   Oh ok, that sounds kinda cool, what does it need?

     @icedquinn Here is the video for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KINBSeCACow
     
     TLDR: Polymers make bubbles stronger, so extracting strawberry DNA and adding it into the recipe makes the bubbles stronger.

     @icedquinn I honestly don't understand bubble science much either. But it's kinda funny that extracting strawberry DNA is a normal everyday thing if you make giant bubbles.

     @emu i played around with the retrosynthesis system four vinegar thieves hosted. chemists work backwards through some crazy compounds

     @emu you can tell it what chemical you want and it has an ML model try to simulate reactions backwards, to tell you what reagents and process to use to get what you want. and then you have to do it recursively until you get to something you can actually get ahold of. crazy shit.

     @icedquinn holy crap, I never knew that was a thing. It's probably only available at the most fancy of institutions though, or fusion reactors.
     
     I sort of wanna see if CERN has one.
