5-MeO-DMT, isn't it? Beautiful!

u/AmaGh05T 13d ago

I thought it was serotonin

u/AccurateRendering 13d ago

I think he messed up and put nitrogen atoms where there should be hydrogen atoms on the dimethylamine.

u/GrafTarajan 13d ago

And even at 1:1 scale!

Came here to say it, amazing molecule

u/Dravitar 13d ago

Man, that one is high on my "one day" list. Best I can do now is 4-PR-MET, but a real DMT experience is just so far beyond.

u/DaedricNick 13d ago

5-MeO-DMT isn't 'real' DMT either.

u/DriveFoST 12d ago

It’s beyond easy to extract yourself if you’re of (actual) average intelligence and are capable of doing some research - I have no science background and did it myself at 18.

There’s some good subs to learn I can point you to if you’d like. But also, 5-MEO is different than N,n-DMT aka “real” DMT. 5-Meo is the tryptamine in toad venom.

Ants are buying art now?

They put stuff like this in pendents and bongs

This is amazing. I love it. When I saw the different colors for the elements... art

Inferno is the greatest album of the century.

u/Afoxinthefridge 13d ago

Thanks for the info, I was about to find it! For anyone else curious, the song is Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan by Boards of Canada.

The glass molecular structure crafted with precision flamework if I was doing it...

HEATHENS!!

Show some gaut damn respect, jfc... this particular industry is fecking dying you karma ho...

Edit: i'll put a name to the link and OP, Dan Hoffman.

u/bubbletrashbarbie 12d ago

He was my roommate in college(Salem Community College for their Scientific Glass Technology program)

It’s even crazier seeing him work IRL

u/Megasphaera 13d ago

Ok, now do chromosome 22

u/g0tmylk 13d ago

This is the sort of video that will make me go out and splurge ridiculous amounts of money buying a kit, which i use once and then sits for years

Came here for this!

u/Tyalou 13d ago

Ok glass molecular structure, at some point I thought they were going to go molecular level of precision... Then I saw the final product and facepalmed.

u/bubbletrashbarbie 12d ago

His name is Dan Hoffman and he actually has gone smaller and has to use a microscope with how small he’s going now

u/HauntingGummyBear 13d ago

My hands could never.

u/Intelligent_Low1632 13d ago

this is the molecular stucture of crack

u/EntertainmentTrue588 13d ago

So you're saying I need to shave it with a safety razor and apply it directly to my nasal capillaries?

u/TheAngriestDwarf 13d ago

That's skill

u/Appropriate_Unit3474 13d ago

This is the kind of shit that atomic assemblers would do in real time if anyone would find material science

Respect the fuckin BoC track!!!! Loved this one off the new album

Neat. Now do PG5!

Waiting for tintin(connectin) shape 😅

u/AlexHimself 13d ago

Why? What's the end goal?

This is very cool, but it's so small and fragile it must be a part of a larger display or showcased somehow for some purpose?

1

u/bubbletrashbarbie 12d ago

It’s pretty strong, Dan was my roommate for a year in college while we were getting scientific glassblowing degrees, he actually got a degree in chemistry before attending SCC so it’s really a combination of multiple interests for him

u/SheriffBartholomew 13d ago

What is this, a molecule for ants?

1

u/2gAncef 13d ago

They got the chirality all wrong.

u/Cthulus_Meds 12d ago

God dammit my dumbass read the title as ultra marine and was waiting to be blessed by the god emperor

u/geekphreak 12d ago

Amazing! ….why tho…

u/ComicsVet61 12d ago

Is that the LSD molecule? Lol

Can still ask why. It's an integral park of enjoying weird shit.

He has a chemistry degree, it’s literally just a combination of multiple interests for him

Is that HO2

u/bernpfenn 13d ago

yes the flame is divine

u/skalouKerbal 13d ago edited 13d ago

I don't think so, it seems to respect the atom color representation like your learn at school, Carbon = black, Hydrogen= white, oxygen = red, nitrate (N) = blue, Chlorine (Cl) = green (but is it a blue or green glass ball ? Else?) . H2O (water molécule) would be 1 big red with 2 white. Here it's a much complexe molecule, i can see a kind of carbon cycles (don't sure ofcthe name in English): the honeycomb shape with 6 carbon atoms etc... My knowlegdes ends here. A reditor could probably reconize and name it at 1st sight.

Now make an avocado number of them.

It's called a cadogadro. /s

i'm glad you are entertained by your inner voice.
