The song was about the German attack on a then Russian controlled fortress (this was WWI) where they used a Chlorine and Bromine gas mixture. Chloride molecules are the most common salts particularly Sodium and Potassium Chlorides (I typically use a 50/50 mixture to reduce my sodium intake while boosting my Potassium a bit) but when Chlorine molecules are isolated they become a terrible gas that destroys the lungs and eyes in mere minutes.

      After having watched the video, I believe it is to do with the moment when MatPat was talking about chemistry, where he asked for Steph's help. I believe this implies that Steph is a Chemistry major whereas MatPat is a different major.
      This would be a reasonably analysis, and for a person who doesn't realise that they both went to uni, this comment would be reasonable. (without the frills because People in stem are important, gender has no play here.)

      Technically the human brain is wired to be addicted to salt, regardless of the source...and that's actually the same neurological circuit some addictive drugs utilize to trigger addiction, & the biggest problem with those drugs is they bind to the reward centers more strongly than salts do, so it actually will disrupt your ability to consume salt, since the drugs effectively have replaced salt as the thing that is to be "rewarded" for consuming..
      As for residual pheromones... that's not possible since the heat used to evaporate the water, would have broken down those compounds, & in effect, rendered them entirely inert.

      Honestly it's not gross to boil it, you know that all liquids will fly away, and bacteria will burn to death pretty fast. You might also think about salt is very anti-bacterial on it's own, because it's super dry, and bacteria needs water, which we boiled away.... this is pretty safe scientifically, which makes me not think it's that gross.

  • @Dacring
    @Dacring Před 2 lety +1824

    The fact that Steph's tears were immediately dispersing across her cheeks may have been caused by her foundation. If her foundation is hydrophilic, then the tears would not bead up compared to MatPat's skin which is naturally hydrophobic. It honestly would be really interesting to have Steph use foundation on one side of her face only and then test to see if her tears bead up on the side without foundation.
    You also probably had more salt present in your tears than you thought too. As mentioned, our tears have mucus present in them, and mucus contains salts (~1%) to prevent aggregation from occurring so that should be taken into account as well when calculating the total salt concentration in tears.

I happened to glance at the back of the bag and I saw the exact words, "Because when you have ridges, the crunches are crunchier and the dipping strength multiplies," so I think it would be cool if you compared different types of chips types/brands' taste/crunchiness/dipping strength, etc.

      you need to stop the onion irritant for getting to your eyes, some methods I'v seen are wrapping plastic wrap over your eyes/wearing swimming goggles, placing a wet rag by the cutting board(was a wive's tale about the rag attracting the irritants first vs. your eyes) keeping the onion room temp before chopping. keeping the onion cold before chopping...

    I think harvesting sweat for popcorn would be incredibly gross, but there are ways to make it slightly less gross. 1: I would recommend showering before exercising, to ensure you don't have any deodorant or makeup on your skin. 2: once you get your collected liquid I would suggest leaving it in a sealed container and letting it sit for a few days, preferably in a cold place to reduce the growth of bacteria. This step will help the skin cells separate out, giving your final product a lot less cloud. and then 3 I would suggest using a pipette to extract the liquid from the area between the skin cells at the bottom and the area at top to help reduce the amount of body oils/fats you'll be collecting.
    after this you should have mostly salt, water, and bacteria, which you can boil away into a bunch of salt and dead bacteria.

    Also, I know that they were giving a basic explanation but for those who don't know, the salts they were talking about are called binary salts, meaning that they're made from ions and only need those two molecules.

    I’d love it if Steph taught me chemistry. My high school class didn’t teach me very well, I always wanted to learn the subject, but the way my class was split up, I learned barely anything!! Her explaining what salt was, was INTERESTING to me!!!

      I basically had to teach myself chemistry, I was in an online schooling program so the only contact I had with my "teachers" was when they graded my work, and maybe a few back and forth emails here and there when I had issues
      Wasn't fun lol, my favorite part of science was the hands on experimenting, which you couldn't get with online classes
      Kinda sad actually..
      That was the only class that kinda sucked online tho, but only because I couldn't do the experiments myself and the stuff was hard to understand by yourself haha
      Had Steph taught me, I would've had a lot more fun :D

      @@AkumaDayo That sounds tough!! Sorry you had to go through that :/ In my situation, we were supposed to have one science class every day, and then a second “lab” class every other day. For some reason, the teacher I had for my lab class was different than my actual chemistry teacher. Both of them taught in different ways, which were both unhelpful for me personally, but on top of that it always felt like they were teaching two different subjects despite both of them being chemistry. Neither of them were ever on the same page. It made it so much harder. Very different from yours but equally frustrating :( Glad we can agree Steph would make a great chemistry teacher!!!!

      @@PeachyCheeks16 luckily I'm pretty intelligent, so it wasn't as rough as it could've been
      But yeah, hated doing online chemistry cuz it was so much tougher than the the other online classes I was taking
      Had to take breaks between lessons cuz it was so draining,,
      My favorite online classes tho we're the music classes I took as electives, they were very fun and I learned a bit about composing music a bit! I've been wanting to get into composing music ever since but I think I'll need more lessons haha

      No, although they do have slightly different compositions. And I really do mean slightly, you would not be able to taste the difference over the salt.

    Ya know, I’ve been a fan of yours since at latest 2018, and I’m curious about you and Stephanie’s choice and dedication to being married (At least, I assume) and from mainstream things like Will Smith’s struggles to personal things like most of my loved ones (And even me) struggling with unhappy dating and marriages. How do you two do it? When I see and think of you two (And your kid) and hear and see the love you guys have for one another, I feel like I’m witness to a rare and beautiful anomaly! I’m so happy for you and the others, but how are you guys doing it? It feels like marriage and truly even caring legitimately for others is becoming a lost art. And I’m not cynical: I am desperately curious. This is the kind of thing I hope never disappears from the world!

      yeah no as much as we are told so, love isn’t dead. It’s not that hard if you find someone who you can actually communicate with and if you set proper boundaries. Don’t get me wrong relationships and especially marriage is a lot of work, but it’s not impossible.

    You guys should've called me. Granted, I'm in the other side of the world but, if you make me watch sad movies (like really, gut wrenchingly sad) or scold me and then try to make me feel better with kind words, your salt content would've increased by at least 2 to 3 times. I'm not even kidding. Like genuinely.
