Aspiring Software Engineer who likes chocolate a lot

[Eto]

How did you find PF?

Don't remember, I just knew it existed.

I'm currently a computer engineering student. I'm going to a community college. I enjoy hiking, chocolate, painting my nails and inhaling the fumes, consuming entertainment and making jokes and puns

Sounds like all healthy interests that will fit right in on PF. We have whole mega-threads on (bad) jokes and puns.

And regarding inhaling, don't worry - some go sky diving or free climbing in their spare time, others just inhale.

(Obligatory disclaimer: inhaling fumes is not recommended and is in general not endorsed by members of this site).

Which aromatic component of nail polish fumes better strikes your fancy? If regular nail polish remover doesn't do it for you as well as regular nail polish does, then you probably like the toluene (methyl benzene) more than you like the acetone.

According to:

• Toluene is irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It can cause systemic toxicity by ingestion or inhalation and is slowly absorbed through the skin. The most common route of exposure is via inhalation. Symptoms of toluene poisoning include CNS effects (headache, dizziness, ataxia, drowsiness, euphoria, hallucinations, tremors, seizures, and coma), ventricular arrythmias, chemical pneumonitis, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, and electrolyte imbalances.

In practice, toluene (and acetone) exposure due to nail polish may reach hazardous levels for some cosmetics workers, but not for most ordinary nail polish users who do only the nails of small numbers of persons.

And welcome aboard PF, @Eto

And on that cheerful note, we'll go ahead and tie this thread off with a bow.
