Was looking into getting into wet plate photography. For that you need diethyl ether as a solvent. Went to local pharmacy and talked to one of the chemists. At first he was reaaaally hesitant when I asked them about whether they could sell me said chemical and you could almost see that thought bubble that said „This sounds sketchy af“. But then I explained my reasoning, the process that requires this type of solvent, the other substances involved and that I know the stuff is not the nicest chemical to work with etc. He then started relaxing and eventually said that he would be happy to sell me diethyl ether, because one, nobody would make that use case up on the spot, and two, he now believed that I knew what I was talking about. Eventually I never went down that route because some of the chemicals are really expensive and even though I love photography, I am not willing to bankrupt myself over it (more than I already have 😂).

I have a friend who worked as a chemist at a major university who told me that going to the US was a pain in the ass b/c they were always worried about him making drugs. Not that he would or has, just that he has the skill. Crazy. Just having the Chem PhD was enough to make it an issue.

10ml Erlenmeyer are a great addition to aquarium test kits, but they also make neat little liquid arrowheads apparently. I got contacted for ordering 24 of em back in '09. I had four aquariums and wanted to simply pull the water samples and sit down to do the tests.

I had a buddy in high school, with a very high IQ. He got kicked out of university for making TNT in the cem lab. His mom owned a bunch of forest land, which she sold all the timber from. He had a couple of thousand stumps he wanted to remove, and decided that blowing them up was teh best way to remove stumps. He found a recipe for TNT in the “Anarchist’s Cook Book”. It didn’t seem safe to make in the kitchen sink. So, he went to the lab to make it under a hood with bettter control of the conditions. A Prof saw a kid he didn’t recognize, and decided to check it out. The guy was book smart, but a social idiot. He actually, told teh Prof the truth, and explained the step chemistry. Ten minutes later he was in cuffs, and in the process of being removed front the university.

I bought a gas mask one time off ebay for a Halloween costume. It got sent to the wrong address and they needed up calling the cops after they opened it.

I was cloning gourmet mushrooms and all the info and techniques I was using was from psychedelic mushroom growing methods. Anyway, I needed isopropyl alcohol and had to get it from the pharmacy. I bought a few bottles and It was just way easier telling the pharmacist that I was sterilizing Ostridge egg incubators ( a lie ) than explaining I was growing mushrooms but not illegal mushrooms. As soon as I had a reason for my strange purchase he stopped being suspicious.

[@MsEyelinered]

I've noticed that Canada's policy about "sketchy chemistry," namely drugs, is kinda don't ask don't tell. It's currently the worldwide haven for research chems and sourcing precursors, even controlled psychedelics are easily available online right now. People have even tried open brick and mortar magic mushroom stores but they've ended up getting raided thus far.

Jesus christ, if you'd let him talk without interrupting the story would be much shorter.

[@spamuel98]

The uranium thing actually reminded me of a story I heard a while back. There was a high school kid, I think back in the 1980s, who was pretty much a savant; he sucked at dealing with people and most of his classes, but he was amazing at chemistry and engineering, and he managed to refine his own uranium in his backyard shed and set up a miniature nuclear reactor. Some time later, he ended up getting found out, and the police were called, and he actually got arrested and sent to prison because he made a nuclear reactor in his backyard while still in school. I need to look that up again, I can't remember his name. EDIT his name was David Hahn, and I was wrong about a few things; he didn't actually complete his reactor. He was trying to build a breeder reactor, and he got pulled over by police for something else, and they called federal officers when he warned them that some of the items in his car were radioactive. He didn't get arrested, but was sent for psychological evaluation, and later joined the military before dying in 2016 to drugs and alcohol.

[@slycooper1001]

ahh yes the nuclear boyscout he actually succeeded in building the breeder reactor but realised that he was actually creating plutonium and decided to disassemble it he only got found out after he got pulled over a bunch of hazmat agents cut apart the shed where he experimented with radioactive materials and they packed it all into plastic barrels and buried it in a location i don't quite remember the reason i know this was a long time ago when i was really young i thought that i could design a gamma ray blaster that could fire blasts of blue light like a deadly laser but later realised my idea would not work unless it was overly large that and if it got damaged in anyway it would kill you and anybody around you basically it would work like a mechanical demon core blaster except smaller then i went oh it would not travel like i thought and would not be effective at all if i was born in a early time you would probably be talking about my nuclear blundergun along side david hahn luckily i realised the dangers of my idea and stopped before i attempted to create a prototype

Back in the mid 90's, I went down to my local feed and seed and asked to buy 3 50 pound bags of Ammonium Nitrate, which immediately raised some eyebrows. The asked me my name, so I just gave them my first name. It took about 3 months for the phone call to ask me to come and pick-up my order. The guy at the conter told me they had to order a minimum shipment of 5 bags and if I wanted to purchase all five. I replied, no, I just need 3. Some crazy bought the other two bags and tried to blow-up the local federal building.
