>>12951951Chem majors always look the most normal compared to other STEM majors especially fucking math and compsci lol. In my experience, Chem also had the most mix ratio of male and female students. Chem attracts all sorts of people and it's a bridge between physics and biology that stands alone as its own field. I've always found chemistry more practical and more interesting than physics, but interdisciplinary fields of physics combining other fields like biophysics are the shit.
>>12959066The meme about Cyanide being ultra poisonous is kind of bullshit. It's toxic but not that toxic. Most chemists come across worse shit on a day-to-day basis arguably benzene for example which is some carcinogenic shit.
Cyanide is a signal transduction inhibitor, a low dosage can be survived but a high dosage is nearly always fatal due to cellular respiration being halted. The mechanism of cyanide is actually some basic shit. It's no botulinum toxin Ld5- wise but it's fairly toxic.
>>12957325>Writing intensive don't even imply that you struggled with humanities anon, humanities are the biggest flunk. You'll be flunking every essay since fucking kindergarten to postgraduate level. I've gotten an A in philosophy because the lecturer liked me, they mark extremely impartially lol. You have to unironically work for grades in STEM regardless of the field, this isn't a meme yet a lot of STEM autists struggle with writing essays.
When Humanities and social "science" defenders get btfo by STEM they bring up the replication crisis in response but fail to mention that the only notable fields that it fucks is psychology which was never considered a science anyway and medicine. Which for obvious reasons has problems with replicating datasets.
