Extraction and purification of surface residue for triple quadrupole analysis looking for pesticides, or inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry looking for arsenic, but that’s practically physics by that level.

I take in oxygen and turn it into philosophical thought.

I helped create life and It was orgasmic!

Baking

For me it has been etching circuit boards and specifically making my own liquid tinning solution at one point. I mostly do hydrochloric acid/hydrogen peroxide on larger stuff and ferric chloride on smaller prototypes.

baking bread

Extracted lidocaine from butt lube.

There was one time when I put a mold filled with liquid water in a cold container and made solid water.

Made soap out of lye and a mix of fats and oils.

Stripped a cast iron pan using electrolysis, although that might be more physics than chemistry. I had to add Sodium Carbonate so that’s pretty sciencey!

Extracted lsa from morning glory seeds in order to make my own knock-off lsd

I tried a few simple AB extractions long ago in a previous life.

Colouring hair, baking soda+vinegar (to clean and showoff), crude fuel cell, cleaning a washing machine with borax and something (some soda?)

Cooking & baking

Pop Rocks, mouth, coca cola.

I bake from scratch.
