The sneezing agent story had me absolutely dying with laughter

Back in 1996 I used paradise A LOT. So much that I got used to it. Kind of liked it even.

However, I got burnt on it so I didn't really know that I stank horribly to everyone else for like 6 months.

Also, it's kinda cool that if your shoes stink, you can fix that with a little vodka.

@@phizcwhat can’t you fix with a little vodka

Wow, when a smell is so bad it triggers your fight-or-flight response

Butyric acid doesn't really smell that bad

We had butyric acid under a glass dome in our school, and one day when our teacher wasn't at school we decided to lift up that dome. It wasn't a surprise smell, we live in farm region, with a lot of cows, so we knew what the smell was the second it reached our noses. It wasn't so bad, I mean, we all smelled cow poo at least once in our lifetime, but it was LINGERING there and we had to open all of our windows and turn on old vent shelf (I forgot what it's called in English, as well in my native language lmao) so the smell would go away as fast as possible

I'd rather deal with bad smelling things than things that can kill me with no warning

​@@cooldude7301if you're lucky enough you get to deal with ✨both at the same time✨

It’s when they don’t smell bad, that’s when you’re gonna have a worse time than someone in the bathroom on Taco Tuesday shrieking as the chocolate demons coat the walls

Radiation is fun, you feel fine and then you just die.

no you don't "just die". You can suffer for months before dying@@euchale

I like butyric acid in cheese but I specifically dislike the taste of Hershey's

IS THAT WHY I HATE HERSHEY'S?! 🤯

Yeah hersheys always leaves my throat feeling burned a bit and it doesnt taste all that good

@@welporajackwelp4899 I always compared it to chocolate-flavoured acid reflux, lmaooooo.

It's because instead of using powdered milk, they use real milk (if I remember correctly). The real milk kinda spoils or rather cheese-ifies in the chocolate, so you get butyric acid. Non-Hershey milk chocolate just tastes like sugar to me, I actually prefer the sour cream flavor, as gross as it sounds. But I'd rather have dark chocolate, period. Milk chocolate is what you settle for when dark chocolate isn't available

You are Evil !

Time to decide whom would you like to watch sneezing 😂

Already exists look up something called liquidass

@@MandrakeFernflower I've been a victim of liquid ass but what will really add spice is the sneezing agent

new pepper spray just dropped

Yeah I don't understand why people hate butyric acid so much

Why is it toxic? I'm just a simple Schmoe Joe

@@fresanegra77 probably for the same reason H2S and H2Se are toxic, inhibiting cellular respiration.

@@fresanegra77 pnictogen hydrides are all horribly toxic because your body is an idiot and thinks the electrons in sulfur, selenium, and tellurium are the electrons from oxygen in water. oxygen is the top entry in the pnictogen group and, as you're probably well aware, H2O is a very abundant molecule in the body. H2S occurs naturally in us in small amounts as a signalling molecule as well. when large amounts of exogenous H2S (or even miniscule amounts of H2Se or H2Te) are inhaled, it rapidly permeates the tissues of your airways and into your mucus membranes. here, it gets taken up where water would, and it quickly starts interacting destructively with cells and their microstructures. it's basically like replacing the water in your engine with sodium silicate solution where as it tries to operate normally, the H2S or H2Se or whatever you've inhaled are just rocking around doing whatever they want nearly completely immune to metabolism, catabolism, or excretion. H2S in excess quickly paralyses respiratory muscles and then causes downstream neurological impairment to the extent that inhaling 2000PPM of H2S with *one breath* is enough to cause unconsciousness and, if unattended, rapid death. H2Se and likely H2Te as well are both so monstrously pungent at such low levels that I don't really think it'd be possible to withstand a genuinely dangerous atmosphere of it long enough to receive systemic toxicity but levels of H2S that are only slightly above the perceptive levels will actually deaden the olfactory nerve to its smell. one of the most common death scenarios associated with hydrogen sulfide inhalation is workers will smell it for a few moments, and then quickly be unable to smell it again. often this results in the assumption that the leak or whatever is causing the release of H2S has been solved, and the concentration builds up until the affected people don't even realize they have tunnel vision and can barely stand up.

@@fresanegra77Heavy metals are good at blocking nerves from my understanding.

H2Te is evil smelling, like H2Se but with a hint of garlic and burnt toast..😮

Only a couple other chemicals ever had the same sort of dust reaction - solid lithium aluminum hydride and 1,4-benzoquinone

​@@That_ChemistI've had the same working with benzoquinone, also had a lot of nose bleeds when i was working with it which im fairly sure was related

@@That_Chemist Benzoquinone makes sense, it’s an irritant. Chloroacetone is too a lachrymatory agent. But it seems its catechol cousin is more potent at irritating noses.

Catechol-based, the molecule reminds me of urushiols, the allergens present in poison ivy, probably worse, given it can permanently bind amino acid residues with the chloroacetone part?

💀

That sounds wonderful. I would buy that and wear it as a perfume

I had to pop the lid off one of the under sink ones after it had sat for several months because the place had been closed.

Surely it can't be that bad

Grease trap is way up there on my list of worst smells.

I never noticed that until the Europeans called it to my attention. I can now taste it but it doesn't bother me. Hershey's milk chocolate is really Hershey's buttermilk chocolate. This is not particularly off putting to me and I'm sure it's intentional. But if you were expecting whole fresh milk and you got buttermilk you would, um, hesitate. Cheap microwave popcorn is perfectly edible to me but my microwave is ruined for days by the smell. Whisky / Whiskey can also contain diacetyl, this can be OK or a flaw depending on how much there is. Most distillers try to limit diacetyl.

There's nothing wrong with vomit chocolate. Yum

sneeze spray

BLEGHHH WTFF 💀💀💀💀💀💀

They're the same people usually, anyone into feet would be into armpits bc the smell he mentioned is in both places. Anywhere with sweat has that smell. Plus, pits don't step on the ground, so in my opinion it's a less weird thing to be into.

I actually have a selenium rectifier! I used it with an old vacuum tube filament transformer and a random (modern) 12V-to-USB adapter to charge my phone a few years ago. Thankfully the rectifier never blew up during the time I was using it, so I was spared from the legendary stench.

Here's a video showing the rectifier in action: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMqDi8qZztabhKs.htmlsi=gtqA0nsMz2GqzxjR&t=496

its sort of like if you took the first sensation of when you are about to vomit and it just stayed like that for the whole day

jesus, man.

​@@That_Chemistthat almost made me vomit. Now I know your game - I am onto you.

It's just smells

I like isoamyl acetate :)

@@That_Chemist >:(

I hope there aren't any bee nests/hives near that lab.

it smells to me like Ph-C(triplebond)-C-Br almost exactly

When I was a kid, I used to ride these old wooden roller-coasters. They had steel wheels, rolling on steel plated tracks, and they kept everything lubed with a sticky grease with a sulphureous smell. 30 years later, when handling gear oil for the first time, I immediately recognized the smell as the one from my youth at the amusement park. So, gear oil smells like antique roller-coasters.

Gear oil is often sulfur based. Not a fan. Modern Gasoline smells pretty bad too. It smelled better until about 2000 or so, so much that some people used to really like the scent.

What does DXM HBr taste like?

@@oitthegroit1297 intensely bitter

​​​@@oitthegroit1297It's very bitter, but Denatonium Benzoate is far stronger. I'd rather take straight DXM HBr powder than deal with licking a Switch game.

Pretty easy to come by , seems every chemical supply outlet has it in stock and at varyingly reasonable prices . Considering it's potential for creative misuse and outright blatant fuckery , this chemical is scarier than most of the stench agents mentioned , especially if you have diarrhea .

That's what I traced it down as.

honestly you can take the stuff that you find to be useful and discard the overly complicated stuff - you might as well derive value without worrying about all the obscure stuff that is harder to connect with

isoamyl alcohol is sort of yuck as well

What do they smell like?

Awfully sweet, with a hint of bananas, like some kind of car paints.

armpit banana

Yup used butanol to recrystalize monomethylamine hydrochloride to separate out the diethyl and trimethylamine hydrochloride. It was sorta sickly sweet. If you combine it with butyric acid it makes butyl butyrate which smells sort of a mix of artificial grape flavor and butterscotch candy.😅

indeed it is

I think for most of these, déjà senti would be more appropriate.

I was surprised as well 😂 any experience with 3-Ethynylpyridene? I hope it smells quite fishy while also causing severe lacrimation 😂

Why do U hate fish

@@cooldude7301 cuz fish ain't fresh if you can easily smell it from a mile 😂

how people get that smelly i will never know

like i get you can be used to your own smell but is there no limit?

I've never met a human that smells that bad, but I can confirm that commercial kitchen grease traps smell very very unique. Had to have a tactical cigarette after smelling it

@@ItsRubyGD he seemed surprised about it. His excuse was his clothes but clothes can only get that smelly if you’re that smelly.

@@bandit5676 he must have been that smelly for a very long time to become noseblind to it

Yum

I once sprayed myself with a significant quantity of it and octanol while making a mix of amines at my previous job. It was not great, and took numerous washings to get out of my clothes, but I'll take it over amines any day!

wow that sounds terrible, I hope I never get it on my clothes. I haven't smelled that many amines but I guess I was just traumatized by people being careless with decanol on a daily basis.

NileRed detected

That or dead and rotting salmon, not pleasant to the point of almost suffocating.

Smells delicious

Thank you :)

I'd say menthol and rotting fish. Speaking of which, I need to make some more pyridine. Not looking forward to it.

I say it smells like alien rotting meat.

A rotting fish that a hobo pleasured himself with. Then he tried to hide his shame by dousing it with gasoline, only to find he didn't have a lighter. He then just kind of wandered off leaving the rotting cummy gasoline-soaked mess there.

I love gasoline and I love fish

@@cooldude7301 not this kind of fish you don't. Amine are produced when fish rots, no fresh fish should smell like this.
