    Patreon, as I've said in this here video film clip, has been 'going off' lately. Some of these fantastic names are below. I've paired you in groups of threes this time, so rather than being best friends like the groups of two were last video, in this case its a group assignment and you're all working on a powerpoint presentation together. Each work on it individually, and then just paste your slides together 10 minutes before your presentation, so it's brutally clear when it jumps from one person's slides to the next, but the sudden change in font, style and colour. Oh yeah. Anyway:

      To my understanding it can be made with Copper metal, Ammonium nitrate, and Generic Ammonium cleaner, then you basically just mix them together and aerate it.
      I did it in plastic cups, but I would love to see someone like you who actually knows what they are doing attempt it.

    Copper is the evilest element, most people don't expect to have copper chem fail on them because of the pretty colors, but that's where it gets ya. it lures in unsuspecting chemists with its pretty colors and uses and when you least expect it, the copper strikes. you'll have copper stains everywhere, the yields are shit, you don't know what's going on and you just wanna go home and forget about all the problems with copper, but then you return because its soo pretty like continuing to text your abusive ex. i consider copper the most insidious element in the periodic table.

And you make these entertaining enough that even when you lose me scientifically (immediately) I'm still laughing and love watching the chemistry. Keep it up man!

" Two months later on extractions&Ire Project plan: Cubane sysnthesis is released. The internet successfully peer pressured a physics PHD into making a highly complex chemical, in a shed in australia, using chemicals from pool supply and hardware stores, and a weird box with LEDs from Amazon. Will he succeed? Maybe, but not before using the last of his sanity as the final ingredient in what is increasingly appearing like the life's work of a deranged 14th century alchemist.
