Iodine From Seaweed

Glass: cut's Cody Cody: Uses that glass in the process of making iodine to disinfect the cut

Cody: so the solution should turn brown Solution: turns brown Cody: hehe

Me, cuts foot, "Ow! What a freaking pain." Cody, cuts foot, "Wow! This gives me a great idea for a science project with some seaweed!"

USA: miles, yards, feet, inches Rest of the world: Millimetre, centimetre, decimetre, metre, kilometre Cody: nano light second, smoot, chain, furlong

Impossible! Everyone knows that seaweed is 50% sea, 50% weed.

Alright, but can you extract seaweed from elemental iodine

Glass: cuts Cody: ouch Also Cody:*tortures glass to make a disinfectant to treat the cut*

1:08 If you wish to extract iodine from seaweed from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

For those confused about the units Cody used, 600,000 Smoots is about 50703.889 chains, or 5070.3788 furlongs.

This is probably the fanciest looking thumbnail on a Cody’s Lab video ever.

Is this guy wearing chain armor

I could listen to Cody all day about how elements were created

Thanks Cody for telling us that you live 600,000 smoots from the nearest ocean thanks for that useful frame of reference

now extract the salt from seaweed and then make iodized salt

Now convert it back to seaweed and I will be really impressed

Cody: cuts foot Cody: goes to store, buys seaweed, extracts iodine, makes tincture, uses tincture to disinfect wound I mean yeah why not

Cody’s Lab in 25 years: Is there less Iodine from the seaweed on my mars colony than on Earth?

Cody: cuts foot realizes he should use some tincture Cody: lemme go buy some seaweed

I've been binging hours of Cody's older videos, like the older refining videos, and I've learned 2 things. One: I've been watching your videos for a lot longer than I've thought, and Two: I've remembered why I love your videos so much. Your content has made me a smarter person over the years, and has helped me realize my love of science. I've always loved science, and your videos have been an outlet for that. I'm still young, I've got my whole life ahead of me and can still make choices about what I'm going to do with it, and these videos have helped me figure out what career in science that I'd like to go into. Please, never change Cody. Keep making videos. I'm just one of the many people whose lives have been changed by your content, and I'm sure many people have similar stories to mine.

1 smoot = 5.5 feet. god damn it cody, why do you make me keep googling your archaic units of measurement.
