Georg Friedrich Hildebrandt
Georg Friedrich Hildebrandt (5 June 1764 – 23 March 1816) was a pharmacist, chemist, and anatomist. He was an early supporter of Lavoisier's theories in Germany. He investigated mercury compounds, and the chemical nature of quicklime, ammonium nitrate, and ammonia. He studied light emitted by electric discharges through air and investigated the use of nitric oxide to determine the oxygen content of air. He developed a method to separate silver from copper. He wrote textbooks on pharmacology and human anatomy, and treatises on smallpox, sleep, and the digestive system.

gollark: Personally, probably not, though partly because I'm just used to really low-resolution monitors.
gollark: Discord could and you maybe could because browsers also cache stuff locally, but in practice... probably not?
gollark: Yes, that's what I mean - if you see an image in Discord it's been fetched by their servers.
gollark: So what you can do is send the actual image if *Discord* asks, but send a redirect if a regular browser asks.
gollark: I think Discord actually caches images you see on its end, even ones linked from external sites, and the HTTP requests to it are distinguishable from normal browser ones..
