My favorite thing about this channel is the rigorous and precise methods used such as "I let it run until I thought it looked good" and "completely at random, I chose to let it sit 5 hours."
I love how every step is explained in the tone of someone trying to explain the long chain of events that led to the backyard shed burning down.
Im not a scintest but ive tried my hand at making cotton candy from other types of comercialized candies. One thing I think caused the diffrence in density and burnt taste is the size of the sugar. Large peices of sugar can cause for an uneven melting process. Which can cause peices of the sugar to burn and become dense. I would suggest blending the sugar into small granulated peices. This might make a more balanced heating process; eliminating the burnt taste and fluffier cotton candy.
"And hopefully won't poison me." So, anyway, I added 75% pure sulfuric acid.
"Based on almost nothing, I've decided" is a phrase I'm going to use in my next lab report
The fact that NileRed is more confident with sulfuric acid than he is with just a regular cotton candy maker is cracking me up
The most impressive part of Nigel is that he somehow knows what is weird for normal people since once you know some degree of anything, at some point you stop having common sense like "Of course you can do it from this, it's that other thing" or "Oh but it's this very specific type of something so it makes total sense" So still remenber what is what is actually cool and weird is pretty powerful of a social exploit
3yr old: Is cotton candy made from cotton? The parent: No it's not. NileRed: You are not going to believe this.
this dude has such a voice, that when he says something, you dont know if it is good news or bad, unless he specifies "luckily", or "I had hoped"
This dude has intentions of a three year old and abilities of a scientist.
These are the best videos to watch, especially before going to bed
Nile at the start of any project: Precise calculations. Nile at end: I HEATED IT UNTIL I FELT LIKE TAKING IT OFF
"It's not bad, but it's actually not good." Simplest review ever.
i can’t wait for the sequel: turning literal rocks into rock candy
This man has genuinely done things no human has ever done and probably will never do
Someone once told me that NileRed talks like he's about to end every sentence with "but then something went wrong" and now I can't unhear it
With no knowledge of chemistry, this makes me feel like a medieval peasant witnessing alchemy.
Nile is literally the scientist we imagined in our heads when we were kids
This channel actually somewhat boosts my self-esteem, because there are a few things that I’m able to understand from prior knowledge /gen
