Hey kids, have you ever wanted to do cool science experiments in the comfort of your own home? Stuff like maybe filling one glass with water from another? A toiler paper calculator? Maybe poo poo your pants as hard as possible?

Or maybe, you followed instructions and set up a crude foundry in your back yard so you can cook steak with molten metal and feed it to your dog!

Tell me about how you do Science At Home every day! Personally, I experiment with hydrochloric acid by immersing all my food in it.

Crudely Extract DNA at home:

Get a fruit (a soft fruit like a banana works well for this)
Take 1/3 cup of the fruit, put it in a ziploc bag and mash it up
Cell lysis step:
Take 1/2 cup of water, add 2 tsp of dish soap and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mix
Add this to your bag of fruit and mix it up
Isolation step:
Filter your fruit bag through a coffee filter into a glass; this liquid contains your DNA
Take (preferably cold) 70% or more ethanol or isopropanol and pour it down the side of your glass so it floats on top of your solution; white strands will form; this is your DNA preicpitate!

but also very sexual.

never look at the sun unless its through a solar filter. you can get a pair of cardboard eclipse or solar glasses really cheaply as long as there isn't an eclipse any time soon.

then, put them on and look at the sun when its sunny out! its cool lookin' and has spots and poo poo, i recommend it. most people have never actually seen the sun before which is pretty crazy if you think about it

Yeah this is pretty much the first thing I thought of. Though I guess if it's molten, then it probably isn't leaving much residue.

NEVER DO THIS

noyemi is trying to be cool but looking directly at the sun without a certified solar filter can cause permanent damage within seconds and when people ask you how you became blind you will have to think up a much better lie than you're the world's biggest idiot. the world is not a nice place to the blind.

I've looked right at the sun a lot of times. I don't recommend it but like it's not that bad. I don't stare at it for more than a few seconds though, that would be dumb!

Have you tried the mentos volcano?

Take 1 pack of mentos
and a carbonated water.

Put the mentos in your anus and then pour in the water!

Does a welding mask work? I used to use my dad's to stare at the sun with no negative consequences I can remember. I'm nearsighted as gently caress, but so is all my mom's side of the family.

I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.
One cool experiment you can do, with a little research, is to rip the time space continuum in half. It's neat!

Yes, certain types of welding masks do use the same type of filter but find out first by checking your masks specifications. If you want to learn Braille, it's way easier if you can see.
