I love how he always smiles even when he is telling you if you attempt what he is doing you will die
“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
There are several creepypastas that start this way.
Because of just... Him being him, I didn't bat an eye at it
Id argue thats the most tame thing ive heard him say, hiking with cats is weird but they sell harnesses for them and people do it but if you spend enough time in the woods you will inevitability come across bones
Hey I've found a deer skull while hiking last week lol
I literally laughed out loud when he said that, and seeing someone else comment on it made my day! 🤣🤣
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

you were correct on the second one...
Jesus Christ lmao you were right
second one is right😅
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!
Also, David Hahn had the same book, which eventually led to him making a nuclear reactor in his basement, causing many people to be exposed to radiation and him to be arrested. Hahn died in 2016 due to alcohol intoxication. He was nicknamed "The Radioactive Boy Scout"

also nice desk btw
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!
Good thing he was born, or they may have never stopped!
WELL before he was born. They mostly stopped using it in the 1930s. Assuming you're not over 80 years old, what you were smelling was probably perchloroethylene. It has what Wikipedia describes as a "pleasant smell," which ... kind of describes carbon tet also (the usual adjective used there is "sweet").

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.
I would agree with you, wouldn’t he work so care free and without any safety standards. I worked with some of the same stuff too, like you said I had to wear a hazmat suit and he is there with a fucking tank top, he isn’t even wearing a long sleeve. I m deeply worried that someday he, someone near him or someone else taking him as a role model will harm him loser or other around him. And if he isn’t dying from it now he will someday from the consequences what’s really sad. It’s important to motivate young people but not like this. I highly doubt/can’t believe/ imagine he is a trained experienced professional with his lack of safety measures, like lab coat, fume hood, real equipment and furniture. And with his mistreating of safety rules like doesn’t tf taste the stuff you made, or release toxic smoke into the environment he is really a danger and it’s no wonder why he got a visit from the FBI, but they should’ve done something to stop this madness before something will happen
@@ATAMorpheusdespite his lack of safety protocols and slight insanity, he has a degree in chemistry and is qualified to teach it. His electronic videos on the other hand… well he at the very least has an extensive amount of experience and knowledge to make up for his lack of a degree.

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.
Exactly 😊
😂😂😂
"A buff Disney princess" is what I dream to be called
I imagine the FBIs visit made them focus more on our beloved disney princess. I picture a file larger than the printed version of the code used to go to the moon, surrounded by dozens of agents trying to figure out exactly what weapon could be made with all of the things he has bought.
*and a domesticated squirrel

Okay, that's literally the first time I've ever seen a drill bit bend and not break. THAT was impressive!

I think this type of video is a recipe for success. You have the ability to show strange and deadly recipes from the 30s while also doing it in an entertaining fashion as well as explaining why you shouldn't mix these chemicals together, teaching others in the process. Well done.
the disarming way he speaks about stuff is not at all indicative of how crazy smart he is or how fucking insane the stuff he makes is. i love this channel so much.
agreed
13:40 curious what the yeet and is this loss? means or is it a reference?

Only some of it is insane. Other stuff is just the usual toxic, of the kind you might find in a river in India or Pakistan.

The fact that the fbi has officially investigated this man means he is a confirmed legend
dont get your hopes up like he did... the main investigation was obviously Styro's squirrelfriend, its no wonder they didnt care to look inside. all the evidence they needed was on the outside.
I bought a lot of sulfur and other stuff before and got a visit, but it was all for my fish tanks, so all good 😅
or hes a honest reporter telling the truth about its corruption
FBI harasses youtubers over far less. Forest Anon is a great example.
That'll one up any story at dinner. "Oh, you went backpacking in Colorado? Did I ever tell you about the time that I synthesized compounds for a TH-cam video that were so dangerous that THE FBI VISITED ME FROM PURCHASING THE INGREDIENTS?!"
Hi. I used to work with fake sweat. I tested fabric for quality, and we used it to see if sweat was able to transport dyes from our test fabric to a test patch (which was made of a selection of fabric types).
I am genuinely grateful. Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like I watched something entertaining yet educational while also not goofy and childish. Thanks 4 making content homie.
We keep thinking he’s dead, but when he uploads he looks healthier and swoler. STOP WORRYING FOR HIS SAFETY HES BECOMING TOO STRONG
He's literally as close to a mad scientist as I think we're going to get. "Hey, so I made a new channel and am chasing tornados again" while also building death lasers XD
Seems like we're just a few years away from Drake going full mad scientist and carving out his own nation in the woods. Perhaps those of us worrying for him would be welcome to join his technological paradise and be safe from the variety of doomsday devices he and his squirrel friend have been making together?

A lot of historical scientists were also interested in nature a lot (ex. Charles Darwin). Science is used to figure out how everything in nature works, after all. That's why there's the "natural sciences". (it's also how you get the "playing god" Dr. Frankenstein stereotype)
I like that he invited them in to show them around and they nope'd the fuck out. Would've been funny that they also noticed he wasn't buying moth eggs anymore, so they thought he lost his reason to live and were concerned he was up to no good.

Is the rainbow charcoal toxic?
@@TURK_182 In spite of it being prussian blue, which is commonly used in paints, it's still kinda toxic. Also, the things you use to make it can release cyanide in contact with acid, or are just generally unplesant (mildly toxic) to the body. If you don't have the facillities or an education in this I don't reccomend dabbling and trying to make stuff, no matter how cool it may be.
@@TURK_182 Basically everything he made in the video except the table coating (I have the ingredients for that one actually so I might try it) are mildly toxic to lethal, the pyrotechnics only made sense because he's miles from other people and even then he was in full PPE
Prussian blue is still used but not in anything you handle directly; it's typically sealed afterwards through a glass frame or a clear coating.
Even the bench was sealed afterwards with the linseed oil, dries to something like a resin.

Smoke pot is usually used as a blackening agent. Example of use, to blacken iron sights on a rifle while distance shooting. Helps to define the sight image, especially is glare is an issue.

About that mercuric nitrate ointment, I know what it was used for. My dad used to talk about an old country doctor in eastern Douglas County, MO, (probably back in the 1930s or earlier) who would make an ointment out of what he called “aqua fortis and quicksilver.” If I remember correctly, he used it as a treatment for what was commonly called “the itch” (scabies).
Ah yes the cure for itching: toxic liquid metal
@@Qualicabyss you have to remember this stuff in the context of the era-- sulfa drugs were the best they had and anti-parasitics were mostly based on the "it kills them before it kills you because of the dose", selectively toxic drugs that were toxic to parasites but not the host were not really a thing. As a result mercury and arsenic were common in treating various kinds of infestations-- including the scabies mite. This is the era when they figured out enough to make the toxic metal more or less bioavailable, but they hadn't discovered the modern drugs yet.
@@dangerszewski9816 If only history class was like this. lmao
Well, if you ever had that calamity upon you it would be clear why people would go down desperate ways to get rid of it before ivermectin.
Mercury salts were also applied topically to treat syphilis, though the effect was questionable since the disease wasn‘t just skin deep, and the mercury probably added to the neurotoxicity.
Then again, the alternatives for treating syphillis were either injecting organic arsenic compounds, or deliberately getting infected with malaria so that the resulting high fever would combat both pathogens.
This is a master class on how to include an ad that the viewer won't skip. Very well done
Seeing that drill bit fold in half made my jaw drop.
Styro attempting to make a parade torch and ending up with a small solid rocket engine is possibly one of the most styro things i've ever seen.
drake is the only person that can talk about taking his cats on a hike and make me go "yeah, that checks out"
probably a lot of those things in the woods, if you live far enough in the woods
I didn’t even give that a second thought until you pointed it out 😂
i think they hired this guy to be on their DEW team for the lasers that set fire to maui so that blackrock can buy the scorched land for 30 cents on the dollar
15:01 thats the stuff gru put on his minions to make them purple
Please make more of these man. Absolutely love how you make these feel like fun and not like some boring class.
“Even a pound of ass has enough arsenic to kill like 500 people” has me laughing so hard
Dude, I used to have a pet squirrel and the amount of people she totally freaked out by climbing up trying to be friendly was hilarious. I remember one time there was this real big dude who came over for a Craigslist sale. He was being all intimidating trying to talk down the price then she ran over and climbed up his leg making him scream like a little girl. Great stuff
AWWW that is so cute!!! I love my friendly cousins in the woods. I'm actually kinda jealous lol
I hope he paid full price after that embarrassing encounter.
Friendly squirrels are usually rabid, no? I mean yours was tame but he had no way of knowing that.
@@TheBackyardChemist That's usually the assumption, however if they were fed and well-treated at young or otherwise haven't properly developed fear of humans, they may not be rabid. Usually, if a squirrel is rabid, it behaves very aggressively and won't stop making advancements even if you back away and change course.
Oh man you are like the only real TH-camr left holyshit this is awesome
Love the series
I like how in that war gas table, it says that no protection is needed for white phosphorus and thermite. I assume they mean protection against inhalation, but I'm pretty sure those aren't the particular dangers one typically associates with either of those chemicals. Also it's both hilarious and concerning that that book has a war gas table in the first place
White Phosphorus is completely safe* for creating smoke in urban environments like the Gaza Strip!
*the smoke is safe the burning stuff is very not safe
tbf white phosphorus was used for smoke grenades and shells
People used to be tougher.
@@thebiggamers999 I'm pretty sure you would have a bad time if you accidentally touched one of those after it had been ignited as well
@@dmac1259 smh my head, soyboys these days can't even hold live thermite w/o protection
This book is insane, I wonder what the body count behind the book is. Some people sure have died trying to make stuff from it
100%
A book having a body count is concerning in a couple ways...
The high amount of lethal and/or carcinogenic cold remedies in the book probably did poison people. In part 3 of the series, apparently the books authors had the silly idea to use a strong Lewis acid with a potent oxidizer in an organic solvent, all quite toxic, as a cold remedy. When the Lewis acid involved was not diluted, the addition of the organic solvent to the two other ingredients instantly proved to be hypergolic, resulting in the beaker's contents spontaneously igniting and vigorously so. When the Lewis acid was diluted, and a piece of aluminum foil was dropped in the mixture, the mixture proved to be highly corrosive, oh and a fire hazard. And this was touted 90 years ago as a cold remedy, despite it being highly toxic and reactive. Also, the book featured other cold remedies containing massive amounts of carcinogens. One had a mix of chloroform, formaldehyde, and ether, plus isopropanol. Chloroform and formaldehyde are carcinogenic, ether will put one to sleep, and isopropanol is not something you want in your body. It's toxic. Let's just say that any physicians who treated patients with these carcinogenic and reactive remedies probably ended up breaking their Hippocratic Oaths unknowingly. Assuming that the preparation of these supposed remedies didn't sicken them, or worse. Also, the recipe that fills holes at the cost of Hydrogen Sulfide production probably poisoned some repair technician 90 years ago fixing metal. Or, their clients. Also, the toxic methods for getting rid of pests in this book probably poisoned homeowners. Given the sheer poison hazard of many of these recipes, it's honestly more than likely that someone followed a dangerous recipe and it didn't go well for them, ending in them getting poisoned.
dude always amazing videos but gotta say really nice ad lol, I kinda want the desk now 😂
When is part 5 dude? Loving this series
I'm not gonna lie, the most important part of this video was hearing that your squirrel friend was alright and still enjoying hanging out with people.
Okay, at first I thought coloring coal was one of the most asinine things I’d ever heard, but after seeing the results I have to admit it looks pretty freaking awesome. Even if I had known that the coloring reaction was synthesizing an outer layer of Prussian Blue I still wouldn’t have expected the appearance to be as strikingly beautiful as it is.
It sounds like something you'd do in the 1800s to celebrate Christmas.
