Cody eating a cherry thinking like “I wonder if cherry pits can dissolve gold? Better start collecting the pits” ...one year later...Never underestimate Cody’s persistence.

Ah yes just extract a deadly poison from a fruit and dissolve one of the most expensive metals into it. Typical Thursday.

More important, Prussian blue was also used by Bob Ross

Watching this before KZfaq takes it down because educational videos on chemistry don't seem to have any place on the platform.

“Low enough that I’m not worried about it... right now.” 😆

Cody's lab in 10 years: Making antimatter in my garage with a light bulb

Cody: "don't make cyanide yourself.....like...ever" also Cody: "there's far better ways to get cyanide!"

Cody: "Turning cherry pits into cya--" KZfaq: *stares Cody: "Turning cherry pits to stuffs that dissolves gold

How come my chemistry professors never told us we could set up our apparatus by snapping our fingers and clapping our hands? We wasted SO MUCH TIME in lab over this!

Cody learned the magic of a static camera view, manual exposure, and seamless cuts, in this video. I am so proud of you dude.

“Even then you shouldn’t do it. There a far better ways to get cyanide” 😂😂😂😂 this is the KZfaq I like

"You don't need to breath this" Proceeds to use a coffee grinder to bust open pits.

"...and even then you probably shouldnt do it." Thanks Cody!

Cody's jump cut magic never fails to put a smile on my face :)

I initially thought you were a wizard at chemistry, but after seeing how you transferred the materials into the reaction vessel, I see that you're an actual wizard.

Next Video: "Recovering the Gold" Cody drinks the solution and $hits out a gold bar. Don't change that channel folks. You DON"T want to miss this episode. Thanks for the very informative videos Cody. You know the drill....Stay awesome.

The randomness of these techniques rivals a Vsauce video. "What is the weight of a shadow?" "Today I'm going to extract dynamite from milk."

Man, Cody, I love your channel so much. Small things like your general sense of humor, your dedication to ideas like saving cherry pits, and the cut to you showing the Prussian Blue in daylight are endearing qualities that I really appreciate. Even when the content isn’t exactly applicable to my life (lol), it’s educational and entertaining nonetheless. Good stuff, dude!

I'll always appreciate that he puts the chemical reactions in clear text on the screen, even if I lost the knowledge on how to read them after high school organic chem. Maybe someday i'll understand what they mean again.

Cody is a blessing. I know nothing about chemistry but something about him is so interesting that I keep watching even if he is speaking gibberish to me.

Don't walk by cody's house when he's sciencing, might get a waft of what he's cookin. Thinking of that you might want to check your front sidewalk you might have a pile of dead neighbors that were walking their dog at the wrong time, just a thought lol.

Cody: Even then you probably shouldn’t do it. Me: Awe Cody really cares about our safety Cody 1 sec later: Far better ways to get cyanide. 💀💀💀💀😂

KZfaq Algorithims: Scary man has science stuff and uses science words. Demonitized!

Most seeds in the family Rosaceae, mainly from the genus malus (Apples), pyrus (Pears) and prunus (Cherries, almonds, etc.) among others. Sweet almonds and sweet apricots still have the amygdalin. You'd have to eat several bushels of almonds and a little less than that in sweet aps. The seeds aren't anywhere near as bad in Rubus (Raspberry, blackberry, thimbleberry, boysenberry, etc) and Fragaria (Strawberry). Yes, all of the fruits listed are related albeit somewhat distantly, in the rose family.

Any chance you can do the same with frankincense or myrth?

Normal person: Yummy Cheery Cody: Yummy cyanide Love ur channel

I have a learning problem: The more time goes by, the more I feel an urgency to learn everything. And the more I realize I'll never have learned enough...adding to the urgency of learning more. Thank you for sharing!

Prussian blue is Also utilized to check for planarity of mechanical pieces. You put a couple of mls of motor oil on the comparison plane (which u know is flat), then u take a piece of paper or fabric, dip said cloth in the pigment, spread the pigment and motor oil on the comparison plane, grab the Component that u need to check, put it flat against the plane and move it around just a bit to get the pigment to Stick onto the surface. Where it's blue you know it's flat, where It isn't you know that u have a depression. Or as another example, IT Can Also be utilized to check if you got the correct shimming for coupling crown and pinion of a gearbox (diff). (I've done so just a month Ago, old Fiat Stil runs, lol) Greetings from Italy

So dressing the cherry pits as an aluminium wizard helps the process, eh?

The question is can you resolidify gold using pistachios. 😁

News just in: A large flock of birds flying over Utah has fallen from the sky seemingly due to Cyanide poisoning. Local chemist Cody Reeder states that clearly someone has been releasing the chemical into the environment, though has no idea who would do such a thing. The investigation is ongoing.

His lab experiments do work, I followed his examples for the time machine he had on a previous video post and it worked. So far I just use the time machine to trade stocks and it has worked very well for me. I guess KZfaq made the video vanish because it is no longer viewable. But I’m glad I took the opportunity to make my time machine when I had the chance.

I think I remember reading that there’s enough cyanide to kill you in just two ground cherry stones. But I might have made that memory up.

I like the editing tricks with the time skips. I know they are nothing new, but I am a sucker for that sort of thing.

Been watching Cody ever since the greenhouse plants with no soil but water and using sunlight to charge car battery. Never seems to bored me but very interesting ideas.

Finally! A clean method I can dispose of all this useless gold scrap I have lying around. Very informative and interesting. Thank you!

Love the clap cuts 😂, Keep it up. Also could you try and take out cyanide from blueprints. It's pretty concentrated. Edit. Just finished watching and saw you mentioned it 😂.

Only Cody would have hydrochloric acid in a spray bottle hanging around the house. Great video!!!

I'm always amazed by your creativity with chemistry. Great video

Wow, I haven’t watched Cody in a while and the production quality has really improved! Great stuff

Cody I’m still confused as to why this video isn’t monetized.

There is a huge pile of cherry pits that's been sitting around near the Juab county dump for years now, probably leaching a bunch of cyanide into the ground. Anyway, instead of saving your own pits, you could have probably just picked up a couple of bucketsful in Nephi.

is it just me or is his stuff not showing up on sub tab?

Entertainingly enough, I found my way here after reading an old cookbook that gave a recipe for cherry stone infused vodka - immediately my brain said "Wait, bad idea. Must look up safety of this". And here I am.

A good way to bump a person off without leaving a paper trail or video evidence behind when buying Cyanide. LOL

Next up...Distilling Platinum with Unicorn Horns!

I can just imagine inviting Cody round for dinner and he offers to help by washing the dishes. Ten minutes later you go into the kitchen and there he is making dynamite from the contents of your kitchen cupboards

This is why I like this channel. It doesn't just show the reactions, but shows the steps involved in producing chemicals without just ordering them all online. Plus good science. 😎

Why do you have so many cherry pits? Are you dissolving gold?? *Thinks for a second* *"dissolving gold"* "YEEEEEAH let's go with that."

“You guys should not do this...ok step one”

When Cody is worried with safety you know is something dangerous

I really like the edits in this video. The snaps and claps transitions are pretty entertaining.

Fun fact: Cody’s Lab’s real name is Cody Slab.

Just nit picking here. Though apples also have cyanogenic glycosides in them (Amygdalin) they are pome fruits not stone fruits.

I have a son your age up at Washington University teaching math while getting his phd....he watches you quite a bit and I can say I'm sure your parents are very proud of you as I am of him. Keep the videos coming.

I usually don't like jump cuts like that, but these are done well. They're done in places that would be somewhat boring to watch, and it makes the transition smoother.

@2:09 this old Tony did some magic.

sou you should not do it, EXCEPT if you are NileRed

Best comparison of physical comparison vs chemical comparison. I honestly thought the secondary container would have a purer CN content but the primary was stronger. Thanks Cody!

Add a fresh air vent to the back of your box to promote a convection style draft which will direct your airflow away from the glassware.

I wish my glassware would snap together with a clap of my hands...

Can you do a video on how you refined the cherries to just pits

I love the claps/snaps/etc.. Some people don't do it right, or they don't make it funny, but every time you do it is just right!

They dump cherry pits by the ton on their property behind a cherry processing plant. The ground water around that area is probably polluted beyond imagination now. I know there are new houses near by and swamp land across the road. There are also a few homes across the road from the property. There used to be chicken barns there 60 years ago. Those burned down. I doubt anyone bothers checking the contents of the water there.

1:45 Science is easy when you have magic to help!

Every time you say alright everyone i remember that you did breathing all the noble gases

There's still something really really funny about Cody of all people telling you not to try it at home, it's either really ironic or it means you really shouldn't try it at home cuz Cody is crazy and Cody almost always tries it at home.

I have been watching a program on Quest/Discovery "Aussie Gold Hunters". It shows one group which built a big mound of dirt which has sprinklers on top spraying cyanide which peculates through the mound and catches the gold in solution, which is then recovered with some kind of carbon filters.

The title of this video is one of the most "Cody's Lab" things I've read in a while lmao

Demonitized, channel strike, because knowledge that you can get from your library is too scary for advertisers

Prussian blue is also a pigment used in artist paints. The most prominent example is Van Gogh's Starry Night. I had no idea how it was made. Thanks Cody!

It seems as if you had a lot of fun with the video editing. I love it! Your videos are always so interesting.

Years ago, I accidentally dropped my gold ring into a beaker of aqua regia and it dissolved. That was the pits :(

"Now time for the taste test"

Every time I snap or clap to set up my beakers and materials my chemistry set just stares at me judgmentally. Hopefully I can become this skilled with chemistry one day.

The edits on this video were a very nice added touch!

_If you're reading this:_ *The FBI wants your location*

"Lets get this into the reaction vessel" *tink!.... I half expected cody to say "NICE! m'kay"..

He knew he would do this a year in advance, that's why he saved them

you're video cuts look really good and professional, i like the quick cuts.

If this can dissolve the gold, can you re-extract that gold from the mixture? Let's say if you were trying to remove gold from circuit board parts, and wanted to collect the gold into one mass. Id imagine this would not be an efficient way to do it, but if you sought to do so, would you be able to?

Misread the title as dissolving gold with cat piss

I like that magic hand clap technique you're using in this video

I've watched your videos since the bee farm and before I love your voice and the way you go about mistakes and experiments.

Cody's version of a Cynide and Happiness short.

Cydane and happines has to make a sort with you

Great video Cody! loved the new cut\edit dynamic, your videos just keep getting better, educational and super fun. Im a law major, but loved chemistry in high school, seeing your videos just makes me extremely happy!

Sounds happy and chirpy in intro, 5 seconds later, in an ominous voice, mentions cyanide. That escalated quickly lmao

So the smell of roasted almonds is the smell of hydrogen cyanide?

"Even then you shouldn't do it...there are far better ways to get cyanide." trying to make it myself sounds like it has a lower chance of killing me - especially since I'm not a chemist

Did not understand a single word in this video as I'm a noob when it come to chemistry but I feel your are an excellent teacher.

"Even then you shouldn't do it. 'Far better ways of getting cyanide." What a nice chap.

I noticed you call it "Nasty liquid" multiple time. Is that to avoid some sort of channel strike?

And what was the purpose of disolving the gold?

6:33 "Ooh yes, I say we do have it" You sound like a fancy old gentleman

I love the new method of making equipment appear

Next up, Dissolving Water with Dead Rats

i would like to know how much cyanide you can extract with this method, any idea of how many mol you got from those pits?

Wow editing tricks, fantastic. I never thought I’d see this channel getting clever with the camera.

Every new upload I'm amazed of having such interesting videos on youtube. Thanks Cody!
