I read this comment as soon as that part came up lol
OMFG I saw this comment and thought it was a joke, and then got to the 26-minute mark xD xD xD
Mr. Beast, but there's a soul behind his eyes
I feel like nile has just burnt off all of his receptors from using strong chemicals and now is immune to strong smells
you're probably right 😭
You likely aren't wrong.
Probably needs to stop sticking his nose so close to chemicals.
exactly what I was thinking. Bro has no sense of smell left.
Very likely that’s the case. lol
Nile is two things:
1. A real smart fella
2. A real fart smella
Smart fella, fella smart, it takes a smart fella to make a smell a fart.

I like to imagine the conversation that transpired when renting the island.
"What do you need an island for?"
"Chemical weapon tests"
"o.k."
Tsar Bomba reference
Nah, it's Canada, so it probably went like this:
"What do you need an island for? You're not doing any illicit experiments or chemical weapons tests, eh? Don't worry, five hundred bucks."
"Thanks"
I love this comment
"you'll see."
@@SweetPotatoNotFound2castle bravo you mean
trusting google translate while doing a dangerous experiment is absolutely brave af 💀
No joke!!😂
😁my thoughts exactly
I think the reason that Nile wasn’t as phased by the smell as the camera man is because he’s already really used to smelling foul odors. As he mentioned in the intro, he’s made a lot of incredibly stinky substances over the years, and just before smelling the thioacetone he had already caught a massive whiff of the trithioacetone that had gotten on his glove. Thus, he’d more or less had developed a tolerance, similar to how people who eat spicy foods develop a spice tolerance.
I concur. It is similiar to spicy foods - If you know you can take it, it becomes fare less dreadful.
Also how most nurses over 50 are completely noseblind
4/4 marks
no he's actually smell blind and it will put him into danger one day in this field. He should be very aware of it and consider his setback in science more to prevent accidents he can't smell in time.
The amount of times he goes “what’s that horrible smell?”, shrugs, and goes back to his experiment is kind of hilarious
He probably burned his olfactory receptors while on his chemistry adventures.
If smell weapons ever become a thing then nile is gonna be a supersoldier.

Things I learned from this video:
1. Nile's olfactory nerves are apparently degraded from years of inhaling various chemicals he shouldn't.
2. When something says "here's how to make 100g of the worst thing ever", 1/400th of that amount will be fine.
3. Nile can afford to rent AN ISLAND?!

Luck and funny
Nile: deep sniff yeah i mean, it smells not so bad
cameraman: literally dies
Nigel's olfactory sensors just got blasted into oblivion with all of these stinky chemicals lmao
The day Nile think's the chemical he made smells bad we all die
his nose internals has been burned off from the experiments.
His nostrils have declined from the frequent inhalation of noxious gasses. I bet he barely knows when someone farts!
and it's not the first time he's made something and had this same reaction
I literally just discovered Nigel but his “totally not” mad scientist ways have me enthralled.
Also he’s totally on a list.
*on many lists
Have worked in Occupational medicine, and not surprised that people had different reactions, or that a sudden strong smell could cause vomiting or a panic. Some people are very sensitive to chemical smells, and we would get reports along the lines that 5 people went to the ER (and were fine) in a workplace if the cleaners used a different cleaning solution with a new smell, even though harmless.
Not surprisingly, when some people smell strong chemicals that are irritating, they believe they may be poisoned, which causes them to panic, which causes them to have more symptoms, then they panic more, etc. Then add in seeing another person feeling affected too, and it happens.
Humans seem to have evolved the ability to become sick by just observing someone else who is sick. It's why watching someone throw up makes you want to throw up, there's a chance that the whole community could have been poisoned. Of course, that kind of sympathetic reaction is a double-edged sword, but it must have worked for us to be alive to experience it!
It might not be panic. Just a very strong sense of smell. I'm always first to notice, if something in the fridge has gone bad. I can't stand spicy foods or anything rancid. What to most people smells slightly off and tastes fine, to me is several magnitudes worse. I have, after tasting a duck, that was shot out of season, and might have smelled a bit muddy to the rest of the family, actually washed my mouth out with a bar of soap. I've never even liked balloons, because they smell awful.
Nile really read multiple credible sources about the horrors of thioacetone and thought "nah these guys were just weak, I'm built different"
And he was right lol
Yea he is.
I'll admit, when I hear a story about something that smells so bad it cleared out an entire town, part of me wants to know what it smells like.
Dude got built-in gas masks.
To be fair, azidoazide azide turned to be overblown, for example.
i feel like he could breathe 100% conncentration mustard gas and be like: "its not that bad i dont get all the stories about it"
Oh his nose is definitely broken. I bet it's not that uncommon among experimental chemists.
He reminds me of a chemistry teacher sub we had at school, who'd destroyed most of his sense of smell. It was worryingly easy to egg him on to use way too much ingredients. He also gave us (7th graders) any chemical we wanted to take home, he didn't gaf. Just wanted to do his weird expetiments.
He once painted the whole classroom and some of the slower students purple with iodine gas and got a talking to from the principal. The following week we heard a muffled boom from the direction of the class. No one was allowed in to that wing of the building and chemistry classes were canceled for a month. We didn't see him after that.
@@VikingTeddy they can't just leave the entrance entire school curious for life about what exactly happened 💀
@@VikingTeddy either a failed experiment or a suicide
@@raloniusmaximus Lol, Why woukd your mind go there? Last thing we heard he was back at the uni the school found him from, doing God knows what.
He'll end up working for anyone who gives him free reign, be it a company researching a cure for cancer or a terrorist group. If he doesn't blow himself up.
@Viking Teddy sorry the booms made me think the worst, glad he isn't dead and hopefully he can put his knowledge to good use lol
The fact that nile can smell it even with 0.25 grams even though its not that bad for him is just insane because this is only a fraction of what actually got released on 1889
What if a particularly nefarious and silly person would make a kilogramme of it
Spilling this chemical in a supermarket would have been a tiny bit of tomfoolery
Mad respect for Nigel's friend/camera guy. Suffering so the rest of us may know the power of this chemical
our boy reggie
Lmao
And the power of Nigel himself.
I was afraid when he left the camera, he lost his cameraman invincibility.
Yes
Mark my words, one day Nigel is going to make the area within 500 miles of his lab completely uninhabitable.
My sides are gone. Just imagine it.

"Today I decided to make a hydrogen bomb, because I really just don't believe it's as bad as it's claimed"
"Today, I'm making Sarin."
Watching your videos always brings to mind a jingle my father taught me that he learned in school in the 1950s. "Ol' Wally (NileRed) was a chemist. A chemist he is no more, for what he thought was H2o was H2S04."
Two man walk into a bar and are asked what they want to drink.
The first man says: "I'll have H2O, please."
The second man says: "I'll have H2O, too."
Then the second man died.
@@Mis7erSeven Hydrogen peroxide huh, I wonder how was that available in a bar
@@nerd__698 I genuinely can't tell if you just got whooshed. That was such a deadpan delivery.
I once worked in a chemical plant that made acrylic acid and downstream products of ethyl acrylate and butyl acrylate. The odor was so strong that we had to enclose the entire process pump system in a vacuum enclosure. We burned all of the air and water from the unit at 1500 F. The chemicals desensitized the operators in the unit. They tended to absorb into leather and we carried it out in our belts and wallets. I could empty a checkout lane in the grocery. Married people had to change clothes in the garage and bathe before entering their homes.
What exactly did it smell like? Or how would you describe it? Other than bad breath, farts, and dead animals, I can’t think of anything that smells fouler

I love how nile is constantly trying to create bad smells while it has been proven multiple times that he has almost zero sense of smell whatsoever 😂
My guess is that during one experiment or another some chemicals got into his nose and burnt his sense of smell
He wants to smell something
It's because he has almost zero sense of smell that each consecutive stinky chemical gets worse lol. His olfactory senses are only an obstacle he's yet to overcome.
Maybe he really wants to experience whatever other people are talking about
Basically me. XD
Always great to be told to look for the source of a smell when you can't smell jack all.

Bear faints from the smell. Nile - "Come on, it is no THAT bad."

Do you ever think about releasing papers of more in-depth explanations of exactly how you do things?

It's hilarious how resistant you are to this stuff. Birds could've been falling from the trees and you'd still be going "it's actually not thaat baad" :D
Imagine had he not just made .1% of the original amount
It’s not that he’s resistant, it’s that he’s probably had lots of close calls with taking random whiffs of acid fumes, and they’ve burned his nostrils, personally I have the same issue, when I was growing up I found a unlabeled jug sitting outside and my childlike curiosity got the better of me, and come to find out it was muriatic acid, I can barely smell unless it’s potent in the air, or it’s a sulfur compound like sulfer dioxide, my sniffer still works good for that in warning me of my inevitable death to get away
The trees start to droop. The birds fall from the sky. Arboreal animals drop. Bugs fall, and terrestrial bugs writhe on the ground. Worms emerge, writhing. Mammals vomit. Turtles drown themselves avoiding the stench. The fish are fine tho.
Nile: It’s not so bad.

Exactly
Also, Long Covid is a bitch, speaking from experience. I can no longer smell smoke, detect the acridness of alcohol, or (god help me) my cat's litter box. I can no longer trust my nose to tell me if there's something burning, if that glass on the counter is vodka or water, or if the litter is starting to stink. That last one just means being MORE clean, but the other two are really friggin disturbing.
If Nile's suffering from LC, it might drastically change how he's gotta do things in the lab. He might not be able to trust his nose for scents that provide basic, practical input for every day work there.
