nah, that’s generally frowned upon among the people who do chemistry at home both because it’s not economically viable, will get you in jail and it may cause further restrictions on chemicals, which nobody wants or needs
I mostly do energetics/explosives on a very small scale and the occasional organic synthesis
if you want, there’s an amazing yt channel called Explosions&Fire which perfectly encapsulates the whole spirit of doing chemistry in your shed

Yup, luckily in my case I got into amateur chemistry (tysm sciencemadness) but it pained me to see my friends not actually knowing anything and just memorizing everything by the letter
- Comment on This is getting bad. Like, really really bad. 3 weeks ago:
Maybe it was over last November when people decided that allowing a twice impeached fascist felon dictator to hold the highest office was an acceptable result as long as a thousand+ year turf scrabble between two theologically opposed peoples on the other side of the fucking planet remained unresolved?
Its even funnier because trump made the Gaza situation even worse, and back when the elections hadn’t started I posted a meme about it on hexbear and everyone went “muh Gaza” (i tried writing shit but it gets deleted by the mods immediatly, so much for “free speech” and anarchism lmao)

First of all, sorry for the harsh response, I was in a hurry and I probably passed off as a dickhead
secondly tho, from the video you sent yourself at 9:43 “Nitromethane, all by itself, is a high explosive, but it is so inert, it’s almost impossible to set it off”
And that’s what I (probably in a bad way) implied in my first message, nitromethane either requires to be sensitized with something like ammonium nitrate (to make ANNM) or with ethylene diammine (to make PLX) (or really with any basic substance, even sodium hydroxide you get as a drain cleaner can work, but it gets too sensible and can detonate on its own while you work on it)
Here’s another video that shows nitromethane just plainly burning

Nitromethane doesn’t explode on it’s own under normal conditions

It’s not like they can rely of self sufficient solar panels, they just lobbied them out of existance with climate change denial
- Comment on I wonder how things are going in America today... 3 weeks ago:
That’s not balanced though
4 CH~3~NO~2~ + O~2~ → 4 CO + 6 H~2~O + 2 N~2~
also, why are we burning nitromethane?

- Comment on Anon sees happy people 2 months ago:
after many years of depression, I have just given up on dating, it’s not fun, it’s not rewarding (for me) and my hobbies keep me happy and fulfilled enough. If something wants to happen, I’m ready to welcome it, if not, who cares
