Apparently you saw that 400 battery video too.

I haven’t had TWO HOURS to dedicate to it just yet.

I just put that on in the background while I was cooking, cleaning etc. I actually watched the first 30 minutes like a normal video. During the rest, I was actively looking only about 10% of the time.

I usually watch these type of videos while WFH but I haven’t been able to these last few weeks.

Imagine having those explosions in the background during a meeting 😄

The slow motion video of the metal turning to vapor was mesmerizing.

A still from that video really looks like something from a space telescope. Small glowing dots and a gas cloud in the background.
