“Man, I love rain” The 10lbs of lithium in my pocket:

“It kind of scares me” Everything you do scares me

A moment of silence for the Casserole dish

I grow up in a programmer/electrician family and my father always told me that if you see a battery leaking (the white chunk on the shell), put it in a isolated box to throw away and check all the other batteries and remove the others who have those too. Otherwise it can be a fire/explosion hazard

After the explosion the neighbor called the cops and he was charged with battery.

"A little bit more reactive" *Fucking explodes*

If Batteries suddenly require a background check, or get nerfed to minimize effectiveness, we'll know it's because Nile showed us how easy it is to still access explosive materials.

I did not know this. I am a janitor at an elementary school. Batteries are thrown into the trash as are drinks, unsealed soda cups...

Didn't say "don't try this at home" so naturally I have to try this at home.

Nile is the type of guy to say "it's just a little mishap" while in a hospital bed with a missing leg and a trafficked organ.

Not me looking at my insulin pump strapped to me chest that has a lithium battery in it.

I think your problem here was that you used what looks like a pyrex dish (lower case it’s important). Old Pyrex was made from borosilicate glass which is highly resistant to changes in temperature, while new pyrex and other cheap glassware is soda lime glass which can shatter and explode if it heats up or cools down too quickly. What likely happened wasn’t that it was more reactive, but that the fire heated up the water which heated up the soda-lime glass causing it to explode. It was likely a drastic change in temperature to the glass causing the explosion, not the lithium itself. Edit: after reviewing again I can confirm this as the glass breaks first before the explosion.

“This is just a regular atom and what’s inside it scares me, just for fun though , I’m gonna split it.”

"Was that a gunshot?!" "No , just our neighbor doing experiments again.."

10000% increase in people opening batteries to see how lithium reacts in water

This is why airlines bans to take batteries in cargo deck

“Be a bit more reactive.” *creates bomb*

So this is why airlines are so paranoid of lithium ion batteries

I was changing a small lithium watch battery one day. I happened to have a magnet nearby. The watch battery got stuck to the magnet. It exploded. It's just like a bullet. That was the biggest lesson I learned. Be careful

And this is why electric cars that get into wrecks can turn into Ludacris reenactments of Michael Bay films.

•Sees sizzle•: “I can do that at home” •sees explosion•: “nvm”

“I’m very lucky it all turned out ok” RIP Casserole dish.

"This is just a normal engerize lithium battery" "Or is it?"

I work in the Fire/Smoke restoration business and those Lithium Ion batteries start a lot of fires. See a few from Electric Scooters lighting garages on Fire out of nowhere. If you have one of those scooters or electric bikes store it outside preferably.

"what's inside is what scares me" so naturally you cut it open and unfolded it like a Christmas present

Google : How to safely open a batter - you should not do it Bing :

It's double trouble because not only does the metal itself react, but elemental hydrogen is also produced and "when" it ignites you don't want it to be in a vessel with a narrow opening.

It's in the luggage compartment of every passenger aircraft. Let that sink in.

"It can be a bit more reactive..." Yeah, say that again. My jaw hasn't dropped like that in a minute.

“It can be a bit more reactive.” Understatement of the century, ladies and gentlemen.

I found out first hand do not leave lithium batteries in anything outdoors as the batteries can cause a fire, that is what happened one evening at the school I worked at as a custodian. Luckily my coworker spotted the fire, and between her and myself we put the fire out, the damage was some burnt siding. Ironically, the volunteer fire department that responded, was at the fire hall, less than 300 yards away, being trained on the dangers of and. how to deal with fires caused by lithium batteries

You never discovered it the hard way you always knew the chemistry.

“It could’ve been worse.” Glass exploded everywhere, Nile.

Nill green and Nile Blue: "Chemistry is dangerous" Nile Red: *"So I Opened Lithium batteries and Threw Lithium in Water"*

Yeah, we used to do loads of stuff like that in Chemistry . Chunks of sodium in water are fun too. Provided you don't do daft stuff to it, relatively harmless.

Of all the people I’m glad aren’t terrorists, this guy is up towards the top of the list.

What I see: *regular battery* What the airport TSA sees:

“It’s a bit more reactive” *hand grenade explosion*

And this is also what's in the most popular medication used to treat bipolar disorder.

“Water puts out fire!” Energizer: “oh yeah? How about fire exploding in water?”

Imagine spending $100 on fireworks when you have this

"It scares me but just for fun, I'm gonna open it up :)"

That's why there is a protective shell on the battery and warnings not to get them wet

"What's inside of it scares me" "I'm gonna open it up"

“A bit reactive” him saying that is like when the pot head friend says “this is a bit strong” lmfao

"Just for fun, I'm going to detonate this fission bomb I made."

Wife: "Honey!" You: "Yes" Wife: "Have you seen my casserole dish?" You:

“Do you have firework for 4th July? Nah, i got lithium

Forbidden bath bomb

“It all turned out okay” *As Nile’s shattered glass container lies unmentioned on the floor*

I remember when Lithium was becoming a “Thing”. I was living in Brasil at the time and Tourmaline was all the rage in the stones market. Lithium is associated with Tourmaline (Lithium of Tourmaline) and much like Mica in its formation. I kept telling the miners that I worked with to just stockpile it that it could be useful someday. Apparently, it wasn’t a useful form of Lithium? IDK, however, I do know that a hell of a lot of it was dumped in the piles and down mountainsides.

Now you have a little bit of an idea what firefighters are facing every time they approach another battery-operated car crash/fire. Think aboit the fact that battery-operated cars have thousands of times that much lithium in their battrry packs, then go look up "thermal runaway." While battery-operated car fires are omited from most corporate media (because they're all run by 5 corporations in the USA which are all run bu ecomentalists), these fires are becoming much mote common. Australia had had several dealerships burned down after lithium battery cell failures in brand new cars. These things make the Pinto look safe by comparison.

Nile doesn’t need an Oscar. He needs health insurance 💀💀💀

"It can sometimes be a *bit* more reactive" Yeah, the glass bowl breaking is just a *bit* more reactive

This guy sounds like he'd dress up a dull looking window rather than operate on a battery.

Macgyvet didn’t even know THAT ONE 😂

"It's a bit reactive." *Smoldering pile of glass and water still in shot*

"I'm very lucky it all turned out okay" The bowl: no, it in fact did NOT turn out all okay.

Now the sales of lithium batteries will increase. For making firecrackers.

POV you are being ganged up by 4 guys while it’s raining and you feel lithium in your pocket

"OH cool it catches fire in water" *explodes* 0.0

His neighbors “Shit Karen get in the bunker he put a bowl of water in front of his house”

“It can sometimes be a bit more reactive” *Explodes a Claymore*

"Honestly scares me" next scene "just for fun though I'm gonna open it up"

"It scares me." "Just for fun let's open it up."

Me: (Sees flame) "I have to try this" Lithium explodes Also me: "nevermind "

Now, imagine what the lithium batteries in your electric car can do. This is why I will only get an electric vehicle powered by SLA batteries.

Gonna start throwing lithium batteries in the bird bath when those nasty opossums show up😂

“But luckily for me, it all turned out okay” The plate: *what about me?!*

"It all went ok" The pyrex: it did not went ok

Atleast appreciate that lithium did not react with oxygen

News flash! Chemistry can be dangerous!

"It can sometimes be a _bit_ more reactive." *Freakin' bomb detonates*

“I’m glad it all turned out okay” The glass dish: 💀

You forgot the 'dont do this at home' IMMA DIE TONIGHT

Some idiot is going to be like "coooooool, free fireworks" and end up hurt after seeing this.

"So what was your murder weapon?" "A knife... Yours?" "Ah, uhm... A- A battery..."

This is why you're no longer able to ship these by air, and if you do, they have to be carefully labeled and extreme protective measures taken. A UPS plane was transporting these and caught fire and went down. When they catch fire, they burn very hot and very intense and it's almost impossible to put it out by any means, especially oxygen starvation. They have since improved protection and stowage and labeling for these things.

Venom - “Bro WTF, nah I’m outta here”

His neighbor : "Sleeping peacefully at night." Him : *POP. His neighbor : Here we go again.😒

*"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today"*

I guess you could say that battery was... *puts on sunglasses* ...honorably discharged.

Man, How do you always come up with these cool ideas?

Interviewer: "Okay Mr NileRed, what do you like to do in your free time?" "I have free time, yes"

"Lithium is dangerous" Especially when you unroll a lithium battery like toilet paper.

“Sir we don’t have any grenades anymore!” “It’s raining right?” “Yeah?” “ T H R O W T H E L I T H I U M”

Remember MacGyver? The guy who can make a bomb with chewing gum, a paperclip, and a Styrofoam cup?

"It kind of scares me" "But just for fun"

“I have some shrapnel in my eyes and caught a few splinters in hands and feet, but it all turned out ok”

I’m going to have to try that. Videos go back years of swollen lithium batteries smoking and sparking if you pop them with an ice pick.

I'm just gonna open it for fun. Proceeds to fiddle with nuclear warhead...

“I’d like to report a bomb threat” “Why yes, he does have Lithium Batteries” Thank y’all for all the likes, randomness really does help out 😂

“What’s inside scares me” *a few months prior: “Today I am going to sniff cyanide”*

I love that is just a piece of metal that usually has some kind of like a acidic liquid on that material just wrapped in the case and that the duration of charge has to do with the material the liquid that’s on the material when it runs out it runs out.

im gonna ignore the void liquid that escaped from the battery when it was first opened

“This is just a regular nuclear bomb, and what’s inside it kinda scares me”

"I'm very lucky it all turned out okay" Glass: Speak for yourself son

This is why the postal service refuses to handle anything with a lithium battery.

Well now I know how to do this... Next time my neighbors don't share their pool 🤣 lmao

“Whats inside honestly scares me” “But just for fun i am opening it up”
