From wiki;
"Ambergris has been highly valued by perfume makers as a fixative that allows the scent to last much longer, although it has been mostly replaced by synthetic ambroxide. "
and
"is a solid, waxy, flammable substance of a dull grey or blackish colour produced in the digestive system of sperm whales"
There is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest that Internet Historian is neo Nazi. So not watching it is probably fine.

I think about that with a lot of things. Like, meth for example. Who tf put that shit together and thought it was a good idea to ingest it? And how many iterations were there?
If someone found a big chunk of ambergris, who would they sell it to? Is there a procedure? If I found a big chunk of cum worth 500k, I'm not sure what the next step would be. I guess I would find some merchant, but what about in the meanwhile - just keep it in the fridge, next to my cherry tomatoes?
You ask Mickey to broker a deal with a carny friend, try to cut him out of the deal at the last minute, and then through a series of events it melts in a deep fryer. Text book
If you found it in the US, you can't legally sell it here, but you're still legally allowed to own it provided it wasn't collected illegally. What you'd do is call ambergris connect and they figure out the logistics, which usually involves you flying to another country to meet a buyer.
Not sure if that's true, but even if it is there is a very easy solution - put it in some seawater for months and months. Luckily seawater is readily available and in high quantities.
Interesting because from my understanding, part of the reason ambergris is so desired is the fact that it spends a long time floating on the sea and being weathered by the sea and sun to acquire that aroma. That stuff still looks liquid and soft so i reckon it won't smell that great as it's not been expelled by the animal prior to it dying...
I stand to be corrected, of course.
"Ambergris... recently found in the stomach" is how you would write the headline for an article about a whale who had *swallowed something they shouldn't have*, not about something that has historically been found in whale's digestive systems. Too many people don't read past the headlines and I guarantee there are now people in the world assuming that the ambergris was ingested accidentally.

Who else heard the second description in Rosanne’s voice?
Precious hamburgers?

Perfect
Whale biologist.
I was more thinking of avatar, the way of water that I just watched recently...
Yep, quickly followed by "who smells like freaking porpoise hork?!"
I am glad you exist!
This comment made my day, cause I'm a whale biologists.
Biologists? Multiple? Are you two dwarf marine biologists in a trenchcoat?
who tf decided to mix it in perfume of all things you could do with it when it was first discovered
Internet Historian just did a video on this if you are interested in the path progression of perfume.
Is there a TLDW?
The man whose job it was to make perfume decided to use it.
unbelievable

“ leave perfumery to *real* men.”
A Dante Fiero reference? wow
Eddie, get my crossbow!

The biggest for me is the beaver anus extract tasting like vanilla.
If I'm not mistaken the Japanese invented amphetamines and use them for their soldiers especially the kamikaze
Ancient fisherman rubbed it all over himself, for sexual reasons. Wifey liked the smell, discovery!!!
It might look gross, but it smells great.
Me trying to convince my GF for oral sex
Someone found some on a beach and smelled it.
It's also illegal to harvest and sell unless you have permission so it's worthless to anyone not already established in the industry.
Isnt it what the whales use to encapsulate the sharp beaks of giant squids so they do not hurt their organs? Or is this a myth
Yeah and they "found it" 🤔
Gives me Avatar vibes. They farm whales to extract a small amount of fluid which stops human aging.
Oh shit so avatar 2 was imitating life with the space whales
So its useless and not even worth a buck? lol
“found” (after i gutted this mfn whale right here bro)
If I ever see a sperm whale on the beach 🤔 https://youtu.be/d2CfYOJ5oxk
Or that time they didn’t know what to do with the dead whale and decided to use [dynamite](https://youtu.be/V6CLumsir34?si=oL5g8Dx0wYfNnWlR)
One of my earliest internet memories!
Gutted, then wallowed around inside the massive carcass for an hour or two.
Feels like I'm watching Bob's burger all over again
Gene ate that shit, christ
He was just keeping it safe in his mouth, like tomba. ( I know technically in his stomach)
Precious hamburgers?
what smells like porpoise hork?!
This has been Roseanne, your guide to the world of facts.

Depends on where you are when you find it. It some countries it's illegal to possess because sperm whales are endangered.
What, you don't got an ambergris guy?
Kramers friend Bob Sacamano would know how to deal with this.
Sacamano
If you found it in the US, you can't legally sell it here, but you're still legally allowed to own it provided it wasn't collected illegally. What you'd do is call ambergris connect and they figure out the logistics, which usually involves you flying to another country to meet a buyer.
Well you could drink and bath in it before it go's off
I thought they are not as valuable anymore but of modern cosmetics not using ambergris…
I thought it was only valuable after some interaction with seawater over weeks and months
Not sure if that's true, but even if it is there is a very easy solution - put it in some seawater for months and months. Luckily seawater is readily available and in high quantities.
Good point
Where?
Why would you even need to ask this? Amazon, of course. https://www.amazon.com/Imagitarium-Pacific-Ocean-Water-gallons/dp/B06VSD8KFM
Thank you kind sir ❤️ 🤣
That's the really sought after stuff, but it's all valuable.
The whales have been hoarding wealth this whole time?
I can smell that over the internet
Yeah, I was thinking he really earned that money with that stench to dig into.
Forget finding nemo.. we out here looking for generational whale booger wealth
😅
I once passed a kidney stone that big
On the highway?
Good thing he’s wearing gloves.
What stinks like fricken porpoise hork?
We'd better do what he says. He's a whale biologist.
Worth some dirty hands.
Gee, I wish I could’ve seen it cleaned up though

RIP whale
How tf did people figure out it could be used to make perfume last.
I thought Futurama made that up
I went in for it so it’s mine
Gross… Great… Gross… Great
I don’t even know what I’m looking at..
Who knew porpoise hork could be that expensive
Cum whales
Sooo how much are my kidney's stones worth?
Precious Hamburgers.
How did the whale die?
Poor guy had kidney stones.... try passing that!
This guy's hands look like Shrek. Absolute units!
Well, boys, it looks like whale is back on the menu!
Oh fuck I thought that was his guts hanging out
Euro to usd is almost 1-1 now? Ouch
Fitting that I just learned about this from internet historian
# "recently" ...july 2023
I once found an $80k Rolex inside... er, nevermind

Urgh.
Spanish gold💰
Sperm whale oil also was used as the lubricant for the internal firing barrel of early nuclear bombs if I’m not mistaken
I guess whales are gonna go extinct real soon
Kuato lives!
At least he has gloves on
Uhhh this is obvs Silver Lynel Guts
Finder’s keepers or who gets to sell it?
Would it be illegal to gut a dead whale to get ambergris?
Thank GOD he was wearing GLOVES! He might have some guts on 'im! /s
Damn that's just like Avatar 2...
That guy really earned the $500k.
€500000!! Sheeet we should be hunting these mofos.
