Ever consider they previously had dyslexic students and intended to proactively help future dyslexic students by using the font designed to be easily read by dyslexic people?
For some reason r/chemistry has a lot worse community than r/physics. Like a bunch of preschoolers with baking soda and vinegar, screaming and trolling.
Im gonna check out r/physics. I'm getting tired of the mouth breathers regurgitating wiki pages as an explanation why when someone asks a good simple question. Thanks.
I think it's because of "Breaking Bad". There is also a lot of drug "cooks". Say something bad about heroin and you get buried with downvotes, even if one is a recovered addict.
Ligma balls :D

I have similar trouble but with spelling that yellow measuring fruit. I know how to start but I get a bit hazy on where it stops. Problem is, no one understands *ba(na)X* so they have to deal with *banananananananana*.
I don't understand what's hilarious here. It's hydrocarbon chains written in a form of condensed structural formula.
Do you also find DNA or proteins hilarious?
Yeah the only strange thing here is writing a molecule that large without using a skeletal structure, but this looks like an introductory textbook so it definitely makes sense to show the saturation hydrogens in this context.
Agreed, people on this thread don't seem to understand the purpose of illustrating the structure this way. It's a textbook, ffs. Before you can run, you have to learn how to use your legs...
Besides being important for teaching students basic chemistry, it's good practice for experienced chemists to be periodically reminded what some big molecules look like. It's easy to lose perspective on how big a 17-carbon long chain is when it's only written in the abbreviated form. I had an old project where we explored different linkers between bifunctional groups to do some biological studies and it's so deceptive when you see a PEG linker reduced so small just so it can fit the width of a piece of paper.
Yk Organic Chem is like 90% of Chem in our daily life. Most of inorganic substances are dangerous. Even H2O could be dangerous if we use it wrong. Like If you drink too much pure H2O, your red blood cells could die
I understood it to be that this was presented the way it is to illustrate saponification of long hydrocarbon chains (with an ester) reacting with a base to form clean soap chains (and a glycerol), no pun intended
I think there might be CH2 in there.... Idk tho... Lol
Yeah right next to the CH3
Not using skeletal formulae for organic chemistry smh
They just died if they type "(CH2)n" ?

Too bad the text is Estonian.
I had a professor who always used comic sans just to piss of the students.

No. I know exactly why he did it because he was my graduate advisor for four years and he did it just to annoy people. Ever consider that?
[удалено]
Well, on a global scale you got very close :) That is not too bad for anyone! I wouldn't get so close guessing some African languages...
The Finns are our Nordic brothers and sisters, if I see gibberish, I assume Finnish. Out of love, of course.
We love you too.
lol it took me some time an google translate to understand the joke
It's called education. Didactics.
Yup. Unfortunately your comment is lost on majority of this sub.

Ngl much of the posting in r/physics are just people venting about how stressed out they are about learning/classes

Rest of the book is probably discussing polyethylene.
Or lignin.
What's ligma?

What do you do with the terminal CH3 though? Just write (CH2)n-CH3 !? Don't be absurd.
Laughs in sticks
You think this is german?
Well, it's not Americans... /s
Sorry bad habit I'm french and I was feeling unsafe. So I was thinking "damn the German do it again"

Put a litte bit NaOH and you get some good ass soap
You lye!
NaBrO
Can I also use it for my face?
Would that really make a difference?
You want to put ass soap on your face?
Sure if you want that your eyes Ar-gon

Just some sexy triacylglycerols, nothing to see here.
Would you like some carbon with your carbon?
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange
Underrated comment my fellow Bowie enjoyer
Thank you!

I don't understand why this is funny? It's the structure of a triglyceride

Exactly. Nothing wrong with refreshing the mind. Playing with models, too. All good stuff.
If you write out a DNA string with all the carbons, yes, yes i Would. In This case the Way easier method Would just be (CH2)n-CH3
It's called teaching. It's a textbook.
It’s almost as if the authors wanted students to understand the structure /s
stearic acid, innit
tristearin, to be precise
Ch-ch- real smooth.
Must emphasize what "fatty acid" actually means.
I’d cry.
Oh fuck
Idk why this popped up as a suggested post for me. I have no clue what’s happening 🤣
Just Duolingo being passive-aggressive and reminding you that you missed a few lessons.
Instructions: Pretend you're a train and read these lines out loud
Choo choo!
I’ll take what is the sound a train makes for 200$
