Holy shit, I thought this guy was already peak. He makes some really great physics/mechanical interest videos.

Is this the guy that starts off his shorts with 'wanna see something cool?' if so yes good videos.

Nile Red is good for chemistry though I swear he has been going down the meme side of the house too much lately

Indeed it is!

I prefer explosions and fire for chemistry vids. It's so jank. I love the jank.

I stopped watching because he made a few too many homophobic jokes.

Really? Never noticed. Not a single one that I can remember

Nile green also has some funny parodies of Nile red too

u/confusedham 19d ago

I will check it out, I'm lost on all the Nile colours since he just appeared one day on my algorithms and never left. Nile blue I thought was another. Or that's just a chemical colourant.

Red is the original, blue is less edited more behind the scenes content by the same guy. “Nilegreen” who recently rebranded to “Mr. Green guy” is a totally separate person who started out by making AI voiced parody videos of nilered but has since transferred into his own content similar to “explosions and fire/ire” or like an “I did a thing” of chemistry.

Regardless, pretty much every channel I mentioned here is fantastic and I highly recommend them if you’re into chemistry or maker stuff in general

Thank you for the concise answer

I pretty sure i learned more from his shorts than i ever did in 3 1/2 Years of Apprenticeship.

Did you ever learn what a broom was for you sparkie bastard?

u/Hans_the_Frisian 20d ago

Indeed, learning what a broom is and how to use it was one of the earliest things we learned, but only in the second year someone actually bothered to teach as that easily flammable things like brooms should not be stored directly next to machines that create sparks like for example the grinder.

And nowadays i'm not even allowed to use the broom anymore, we are told to use a vacuum cleaner with special filters due to the risk of harmflu fibres or something that was used as insulation at my workplace and is now "raining" down on anything.

Any chance you would share the name or channel info? I’d love to check it out

u/FlockFlysAtMidnite 20d ago

Channel is Physicsduck. Fun science facts that veer towards the mechanical engineering side of Physics.

beware though, he is a literal (science) gangster (as prosecuted by the US) and did actual time for being so. (he has a fun video sharing his story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuIRvn89988 )

Physicsduck i think

u/happyinheart 19d ago

I stopped watching because of his long sorded history of being a sketchy and skeevy dude who did federal prison time.

u/jawknee530i 19d ago

Yeah once I learned about his background I definitely thought differently about him.

u/donatedknowledge 19d ago

More positive, I guess?

u/thesecretmarketer 19d ago

Knowing his history helps you understand when he references it in very quick ways. I don't think more of him, but it does add complexity to his character.

u/huffandduff 19d ago

Curious what you saw? I watched the video he released about his past which was very informative. Realize that's just his side of the story though. Do you have more info?

u/happyinheart 18d ago

If you do an Internet search for his name there are accusations of sexual assault and harassment, underpaying people, etc
