the thing about organic chemistry is that you finally get to use all the aesthetically pleasing mad scientist looking chemistry apperatuses that you’ve been waiting to use for years but when u finally get to use them they all turn out to do surprisingly boring things

behold, the radical-looking and DEEPLY aesthetically pleasing rotovap we used in lab today. ‘ooo what is it doing???’ u ask, as I also did. ‘surely this spits lightning or something. maybe it could even kill a man. this would be a formitabble opponent in the robot apocalypse’

but no. it turns out that the machine called ‘the rotovap’ just evaporates things faster….by rotating them

And you don’t enjoy that? You joyless corn shuck.

human brain: this machine is not nearly as cool in functionality as i anticipated
