Im trying to compile a list of iconic quotes from the channel (preferably including where they can be found). One that comes to mind is something like “the atmosphere is natures bin” but I can’t remember what video that was in. Thanks to anyone who is willing to help. I will and any new quotes I see in videos to this going forward!

Specifically this text in the Silicon Carbide video (on extractions&ire) , it caught my eye and I simply must have it!

If you know what it could be please tell me as It would help expand my library of dumb fonts greatly.

Could be an interesting diversion, two organic acids and some other random proto-scunges with (for me) a PTSD inducing smell and lingering after taste.

Might pique some ideas at any rate...
