3. I feel like a vial of Thioacetone has the potential to be the greatest senior prank of all time.
4. what a looser .....i bet he still living whith his mother
5. This guy talks like a Ron Burgundy wannabe.
6. "The strength of that bond means that when two nitrogen atoms snap together they release a tremendous amount of energy"
   -Scishow 2014
   Scientist:hmmm
   20 yrs later
   Reporter:and here we are for first nitrogen bomb test on the martian surface near the old landing point of curiosity rover
   nitrogen bomb explodes and create 1 gigatons of energy that it blew a crater on mars bout 10 feet deep
   Mars:EARTH!!!
   Earth:mars why
   Mars:theres some doicky explodey explodey thingy is dropped in my FRIGGIN SURFACE AND I KNOW ITS FUCKING YOU
   CUZ YOU TEST MANY DOICKY EXPLODEY EXPLODEY THINGYS OKAY
   Mercury:geez mars
   Venus:ye we side with earth
   Sun:hame hame hame hame HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA sneezes lots of radiation to mars
   Earth and mars:SUNNNNN!!!
   Sun:srry I sneezed
   Earth:well thank god the humans on mars are on the other side
   Mars:well i guess im a test subject for doicky explodey explodey thingys
   The entire solar system:agreed
7. i think you like talking about chemicals
8. This video is more interesting than chemistry classes.
9. "The concrete... was on fire?!"
10. I thought botulinum toxin was the most toxic substance, with the lowest LD50. Is dimethyl cadmium more toxic?
11. Very good episode. Made me laugh
12. I Think That Why C2N14 Exploded By Nothing, If Any Air Was Blowing into The Room (It Was Climate Controlled), Then The Friction Chould Have Caused it To Go Explode.
13. I think I'd take the fart gas over the other ones but that's just me.
14. What's with there being so many German scientists discovering cool shit
15. How about links to seeing this stuff at work? It's all well and good to describe it but how about finding videos of cement on fire?
16. No B-roll? OK :'|
17. 3:02 Voice crack
18. What about FOOF? Dioxygen difluoride.
19. I feel like the host had his greatest time making this video
    and this chemicals seem interesting, I wanna test things with the- sees the second on the list
    NOOOPE nope no thanks
20. Thanks for watching and John I'll see you on Wednesday!
