    This is what Jordan Peterson does to a mf.

    Me and my partner watch those "THE REASON ALL HUMANOID FEMALES LOSE ATTRACTION FOR THEIR PARTNERS" videos for fun because Peterson is absolutely fucking insane and a dogshit scientist, and this entire post is constructed with the same weird pseudo-scientific language patterns he uses. It reads EXACTLY like something he'd say except he wouldn't use the example of a school shooting, he keeps it abstract enough that any dominant male humanoid can infer encouragement and an academic basis for their fucked up power fantasies.

    I am once again calling for a total and complete shutdown of men

    Yep! I carbonised samples between 600 and 1200 C, well within the temperature range of a gas stove, and aye distilled water would be fine! I used ultrapure but that's just because you get these things literally on tap in labs

    Congrats! PhD student in condensed matter physics/electrochemistry here! Loads of high-surface-area carbon materials (e.g. activated charcoal, supercapacitor electrodes) are made using toxic chemicals to increase their surface area, but there's plenty of non-toxic and waste biological matter (e.g. pine needles) which when carbonised do this themselves. Using pine needles as an example, under heating and carbonisation of carbohydrate structures etc. within the leaves, really useful minerals (e.g. magnesium) present within them both react with the carbon lattice to create disorder and intercalate between the graphitic layers which teases them apart. These "mineral porogens" are then washed out, leaving behind micro- and nanopores.

    There are soooo many ways of working with nature to create very intricate and deliberately engineered microstructures with really basic equipment - I did this with nothing but a hot plate, tube furnace, and mortar & pestle! Warmed pine needles on a hot plate made the lab smell DIVINE.
