Relative tale... And I let me preface this by saying... I know now how dangerous this was and how lucky I am. But this was chem 101 qkall... That dude was stupid.
Anyway, we had this like 151 experiment project we had to finish by the end of the year. A lot of what is mentioned in the meme... Clear stuff mixing to more clear stuff. And we had to figure out what it was with a few simple experiments. Anyway, did I mention old, younger qkall was a bit of an idiot? Well that dumb ass forgot and had to do something like 70 experiments in one evening. To date myself a bit, this was before they really gave a shit who was in the building doing what. They just trusted you... So it's me at like 8pm solo in the lab. I'm starting to clean up and.. and yes... I know dumb... I put all the spare reagents in one big beaker and clean up my lab space. I turn around to dump my waste... And what I see was beautiful and terrifying... The liquid was purple. The gas was green and purple ... And there were adorable green fireballs coming out of the beaker. Again very dumb... I close the hood and nope the fuck out... Fast forward to a much smarter and educated qkall. We're last year seniors discussing our battle wounds and a peer is like 'guys one time I went into the intro chem lab and the one hood was covered in purple stuff and there was broken glass everywhere.' I let them finish their story telling how arduous the process was... Then sheepishly spoke up 'uh, so one I'm sorry but let me tell you what happened '
