It's like, consciously I know how dense mercury is being metal. It cognitively makes perfect sense that a tub of the stuff would be extremely heavy. Actually physically seeing it, my brain doesn't accept it. It looks like I should be able to grab that tub and lug it around with a little effort.

You gave to imagine the mercury as a solid

@@jupiter_okan Why imagine a liquid as a solid if it's not a solid? Is that really the best way for us to understand things -- by pretending those things are not what they really are -- instead of just training our brains to be better at understanding the things in the world around us as they _actually_ are?

@@davecarsley8773 in the sun from some angles it just looks like water and you can imagine that thing is heavy but not unliftable like a massive steel block that size.

Mercury is the heaviest liquid because it is the densest liquid.

I miss the old mercury filled thermometers. You will never convince me that the alcohol filled ones are as accurate.

@@thevirtualtraveler mercury thermometers are the most accurate. These times it's very easy to convince people to fear anything.

However the mercury is still dangerous if it reacts with something else and ends up poisoning animals.

​​​ They're not. Mine never give me the right temperature. They give me different results too.

Craigslist Assassin underrated comment lol

yes, he once said it was his favourite element.

With all that mercury available, who wouldn't? Cody's videos made me love mercury even more

U mean some of that fragmented mercury?

Yes but I only drink it from Glass skull bottles

I only drink dimethyl mercury

August Sawzak Yes!! So glad someone mentioned this.

Mercury doesn't soak up, it's too dense for that.

It's not really the density that causes it. Mercury is extremely cohesive and less adhesive than water, that's why it can clump together to create those big droplets and generally doesn't stick to surfaces. Water "sticks" more easily to another material and makes less big droplets which will end up in the porous structure of a paper towel. On top of that water also sticks to paper towels because of the cellulose fibers, which it will cling to even more.

the Methias

Nothing terrible happens most of the time when falling on his face. however he lost 10 years of life expectancy doing it x)

Oliv étom An proof for this claim?

Nah it was more of a joke. However you can search on Wikipedia for gas toxicity of metal mercury (when oxydized it releases few amounts of mercury that goes in air and when you breath it, it goes to lungs, becomes another chemical form of mercury which is neurotoxic), and about the ridiculously low amount of mercury required to get intoxicated. He's totally responsive of his own life but I would certainly stay very far away from this mercury bath :p

Oliv étom Ok lol. But, this mercury is not oxidized it is room temp. When the mercury is boiling then it releases a toxic gas.

Actually it evaporates at room temperature. If he does what he did in this video twice in a lifetime, I believe it's quite OK, especially being outside (well ventilated area, I guess :p)

The KZfaq two week suspension changed him 😱 Now he's afraid of being flagged for anything silly 😥

It looks like he has a open wound on his finger during his explanation shots maybe that is why

Sorry I’m new around here, what happened?

Yups..i agree

I definitely agree. Cody's awesome. I wish that there was more people like him.

What do you think about that vid about getting metal from bones he did last month, pretty neat right?

Somebody didn't watch the blood test result video. The only brave part of this is the chance of losing balance. Touching mercury is not remotely the same as eating things that have _compounds_ of mercury in them, like all the fish some "healthy" people may be eating too much of. Sodium makes explosive fire in contact with _water._ Chlorine is poisonous. _Sodium chloride_ is a vital part of our physiology in proper doses, and makes fried potatoes taste better.

Or maybe something like a clothesline. Or maybe hold a balance stick like people walking across a high wire.
