i’m glad strange hermits practicing alchemy hasn’t quite died out as a human phenomenon

As a biochemist I find this homebrew "fuck around & find out" type of science very entertaining.

I dont think its legal to keep living humans in a jar. As soon as the lid is sealed, its considered lidnapping. Being lidnapped is a jarring experience. Prosecutors may have an air tight seal on this case. Crimes aside, very captivating. Hopefully he never o-puns the jar, he might find himself in one hell of a pickle.

This is the 4chan version of a kid mixing all the shampoos in the bathroom to see what happens

As someone with a degree in biochemistry, this was like watching a toddler sitting on an egg to get a pet bird

If this guy was born in the 1300s he would be a famous scientist and philosopher

Perhaps, he continued. Perhaps, he perfected it. Perhaps, Adam, Perhaps he walks today. Perhaps Adam is among us.

"Dad, How was i born ?" *"You were born in a jar 💀"*

Just when you think the internet couldn't do anything worse with jars

Imagine your kid proclaims that you’re a grandparent now… and proceeds to bring out a jar full of mold 💀

The fact that, even past the days of prominent alchemy, we still get to see the hermits preform weird nasty little experiments in attempts to create homunculi is pretty interesting. It's the Flesh Version of mixing shampoos and soaps to make "potions".

As someone who went to school for genetics, this idea is incredibly goofy. As a person with respect for art and fanciful ideas, I like this guy. Talented writer as well.

It terrifies me to think I could talk to a coworker or a classmate and then he'd go home and do something like this

The story of Adam is genuinely Oscar level storytelling. It has a 3 part act- the start of the experiment, the extra attempts and changes, and then the conclusion. It even has a fucking thought provoking message. The hero struggles with loneliness and attempts to create life, struggles to complete his task, but while attempting to create life, he improves his own, and ends the experiment due to no longer needing to create a companion having found companionship elsewhere. QUITE LITERALLY the real Adams were the friends we made along the way.

"HELLO I AM PROFESSOR PSYCHOTIC, IM MAKING AN EGG WITH MY DNA IN MY EEEVIL LABORATORY!"

Now that I've watched this, I definitely think you SHOULD do a deep dive on the homunculus videos. Apparently the Russian guy in the gas mask is dead now, too; not because he was drafted and killed, he passed away several years before the war from unrelated causes.

I find it ironic that the most neglected experiment he had was the most successful in the sense that whatever the hell is in that mold jar was still continuing with the life he gave it even though abandoned. The Mold Jar exist out of Spite.

Every one of Whang's videos that involve jars send a shiver down my spine

I’mma be real, the little birthday he threw for Adam was really adorable

As deranged as he might sound at first. I think he would probably be a better father than Frankenstein was

He really *poured himself* into this project

"Smellin' funky and lookin' weird" could describe so, so many things on this channel.

16:13 his conclusion of his experiment was the date I was born 😭

At the very least, I completely get what the guy means about his Adam project giving him an escape from his lonliness and providing a sort of personal breakthrough. People are very good at pack-bonding, moreso when we lack other beings to bond with; when I first started gardening I was in a really rough place in home life and doing this gave me something to focus on day after day. When that first seed sprouted I was ecstatic, when it withered due to too much sun I was heartbroken. I tried multiple different seeds in an attempt to keep them alive and I succeeded, all except two little soybean plants. Despite my best efforts, these things never grew more than 5 leaves and never got more than a few inches tall. They were spindley and weak by standards of normal growth, but I did everything I could to keep them alive. They lived a full life, all the way til winter, because I refused to give up on them; I had days where I told myself "they're just stupid plants, they're going to die and thats just the reality of the matter" - I wanted to neglect them because I didn't want to keep putting in the effort for a couple plants I knew were doomed (both because thats how winter works and because they were stunted from the start). I never did give up on them though. All the way to the first frost, rain or shine, I did everything in my power to keep those plants and the others I was growing safe - they were something to focus on and I couldn't just leave them out there to wither on their own. I remember we had a really bad hail storm come out of nowhere one day with torrential rain; I rushed outside with a mattress comforter on my back because I didnt know how else to protect them. The pumpkins took some hits, leaves got shredded, but they sprung back in the following months; those soybeans survived the hail unharmed though. I was literally standing out in freezing rain and hail, ankle deep in a sudden deluge, all for a 3x4 plot of dirt with some stunted plants in it. After the hail let up I got on my hands and knees digging trenches for the excess water to drain away (it flooded the area so I had to work fast. We live in a desert so flooding never entered my mind when I chose the garden spot). Again, all this for a couple stunted soybean plants I knew would never produce pods. In the end I was right, the soybeans never grew beyond that point, but somehow they still lived an entire year despite their bad genetics; through sheer force of will (theirs and mine), they lived a full life - it seems dumb, but I loved those little things. They were the most persistent little plants that somehow beat the odds. When they finally did wither I went ahead and pulled them up by the roots: those roots were the shallowest, weakest roots I have ever seen. The hairs on my arms and legs were longer than the roots, and still somehow these things had lived as long as they did - it was so absurd I couldn't help but be amazed. So yeah - the guy in the video pack bonded with his science experiment and I pack bonded with some genetic misfit soybean plants. In both cases, the experience offered a reprieve from what we were going through and gave a sort of companionship we were both apparently in need of. Life can be weird like that, but having personally gone through this stuff: I get it. Sometimes you just need something to pour your heart into and return to every day; knowing its future relies on your consistency gives you a sort of responsibility to tend to it, and if you don't then you experience very real feelings of guilt - no matter how illogical it might seem. Adam may not have produced life, but it gave him a companion; my soybeans may have been ill-suited to life, but my efforts gave them the chance they otherwise might never have had. In both cases its the sort of thing you'll remember years later because of the unintentional impression it left on you.

I find it poetic how the jar liquids almost seem alive as long as future's father remains using them as a coping mechanism, only to go back to drying out once he had time to get better, like golems returning to earth once they had fulfilled their purpose. Then there's the literal jar of pure miasma existing out of pure spite.

He leaves the jar in the dark for months only to one day hear a noise, he checks the dark room and a little meatball is crawling towards him an abomination, screaming with no mouth, cursing his horrid, painful existence, begging for his father to bring him death FuturesFather cries, shocked at his crime again God, he wants to relieve Adam but he can´t kill his own son, he´s too proud of himself to do it He puts Adam in a new jar, apologizes repeatedly, and leaves the room he quietly considers updating his blog while reaching for the gun in the dark, forever, sits a screaming Adam, and a smiling Adam2

Can we ban jars from the internet please

I actually love this kind of insanity. It's how things get discovered. Some things sound fucking nuts when they're started, but become wonderful inventions soon enough. Not saying this isn't odd, it's very odd, but damn this shit's cool.

"Adam... Was evaporating" hit me so hard. I genuinely laughed for about 15 minutes.

as gross as it is, i think it’s weirdly wholesome that human curiosity has remained basically unchanged since the dawn of time

I think it's absolutely criminal that this tale has a conclusion that affected me emotionally as much as it did.

This sounds like something out of a crazy scifi novel, a man "creates life" in search of companionship and i guess you could say spiritual healing or love and ends up going on a crazy journey with this creature before turning his life around and realizing he has to abandon it for greener pastures.

Imagine being normal and not knowing the darkest horrors of humanity

Fella set out to create life but just managed to create a level 4 biohazard

Oh man, this was a whole rollercoaster. I love how emotional the ending was and just how artistic his words are. Crazy stuff, but amazing to look at nonetheless.

I really appreciated that he threw a one month part for Adam. It gives a wholesome air to what would be just another story about a gross jar.

I’m disappointed in myself as a neuroscientist with cell culture experience I found myself coming up with so many suggestions for this dude while listening

"One hair with its root still intact" Ah yes, that hair root is gonna make all the difference in this.

11:13 "Change the world" was Adam's final message

I let this play during a halloween party I was hosting at my apartment. All the guests were sickened but curious at it.

Still not the worse jar related activity on this channel

Imagine being born from a jar

This is the first Whang vid Ive watched where I had to actively avoid looking at the screen to get through it

This guy has the bundles curiosity of a kid making potions from stuff they found under the sink

Actually this is the most commendable jar story. He's actually curious and wants to learn and is actively making his own observations from what he can see, only using replies on the forum as suggestion. I can respect that.

This guy's scientific process and logic is just the gunk equivalent of those potions you made as a kid in the shower by mixing soap and shampoo and stuff

imagine this: you have been given consciousness, you have no idea what is happening around you, all you know is that you are inside of a glass jar.

Adam almost made me cry

Whenever I think "Tales from the Internet" can't get anymore crazy - they prove me wrong.

at this point whang could make a playlist purely out of jar stories. a jar of jars, if you will

I love your "tales from the internet" keep doing what youdo becuz its SO fascinating - thank you for branching out on these insane topics -- i appreciate all you do :D

I am always amazed sponsors agree to being on these videos

15:59 One time my sister and I kidnapped a bunch of bugs from the backyard and piled so many of them into a jar that they were piled and crawling on top of eachother, and would feed them old bread once a day. They would eat it in like, 20 minutes. Then we forgot to feed them. Then we came back like, five total days into the project and it was just a pile of desecrated bread, dust and dead bugs fossilized together into one big mass. Our punishment was cleaning the jar, only to have it thrown out because nobody wanted to use it after that.

Finally, the Jar trilogy is complete

Finally, the American version of the Russian Homunculus episode

Dr Psychotic from Smiling Friends

My toxic trait is that I genuinely think I could make a homunculus out of my own blood sweat and tears.

This guy should've just done the biome in the flask thing. That thing where you get a big jar, jug, or flask, then add like some dirt water and poke some holes in the top. I can't exactly remember the ingredients but that's much cooler than... this..😅

When it was a dark gelatin, was when he should've stuck it in a vacuum chamber and sealed it so he could launch it deep into outer space for the aliens to continue the project.

Mucus nucleus sounds like a band

The lengths some people go out to hoard bodily fluids and mold on these sites is just something else

"prickling my finger is too hard but destroying my gums, now that´s the better option"

13:15 Oh, this man definitely IS "shooting powder" but in a whole other way than you meant it...

I love this story, I feel that this guy has a very endearing motivation

What an unusually wholesome video about a jar guy.

Fun fact, this is actually how Adam 22 was born and is the reason he is the way he is. Edit: I'd like to think this actually is Adam 22. He got left in the cupboard and forgotten and slowly grew over many yesrs. And now he's come back from the future to find his jar daddy.

The alchemical process is alive and well. I balked, I cried, bravo!

Never seen your videos or channel before...but the 'stache is awesome my dude 😂❤

I don't know how to feel about the fact that this exact kind of bizarre, uneducated curiosity is how we as a species developed scientific study in the first place. Or that this story ended up being genuinely interesting to me. Not to mention heartwarming in a way 😅

I fucking hate my brain sometimes. Every time one of the jars was shown, that evil little chunk of meat whispered, "Thirsty?" And then my imagination started going to work. And now I want to drink something strong enough to remove paint.

Hate it hate it, this is science distilled. There is nothing more pure than experimenting just for the pursuit of knowledge

My favorite part of this video is imagining Whang having to read this whole thread, going on this entire journey with op and their experiment, just so he could share it with us. I respect him for his meticulous dedication to his work. 🤘

If there’s a story involving a jar and some kind of human excretions you know Whang is gonna cover it

This is not scientific like the russian homunculus experiment. This is alchemy. Love it.

i just moved to a shared house with crappy walls and yours are the only videos i have to put headphones on for

Absolutely love that I've been here through the whole transition of Justin having to tiptoe around sensitive subjects for fear of demonetization to where he can now sustain himself through sponsors and pretty much just say whatever he wants.

Trying to create life using household chemicals is what usually leads to missing limbs in a best case scenario and being turned into a suit of armor at worst.

Little known fact, whang is actually the final product of Adam.

As a person named Adam. This makes the video more cursed

Jars and poop are what fuels the Internet.

"Man honey" was something i could live without hearing

Dude made a level 4 biohazard, but in all seriousness, this is actually more wholesome then the other internet jar situations.

This is, uironically, absolutely art. Pretty good art too imo.

At first I admit that I was laughing at this modern day alchemist dude trying to create life as how the middle ages thought that life came to be(tossing random shit and thinking that it might create a Lil human being) , but then at the end it made me feel like this dude really needed to feel less alone and basically created a project to keep its mind occupied, even if it was a gross kind of way, good for them though

Honestly this is the kind of early science experiments that I think old Natural philosophers from the Greco-Roman era would have run. Just trying stuff and seeing what happens.

I love your Wonderful inspiring reporting. Your fairly deadpan delivery, so good 😂❤

The nut on the microscope SENT ME 🤣

The ending of this one feels a lot like that guy who married Hatsune Miku. Surprisingly wholesome and self-aware for someone engaging in such deranged behavior lol.

This man really celebrated the 1 month anniversary of his experiment like it was a child. Someone needs to make this guy a father for real

That was surprisingly wholesome 😢

That man was really crazy and it's very impressive on how far the mind of an individual can go to. Insane world we are living in.

You should host a Jar-Con

Honestly, I'm proud of the guy. He did what he set out to do, and he came out of it with a better mindset.

guy came and bled into a jar, mixed it, stuck a straw in it and thought he would get life, a true scientist.

Can you imagine being a psychiatrist and having this guy as a subject? It must feel like heaven. Or like that guy from The Human Centipede.

I’d love to see a video on the Russian homunculus experiment. I used to watch KZfaq videos of that as a kid and I grew very nostalgic for it. I remember sharing updates with my mom and grandma on the way home from middle school

this isn what I thought it was going to be, imagine somebody finding this in a jar like 200 years from now and they thinks its some sort of jam only to find this monstrosity in lab testing

Professor Psychotic is that you ?

this was… honestly kind of beautiful?
