropyro
"I spilled some acid on my arm but i didn't want to ruin the shot so i just continued. The video was never posted."
A tragedy in two sentences
For video, acid burn, not posted
NileRed is the “I haven’t died yet so let’s keep going” for chemistry
He deserves a Marie Curie Prize!
the fear of chemicals is weird and exactly like nilered said it, for example the first time i did a distilation of toluene i was super scared for all the stories i heard about it that i was like a hawk looking it go for like 1 hour to make sure nothing was going to escape, and that's why you need to build confidence but not get cocky.
yeah true!! The first times I was in a lab too, I thought everything was going to explode. After a while you know, what's kinda dangerous and what isn't and you're mostly relaxed.
Anyone ever heard of what happened to chemistry professor, Karen Wetterhahn? It was national news. Dartmouth (big ivy league school), 1997. An experiment w/ Dimethylmercury (Hg(CH3)2): A few tiny droplets touched her glove, and she took it off after a few minutes. All good, right? Her body fell apart within a year, slowly died over months of various neurological symptoms. Turns out, she had *thousands of times more mercury* in her blood than an avg person. Eventually she was taken off of life-support. She technically followed all the correct equipment procedures, too (at the time), fume hood and everything.
I think it's fine to get comfortable in a lab, but there's always that small handful of chemicals that I want to be just an eensy tiny bit paranoid around, even if I'm technically following all the "correct procedures".
confidence is slow and insidious killer tho
@@brambl3014 that's something you must remind yourself, preferably prompted by a deep, succulent voice
@@BreakdancePeach i think 'familiarity' is the right word. Those working in the lab gains familiarity to the chemicals and how to handle them properly. Prevents us from being too scared of every chemical.
I love the juxtaposition of Nile's intellect and the wall of degeneracy behind him.
Anime figurines?
@@FallingStary there's anime figurines and then there's this
@@FallingStary Yes, that is degenerate.
bromine YO! its hyped up!
Ah yes the good ol' anime figurines = degeneracy take
As a biochemistry college prof I can say that I would love it if students cared as much about knowing shit about what they work with like nilered. The number of times I have to call out a student for not following basic safety protocols is maddening (ie. not handling hydrochloric acid with gloves)
Darwinism at work my friend.
Why, would you ever not wear gloves? They’ll figure it out I guess
I love the smell of hydrochloric acid. Smells clean like a pool but it has a bite to it when you inhale.
Let em find out themselves. Their own fault for not following a clear as day rule
Man, I didn't even bother getting on the classmates in my lab group because they didn't care about doing the experiment either. Only cared about the grade. Worked for me though, one guy wrote up all the reports as his share of the work. I got to do all the fun stuff!
I've had minor "burns" with sodium hydroxide and peracetic acid, and recently had a skin graft because of near boiling water on my foot. People I spoke to about it were super fearful of burns, but don't attribute the risk between chemicals and just hot water equally, even though they're both dangerous.
Years ago in chemistry, boiling water was always the most dangerous substance in the room, always.
@@mallardofmodernia8092 unless you had something like boiling iron. Heat adds danger no matter the chemical!
@@Gr3nadgr3gory ah but people are so comfortable with hot water from making coffee or tea all their life they never pay their safety with it any mind.
You tell somebody they have boiling acid they might take more care with it.
Tell them they have boiling water and its just another tuesday morning in their kitchen to them. Its the perceived lack of danger when handling hot water that makes it especially dangerous.
@@mallardofmodernia8092 just tell them it's dihydrogen monoxide. They'll be more careful.
@@Gr3nadgr3gory we should ban dihydrogen monoxide. 100% of people who drink it DIE.
(Satire, obv)
When he asked how professional NileRed is, I had flashbacks of him throwing things at the walls and floors.
I highly recommand watching the whole podcast, Nigel's wild shenanigans as a child are hilarious
literally i was gasping whole vid
Everyones shocked faces within the vid mirrored mine. Every 2 to 5 min lol.
What episode number is it?
I couldn't tolerate the needless interruptions for an entire podcast episode
@@mastod0n1yep, that's trash taste for ya
I never considered that Nile would have to choreograph his videos to make them look as smooth as they turn out.
Also I _never_ expected to see a NileRed/Trash Taste crossover
ikr when i first saw the video i look at it like 4 times and i still cannot belive it lmao
I never expected to see NileRed again, tbh. He rarely posts a video on CZcams anymore except for shorts
Same
Nigel is a perfectionist and I'm here for it
As the saying goes: "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"
Learning something in one area often translates to others. Becoming proficient in both ensures you know when it doesn't.
@@Gr3nadgr3gory Indeed
Probably really off topic, but this quote perfectly fits the F-35
@@Tigershark_3082 indeed it is but I'm Interested in how it relates to the F-35 what plane was that?
@@Gr3nadgr3gory Its the new high tech plane the us has and is selling to all of its allies. Its technological capabilities are incredible but it had a few growing pains early in its development and deployment. Despite being the current standard for modern warfare technologies like data link and targeting, some people still think that its a useless plane because it isn't fast "enough" and doesn't turn like a dedicated dogfighting plane like the F-16.
It has a never ending list of abilities but because it cant do one thing people think that it sucks, hence the accuracy of the saying.
@@spider_sf Damn, you practically took the words from my mouth, so thank you
They keep trying to make jokes but hes so serious about what hes saying he just doesn't even react lmao i love it
Trying my best to endure the interruptions because Nile is so interesting lol
For real... they finish his answers for him on nearly every question
Yeah their giggles annoying
Congrats, you've discovered the difference between a podcast and an interview
It seems like they have no clue when to react in which intensity to what he’s saying. They’re very out of their depth here.
Nigel is an expert in methodology rather than any specific chemistry I would say
Ngl, love that for him. I always check out some of his videos when I want a bit more confidence in lab scale synthesis
Yeah, I think if he had time to boil his answer down to a conclusion when he was asked about what might be something that made him stand out, it's probably the fact that he can get a precise process down for any sort of task that he needs to complete.
Sure, the things that he accommodates in order to get a better shot for video might not be all too relevant to other chemists, but in a sense, to go through all the rigor and practice of getting a good shot, making sure the result is of high quality, and all other things: you'd have to end up having made a pretty tight process of making that chemical or doing that project by the end of it all, which is quite commendable. Now that he's done loads of projects for his CZcams, you can imagine just how fast he is now at developing that controlled and tight process, even if the projects themselves take quite a long time.
Listening to him talk normally and realizing that's how he normally talk as well in his videos makes me think this guy'd be a great teacher. Just really catches my attention with the tone, speed, diction
Jesus Nile, that SMILE has a type of acid on it because it's melting me
One of my midschool chemistry exam (in our system of education you have a big midschool and a big highschool exam) questions was qualitative reactions. The question was essentially to identify three substances in front of you. They are all very basic inorganic substances, you tended to get one acid, one base and one amphoteric. You determine the compond by it's description and odor, test for acidity, then develop a qualitive reaction that tells you what exactly is it. My acid in the test was concentrated sulfuric, and mid reaction I spilled a buch of it on my hand. That was the quickest fucking glove drop of my life.
In high school, we had a Science Olympiad competition which involved identifying three unknown compounds. We knew it was a choice between sugar, salt, and magnesium sulfate, but we didn’t want to spend the time doing actual chemical reactions to figure it out (time was a factor in your score). My friend looked around the room to make sure no one was looking and quickly popped some of the mysterious white crystals into his mouth. We ended up winning!
@@nathandavis5021 Could have just taken a flame to them, but hey, if it works it works.
This reminds me of the last exam for our lab class. There are like 10 different compounds and you’re given 2 at random in a small vial. It isn’t even pure, so you got to purify it your self. You were given just enough to test a couple different solvents for an attempt at recrystallization and vacuum filtration. Then you were also given access to machine that tests melting point (basically a slow heating hot plate and thin tube for sample), a machine that looks for H-C bonds, and a third machine that looks for C-C bonds. From all this, you had to guess the structure of the samples you were given. If you’re sample wasn’t pure enough, then you were pretty much screwed since it would make reading your graphs difficult. Only hint we were allowed, was if our sample’s melting temp was correct, which would tell us how pure it was. There was a pretty big range between the chemicals. Could have been anywhere from 80c to nearly 200c.
Nile makes chemistry seem so accessible and DIYable, which is a scary concept. I mean bags of nuts have warnings about nutty contents for a reason.
It is accessible as long as you have the intelligence to understand it and the capital to obtain materials and equipment.
Accessible and DIEable
There a save way to do these things but it's always important to know what your capability and knowledge is.
It's like going hiking. There's plenty of trails for beginners (in chem things like making a potato battery, growing crystals) but when you start climbing mount everest as a beginner (aka making bromine or destilling sulfuric acid) you're bound to get hurt.
I think it's important to realize that chemicals aren't a uncontrollably dangerous thing. You're probably more likely to get hurt handling boiling water than any common acid or base at room temperature. That doesn't mean it's not dangerous but people should be aware of dangerous be they shouldn't be fearful.
Maybe I need to clarify 😅 I'm not saying chemistry is inaccessible, but what I'm saying is, he gives off building a nuclear reactor in your shed using only radium paint collected from old watches while cleaning your dinner plates with high pressure fluoroantimonic acid vibes. Yes there are 100s of years of safety notes chemists live my now, there are procedures for everything. I know Nile is safe, but dont forget this is the same Nile that has been known to taste the stuff he makes 😭🤣
California Prop 65?
That attitude about getting burned for the shot shows up a lot in welding sometimes. Sometimes your hand is on fire but you can't stop because the weld is just too good
I went to school with welders. Everytime we went on a field trip, I would hear something along the lines of "Hey Chief, look at these welds" "wow, those are pretty great"
Seriously, I burn my hand all the time because I just don't want to stop my weld to cool off when I could finish it instead. Higher quality, looks better, I'm happier with it, my hand isn't though
I think my pinky has some permanent scarring because I've been victim of the "just one more inch to finish the joint" mindset
virgin self preservation vs chad "only half the weld left"
@@purplegoopguy this especially applies when it's half of a two foot long weld
damn this is a good interview. cool to see nile explain stuff i never knew i wanted to know. good questions fellas
You guys should invite Explosions&Fire in one of these days! He's another chemist, about as insane as Nile and just as funny.
Yeah I love Nile and his content but holy shit E&F just exudes this kinda nervous funny energy that I relate too much to.
Styropyro would be a fun guy to have on
Cody'sLab is another one, he also like use TNT and mine.
Thank you for mentioning Exposions and Fire, Id never heard of the channel and its fucking awesome. Binging his stuff now.
THANKS
Technically E&F is a physicists
This TrashRed episode is so good!
Niletakes?
“a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” Nile Red
One of the main things I always have on my mind is how you need to develop confidence to work with somethings properly but at the same time not too much you start treating dangerous stuff without respect
I apply this to pretty much everything in life. I learned it in a motorcycle course.
These guys really need to ask more questions and listen more... I came here to listen to Nile talk and not hear them laugh at everything he says and just cutting him off
Connor's body language is so unusual. I think he is fangirling in front of Nile 👀👀👀
Shit, I'm over here blushing behind the screen
NileGreen is getting good with his animations
Without context the thumbnail looks like Nile made lean before
Knowing him, he prob did
He had to ask the government again
im an electrician and i can fucking relate to this its like the new guy when its his 1. time working with live wires. Its initially terrifying but its a part of the job and you eventually just get used to it and learn how to treat it to like not die or get hurt
Can they get NileGreen on too?
This has to be one of the best episodes of the podcast yet, just incredible. This guy was honestly like a Joe Rogan level guest, I wonder if they're gonna manage to get like Veritasium and people like that in the future
Tbh veritasium tows the line of pretty science commentary. He gets a good amount right, but he gets a few things wrong. There are some channels (some science and some tea channels) that have made videos about him
Also he tends to be presenting things and not doing it himself; not really the same as nilered
nahhhhhh, veritasium isn't even close, he's like a popularizer, not really an actual expert
Veritassium hasn't been that appealing to me for a while, I really liked his popular misconceptions videos where he'd quiz random people on counter intuitive everyday stuff, not so much the sponsored theatrical vulgarisation of expert topics
Wish they'd let him answer the damn questions without interrupting so much. Kinda annoying
Hearing Nigel talking about Ferrofluids will never not make me smile after that time I saw him geek out about what was his most recent batch with Justin from Thought Emporium.
The sitting there and letting it burn part is actually really common in welding. Like molten steel falls in your boot and you just ride it out while you keep welding.
🤔
I can relate to that as a machinist getting hit with hot chips.
@@marcusrauch4223 Lol, hot chips are worse occasionally but one fat glob of steel pops off into your boot and you're tucking your jeans over the cuffs for the rest of your life. I like machining more though lol, was taught CNC but only use it for 3d printing now.
I think being afraid of working with a chemical is probably a really difficult fear to conquer. Because when you're scared of the dark or something, you know that it's an irrational fear, so you can work through it. But chemicals are, like, the *most rational* fear lol.
Why? Everything is a chemical. I use bleach concentrate and industrial sanitizers daily for my job. Why be afraid? Know the risks and don't do anything stupid.
This reminded me of the Chubbyemu video where a scientist spilled dimethylmercury on her hand. She was wearing the wrong type of gloves and they provided little to no protection. I'd have a hard time staying calm doing many things he does.
Our rowing club got permission to keep our rowing boats in the old school's warehouse. During clean-up, we found a lot of glass ampoules with bromine, so as most bright-minded teens, we decided to throw them on the wet road... The road was full of dark red mist. The next day, we told about our adventure to the chemistry teacher, and she was in shock :D
Fuck me, THAT IS HIS LIKE NORMAL VOICE??? He speaks as if hes always narrating wtfffff
I've been a huge Nile fan for years. Recently found the Trash Talk guys this year.
I'm hyped to watch the full thing.
What Nile says about general vs specific knowledge in his field applies to almost every field. So many people are hyper-specialized and it makes it hard for them to adapt to new tools/environments/methods. The ability to quickly adapt (ie. make shit up on the fly) is honestly one of the most value skills.
I like how he's made chemistry a kind of extreme sport. Sounds like a rush to synthesize dangerous compounds.
Dropping acid hits differently if you’re a chemist
Dropping water into acid definitely hits different as a chemist too
i mean, the guy who invented THAT acid was also himself a chemist.
im studying chemistry here in chile, first year. During a laboratory experiment we worked with concentrated bromine, puring it into a test tube out of the flask without any pipette nor gloves. Pretty good
as far as nilered making things look easy and accessible goes, that was exactly the case for me. I wouldn't have started doing alkaloid extractions among other chemistry at home with acids bases and xylenes if it weren't for you dawg
Phenol was considered the devil in our lab. It’s not something you can just wipe off to wash off with water. It also has an anaesthetic effect so you may not notice it initially. You need to neutralise it with PEG solution and if you don’t, it will keep burning you. One student was so afraid of it they actually tipped the container all over their lab coat because they were shaking so much. Thankfully they were completely unharmed. But that chemical had a reputation and I’m still a little afraid of it.
2:57 hence the saying 'Jack of all trades, master of none.'
'is always better than master of one'
@@dhilipraja very true I agree.
10:11 I know it's perspective but Garnt looks *massive* in comparison.
Nile really embodies the "eh fuck it." Mentality
Dear Mr. Nile, it's so great to listen to the way you explain why you are so damn skillfull in what you do. amazing!
Jack of all trades master of none -chem edition
Nile being scared with a whole bunch of safety protocols:
Codyslab dipping his hands in mercury:
This reminds me of my chem teacher when we worked with a chemical I can’t remember and he just said “oh and before you start quickly. If your fingers feel soapy that’s just your skin dissolving” in the plainest most casual tone ever
Probably something like ethanol. It slowly turns the fats in your skin into soap.
Should be low concentration of sodium hydroxide or so
the amount of times connor looks at the camera and nervously giggle is hilarious
It's really relatable on working with new chems. Mercury salts was something I was really afraid of until I worked with it. You can always start small and work up but no matter what this was scary to the point I would shake and also need to wait for a day where I felt confident about it as well. Now it's probably been 15 times and I still shake lol I do feel more confident and have multiple plans for spills and if things don't go to plan. If you prepare for the worst and how to fix it then going in and being careful always gives me a sense of confidence but I never start anything without feeling confident about it.
He must not realize, the cameraman never dies.
You make chemistry look accessible. It great!
props to this guy for planning things out and knowing what he is doing
I commend him honestly and he’s truly a pioneer on the approach to chemistry. Having someone like Nile in a team is how you get a breakthrough.
11:08 new joey garnt sync
Yall should see if styropyro I'd interested in coming on. I can see that being a fun podcast
Hr foes lasers and stuff and has been contacted by the government lol
i think the nerousness nigel describes when working with dangerous stuff in a lab might actually be more dangerous than being calm and collected in a lab situation
That’s a given
I think the sky is blue
You don't say 🤣
I tink so to!!
The collaboration we didn't realize we needed soooooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i love nilered and i love trash taste so this combo is great!!!!!
This dude is literally 200IQ.
2:00 Nile is a giga chad, and this is how he says it.
Yeah, im in grade 12 chem, and so far our teacher has set the ceiling on fire by accident while demonstrating different colours of fire and rockets at the same time, and put the class snack beside the potassium cyanide for our lab.
nile talking normally made me recoil
It's actually a miracle he's still alive
Around 11:30 ish when connor was going on about how the algorithm kept bringing him back to Nilered it gets crazy to me that long time fans of nilered before that and thousands of others like me are why connor had that recommended to him. Its crazy how we bring our favorite creators together.
"Here's a scar I got from spilling acid on myself" *brightest smile* 😂
The commitment of this man is insane
yo new bromine dropped
On the topic of how skillful someone can be in Chemistry, aside from researchers on specific areas, most of it comes from practice. The theory part, everyone knows it, like it's a requirement for everything on why certain things are the way they are, or why some things happens and why others do not. The differencial is, as I said, on the practice with techniques avaliables for certains protocols, for example, destillations, vacuum filtrations, recrystallizations and so on. They're part of other theorys, on why they should be used here or there, but the difference is the practice you have on doing them.
I've never been more nervous to show up to a class than the day in general chemistry when we were working with 16 M nitric acid without gloves and doing a lab where one step involved the production of nitrogen dioxide gas (in a fume hood obv).
"Acid spilled on me but I didn't want to ruin the shot." Absolute beast of a man.
I've been a fan of both nilered and trash taste for a long time now and i've been recommended the clips from this episode so many times since it came out, and this is the first time i realized the guest actually was nilered because I've never seen his face before
“Hey guys, would any of you happen to know a way to obtain large amounts of red phosphorus for minimal financial sacrifice?”
There's a thingsiwontworkwith blog that details lots of things that are really dangerous, like, hydrofluoric acid, that people just won't work with, because they're so personally threatening.
I think they could make about 20 vids from that podcast, full of content. I feel like they havent really properly scratched the surface of him lol
just make sure the floor is always clear so you don't trip and spill.... like the gold...
As an auto-mechanic we get into dangerous work too in a different way, however we use the same satirical gestures like you do NileRed. " You'll be fine " is one of my favorites 🤣
5:10 I agree, I am still in Gymnasium and when I was in a Lab for Organic Chemistry for 3 days, we were allowed to use Bromine under supervision and sometimes you had the paranoid sense of having dropped some of it on your glove, which made you change them a lot more than in reality necessary.
NileRed videos are honestly amazing. It’s crazy that it’s free on CZcams. His camera work is, I feel, very under appreciated.
Choreographed is the word he was looking for I think
I never took chemistry but was the plant operator at a chemical plant. So can tell you alot of facts and details about ammonium nitrate production and its uses. Along with several chemicals we use for the process. Also some byproducts in an industrial environment when there is cross contamination with non target materials.
There’s a fear of getting chemicals on the skin whilst me and my mate are spilling acid everywhere in chemistry class
An expert of praxis from all the hands on experience
Nile seems like a pretty anxious person
I can't help but think of what Nickolas Cage said to Sean Connery in "The Rock" when people work with dangerous chemicals "The minute you don't respect this it kills you"
3:40 bro that is so true. I’ve really enjoy creating things. So I’ve become incredibly good at finding things people have never done before. It’s hard to explain but I have always done the exact thing and got a wide range of understanding. CZcams 24/7
Isn't HF a Calcium seeking compound. One of my college TAs said that if you got HF on you it would seek the Calcium in your bones and fuck you up. After that I have always been super scared of HF and always preferred HCl when I need a strong acid.
You don’t use HF if you need strong acid anyway. It’s a toxic flourinating agent that eats through silicate material, yes, but no where near a strong acid.
Yes, calcium gluconate gel is used as a treatment for HF burns
@@aluminiumknight4038 Mmm sounds tasty.
HF is the real boogey man
@@aluminiumknight4038 love me some Calcium gluconate
Is that NileRed and the Anime Man in the same room. 2023 is wild
That acid story around 09:35 sounds like an alternative version of Fight Club.
I recently had my first lab intership, and one of the things I had to work with was called dichromate. We were told that out of all the things we will work with the stuff to be most careful about is dichromate. And guess who spilled that orange dust the first time he used it... The fear of chemicals that you use the first time ever is definitly there, but as long as you stick to safety protocols then everything should be fine. In my case I was wearing gloves, so the dichromate was literally harmless to me.
Had to look up that video... Turns out I have already seen it.
The thing with chemistry and dangerous chemicals in particular. There is a safe way to work with everything. The dump thing is, usually when you are terrified out of your mind working with for instance bromine, everything tends to go well. When it becomes routine that's when mistakes tend to happen.
If these guys think Nile red is insane, they should watch explosions and fire. So much crazier.
YOU GOTTA LET THE MAN TALK PLEASE STOP INTERRUPTING
Back when I was in college I opted to work in the Chem lab as a tech rather than many other part time minimum wage jobs of the time (almost 30 years ago). The one thing that sticks out in my head to this day was the lady that ran the lab and who was my boss, was terrified of diluting concentrated acids... I can't begin to count how many times I'd go to start my shift, and find the lab doors locked so I'd knock while she was at the fume hood... which for a lot of stuff we spent a lot of time there so it wasn't anything weird to see externally. So I'd knock and she'd damn near have a heart attack because she was so worried about spilling whatever acid she was working with... then she'd be mad at me. I'm like if you left the door unlocked so I could get it (because you know it's my start time) why would you be surprised I have no idea what you're doing? Beside if you're that afraid of it, leave it be, and I'll pour it. I dunno, maybe I just had more strength in my hands to handle the coated gallon jugs of concentrated acids (which if you don't know are all heavier than the equivalent volume of water) to pour into graduated cylinders to then mix down with water to make stock solutions.
Maybe my advice from my Lieutenant in the fire department stuck in my head, if you panic you're dead, stick to your training, and execute accordingly. In the 3 years I worked there, I never spilled a drop, never broke any glassware, and in the last year, I was the guinea pig to run labs for all the classes, if I could read and perform the experiments in the alloted time with good results, it made it into the classes. Probably one of the most fun and enjoyable jobs I ever had.
This gem is suggested to me and I regret it didn't do it earlier
