    You won't need to worry about any shaky situations with our desks, we've got your safety in mind!

    “If I go to the WAR GASSES section, it says I’m over reacting” Man, that’s an epic book.
  • @Killbayne
    imagine being an fbi agent, pulling up to this remote house to talk to someone who's buying explosive chemicals in bulk and he's literally a Disney princess. that's what happened to him.
  • @adawg3032
    I love how he always smiles even when he is telling you if you attempt what he is doing you will die
  • @ShadoCroc
    3:45 "It was until the factory exploded couple months ago. Anyway..." I swear to god there's really something about crazy chemists. Nile red does this too!
  • @supersarse128
    “I found this deer skull while hiking with my cats recently” is one of the most batshit insane sentences I’ve ever heard and I’d expect nothing less
  • The mental image of styro explaining his chemical purchases while he try’s to stop his pet squirrel from climbing the nice fbi men is just perfection
  • @yaboiskalla8197
    Alright I’ve confirmed it. Styro is either dead right now or he is cooking up an absolute banger in that mad science lab of a garage he has 😂

    Self igniting cigarettes which decades later led to development of self extinguishing cigarettes. Reducing fires from falling asleep with a lit smoke. Increasing lighter sales, and annoyance of having to keep relighting.

    By far one of the most well thought out sponsor spots ever

    Hi Drake! Before you were born, all dry cleaners used CCl4 as their main cleaning chemical, and when you went to pick up your clothes the smell was absolutely overwhelming. Thanks for your great enthusiasm!

    I don't know if you've covered it already, but The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments was a book I had as a young child. It's now available on the web in PDF, and "IRL"... if you can find a copy. It's a child's chemistry book, but old enough that it makes modern grownups cower in fear of the alchemy within. Definitely worth a video or two. Love all your videos!
  • @SagaEf
    "I cannot overstate how dangerous this recipe is" he says in an indifferent voice
  • "I found this deer skull while hiking with my cats recently that'll be perfect for my experiment" is possibly the weirdest sentence to ever be said seriously
  • @JHRR-hb7vy
    I just wanted to thank you. I watched ur videos when i was a lot younger and it started a love for chemistry. I am now a botanist and i own a chemical clothing company. I couldnt have done it without ur videos that inspired me. Ive handled potassium chromate before and that shit is scary. I was in a hazmat suit and still got that adreniline rush. Thank you for risking your life for this video. You plant the seeds of scientists in our generations young minds.
  • @sid28
    “I found this deer skull while hiking with my cats” is perhaps the most styropyro sentence possible
  • @keels829
    Imagine what those FBI agents must have thought. They go to investigate someone who's been buying a ton of suspicious chemicals, and they show up at this guy's house and discover he's actually a buff Disney princess with a degree in chemistry, a penchant for fire and carcinogens, and a crazed look in his eyes.
  • @user-fg5my3wt9m
    everytime he uploads we are relieved that he isnt dead. The suggested quantities in the artificial fog recipe are absolutely hilarious..
