  You already know when someone has this accent that they're probably a mad scientist.

  More proof chickens are the spirit animals of chemistry. <br>1. Chicken poop? No, &nbsp;<b>Potassium Nitrate</b> <br>2. Chicken egg? No, <b>reagent-grade Calcium Carbonate</b> <br>3. Chicken leg? No, <b>perfect HF acid / Piranha solution demo</b>

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SolCxT6O4nU&amp;t=733">12:13</a>, this doesn&apos;t just look like concrete, you literally made a form of cement which is mainly composed of calcium oxide and hydroxide. Just mix this well with some silicon sand or gravel (adding some silicon dioxide, and aluminum oxide possibly) and let it slowly dry over a few days and you got yourself a nice bucket of concrete.

  this reminds me of how salt isn&apos;t dangerous, but alone Sodium and Chlorine defiantly are!

  I know you play it off as a joke but your respect for the chickens who made you the eggs is really nice to see.

  I KNOW that smell. I have done very many calcium from egg shells experiments (doing another as I write this in fact!), and the first time I smelled it was when I put the egg shells in an almost identical can you used and put it in my lab toaster oven at 260°C hoping to burn off the protein membrane stuff before I put the shell part in the kiln.<br>I was very suddenly introduced to that horrible smell and had to quickly move the whole mess outside before it permeated everything. I think my neighbors might hate me now, because even outside it was really awful!
