The cut to the lab floor after saying it was fragile immediately let me know what was about to happen

Did this experiment when I was a kid, but didn't know how fragile it was until I slammed it on the floor

His mum: Honey!! Can you boil some eggs for lunch please!!!! NileRed:

I'm convinced that Nile is chucking random stuff onto the floor because the floor is an ancient demon with insatiable hunger that he must appease every day.

"I've been wanting to do something weird with an egg" *Eyebrow Raise*

It's not often you demonstrate science project ideas that kids can actually try 👍👍

This is a very VERY rare occasion where you CAN try what Nigel is doing at home.

1:17 That sound 😂

The cool thing is, eggs without shells occasionally occur naturally! Every so often, when a bird is developing an egg, the shell simply doesn't form due to a variety of factors.

I once watched a tv show where they did this and I was eager to try this out. In the video they used the egg as a bouncy ball throwing it on the ground from standing height. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when the egg didn't bounce back up again and just splattered all over the kitchen floor...

I wonder if this method could be used to deep-fry an egg

I really love the fact that you pointed out that it's fragile and demonstrated how much of a mess it can do if you think of it as an actual bouncy ball Trust me, I tried it when I was a kid, and splatter egg on a society's main entrance and was scolded a lot xD because I thought we could use it to play catch

*For a while now, I've been wanting to do something weird with an egg.* Ok, this is definitely the best intro to a KZfaq video I've seen in my life. And I've been literally living on KZfaq for 10 years.

Chemists doing "something weird with an egg": heehee bouncy egg Alchemists doing "something weird with an egg": *homunculus time*

I love this dude, he gets straight to the point 💪💪

ngl when Nile says "I want to do something weird with an egg", it can really range from something as simple as this to nuclear fusion

The chemistry department at my college recently had an open house where we did science demonstrations for the community, and this was one of the demonstrations that we did. If you add alcohol (we used isopropyl) to the calcium acetate solution it forms a gel that is highly flammable. From what I understand, the water molecules in the solution surround the calcium and acetate ions, preventing them from interacting with one another. When isopropanol is added the concentration of H2O is decreased to the point where the interactions between the two ions are favored and they begin to form a web-like system of interactions that forms a gel at the macroscopic scale. Just thought that was a fun part two of this experiment to share with anybody who might wanna try it for themselves

"For a while now, I have been wanting to do something weird with an egg" Is something we don't hear everyday. And would not want to hear everyday.

“It’s quite fragile” *Smashes the egg and immediately made a Pringles beard*

“For a while now, I have been wanting to do something weird with an egg” *immediately checks comments*

Your janitor must have such a fun time. "What am I going to clean up today?""biological waste? Toxic waste? Who knows, surely not me. "

"For a while now, I've been wanting to do something weird with an egg" That is just a sentence for life, regardless of context

I feel like everybody tried this experiment as a kid. Certified classic.

I tried this in 6th grade like 4 years ago and I played with it so much it popped open. I loved doing this back then I use to think it was magic while here I am studying brief about it

I remember as a kid seeing an episode of Beakman's World where they did something like this. Got some vinegar a jar with a lid and placed and egg in it. Over a week or so later, I got it out for it to be just like this. Blew my mind as a kid and got me in to science. It also stunk so bad.

I did some experiments with dissolving eggshells a few months-- years?-- back! Specifically about eating them, hard boiled, and how/if the order of boiling & dissolving changed anything, how the flavor changed between vinegar or citric acid, etc. Control: normal egg, sat in water for the days the others sat in food safe acid solutions. Tasted & felt normal. Pre dissolved shell: intensely flavored with the acid used to dissolve the shell, never got the thick rubbery consistency of a typical hard boiled egg despite going way over the usual necessary time for it. Only difference between vinegar & citric acid was the flavor / presence or lack of undissolved crystals, bc my citric acid is stored dry. Both were slightly larger as you mention in this video. Boiled then dissolved: size remained the same as the control group/ before dissolving. The whole egg tasted of the dissolving acid agent, but unevenly-- the outside bit of the egg tasted more of it than the inside, iirc. Again, little different between the vinegar and citric acid. Conclusion: as a way to get around having to peel the shell off a boiled egg, dissolving it off isn't practical unless you want your eggs to taste pickled 😂

I might try that at home and thanks for the idea and here's a gold star 🌟

Omg that looks soo satisfying

I love how Neil always finishes his shorts by throwing something at the floor/wall!! 😂 He somehow knows that that's what we actually want to see!!

"...and it's quite fragile." No! No, Nile. N- _Squeesh_

out of all the things i have seen nile do this is probably the most normal one

The most mind-blowing video I've ever seen on youtube.... and it's about an egg. Who would have thought lol

"do something weird with an egg" Ok Nile

He is slowly solidifying my (and everyone's) belief that he is becoming the HowToBasic of chemistry.

This is awesome, I had just learned about ocean acidification and this is a great example of the acid dissolving the calcium I'm show this to my teacher thanks

I love this video because this something we can all do at home!

1:04 i know that masculine urge

0:49 thats what she said

i feel like we did this in the grade school I went to. Mans is bringing back some DEEP forgotten memories I didnt even know I still had!

The splat at the end *chef's kiss*

"It's kind of just a firm but squishy sac." Same, Nile. Same.

"For awhile now, I've been wanting to do something weird with an egg." -video goes off

I was waiting for him to do that. Very satisfied.

The sound when the part holding it all together hit the ground was gold.

In our culture, we cook boiled eggs in highly concentrated vinegar with some other foods and the resulting stew is super high in calcium content and people always make these for people who have just given birth (to recover lost minerals). Tastes super good as well :)

It's so interesting that the membrane didn't dissolve like the shell did, that shows how such a thin thing could protect an entire egg.

Love that sad slap of the thin egg membrane hitting the floor at the end.

Reminded me of that egg slime they used to play with in middle school

I love your experiments!

I remember doing this in science class as part of learning about osmosis when I was a kid. After the eggs lost their shells in the vinger we measured their mass and circumference, we put them into distilled water, corn syrup, and brine for a day or two afterward and did the same.

The last splat sound was for some reason funny

I remember doing this in middle school! It was really fun. We also colored them with food dye.

Lol! Love the "adding insult to injury" moment when Nigel shakes off the skin to plop onto the floor next to the rest of the egg 😂😂😂

I anticipated it being satisfyingly smooshed but the slap of the membrane hitting the floor absolutely got me 😂

you make it so simple but yet it is so hard

We need a Chemistry teacher like you😀😀😀😀😀😀

I guess you can say Nile decided to...egg it on.

lol cool 😎 i always asked my parents to do this and they always said no this pleases me

I literally flinched when you squished the egg

I remember doing this in my freshman biology class, actually it’s one of the very few things I remember from that class.

Lol you can clearly see how the yolk said, "nope, I'm outta here bitch" and got out instantly, unscathed, falling into its demise...

You know it will be good when Nile sais: For a while now...

I have done that on school, I kept it for more than one month, it was pretty cool!

Whenever you see that classic camera angle of Nile holding something in his hand u know-something bad is gonna happen

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT

Finally, an experiment I did at home when I was young.

I've done this before. It's really cool!

The best part...the splat at the end 🤣🤣

NileRed: it’s quite fragile Me: he’s gonna destroy it, isn’t he? NileRed: *squishes egg and egg juice gets all over the floor* Me: Called it.

anyone felt that pain at 0:56?

I’m definitely trying this

Nile to the egg: peace was never an option

I remember my brother chasing a chicken at a friends house and it - in its panic - laid this exact type of egg. It was weird and squishy.

You can actually do this with bones and they become really squishy.

"For a while now, I've been wanting to do something weird with an egg" That's a stranger combination of words😂

"For a while now, I've been wanting to do something weird with an egg" - NileRed *Makes egg grenade*

I remember doing this in 7th grade science class, leaving an egg overnight in vinegar, our teacher had one that he left in for a week and it was brown and almost solid

I'm not even gonna say what sort of weird vibes, does this gives me.

You've just made Halloween much more fun.

I remember doing this at school, good times.

You know something's gonna be crazy when the floor becomes visible

I remember doing this in high school! It always said it felt like a water balloon. Never had the guts to squish it like you did here, though 😅

The date on the egg immediately let me know smth was about to go down

I had to do this in class one time and we literally did the exact same things you did without me even knowing you made this

Finally something that I can recreate to introduce my kids to science

0:39 i listened to the sound you make here about 30 times and i don't know why

I need to try this

The rubber egg was a thing in many kid science books. Glad to know it's still around

ok it's confirmed, he's become the chemistry how-to-basic

I work at an egg farm, and it's actually not uncommon for chickens to lay eggs like this.

You have earned my sub it was amazingly easy and the result was really funny and now my friend won't eat eggs

Anybody here remember Card Crusher? Because that's what I was reminded of at the end.

"A firm and squishy sack"

I love the subtle chaotic energy his videos radiate

Best part bout this dude no parts 2

I needed that

Did this in my 7-8 grade science class. It was a lot of fun.

Whenever someone presents me with one of these eggs it takes everything in me not to slap the hell out of it

Man really made the bouncy orbs you buy at the nearby store

He always ends a video with a yolk, this one left me feeling eggstatic.
