Ok lemme just snatch something real quick

The fact you ate that made my day but also made me worry hope ya good brotha

this should be on r/diWHY

Ah damn, didn't do this as an electro boom crossover

I'm sure there was a nickle or tin plate on those clippers, and the green was likely copper, so yeah, probably not the best thing in the world for you gut, but not really poisonous. though maybe too often might resort in neurological damage from build up of metals. and more immediate would be digestive upset, like people who drink from pewter cups that include some copper in the pewter. Duct tape is vinyl however and should not be heated and consumed, and god knows what the adhesive is. All things considered, Brian has eaten glass and puts petroleum fuels in his mouth recreationally... so I feel like this is probably not the worst thing he's done to himself.

@@lolk4530 I agree.

In Brian's defense, I and many other people also would consider eating it. Why else would the question mark be there?!

Only one way to find out 🍽️

@@zacharyshaffer9986 Murphy? Yeah, probably because of Murphy.

You know he would

Truth confirmed.

Hey, what's that smell?

xD haha

No its worse than that. He probably give himself heavy metal poisoning.

@@UXASSAKY oh yeah the smell yeah thats Brian's convulsing body in the corner...... it wasn't an "accident".

Thank you. I was scrolling down and wondering if anyone was ever going to mention a double boiler.

Pretty sure it still wouldn't be, because they added the salt. The salt breaks into chlorine, which is a poisonous gas.

Not all that poisonous. Still hurts the eyes though,

@@williamchristy9463 well the food would still be safe...just not the air they're breathing

@@williamchristy9463 you should avoid salt in the big pot. Otherwise the water will boil at a lower temperature and that's not what you want.

Meh. He’s immune to pretty much everything by now

might not be rust, clippers are probably electroplated in chrome probably a lovely mix of hexavalent chrome and assorted metal oxides and chlorides from the salt. Even the same color as hexavalent chromium chloride. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJyCZdaFz9q5dqc.html

@@josephvanas6352 probably some lovely copper oxide from the wires as well

@@Dream146 probably, got to get those trace minerals in your diet right?

@@josephvanas6352 Fun fact for all the viewers who don't want to Google hexavalent chromium: exposure to hexavalent chromium generally only occurs under industrial conditions! It's hard to find easy-to-read information on ingestion of hexavalent chromium because it's so rarely ingested orally versus being breathed in, but at very least ingesting it is linked to stomach ulcers. Additional effects of hexavalent chromium exposure (both respiratory and oral because there's some evidence that they share effects) include increased risk of cancer, damage to the heart and lungs (mostly from breathing it in), skin ulcers from getting it in wounds, "liver abnormalities," and a lot of other bad things.

except pickles

“Brian Brushwood enjoys his lunch while being judged”

anything thats trash at least, he doesn't seem too fond of many common food products

Brian should honestly have a Scam Nation type cooking show where he cooks food in horrendous ways and eats them. Would be beyond hilarious to see.

Except for pickles, and mayo, and just about every single normal food item.

Whoops

Not to mention the breaking of sodium chloride (salt) means that water has had chlorine gas (very deadly) and sodium hydroxide (lye) in it, also.

Yeah, the chrome/nickel/manganese in solution is something that came to mind for me also. Probably not enough to do any real damage, but you never know with carcinogens.

Hexavalent chromium deliciousness. Gah. Seriously, this is not fun to watch. They could have tried making a double boiler at least.

Copper ions while unpleasant are mostly dangerous for bacteria and shit - unicellular organisms. Not so much for vertebrates. We use them to teat pool water for that reason. Chrome, though ... not so positive about that.

Having said that, the elements in kettles and stingers are made from nichrome ( nickle chrome ) and are perfectly safe so, like I've said in my comment, maybe the trick is to use the heat generated by the resistance of the metal itself rather than the resistance of the water. Could you not pass the current straight through the nail clippers in a complete circuit rather than have it have to jump through the water in an incomplete one, thus avoiding electrolysis all together? As I suggested, you could use nichrome wire to the same ends... Either that or isn't there a stainless steel high resistance wire you could use instead?

iron isnt dangerous to eat but the copper oxide from those wires can be dangerous, there are some oxides of copper we can handle and others that can kill or do some serious damage to our insides

Or the hexavalent chromium from the clippers coating, or the sodium hydroxide and chlorine from the brine electrolysis

@@ShardtheWolf The chlorine and sodium hydroxide are not the real killers here. (the sodium hydroxide might do some superficial damage but I doubt the concentration is high enough to compete with stomach acid , the chlorine is obviously bad to inhale but again , they did not breathe in the fumes directly so probably they have been exposed to fairly low concentrations) The chromium , zinc , copper and large amounts of iron oxide (but iron oxide has very low bioavailability so it might not be a problem , either) definitely are. It would be interesting to see Brian's blood tests after he ate this. Especially regarding minerals and heavy metals. If you guys can spam this in the comments he might do it , would be really cool to see. No way to measure the amount of toxic organic compounds (that formed during the electrolysis of the ramen itself , aka the carbohydrates containing carbon - halogenated carbon compounds , heavy metals mixed with organic molecules and so on) he has consumed , though. But if nothing horribly bad happens to him within the next month or so then am sure he will be fine...

Heavy metal toxicity is not a good way to go

There are no heavy metals in either though...

@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 Ramen IS a heavy metal

@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 thermite=powdered aluminium + powdered iron oxide. Then this with the rust and whatever might have been coating the clippers. If those clippers were stainless steel I'm pretty sure you're meant to strip the coating before you do anything or else it's pretty toxic but I might be misremembering that.

That's a pretty metal way to though.

I'm sure its just like a more delicious Iron pill.

The rust isnt good. The chlorine and sodium hydroixe that forms from brine electrolysis are probably more immediate threats.

Not to mention the numerous organic chlorine compounds and metal halides, dioxine...wow. long term not good at all

Ahhh.. he'll be fine...

Chromium... to be more specific, oxidized chromium. A very high chance he just ate a bowl laced with hexavalent chromium. Reset the counter...

yeah i have no idea why they didnt just use the wires

@@marblemarble7113 surface area if i had to guess

@@zackburton7500 just strip more of the wire?

@@zackburton7500 They could have literally just bought some copper wire and tied it to the ends to extend it.

@@Soulshocks Exactly, can't believe they didn't do some research on this. Stainless steel ( 10% chromium at least ) plus electrolysis... bad news as soon as the water started turning yellow there. Articles about chromates and hexavalent chromium are like "poisonous, can cause skin problems, carcinogenic, dumping on the ground or down the drain is illegal... to dispose of it, allow it to evaporate into powders and dispose of the powders in sealed containers during your local "hazardous waste clean-up days". Or, just eat it, I guess?

@@Soulshocks Dont forget the chlorine that can form during electrolysis of salt. This might be the dumbest, and most dangerous thing they have done to date.

@@idjtoal typically in a lab setting, the hexavalent chromium compounds have to be reduced to Cr 3+ with a huuuuge excess of whichever reducing agent you are using, reducing their toxicity by a ton

OK, now I want to see a collab with Modern Rogue and Adam Savage (and heck Jamie as well, but I'm guessing he's withdrawn from public life and that's why Tested is now called Adam Savage's Tested, and not Adam And Jamie's Tested like it used to be).

They're the Netflix adaptation?

@@alee_enn it’d be mind blowing if they manage to get Jamie on board hahah, these boys and Adam savage would click well though totally

Its far more likely to be chromium or nickel oxide from the nail clippers outer coating. While they are steel, they're chrome/nickel plated. The real danger (aside from electrocution) is heavy metal poisoning from the chrome/nickel, copper, and whatever other contaminants are in the steel

Everyone should upvote this. He needs to get a heavy metal test. They probably just need to take this video down or put a HUGE warning first. Jesus this is so stupid.

@@silencerbear9347 dont worry theyre not heavy metals so eventough its stupid they did this they wont die from this amount unless they already have bad health issues Might be midly sick for a few days untill its all filtered out though Also they have a whole team that does research before filming in case an idea has lethal amounts of stupid in it and if thats the case brian usually gives a few extra warnings during the project

@@k1darknight dude they called it rust... they did not do any research whatsoever. And chromium is a heavy metal. Those clippers are chrome plated.

@@silencerbear9347 still the issue of the small dosage Ive lab tested water way worse than this from a chemical factories waste to see if they would still be legally allowed to dump it in the water in case someone were te swim and accidentally swallow a bunch This amount the body can handle also chrome/chromium is an intermediate metal just ask google I agree with you that its stupid and could use more warnings especially because children are stupid as hell but realistically speaking theres no reason to worry since the human body is strong enough to handle this and especially if they go to the hospital if they do notice anything wrong with them

"nom"

And chlorine..

@@sisbrawny yes damn.. i didnt want to see it when they added the salt -.-

Why boil your ramen when you can _double_ boil it instead? To avoid metal toxicity!

Friend we dream about but probably don't have.

also Jason telling Brian to take a bite of uncooked ramen because he knows he wants to haha i love their friendship so much

I want him to make a response video that would be awesome

Honestly itd be awesome if they did a collab

*story

Brian - "So, we have an internet show.." Doctor - "Got it, another 'maybe poisoned' case, please go to that room"

The thing about the bag was contributional, but the first sentence, you recited information that was already in the video.

Or another person said to put a smaller bowl inside the boiling rust water from the stinger water. Not as authentic, but wayyyyyyy safer.

"So he was in prison?" "No, it was much dumber than that."

ruh roh

Was thinking the same thing. Copper Oxide III is dangerous and toxic AF

hm maybe the clippers were nickle coted, and therefor it was nickleoxide.... (not only toxic, but also carcinogenic).

@@Mer112911 Good catch! I think you may be right. Nickel (II) Oxide isn't as dangerous as Copper Oxide... so I guess there is some light to this XD

Could also be chlorine, bc chloride anions loooooove electricity

Yeah they are basically making lye.

No playing with electricity will kill you far quicker than any chemical reaction can take place in this case. You only need 0.3 of an amp across your heart and bye bye.

@@SlyerFox666 its not the speed of the death thats scary its the lack of a quick death thats scary.

@@SlyerFox666 Kind of missing the point. We all know electric shock can kill you, so anyone trying this experiment is likely to take decent precautions for that, as was carefully shown in the video. The problem is that they neither realize what's now in the broth nor how much, and therefore can't accurately warn us against mimicking the video.

@@HarrisonMartinson No playing with electricity is not fun that was the point. Prick around with it and you'll end up dead quicker than eating rust that was my point, that I think you missed. 👍

Wdym a couple... he ate whole damn thing!!!!

@@mattsarvitisulfur5647 I didn’t say a couple, I said multiple.

"GAAAAW I gotta stop eating _rust"_

That's probably what they do in prison, too. lol

That is too much forethought for this show. Much easier to just eat poison and worry about it after the fact.

Double boiler!

I'm pretty sure this is how prisoners do it. Fill a saved garbage bag with water, put a smaller bag of water with the noodles in the bigger bag, then sting the water in the large bag.

@@noesunyoutuber7680 yes!

It would have been. The bacteria they were worried about in the pruno can't survive the acidity of the oranges. The case were it happened the prisoners had been using potatoes which are much less acidic.

@@Dream146 ewww why would you make potato wine that just sounds gross

Wait, under what circumstances would you have had to say this once, let alone multiple times over the span of years?

I have to disagree

OGNotAPussySlayer The military was a wild time in my life.

There isn't enough resistance in there to cook food. Maybe taking the graphite out of a pencil and making a heating element would work, but I don't know. At least it wouldn't put a bunch of rust in your meal.

Keeping it together would just create a short circuit and blow a breaker. Metal that small has basically no resistance. In this case, the wood and the water are the resistance that allows for heat to happen.

I still think of that as one of Santana's new songs.

Hey Jason could be Jessi!

I think the music when they added the salt helped alot

We have electric kettles too and they tend to be quite fast like 5 minutes compared to boiling water on the stove which is like 10-15 minutes

@@cupcakemenace2036 5 minutes isn't _that_ fast, but there are definitely electric kettles in America.

@@cupcakemenace2036 it is still quite a bit slower than if used at the higher voltage over the pond, and I've encountered a lot of people who just don't own one and don't want to own one where as here at least (Ireland) a kettle and a two slot toaster are in any kitchen or kitchenette

@@NyxEternal Mhm thats interesting but America does have pretty bad electricity safety measures when compared to other countries as far as electro boom has taught me lol so maybe that's why we have a lower current.

@@Supertimegamingify its fast enough for me considering my gas stove when using the rapid boil setting has taken upwards of 20 minutes for a full pot of water. I've never seen anything faster here in the US besides maybe boiling a couple cups of water in the microwave.

Wait... I think they _already_ did that.

@@TheRealAlpha2 Not with Brian's body they didn't

To be fair I watched this man eat a lightbulb...

He eats Fire, Lightbulbs, and shoves Nails up his nose. His "eating habbits" are probably more than a "concern". O.o

eating fire and nails and glass is reasonably safe and he explains why. They're magic acts because they seem dangerous, but really aren't. Drinking toxic heavy metal residue is way way way more dangerous than all of his magic acts combined. He's being stupid because he doesn't understand the risks he's taking, I think he might be more worried after reading this comment section than he was during filming

To be fair, heat alone does that too (that's kinda why baking works at all), though admittedly to a lesser extent.

yeah I mean Ramen already are alkaline as fuck but cooking them in chlorine and lye (cause that's what you're turning your salt into) not smart plus a (not so) healthy mix of various metal oxides or hydroxides. yeah this was beyond idiotic

Except most people use electrodes made from some material that does not output large amounts of heavy metals to the water when you use them.
