This is my first post btw. Don't know if I should put this under discussion or venting but whatever.
So I saw this post under the main chemistry subreddit, and some dude was tryna find the right temperature required for two compounds to react. Now this seemed to be just about what you would find in a chemistry group, but when I went to the comments section, people were bashing on him and claiming to be able to see through his facade.
Now for context, apparently the reaction posted, if successfully carried out, would result in the production of CO gas which is a well known substance for ctb. So a lot of people were telling this dude to give it up (the jig is up
). Leave complex processes like this to the professional and just go seek mental help or something. And to be fair, they were justified in saying he should leave it to the experts as one of them explained that; in addition to CO gas being manufactured, there another somewhat explosive product that does not do well in high temperature (or something like that). So to avoid stories for the gods, just leave it to the experts.
Ignoring all that yapping, when I looked at the actual post and see the chemical equations, stoichiometry calculations, provisions for error and other stuff, I just couldn't help but be inspired. Funnily enough, it was because of this guy that I found out about this site.
If I do go out(always that % chance I'm immortal), I want it to be a bit unique and require some level of knowledge of chemistry. My best friend from highschool is good at chemistry and when he finds out how I went, I want him to be a little bit impressed. It doesn't really matter but why not?
When I ctb, I want it to be inspiring. Does that make sense?
