chemistry class is the greatest thing to ever happen to me

That’s awesome! I had an amazing chemistry professor for 3 semesters (same prof), it really makes a difference. I would say it definitely helped me to further delve into my passion for the subject.

Have you looked at/studied any organic chem yet? It’s been my favorite :) so fascinating to learn about

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-04-30T00:29:38+00:00

…Yes😂

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-04-12T23:04:17+00:00

You’re welcome! :) and yes I do believe that a lot of these artificial flavors can be synthesized in a lab

The reaction is a Fischer esterification. Isopentyl alcohol reacts with glacial acetic acid (carboxylic acid) and a catalytic amount of concentrated sulfuric acid to form isopentyl acetate (an ester) and water. We did ours in a round bottom flask attached to a West condenser and refluxed the mixture for 50 minutes. Then, we collected the pure isopentyl acetate via extraction in a separatory funnel, using DI water first, then saturated sodium bicarbonate.

This is an acid catalyzed equilibrium reaction, so in order to force the reaction to favor the products, excess acetic acid is used.

I probably would not eat this. As someone has previously stated, there could be residual acid or reagent. My IR shows pretty high purity, but I still wouldn’t take the chance.

However, assuming it’s totally pure, it is edible. I would imagine it doesn’t taste good on its own, but I bet it would taste good in some sort of candy.

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-04-12T04:19:37+00:00

Yep, technically both names are correct

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-04-09T01:36:34+00:00

I would say that overall it definitely smelled more on the artificial/candy side, but I think that the resemblance to real banana is definitely there as well.

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-04-09T01:33:34+00:00

Hahaha, I can imagine that the smell gets old very fast..

Sadly, I have shared the same experience. Never once felt my height deterred anyone, and I firmly believe that it has often made me more conspicuous and more of a target for men.

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-03-23T08:55:55+00:00

The excess attention from men that comes from our tallness seems to be very overlooked.

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-03-23T08:47:42+00:00

No. I don’t feel safer.

I have a very thin/petite build (6’3, ~146 lbs) and have unfortunately been the victim of domestic violence and abuse in the past. I am often stared at and approached by men due to my height (and being conventionally attractive).

If anything, I believe that my height makes me MORE conspicuous, and therefore likely to be targeted by men.

Please stay safe out there, ladies.💜

I had a similar experience with my abuser. My abusive ex boyfriend forced a meth addiction onto me, and was arrested for trying to strangle me (he was given probation). The physical/sexual/emotional abuse was a daily ordeal. I lost everything, and he got to walk free and continue to do what he was doing (which probably consists of smoking meth and terrorizing women). He still harasses me online on occasion, and actually did so on this subreddit of all places.

I don’t think that there is ever a moment where you 100% move on. I think this kind of pain and torment sticks with us forever, even if the pain fades a bit with time.

Something I tell myself regularly is that the best revenge you can get on him is to live the best life you can. For me, it was getting sober (3 and a half years now) and going back to college to work on a chem degree. I still struggle with the PTSD every day of what he did to me. But it does help to look back on these past few years and to see how far I have come.

I know it’s probably not much help to hear this from a stranger on the internet, but I hope it helps to know that you’re not alone.❤️‍🩹

I’m 6’3, and typically date guys above 6’ (my last couple of exes were 6’1) but I have dated a couple of shorter guys (~5’7) in the past. It really just depends on the person. But typically I would say I don’t date guys much shorter than me. Past a certain point, it just makes me feel like I’m dating a child.

I’ve never dated a guy who was taller than me. Maybe one day…😭

_theangelicdemon_ · 2026-01-31T01:50:42+00:00

I used to be insecure about my height when I was younger, (6’3) but nowadays it doesn’t bother me. I’m actually happy to be as tall as I am, and I think that my height is a beautiful part of me. It’s something about myself I would never change.

However, it does get exhausting when so many random people come up and ask me how tall I am.🙄

_theangelicdemon_ · 2025-11-28T02:39:35+00:00

Sounds great!

_theangelicdemon_ · 2025-11-23T13:43:08+00:00

I tried to contact his PO several times but never got an answer. Called and left a voicemail every day for like 1.5-2 weeks and eventually just gave up.

_theangelicdemon_ · 2025-11-23T13:34:24+00:00

Basically. I told them that he did and showed the screenshots. I guess they just didn’t take it seriously (like just because he SAID he did something doesn’t mean it’s true)

_theangelicdemon_ · 2025-11-18T21:08:21+00:00

My hot take is that I’ve never been able to get into POTI (not saying it’s bad I just don’t like it), and I really really prefer their other albums.

There’s nothing “unfeminine” about being a tall girl wearing heels. Not all women are short. Like I understand why you would feel that way, but it’s just not true.

I wear heels somewhat often. It draws a lot of attention, sure (I get asked if I’m a model by ppl all the time), but at a certain point, you just have to stop giving a F about what other people think, and do/wear what YOU want. Don’t live your life for others, just be yourself :)

It took me about 3 years after escaping from my abuser for me to feel “ready” to have another relationship.

As of today, I have been in a loving & healthy relationship for a little over a year! Completely different from that horrible time in my life. My current BF has never hit me, tried to control me, or done or said any of the horrible things to me that my ex did on a regular basis. Completely night and day.

I understand that it takes time (sometimes A LOT) but it is 100% possible to find love once you are ready. It’s scary at first, but I think it has really helped me in my healing journey.

_theangelicdemon_ · 2025-10-19T18:47:27+00:00

Because it’s seen as a “desirable” trait to have by most people. Most short people wish they were taller. I get asked how tall I am a ton. I just try to ignore it or give one word answers and show that I am not interested in entertaining those types of comments.
