What threads to read first?

Hi there, I just signed up 4 the 1st time this week.

Soz for being lazy, but I wanted to ask if someone could show me any particularly relevant threads that I should have a read of first, so I can get up to speed here?

Thanks very much, Mike

What are your interests? What do you hope to accomplish through this forum?

Do you want to experiment for the sake of experimentation, blow things up, make pretty colors, learn how things work?

There are approx 6754 topics at the time of posting this so if you can give us more information as to exactly what you want to start out reading then we can point you more succinctly in the correct direction.

One of the things I absolutely love about this site is the amount of information you can find just by perusing the forums. I've found so many new things to be fascinated by just from poking my nose into all the forums. If you have any love for science at all, you'll find something here that you're already interested in. But 'getting up to speed' can take more than one lifetime. C'mon man, don't be lazy.

Oh, and 'Welcome'.

...That is possibly the least useful thing I have ever read on this forum. At least with the foreign nutters, you can get a laugh out of their pseudo-english, and humor is never a bad thing. Talk about spoonfeeding..

In my opinion the "foreign nutters" usually have better english and spelling than our home grown (US) kewls. ;)

Don't expect to magically absorb all the information here... You will probably need to do a bit of book reading and basic high school/college chem courses to have a general idea of what the hell people are talking about.


Anywhos the english language has been pretty much fucked by laziness. I am surprised non-english speakers can keep up with this shit language.
