I mean in chemistry you usually boil things in one of those glass tubes above a blue flamey boi so if you dont wiggle it the water could shoot out and actually burn something. But if you mix common kitchen salt with tap water and the teach hands out gloves and everything its like alright, I aint going to the beach more thats hella dangerous.

Dear chemistry teacher.
I learned a lot without realizing it might be important one day even though I didn’t pay attention at the time.
Decades later I was teaching the same thing in a tech school (temperature and pressure relations) and it all came back.
Just saying some kids are worth the effort=)

They’re on an alien planet that has unknown plants and animals which can be poisonous, the least they could do is cover their head instead of sniffing and touching poisonous plants.
Also, there’s this guy who takes smoke break as soon as they reached an alien planet and pisses on alien plants.

I always think of this when they use some sensor and go “Oh yeah there’s oxygen, let’s all remove our helmets and breath in the alien air, I am sure there are no dangerous pathogens or poisonous substances in the air!”. Goes both ways too, there would be just as big of a risk that our microbes and biological molecules are dangerous and can infect the local ecosystem.

We have the same picture!level 2One of my favourite memories of a Chemistry class was watching all of my classmates super carefully work with test tubes of an aqueous sodium chloride solution because they were scared that it would hurt if they got it on themselves.level 1 · 4h · edited 4hThey’re on an alien planet that has unknown plants and animals which can be poisonous, the least they could do is cover their head instead of sniffing and touching poisonous plants.Also, there’s this guy who takes smoke break as soon as they reached an alien planet and pisses on alien plants.level 2″wow, this cat laid a chocolate egg, let me eat it.”level 2That shit was so dumb.
