Ah, yes – twenty eighteen, the year which I started as a dumb de- and repressed boy and finished off on the high-note of dumb depressed woman.
Here's to hoping for minus one adjective a year to be the standard and I might stop being a sorry excuse for a human by 2030.

Not only did I not kill myself with the lungful of Sulfur-product smoke nor the HS fumes, but I have also obtained these 8.7g and 0.6g chunks of Silicon in the process. Overall, a 44.2% yield (if the blobs are pure Silicon).

I… I love them
So in this 1993 "Chemistry Basics" textbook for 14-15 year olds I'm reading, we've already:
- looked directly at a burning magnesium strip
- used one to ignite some loosely-handled ammonium dichromate (dark-green smoke mentioned, venting wasn't)
Replying to @nabijaczleweli
- cut the lif off a food tin, punched a hole in the bottom with a big nail, plugged it, fed hydrogen into the can for 3 minutes, unplugged the hole, immediately set a lit fuse to it, whereupon a vigorous explosion happens, and can is shot upwards
Replying to @nabijaczleweli
- sprinkled some (ca. 1g) mercury oxide into a test tube, capped it with a cork with a pipe, inserted its end into an upturned water-filled test tube, then heated the tube with the mercury oxide over a torch.
Replying to @nabijaczleweli
[…] After having filled the second tube with oxygen, disconnected it, and […] capped with a rubber cork. Afterwards, carefully wiped the drops of metalic mercury off the walls of the mercury oxide tube onto a watchglass.
Replying to @nabijaczleweli
All *before the end of the first chapter*, with absolutely no mentions of any safety equipment. The last two procedures above are sic., because I ran well over the character limit with the amount of (!!!!!!)s I'd otherwise've put there.
Replying to @nabijaczleweli
And don't get me wrong, I love bare-minimum safety as much as the next crazy plant lady, but dichromates(!) burning(!!) and mercury oxide(!!!) being heated(!!!!) yielding mercury vapour(!!!!!), both without ventillation(!!!!!!) nor gloves(!!!!!!!!).

first read that as mpreg but I'm still not sure which version is less wild
Replying to @nabijaczleweli
Just look at them 𝘨𝘰
Replying to @TheDanSixx
Just some fresh mead-to-be, no cause to be alarmed :Р
