all the meme sóybean shit aside, is there a way to set up a fun little (useful) chemistry setup like that at home? doesn't matter what it's for

sure I can do that
>>pass electric current thru it
in english doc
also something more complex than that would be appreciated.....

What exactly do you want to do? Is this for demonstration/teaching purposes or just to have some chem paraphernalia for your viewing pleasure

if you want to make drugs, don't
you're a retard when it comes to this shit

I think it's just some random meme video of a pretentious idiot making watery coffee the worst way possible
>>16276966
I'm not talking about drugs
just some fun where I need to practically go through a couple steps, use lab equipment maybe and procure something nice
by something nice it can be:
a drink (like tea or something because I don't drink cobbee)
I know some people make crystals (for viewing) at home
or a homemade fertilizer for plants
anything like that?
I thought this was the smart board, why can't you guys read my mind and tell me exactly what I want??

essential oils are pretty cool. look up steam distillation and soxhlet extraction
you could also make dyes if you're interested in real chemistry. I hear fluorescein is pretty easy to make, and many other exotic dyes share similar procedures.

this is a really good post because it's basically what I am looking for
>essential oils
yeah I might dive deeper into these and get started on that. something simple yet very practical
>make dyes
looks cooler and more complex which I'd prefer but I guess if you want more complex you start getting into stuff where you need a fume hood and more safety measures
also I don't see the use of making dyes (unless you'd sell them on a large scale)

I FUCKING LOVE SOXHLET EXTRACTION I DEVELOPED A METHOD THAT UTILIZES IT IN THE COMPANY I WORK FOR AND I STILL GET MAD BONUSES

You could also look into environmental testing, e.g. does your house have lead dust? is there arsenic in your soil? if so, how much? titrations can be quite pretty.
obviously you can just buy test kits, but if you make your own test strips it can be fairly involved

If you want to get into crystal growing, you should maybe take a look at https://www.youtube.com/@julasxziom

Steam distillation kits are quite affordable in the usual places. Watch some videos on it as well to not make dumb mistakes in the setup though.
>I don't see the use of making dyes (unless you'd sell them on a large scale)
Things themselves don't have to have material use. The process of making them, having fun and learning is in itself of value.
On the topic of dyes, you can make invisible ink from commercial dyes that glows under UV for example, and it can also be mostly done with grocery store chemicals. The concept is that some forms of stain removers contain dithionite, which reductively cleaves azo dyes (e.g. red 40) into their respective amines, which in some cases show fluorescence. Just look for procedures, it's fairly simple.

Yep! You can concoct jenkem.

rip
that usecase for dyes goes a bit further than I want
thanks for the ideas

no.

the best way to feel like you're doing chemistry without doing chemistry is to use flasks. Use erlenmeyer flasks and mixing flasks.
