In a recent poll I did here on Patreon there was overwhelming support for me to test out recipes in an old 1933 chemical formulary. So here it is!

Now I have to decide what I'll do next for a video. Maybe I'll finally post some ruby laser stuff.

Do you all like the chemistry related content or shall I stick to lasers?? If this video does well I'll do a part 2.

Testing CRAZY Recipes from a 1933 Chemical Formulary Book

Have a cold? Inhale some chloroform and ether. Got dirty pennies? Clean them with a 2000 lethal dozes of cyanide. social media sillyness: instagram: https://www.instagram.com/styro.drake patreon: https://www.patreon.com/styropyro twitter (new!!): https://twitter.com/H_C_Lambda This book would be called "chemistry life hacks" if it were written today. That being said, the flagrant use of neurotoxins, unstable explosive compounds, and heavy metals means it probably wouldn't make it on the bookstore shelves. There are actually a lot of good recipes in here, other than the scary toxins of course. This book would have been extremely useful to someone who knew a little chemistry in the 30s and wanted to save money and make stuff at home. I just picked out some of the more ridiculous formulas and tested them in this video.

So, dude, when you took a break a while, back, I literally searched the internet to see if you'd died or not. So glad that you're back. I had just assumed that you finished school and got picked up by some black ops military science division ... or that you took a super cushy job at ANY F500 company or startup that has a forward thinking chemistry or laser division. Either way, please tell me that you're out there getting paid for that massive neural wet-net that you've been working on.

Thanks for making this video, I cracked up at some of the recipes you found in there!

Ha ha I think a lot of people thought I was killed. If you google "styropyro" one of the first suggestions is "styropyro dead" lol. I guess when you mess with lethal science stuff and then don't post for a while, people assume the worst. But no, I am not working in any high paying position right now. Just part time construction and some small contract work. I'm nearly broke but the free time has been nice, especially after cramming so much stuff in during college.
