Cherry-flavoured tear gas sounds like something Cave Johnson would force his top Aperture chemists to create

[@avokka]

​@d00gz_ asked gpt Cave Johnson: "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Aperture Science, where we turn nightmares into reality and dreams into lawsuits! Now, let me tell you something, folks. We're always pushing the boundaries of science, exploring the unexplored, and exploiting the exploited! And today, I've got a little proposition for you all that'll make your eyes water - and not just from the tear gas!" Cave Johnson: "You see, we've been making strides in non-lethal crowd control technology, because apparently, just shooting folks with bullets is 'inhumane' or some nonsense like that. So, what do we do? We get creative! We think outside the box, or in our case, outside the cube! Introducing... Cherry Flavored Tear Gas!" (He gestures dramatically to a slide showing a cherry-shaped tear gas canister.) Cave Johnson: "That's right, folks. Picture this: you're at a protest, the tension is high, the air is thick with dissent, and suddenly, the authorities unleash a cloud of our patented Cherry Flavored Tear Gas! Not only does it incapacitate you, but it also leaves you with a delightful aftertaste! And who doesn't love cherries, right?" (He pauses, waiting for applause that doesn't come.) Cave Johnson: "But wait, there's more! We've even developed different flavors to cater to everyone's tastes! How about blueberry for the pacifists, or maybe habanero for those spicy revolutionaries? The possibilities are endless, folks!" (He leans in closer to the audience, his tone conspiratorial.) Cave Johnson: "Now, I know what you're thinking - 'Cave, isn't tear gas already controversial?' And to that, I say, 'Bah! Controversy is just another word for publicity!' Trust me, folks, once we start marketing this stuff, people will be lining up to get a taste - literally!" (He straightens up, his enthusiasm infectious.) Cave Johnson: "So, who's with me? Who's ready to revolutionize riot control and make a mint while doing it? Remember, at Aperture Science, the only limit is your imagination - and maybe a few pesky ethics committees, but we'll worry about those later! Thank you, and let's make tear gas great again!" (He exits the stage to a mix of confused murmurs and hesitant applause, leaving the audience wondering if they should be excited or deeply concerned.)

[@NerdyStarProductions]

the fact that nile truly believed he had done everything perfectly, and it was only after he took a whiff that he realized he made tear gas instead of cherry flavour is exactly the reason why id be terrified of doing anything like this even if i knew it was theoretically safe.

[@Nitidus]

"Theoretically safe" is also a very relative term because the theory your work is based on might be more or less reliable as the papers in the end were still written by humans. Also, you thinking you did everything correctly doesn't mean you actually did. So "theoretically safe" assumes a perfect theory and practice without any mistakes, in which case it would indeed be completely safe. That's why you double and triple check absolutely everything if you're doing something potentially harmful or dangerous. Even if you get the reaction right, just a little bit of side product that didn't get washed out can seriously harm you, depending on what it is. But hey, that's why papers are published and why science has to be reproducible. The community can check your process and everything and correct any mistakes. The more brains there are that think about your ideas and practices, the closer we get from "theoretically safe" to "actually safe."

[@it_steatime]

Yes that's why I love chemistry especially organic chemistry. Because you can do everything in the paper you're supposed to do and do it as precisely as possible and yet you can get something absolutely different. Man I love chemistry

[@xarayac]

@@Nitidus I study chemistry, just so my words have some merit here. The HNMR, basically makes any impurities show up right away, since its super sensitive equipment (and also really fucking expensive), so after the HNMR graph looked good, (which it did, like literally textbook perfect), there was basically no risk at that point, and is just as safe as the stuff you buy in stores.

I would just take a similar procedure to what I was teaching and minorly screw them up, bad math, wrong amount, wrong order, wrong solvent, wrong technique, etc. The students had the entire 4 hour lab class to collectively try to figure out where the mistakes were made. But they were also physically doing related but not identical procedures at the same time. It taught multitasking, attention to detail, teamwork, and problem solving. And most importantly, just because someone wrote it down doesn't mean it's right. And it was super easy to grade for me since I didnt have to write new quizzes every other night. Just ctrl+c, backspace, and screw it all up
