Either he has performed these tests before or has extreme confidence in that pot.

Shrapnel is a thing.

Yeah I was very suprised they didn’t accidentally create a shrapnel bomb.

I guess those who do aren’t able to upload videos afterwards…

Honestly the video made me a little curious what brand of pot he was using, because despite the deformities it looked surprisingly good at the end. Like you could mangle it back into shape, wipe off the gunpowder residue, and start cooking without much issue.

Turns out it was a really elaborate add for a pot

[-] realitista@lemmus.org 4 points 9 hours ago

At what point are these just bombs? I'd imagine that last one is at least a grenade if not quite a bit more. And concerningly short fuse on that last one.

I was somewhat worried this ends like a similar video I have seen where the person in the end is almost hit by a shrapnel when the pot literally explodes.

Oh hell yes. This is what the internet is for.

I wish I was having this much fun

[-] asbestos@lemmy.world 30 points 22 hours ago

Actually very interesting and satisfying as hell

Almost skipped this and then I read your comment. So, thank you for commenting I guess?

I didn't know china also let you buy fireworks in the "well it's not intended for use as a bomb" strengths too

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 12 hours ago

China is like THE fireworks country in my mind. Idk if thats even true but yeah, for some reason im not surprised.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah but I associate them with small fireworks. I generally think of only America letting you have incredibly dangerous and stupid stuff, and some of those firecrackers count.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 20 hours ago

And much more

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 15 points 22 hours ago

Really pleasing noises.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

I enjoyed this video.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
