On osmosis and the drink that makes you explode

Sorry but as I see it, this isn't a "fading" Adam Ragusea video. It's a peak Adam Ragusea video. Very interesting and important topic, excellent and well thought-out presentation, a close-up personal angle that makes it easy to draw actual real-life conclusions and all the sciency ideas that you expect. Like it or not, I'm actually quite confident that your best work is ahead of you. Looking forward to it :)

i love how confidently Adam doesn’t care about falling off. it’s rare to see internet sensations value their personal life over clout, and I think that’s inspiring. Much love, from one average person to another :)

"Fading internet Starlet" is a lot better than "try-hard dishonest clout-chaser" so I'm glad you're focusing on making what you want.

"Why is it one of the most common and deadly kinds of cancer?" I hear nobody at all asking. Because every time your cells divide, there's a chance that things go wrong, if one thing goes wrong, and two other things that are supposed to stop that from happening also doesn't kick in, you've got a potential problem. If a second set of things that are supposed to brutally murder that now-cancerous cell also goes wrong, you've got a real problem, and depending on how fast the new cancer cell can divide you have a different timeframe for how long it's going to take to get really bad. The cells that make up the lining of your colon are technically counted as an "outside" part of your body, they are there for physical defense as well as other functions, and they take a lot of abuse from a lot of different things. This means they are built from the ground up to divide REALLY fast. Which means they have a high chance of accidentally going bad (because you essentially roll a lot of dice at once, all the time) and when they do, they grow really, really fast no matter where they end up.

That is one very unseasoned colon.

I have a family history of colon cancer. I had a colonoscopy at age 40 and they found cancer, early enough that it was easy to remove and after 3 months of chemo I am cancer free with a statistical 90% chance it will not come back. I can't emphasize this enough having a colonoscopy saved my life, and honestly catching it early meant my experience was much easier and more successful than the majority of people who battle with cancer

Chemist here, wanted to say that this was a pretty great explanation of osmosis without getting into atomic charges and stuff. Great balance, and the demonstration with the potato was great.

I thought the part of colonoscopy prep that sucked was that the drink didn’t taste well. I quickly learned there was another part that was WAY worse.

How is semi-retired Adam more interesting than grindset Adam lmao The presentation is so much more funny now

NO WAY RAGUSEA PLAYS BASS

That Squier fretless is a great value, high quality instrument. Not even a good “first fretless”, just a good one period. Great choice!

"Shitting out your life force" is a good description of the process. I had my first colonoscopy about 6 months ago. The prep process was unpleasant, but mostly because of not being able to eat real food for a while (and the frequent interruptions when trying to play a TTRPG on Zoom with friends who found my situation hilarious). The actual procedure was great. Well, the post anesthesia fuzziness was great.

Bro, I'm a chemist and I love how you ACTUALLY do your research before saying stuff on the internet. No one is perfect, but you tend to nail it.

Literally and figuratively the most open i've seen a youtuber be 😂 joking aside thanks for sharing your experience Adam! It's great to get the masses educated about colon cancer screening! 11/10 would recommend to a friend 😂👏

My brother's wife had to go through colonoscopy prep one time years ago. They were at my mom's house, which was about a half-hour drive from their own house. The doctor told her that she'd have roughly an hour between drinking and pooping, so she drank the drink just before they were about to leave to go home. My brother, however, got to chatting on the way out the door, while his wife was constantly pulling on sleeve, and forty-five minutes passed before they left. My brother's wife ended up shitting multiple times in the woods (or rather on the way from the shoulder of the highway to the woods) next to the highway. My brother lived in the doghouse for months afterward.

It's nice of them to warn you to stay very close to a bathroom after drinking that stuff now. Decades ago that wasn't always the case. It also consisted of a six ounce bottle of innocent looking clear liquid that one got right off the shelf at the drugstore. I drank mine on my way to work. Need I say more?

I was partly expecting you to use the Colonoscopy images on your Squarespace ad read :D

I can't tell you how relieving it was watching you go through this. I've recently had some things happen to me that have made me need a colonoscopy. I've been pretty worried about it and feel so astoundingly better to see my favorite "fading internet star" do the same. Thanks Adam.
