I thought the same Jordan

The most impressive thing is casually has a spare toilet

*then casually decides to submerge his hand in said mercury*

thank you, I thought the same thing xD (yes, first video i'm seeing in this channel)

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuuuuh

Back that Mercussy up for me

no hes fingering it in the ass

Oh, he's going to be shaking all right.

Hey, just visiting from 2074. Our primary food source is actually a mercury/gold alloy manufactured by the UCU (United Citizens United) it serves as both food and currency.

At least now you know hahahah

That was the moment you became chemistry teacher

For me, 2 AM + a lot of cheap vodka.

Did you just use more mercury?

See, you made a mistake by having 200 lbs of mercury, instead of 240.

Me too!

You too? Man I was searching the internet to find a way to get this goddamn merkery out of my terlet!

Yep.......yep u did

Flushing mercury down the toilet can be bad for the environment

Everyone like the comment that is two comments above from mine.

Ashin Kusher thanks captain

This idiot (Matt G) didn't seem to notice that not all of the material was recovered, nor did this idiot (Matt G, still) consider that the lack of warnings about the substance, proper demonstration of safety equipment (e.g. gloves, or a contained lab), the lack of proper explanations (like why the EPA would be 'on his ass' for contamination), and the lack of discouragement from repeating this in a real toilet is reckless and irresponsible. Personally, I don't understand how this is allowed on KZfaq being that it is essentially a simulation of an act of terrorism being that in a 'real setup' that innocent lives would be at stake due to how sewers function and what happens to waste in the process. This person has demonstrated that he clearly does not deserve the right to possess mercury and I hope this video leads to a restriction of his access to it and chemicals like it.

was reading through the comments looking for someone to complain about the environmental hazard before watching it, and was also expecting someone to mention something about the s-bend

What was difficult to predict about this experiment?

dovregubben78 Whether it would flush or not. And the result was interesting because it did flush, then it didn't flush, then it did again under different circumstances.

I did not find that difficult to predict, Firstname Lastname. Mercury is 13 times denser than water.

Philip Nessi so? No one cares

Philip Nessi nvm I did read it right

He made the mercury himself? :S Guessing no one of you guys follow him, safety is also not his main priority.

Hs grandpa actually acquired it years ago - its in another one of his videos - 'where did i get all my mercury' or something like that

lol he literally states at 10:55 the difference between metallic mercury and mercury nitrate. Because of that reason, there is no harm that can be caused (other than with open wounds, obviously) by touching metallic mercury with your bare hands

Trespassing on the ranch

Mercury will start evaporating at room temperature and especially with the amounts hes handling and the constant movement there will be mercury in the air, its outside which helps but safe is still a word i wouldnt use.

“Safe” is definitely an oversimplification, but that is the gist. Cody knows chemistry, knows the risks, and takes precautions to help protect himself. Like he alluded to when flushing the full tank of mercury, elemental mercury is still really dangerous if it comes into contact with an open wound, a sore, or a mucous membrane like the mouth or nose. Like another commenter pointed out, mercury will evaporate at room temperature, and *breathing* mercury is definitely way worse than just touching it. There’s also the possibility of the mercury reacting with something unexpectedly to produce a much more dangerous material - you don’t know all the chemical properties of the toilet bowl material or the plungers, for example. Different compounds could be far more dangerous, and in a setting like this there’s not much control you can implement to monitor or prevent unintended reactions. Basically, don’t do chemistry at home, don’t do chemistry without a lab partner, don’t do chemistry without a chemistry education. Stay safe, folks.

If i remember correctly cody put some mercury in his mouth in a Video but i think he deleted it

I'm pretty sure they've seen worse

@@netajithevar296 idk man 240lbs of Mercury is quite a bit

Netaji Thevar yeah they've seen alot of crazy "SHIT" down there get it get it🤣

Death penalty0 bruh 🤣🤣

I tried to send them some sodium but all it did was leave me without a toilet.

thechosendude where did you hear that?

thechosendude They wouldn't even have a mercury thermostat in the first place?

I remember 30 Years ago some kids were playing with mercury from the pumps at an abandoned gas station and yeah they closed the streets for several blocks. This was before people really knew what hazmat meant, lol.

If you get busted for 'flushing dangerous material in Denmark you could go to Jail.

When I was young we used to play with mercury. In the early 1950s it was interesting not a poison that it is known to be now.

Didn't even put on plastic gloves what a madlad.

Thank goodness he rinsed off his hands.

@@BAGELMENSK You don't need to wear gloves if you don't have cuts on ur hand

It's elemental. You could drink it, just dont get any in your blood Dont do that, obviously.

Aaah, can't you think of own comments? Everyone is just copy pasting those cheap comment patterns 😑

How bout who HAS? It seems stupid if you don't know that your toilet PROBABLY can't flush one, but some probably could flush one tbh

Lava Lyrics wow you haven’t done it before? Missing out man

Pretty much try this daily, except Tuesday because I work late

@@MelodicTurtleMetal no excuses, flush them at work

You could just chuck into recycling

Someone smart enough to get 7.5m monetised views on KZfaq, I suspect. The fact that you had to ask that would indicate he may be a tad more clever than yourself.

Sure. I might THINK that.This guy follows through.

Scientist

Oh it’d be nice if I filled a toilet with mercury and flushed it

A very intelligent and curious scientist, who also loves to educate and entertain the average Joe and/or Josephine's in this world. I found it fascinating that the bullet would float while the gold and the tungsten sank. Gotta love science !

He likely bought before the price increase. Also, the $4000 price tag is per flask (76 pounds), not $4000 each pound. But, if purchased in 2016, he likely paid (4000/76) * 240 = ~$12,600

J Ingram yes I thought the same

@@ilovelemonisland2 ah! my mistake! I just looked it up and your totally right! that's still a lot to pay but it makes a lot more sense! thank you!

You do notice that he used a solid bar of tungsten as a weight and threw in a bar of gold to sink through the mercury right? He must be loaded, considering each of those materials is costly.

@@theraven5850 even a toz of gold was "only" 1.4 k at the time this video was published, and elemental tungsten is only about $20 a pound.

but what's the purpose of this experiment?

the exact reason I watched it too.

Not "cool" - necessary, or he would go to jail for a really long time

Saw this video while I was listening to an audio book as homework, immediately left the audiobook and watched this for the same reason..

Nothing at the moment. Most sciencitifc achievements are completely useless until the day someone realises they are not. That's why we fund space research and physics.

The Sarcastic Shu Omg same Like I came on this video ready to rant if he actually put it down the sewer But he didn't so that's all good

Scrolled down the comments before the 30 second mark just to find the complaint/relief. Thanks for allaying my fears!

I hate politics bc being concerned about someone flushing a deadly metal into the sewer is "pussies bitching"

It is safe to say this theory works had to test it out ..wasnt able to disconnect toilet.. Went ahead with test

Mercury isn’t absorbed into the skin in liquid form. Vapors are another story though

@@TheWhitePhoenix2 no organic mercury is

I would just sell my sh*t and get stinky rich :) but yeah, mercury-flushing toilet is also the way to go!

I thought it was more for when he uses gold foil for toilet paper.

USWaterRockets OH I thought he used lead plate for that.

Shame nobody told that to Tywin Lannister....

x3

elemental mercury is not dangerous... but the mercury you find in thermometers etc is not elemental and therefore can be absorbed into the skin readily. peace you noobs :)

www.cdc.gov/niosh/ershdb/emergencyresponsecard_29750021.html According to the CDC, "Elemental mercury is toxic primarily through inhalation of mercury vapors. It is only slowly absorbed through the skin, although it may cause skin and eye irritation. Elemental mercury droplets may be absorbed through eye contact. Ingestion is not an important route of acute exposure as almost no elemental mercury is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract." So yeah, any kind of mercury, elemental or otherwise, is still absolutely dangerous.

Yeah, dude. There is no way I'd fuck with mercury anywhere near my actual skin. Nope, nope, and more nope.

tr00 metal confirmed \m/

I head banged throughout this whole video. Got whiplash.

Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon K

He has bought suspicious amount of mercury.

what language in you speaking?

You don't get it?

It's a play on words, most people on videos where people waste water or food someone leaves a comment that says 'Kids in Africa could have eaten and/or drunk that *insert edible substance here*' and then you have people like me who rephrase it.

Who? Me.

BrianAwesomenes to get it into his blood

Hell's bells! MY toilet supports about 40 lb more than that each time I sit on it!

Ceramic is really good at holding a lot of weight but it is very bad at resisting shock. For example is can hold 300 lbs but if you dropped 300 lbs on it it would break

Oh i still cant belive they are still together after all of that shit

Still i think i would have wore gloves

He should absolutely be wearing gloves at minimum since he clearly does this regularly.

Is it possible that the mercury can penetrate through his skin

Jason Romano yes! Scientists have died from mercury penetrating their freaking gloves-he’s taking a crazy large risk

@@broksjetheydontknow2400 he states in the video that metallic mercury will not absorb through the skin. Look at the 10:57 mark

The streams flushing down into the bowl reminded me of an alien facehugger. The rest of it was pure T-2000.

Funny thing is that, the effects for the T-1000 in the 1991 Terminator 2 movie were often made by blowing pools of mercury around a prepared surface. So you're not really far off with that.

I know. I captured a screenshot of that and saved it to my hard drive. I never knew that about toilets before because it was never a priority of mine, but it is interesting, nevertheless.

I don't believe you because if that were true, you'd be dead.

Same thing happened to me, in small doses (and if you dont drink it every day) it causes no harm.

A lot of people eat mercury present in fish. At small doses its not lethal.
