9:42 metal shards in shower head. They are solder from copper plumbing. If you overheat the pipes while soldering, long strands like this can form on the inside. Definitely a sign of improper soldering, if that’s what they are.

Ambergise is NOT whale poop. It's whale vomit and it's used to make perfumes and colognes.

The little doors are cat doors, but specifically, they are to allow cats access through your house for the purposes of pest control without having to keep your doors open. Handy since anyone who has ever had a cat knows they are never on the right side of a door.

Fun fact, Ambergris is used to make VERY expensive perfumes.

those eggs are vital for backyard chickens. it keeps the chickens from getting in the habit of eating their own eggs. it only takes one egg accidentally breaking once in a nesting area and the chicken eating it for it to be like 'oh yes! this is great!' then it learns that it can eat what comes out of it. keeping one of those fake eggs in their nesting areas helps because when they go to peck at the eggs, they'll peck the fake one and go 'ow, f@&#!' and it breaks their habit (they're usually ceramic, so super hard material).

I’m a Canadian. The little doors are for house hippos!

Robin really is the type to buy a worn down, dysfunctional piece of defunct technology but leave a 5000 dollar piece of ambergris on the shore smh

0:52 Nilered viewers immediately knew it was bromine

10:50 Ambergris is whale vomit, it is used to make perfume.

The tiny doors could also be due to superstition Specifically, the Brownie (or Broonie) which is a type of household spirit that enters at night and does housework in exchange for a bowl of milk or cream. And they will abandon places if they feel at all insulted or taken advantage of, so some houses implemented tiny doors to let them come and go easier to keep them happier Specifically the one leading from outside to the kitchen is what makes me think this. Since they would primarily be thought to do kitchen work. The basement could be to get to storage, for things like kitchen supplies and such (also, the baked item "Brownies" is likely named after the fairies, since they'd often leave "baked chocolate squares" for the homeowners)

I don't think the brown gas was bromine. Bromine is usually stored as a liquid. I think it's dinitrogen tetroxide which can be used to demonstrate the effects of heat and pressure on the chemical equalibrium of a reaction. In this case there are two states it can be in. Dinitrogen tetroxide (dark brown, similar colour to bromine) and nitrogen dioxide (yellowish colour). So yeah. Not nearly as bad as bromine but still horrible. Oh btw it's pronounced Bro-Mean, not Bro-Mein

In some places (such as the US), it's illegal to buy and sell ambergris. And since whales are endangered species, it can only be collected naturally from the ocean. It also needs to age for about a decade after excretion, as it initially smells bad. All those things combine to make supply highly limited, and since perfume is so expensive, makes it a highly profitable material.

The metal shards are drips of excess solder that leaked to the inside of the pipe, most likely on a vertical section. That's why you always run the water for a while, without the shower head, after sweating a pipe.

2:20 That's just the door to the button-eye world from Coraline. Would not recommend going through it, unless you want fake versions of your family trying to sew buttons in your eyes.

I feel like Robin's brain is getting wrinklier

0:41 i immdiately went "NONONONONO PUT THAT BACK DOWN DUDE THAT'S BROMINE!"

Tiny doors were for heating-oil deliveries! Long snurggly hose from pumper-truck to basement: tiny doors let it through without having to keep the big doors open.

I had my uncle help me install a cat door to my bedroom. Both me and my cat have high anxiety. She wants an easy escape at any time, but i need the door closed to feel safe. Its an excellent compromise.

The little door is clearly a passage to a mirrored version of our world wear you have a separate set of parents with button eyes and everything is perfect

7:41 “came the yawn” 9:38 “one eye closed here”

11:42 They're just a candy, not my favorite but they taste pretty good, would recommend it if you haven't tried it.

2:45, that's there in case a wizard shrinks you down, you don't have to climb all the way up the door to jerryrig a contraption to twist the doorknob and open the door. It's big enough to even fit one of their patented mini mobiles.

2:09 as a bdsm person I can say we don’t leave the masochist hanging there for 3 days. Case closed

2:20 What I think thats for is for a mouse, the tooth mouse (the (at least spanish) different version of the tooth fairy), there exist many of those in Spain to put next to/in your door for the mouse to enter and exit the room to steal your teeth.

10:42 Ambergris is technically not whale shit. It comes from a secretion in a whale's bile duct. It can come out either end, but it's not exactly vomit or shit. It's It's own unique thing. As for what it's used for, usually perfumes and incense. It's also used as an herbal remedy in some countries, and used to be used in food and drinks a long time ago.

5:21 - As someone who enjoys cooking but is not a professional, I can tell you this sink is most likely designed to be used for preparing vegetables. The center is for chopping, peeling, etc, while the sink is to quickly and conveniently rinse them off. It would also be useful for draining blood off meats, or other meat-fluids while cutting. Have you ever put your cutting board across the sink? Same concept. Rinse and prep your meal ingredients while saving space. Hence why it's called a prep sink.

8:43 Not so sure that's the simplest solution. Was probably a neighbor's kid making a tiktok, broke it in a rush to leave. Like if they were _supposed_ to be grounded, went out to make a tiktok, then got a text from their parents saying they were on the way home, queue chaos sprint back home. Tried to grab the phone from the magnet mount (can see part of the magnet mount was cleaved off), and either forgot the rest of the mount or they were in far too much of a rush to bother getting the base.

10:46 "Mmmm didn't know whale shit smelled good!" Wrong end, mate.

Finds weird, unidentifiable object on the beach, made up of some unknown matter. "Let's set fire to it" Ahhhh, humans!

11:38 tamarind spoons are so good! They look super shady when you buy them, but it’s solid candy

The cage is definitely a bale feeder, some herders would pull these being a horse or tractor to get a herd to follow to places they are not familiar with

Ambergris is actually something whales regurgitate! It isn't used so much in modern perfume, but old perfume or very high-end brands will often still use it. It's a waxy substance that has a good smell and it's used to make the scent of a perfume stick longer on the skin, so that it doesn't just evaporate away quickly after using it. And, since it's so hard to get, being barfed up by whales, it's exceptionally expensive.

2:28 TIL that Tom and Jerry doors were based on historical facts

11:44 With a mexican father these things hit home. Those fuckers are so damn good and it's making me crave some.

1:20 *55 years ago my school had that. Put the bottom in ice water. Droplets form inside. Bromine is harvested from the sea!*

15:06 I thought it was a pet bath. You throw some water in there for your dog or cat, and then drain it in your own tub when they're done.

Ambergris is whale vomit and is often used in high end/expensive perfumes.

10:15 Ambergris is used in the base of fine perfumes. I learned that from Futurama.

11:13 It's just tamarind candy

No answer for that shower head? Was it that gross or something?

Day 149 of guessing the editor. 0:10 I can hear Lancer's theme clearly, and I saw that one motion of sliding the image down after reading the caption. This was edited by Greg Zhao.

15:00 Well, where is Haywood Banks when you need him? Oh well, I'll do it.... "YEA TOAST!"

Ive always heard those tiny doors called "Faerie Doors."

10:00 ah yes, ambergris expensive and important to the perfume industry, but at the end of the day, it's just an expensive lump of whale barf.

12:25 in the victorian era they shocked people during seances to help them see pretty colors. they didn't have mini lights yet, so it was probably for the shocks.

11:24 omw these taste so good-

10:50 a very important component in expensive perfumes

5:15 I think its a cool idea. Robin is being strangely annoyed at this. Its most likely for putting down large bowls and letting the water fill without having to hold it. Chill, Robin.

11:36 You were right the second time, Robin. The tamarind is a seedpod that looks like a big, deep green peapod, but the pulp inside is bright red in color. It’s mostly used in Indian and Mexican cooking and can be added to sauces, chutneys, and desserts. It’s also a popular addition to candies. The tamarind spoon contains a blend of tamarind, sugar, and lime-chili paste. I also saw a smack similar to a BabyBottle Pop where the pop was a mix of tamarind and sugar that you could dunk into a lime-chili pepper powder.

i'm not here to say "i watched this video within 30 minutes of it coming out," i'm here because emkay is the only youtuber i watch and i have nothing to do

Run some electricity through the wires in that not-teacup and turn it into the best tea mug ever, self-heating!

3:15 The average cat is able to squeeze through spaces that are that tiny because they're almost entirely floof. And their actual body under the floof is smaller than their head.

10:00 100% Ambergris, just by the looks alone

0:52 I’m pretty sure that that is not bromine, but actually NO2/N2O4, which is used to show how equilibrium changes with temp

I hope that door doesn't lead to a different world with a spider woman that has buttons for eyes

This THING is called:

0:57 Looks Like Bromine to me

Another possibility for the small doors is they could be intended for squirrels rather than cats. Grey squirrels were the most popular pet in the United States when that house was built.

'Liking' because it's Emkay, and why the hell not? But *loving* because Robin used the word "cattywampus". We should all use the word 'cattywampus' more, but Robin especially so xx

14:54 love the lemon for scale

10:50 perfumes, i thought synthetics would have replaced them all but if its selling for that much then its still being used somewhere.

2:51 Come on, that's clearly a portal to a different dimension with a talking cat and button eyes.

coraline door but just for the dancing mice! sorry constant coraline brainrot

5:22 It would look more useful if the sink was flipped around so the faucet was mounted on the inside of the curve so as you swing the faucet from one side to the other, the stream of water stayed in the sink instead of going from counter to sink to counter as it would in this image... It would also look MUCH happier...the current sink looks like it's frowning at you... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

That Cage thing immediately got "Engel - Rammstein" stuck in my head, very cool clip

Thanks to Futurama, I now know that Ambergris is actually whale barf!

0:49 I think that's Bromine. If it's in a glass ampule and found in a science lab, and is a brown gas with a brown (almost blackish) liquid, then it's bromine.

7:09 Damn, I didn't expect to see an old pen from the college I graduated from :3

12:03 Looks like the table that was also a gun.

The prep sink.....you do your prepping (peeling, chopping, rolling, etc) right there in the front, and all the bits and garbage just get swept/pushed right into the sink as you go. I'll bet it has a really good garbage disposal hooked to it. No, I don't have one and I wouldn't want one. 😄

10:10 that thing is expensive, they hit the gold with finding.

Jerry finally got some security on his house ... about time !

Thanks to a Nancy Drew game. I immediately thought faking a séance when I saw the table of wires.

5:23 my best guess is it's designed to have filter-like inserts that you can slide across, so you have someone put lets say lettuce in a thing, and slot it in on the right. you slide it in front of you, to wash it, then slide it to the left so that the next person can pull it when they're ready for it, assembly line style. that's the best i've got, and i feel like that's giving a lot of credit. i can ask someone who's worked in the food industry though, they might have insight.

My dad bought fake chicken eggs to trick snakes into eating them. I think he cut open a snake one time to retrieve one of the fake eggs.

Whale "stuff" is used to make perfume. That's why it is 1) rare 2) expensive and 3) gross

15:41 that's clearly an ice-cream tub load it up with your favourite icecream grab a spoon get in the tub and go to town

The tube of bromine is used for mass spectroscopy. You use the wavelengths of light given off by a substance to identify it. It's basically how we know what distant stars are made of. Also, "did you cook the bread?" "Yes." "Well, cook it again!"

That's where Jerry lives.

The prep sink makes sense! do your cutting etc in the curve and then sweep the remaining in almost any direction away from you to dispose of it!

10:58 I immediately saw those and said “cucharas de tamarindo!” I love those

Those bookmarks are so smart... Can't tell you how many times I've forgotten an entire chunk of a book because I got sleepy.

9:54 lol i really dont know if this is bait or not, cuz those are textbook descriptions of ambergris 😂

The thumbnail is gonna give people coraline flashbacks💀

2:35 is most likely a cat door so that it can move around easier and catch rats and mice around the kitchen and the basement. When there isn't a rodent infestation around your pantry, you just latch it.

4:45 he called this house ugly. Like what?

Just find crazy that Clement Ader, after dabbling in telephone based zoom calls, just casually made the first true aeroplane 💀

15:48 i might put my soap there

8:45 OR.., now hear me out. package thieves marking your mailbox as a clear target. probably to remember where you are. i REALLY hope im wrong

The whole video is like: "Oh, that is something not good"; *Reads the explanation* "Oh, that is something really good."

You've worn a tie 10 times? Well, La-di-da, Mr. High Society! 😂

3:11 i think these door are intentionally small to not allow the dog through.

15:35 Not surprised that that little tub would be used for plants considering this whole tub looks like it was built in the 80s. Putting plants everywhere was IN back then alongside mauve carpet and shiny brass and glass shelves and vanities. My mom actually has such a vanity.

ambergris is used in perfume etc mainly because it helps the perfume actually last and not fade right away. fun fact many emperors//kings and such fancy people in the past would eat ambergris, just in case in being in nice smell stuff wasn't weird enough haha.

8:31 whoa someone woke up at the wrong side of the pillow

Dear God it's Coraline all over again.....

16:00 I don't think so, most plants require drainage in the pot. I have no idea and I'm sure it would be a lovely place for a plant but I don't think that's it 🤔🧐

Tiny wrapped spoons are likely homemade candy. And I mean candy, not drugs.

Who else thought the mini bath was for when you wanted to wash your baby while also having a bath yourself? 😂

That gas is bromine a toxic gas DO NOT BREAK THE GAS! 0:46
