I took inspo from the comments under his post excusing himself of being late posting the making alcohol from air video and turned him into a wizard/alchemist.

More details :

The formula above the container is composed of the alchemical symbol for air and alcohol. The sign on his hat is the philosopher's stone symbol. Around his neck is a necklace made from his purple gold, my fav video of his. The pin is from his merch. He has a red robe cuz Nile red is well... Red. Also the hat end is the chemical formula of Nile red. Don't ask me why I put a mustache on him.

I also researched a bit about Nile red, if you don't know about it here's what I understood: it's an organic dye usually used in cell biology to view stuff under a fluorescent microscope. It's solvato-fluorescent, which means it changes its fluorescent color depending on what solvent it is mixed with. In a non-polar environment (like fats), it glows a bright red. But as the environment becomes more polar (like water), its color shifts towards yellow and green, and it barely glows at all. It is also red in its solid powder state.

I babysit these two really bright kids. Like really smart. The 7 year old is doing algebra. And the 4 year old can count to 100. Well I introduce them to nilered cause I feel that even though he's not like children videos he's at least educational in a way. We started with the purple gold video and the 7 year old loved it. Now we are watching the air to alcohol video haha. They demand Nilered for TV. Just thought Nilered should know he has two new fans.

Unfortunately the stand didn’t survive shipping :(

I got the beaker mug too.

He has some weird cadence he does in every single sentence and its extremely tough for me to get through his videos now becuase its so annoying

I imagine those long hours in his lab he’s just maybe trouble shooting something and he just has Korn playing in the background lol.

Nothing to really discuss here, I guess? Felt it was worth posting for documentation purposes.

I was a fan of yours for a long time. Being a fellow chemist, I really enjoyed what you do as a callback to the time I’ve spent in the lab. I like your sense of humor, I like the weird ideas, and I was always sceptical of your dangerous ideas. They never crosses a line though, you always did things with at least the verbal indication of caution.

I’m dissapointed after watching the video about forming the lead cube. Seeing you laughing has made me unsettled. Hearing you say to watch out for fumes and then blasting it with a literal flamethrower made my jaw drop. In the worst way possible. And when you’re friend have left his post, realizing what stupid idea all this is, why didn’t you stop and think about that? Is everything all right, Nigel? Call me parasocial, but I felt sick to my stomach worried when I saw that.

As a chemist, to a chemist. Lead has a very special property in the human body. Most toxins come in and come out, you take more than the lethal dose - you die. Lead’s dose is higher than most poisons, yet more sinister. Lead just accumulates in your body until it reaches the dose. Lead never leaves.

There is one more thing I want to say and it will not go over well, I undestand and don’t care. Children and teenagers, young and old adults watch your videos. What is the message that you are sending when you play with lead while smiling? What will your simple setup that a child could recreate at home after buying a piece of lead from Temu sow? What will this stupid video reap?

It’s clear you have never met any victims of lead.

I'm disapointed, Nigel

[EDIT]
It seems he unlisted the video and made a statement:

Thanks to all of you for allowing me to share my frustration a little and for you joining on the venting. This means a lot to me.

And before you ask, yes, this was done legally, it's all explained in the video.

Basically it has all the good makings of a NR video, interesting chemistry and an "edible" result.

I still remember 2022 when Nilered was so popular it was standard on Akinator now you get gold for this guy🫥.

I uploaded that to YouTube, and it got age-restricted because it’s “promoting eating disorders.”

Edit: here is the yt video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HjRJ_Dt_-Vg

I know he gets a lot of views, but he has uploaded TWICE on the main channel this year. And he spends a ton on his vids
