  • LSD you can find without chatgpt. You need a fungus from a plant which is pretty dangerous to harvest, once you’re past that step though it’s not too hard to synthesize I’ve heard? But it’s also apparently a very light sensitive reaction so kind of finicky.

    I’ve never done it but my organic chemistry professor honestly would have. We asked and he just said it was hard not no lol








  • You know how you have to buy tires every few years because they “go bald”? As in, they’ve lost that material that was once tread? That material isn’t just disappearing, it flies off the tires in the form of tiny particles that are in the air and water. It’s actually really toxic too, way more than other plastics. Fun fact EV tires are even more toxic.

    Source: I work in a toxicology lab studying microplastics.



  • I mean, from this thread it shows people kinda remember stuff from those classes, but are missing a lot. Which is understandable, people left school and didn’t use that information, it doesn’t make you stupid.

    But then you think, oh yeah! I remember how to make electricity, I need copper and an iron rock! So you spend all this time trying to manufacture some relatively thin copper wire, iron would probably be a little easier to find, wrap it around and then you’re like… Okay what went wrong? Annnnd you can’t remember you actually needed a magnet and you gotta spin it.

    Then do you remember learning how to store it? Connect it to anything useful? Maybe kinda, but extrapolate the first situation to every topic ever and that’s what you’d get, half baked ideas that you don’t really remember the specifics of. And the specifics really actually matter lol.

    My boyfriend literally worked full time through his entire time in college which only covered rent, food, bare necessities, nothing leftover to cover books or tuition. He graduated magna cum laude, straight A student but he didn’t get any scholarships. Stayed up till 1 or 2 working at restaurants all week, woke up for 9am classes, both of which he had to bike to because he didn’t live on campus or at home like you.

    You did experience the exception. Plenty of people make just as many and * way more* sacrifices than you and it doesn’t get them nearly as far.

    Murder investigations can take years to get the person responsible on for trial even when in hindsight the evidence makes it seem obvious who did it.

    This isn’t a murder obviously but it is multiple messy messy cases with lots of moving delicate parts that as people who have never done a criminal investigation can’t even imagine. I wouldn’t want to rush into a case and end up bungling it because I didn’t take my time.
