The plot seems to be: 1950s chemistry PhD student gets r*ped and stabs her male feminist. She gets expelled of her PhD program and becomes a girlboss in cooking with a cook show. The foid falls in love with another chemist and refuses his marriage proposals, the moid dies but she's pregnant. A few years later she was this hyper intelligent dog and a 5 year old kid who can read and quote Peepeeens and the main foid does neurodivergent quircky shit on her cooking show like referring to salt as sodium chloride or vinagre as acetic acid. She apparently also angrily tosses a food can into the trash because "it's filled with chemicals", lol sounds like TBBT level dialogue.

Oh I thought it was going to be about chemistry.
The only chemistry book I read outside of college was The Anarchist Cookbook that I bought at a cool butt retail called Spy Headquarters which probably doesn't exist anymore. You'd be an r-slur to visit there as an adult but when you're a young and impressionable child who just got his license, I loved going there and the military surplus stores. They'll let children buy literally anything at those places.

It's about "CHEMISTRY
" but with feminist characteristics.

I had hundreds of redditors go "um, actually, it's DIhydrogen MONOxide" when I called it hydrogen oxide once. That's the people who like books like this, I guess

Yeeeahhhh gasoline and styrofoam! I made a huge jar of it in my dad's tool shed and brought it to scout camp. Turns out I saved the day because it snowed and I was able to get the wet wood to light.
I guess the real recipe is diesel with Palmitic acid (literally palm oil) and naphthenic acid, harder to get.
You could probably get away with just the Palmitic acid to thicken it enough without spending too much.
