I had to break all my beakers.

I unknowingly damaged a bunch of my beakers and then mixed them back with my good ones. I then had no idea which ones were good or bad anymore, so I ended up having to sacrifice them all.

Nile talks about lab safety:    • Chemistry is dangerous.

    "not just for safety reasons, but also because it could potentially ruin an entire project" why does this feel like the science version of "You could be killed, or worse, expelled"?
  • @kevku2010
    "No open toed shoes allowed in lab." Wonder why.
  • @JB-qg2uc
    This happens in restaurants as well. Glasses start to get internal tensions resulting from washing them many times. Then, from time to time they just break to pieces randomly. If you use and wash them often, you need to replace them from time to time.

    I like to imagine the neighbors hearing this and telling their guests, "oh yea that's just the chemist next door, he gets upset at times..."
  • @empanada65
    "These beakers are unsafe and make me scared" pitches glass across the room into a box of broken glass
  • @ziqizeng6809
    NileRed saying: “Not just for safety reasons, but it could also potentially ruin an entire project” is the chemist equivalent to Hermione saying: “We could be killed. Or worse, expelled”
  • Nile has raised my expectations too high. I thought he was going to turn the broken beakers into lollipops or something equally impossible.
  • @exploshaun
    I feel like this could be a TED ED riddle video where you have to find the bad glass from the good ones. Something like minimum amount of beakers that need to be destroyed to ensure all broken ones are gone.
  • @paulstaf
    You should number your beakers and then keep track of which ones you use in which experiment. This could be useful information at some point.
  • @matz_epic
    the fact that nile is usually so serious makes this 10x funnier
  • Once when I was 12, I was washing dinner dishes. I had to wash a glass casserole pan, which was used for something cold and wasn't room temperature. I put the pan in the hot dish water, and it shattered! Thankfully I hadn't been holding any part of it when it happened, or I probably would have gotten cut pretty badly. I just remember hearing it crack and then it shattered into a lot of little pieces! Scared the heck out of me. I'm guessing it was due to the temperature difference between the glass and the dish water. Anyway, this video reminded me of that.

    I was like "hey, that one beaker survived! It must be fine!" Then you threw the hammer at it...
  • The smashing part made me SO STRESSED because I cannot tell you how many times I have had a bad dream where I ate glass. Don't question it, I have no clue.

    I love how relatable your videos are , I remember that time I was using my beakers to produce plasma and they started to break , but it was ok because they were my branded beakers and I buy those on bulk so no biggy .
