4:20 What's mind blowing is the fact that they go down in an elevator that goes 40mph and they don't have any seatbelt or anything, just casually talking like it's nothing :D If that deathtrap really goes that fast downward... then they should be stuck to the ceiling... then to the bottom as they stop... and all of them should be in severe shock from the pressure changes...

@Al-vm7fx Жыл бұрын

Imagine using an elevator twice a day for 21 days straight. The excitement wears off pretty quick. You don’t get sick because you are not deep enough. Being at a depth of around 5000 metres is the equivalent of being 7 metres underwater which is not enough to produce decompression sickness.

@sirdeadless 2 жыл бұрын

Gold's value is inflated, but it is NOT completely useless, and diamond is in fact extremely useful. Gold does not tarnish easily and is one of the best conductors of electricity without cooling. Diamond has 1000s of uses, from drill bits to semiconductors.

@destroyerwill6122 2 жыл бұрын

This is incorrect, diamonds actually have many practical uses, being the hardest substance on Earth. It's just that they're really expensive from artificial inflation (but they can also be created synthetically in labs, which is likely to become the primary means of production). Gold also has useful properties but it's genuinely pretty rare.

If gold was more common we would use it literally everywhere, gold is very very very useful, great conductor, very stable, incredibly dense, very easy to smelt and melt.
