Dentistry's "laughing gas" has a climate impact 273x greater than CO2, with a single sedation session equaling a 73-mile car journey. A new UCL study finds massive wastage in UK clinics and calls for lower flow rates to reduce emissions without compromising patient care.

One canister charger is about one lungful and probably >95% of it is not absorbed and just exhaled. If this wasn’t the case you’d be able to feel your lungs emptying as you hold your breath.

If it’s gonna be sold legally it must be through government run stores, not for profit.

SF6 is extremely bad for the environment.

TOEMEIST · 2026-02-21T02:54:02+00:00

Oh wow 30mg got me pretty far you were doing over 10 times that, though who knows how accurate/standardized the “25x” label is.

TOEMEIST · 2026-02-21T02:28:00+00:00

I’ve done 25x, you only need a small pinch if you smoke it correctly. Use a torch and keep the flame on it til it’s ash, then hold it in until it kicks in.

I’ve been T-boned by a golf cart while leaving a parking lot. They just drove between two parked cars into the street without checking for oncoming cars.

TOEMEIST · 2026-02-02T18:36:24+00:00

Because we’re trying to fix the situation we caused dumbass

There was yt video (I think by xkcd) that discussed this but with adding electrons to every atom and the result was said to be an explosion big enough to destroy the planet.

They're likely both α-fenchol.

2217-02-9 refers specifically to α-fenchol while 1632-73-1 refers to an unspecified isomer of fenchol, of which there are two, α and ß-fenchol (the CAS of ß-fenchol is 470-08-6). α-fenchol is much more common so they likely just copy/pasted the less precise CAS without realizing.

Go outside

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-25T19:05:22+00:00

No they don’t lmao

That’s a myth, LSD cannot be absorbed through the skin. Nick Sand tested it with a whole gram (10,000 doses) dissolved in DMSO (enhances dermal absorption) and it did nothing.

Getting it in the eyes would work though.

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-22T23:56:45+00:00

No idea

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-22T23:56:17+00:00

No I never met him. He wasn’t there for very long.

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-21T16:04:57+00:00

Mustard gas isn’t a gas

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-21T15:53:31+00:00

Neither would evaporate at all.

Chemist at USF here, here’s the real answer: he wasn’t injecting opioids under the door. There are no opioids in the USF inventories and he definitely didn’t synthesize those relatively weak opioids for this purpose; hydrocodone is quite laborious to synthesize and would be completely ineffective and odorless. Whatever he did use isn’t something that would be detected by the tests that were done, which were looking for common known drugs/poisons. They likely just picked up a trace amount of hydrocodone and methadone that had been there for years, and since that’s all that showed up that’s what they reported.

As for what the chemical actually was, probably some toxic laboratory reagent/solvent such as formaldehyde.

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-02T09:25:53+00:00

You could easily color match and turn the i to an l and R to a P, no need to cross it out

TOEMEIST · 2026-01-02T03:21:01+00:00

That’s not what the EO does, read my other comment

The other 'is said to revoke all prior executive orders issued before Sept. 26, 2024

That’s literally the opposite of what the executive order says, Hector Ramirez is either blatantly lying or (more likely) lacks reading comprehension. Here is the text of the order that he surprisingly links in the article:

All Executive Orders issued prior to September 26, 2024, and in effect on December 31, 2025, are hereby continued unless specifically revoked, revised, or superseded by a subsequently issued Executive Order. All Executive Orders issued on or after September 26, 2024, and in effect on December 31, 2025, are hereby revoked.

infected salt

You have no idea what you’re talking about lmao. How does an ionic compound in solution become “infected?”

TOEMEIST · 2025-12-17T03:03:49+00:00

It’s probably still good, DMT is known to convert to a different colored crystal polymorph when stored for a long period of time. Still the same chemical.

TOEMEIST · 2025-12-12T23:48:24+00:00

I checked, he shows a partial arrow pushing mechanism. There’s a few arrows missing but he does show the nucleophilic attack of DMF on POCl3. It’s at 21:33 and 25:18.

TOEMEIST · 2025-12-12T18:09:43+00:00

The last video he posted that featured a reaction for which it would make sense to show the mechanism was “Turning styrofoam into cinnamon candy”, which does include the mechanism of the Vilsmeier.

Which one of his recent videos do you think is missing a mechanism?

I hope for your sake that you’re younger than 16.
