It's great because sometimes there a lot of stories of mistakes that lead to unexpected discoveries that lead to useful inventions. However, in this story, it literally just went better than expected!

I know it's a joke but just fyi. Its non toxic

@@memejeff you are correct. But toxicity isn't the reason why. Its gonna clogg everything inside your intestines up and possible cause contact damage from sucking all the moisture from your sensitive soft tissue. Very painful death if not treated right away. PRETTY COOL RIGHT?

@@deepfreezzeer Not true, you could eat SAP and provided you downed a glass or six or water you'd just get the runs

I agree it's chemistry but nothing about it seemed simple.

Fun fact witches back in the day were actually holistic scientists that society refused to understand so instead they dubbed it magic. So technically, this is magic. Just, explained magic.

My grandfather invented it.

Is there any actual use for it outside of entertainment?

@@cypherusuh probably baby's diapers?

@@cypherusuh actually it is quite useful outside of entertainment it’s used in diapers and most other things like that that absorb water

@@cypherusuh Diapers, spill cleanup, they even use it in flood barriers. Pretty much any situation where you would want to rapidly turn alot of liquid into a small amount of easily contained solid.

Do you wear a helmet everywhere?

you could eat it and you would be fine. Don't recommend it though. It is used in diapers and pads so you probably already have touched it at some point

It's not dangerous to touch. My grandfather invented it. I've touched the stuff too. He did make a radiated version though, that I don't recommend touching.

I dunno man, I would have preferred it if he'd done that over your head rather than your laptop

i'd rather be doing big projects honestly, but I currently lack the space, power, and ventilation to pull them off

@@styropyroshorts well keep up the good work on the shorts, if nothing else, it'll stop people thinking you're dead, like last time...lol. Honestly, you make great content.

While I'm definitely not going to try this one myself, I'd guess that it would essentially behave like dietary fiber supplements (think psyllium husk) - it's quite inert, so if it's pure, it should be tasteless, odorless and non toxic. As long as it's fully hydrated, it also shouldn't block anything up too much. If I remember correctly (it's been a while), something not entirely unlike this stuff is actually used to treat certain digestive problems, but I can't be bothered to look this up right now.

Also, the water is adsorbed into the material, not chemically bound to it, so yes, it's basically infinitely reusable - though in practice, there's no good reason to, since it's cheap, plentiful and usually used to clean up spills of all sorts of (mostly water) liquids - especially ones that you don't want spreading around...

My grandfather invented it. He drank it. I believe he said it tasted like water. He had absorbed a glass of water with the stuff he got from a daiper

Omgg me to

doubt

my guess is that all of these have been considered but the cost of producing this stuff outweighs any mass-use

@@Ru77ian That seems to be the general consensus for the types of things

It can be reused, but is probably a horrible building material. It might fight tsunamis if you had enough of it, but that is likely very costly. Plus, salt makes the water come back out of it, so it may not fight tsunamis very good at all. Also, you'd need a way to store the stuff. Also my grandfather invented it.

Well not the entire tsunami at once no, they do have home flood barriers that use this stuff though but it would only really work against fresh water, salt water would lessen it's effectiveness if not entirely disable it depending on the salt concentration.water contained within It can be evaporated out slowly, dehydrated, or even microwave it to rapidly remove the water. It does have excellent thermal resistance to heat as well but as far as using it for a building material it wouldn't be stable enough on its own as the water in it would slowly evaporate out and just leave you with the powder again.

yes heat it to boiling temperature

just microwave it

Salt
