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.
Just imagine Cody walking into a hospital and saying, "Hey, I may or may not have tried to flush 240lbs of mercury down a toilet and I think I need a blood test"
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.
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
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.
I've been shitting rock balls lately....That about breaks my toilet every time.. I went to a VERY nice Thai restaurant in Indianapolis 2 weeks ago and I managed to destroy their toilet ..Clogged immediately...Right as we were leaving which make the humiliation a bit less...OF COURSE there was a guy coming in to the single person bathroom as I was leaving...He walked right into my crime scene..Damn that was EMBARRASSING...
Just the stuff we keep in our sheds... Ah Cody, my man, that was simply an awesome level of creative, scientifically curious insanity. One of the best videos on TH-cam
For 5 years I put off watching this one because I didn’t think it would be as interesting as some of the other videos you’ve made. But you’ve completely stole my interest while watching this video. You seem to have a god given talent to just always be thinking and discussing these “simple questions”with the at home experiments. I started laughing out loud when I saw you pull out the tungsten weight. Keep up the amazing work and I’m sorry I doubted wanting this video.
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
Someone smart enough to get 7.5m monetised views on TH-cam, I suspect. The fact that you had to ask that would indicate he may be a tad more clever than yourself.
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 !
If a mercury thermostat gets broken in a government building, the entire building shuts down and they literally bring-in a Hazmat team to clean it up. And there's Cody, sticking his hand in a few hundred pounds of mercury.
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.

Definitely a good demonstration of the relationship between surface tension versus capillary action. The weight of the bulk of mercury gives greater capillary adhesion to the porcelain bowl while the combined surface tension of the volume of mercury atoms all linking arms saying "hell no, we won't go!" 😄
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
whole reason I watched this was to make sure you weren't putting this into a sewer system or septic tank cool that you went to the extents of building a rig for this experiment.
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.
When I was a little kid, I broke a thermometer in my mouth and swallowed the mercury and never told anyone until now. I probably just pooped it out in the toilet later, so I flushed mercury in 1988.
Ya. Normally the reason the toilet gets clogged, is if I use too much paper. On the rare occasion, however, it is because of me poring 240 kg of mercury in the toilet. That's just one of those things. Oh well
The way Cody is handling the mercury is safe, as metallic mercury is not remarkably toxic. Organomercury compounds and mercury vapour is toxic though, and this is how most people get poisoned by it.
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.
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 flush mercury all the time, what's wrong with that? I use it in the top deck when there is some stubborn stuff in the bowl, it really gets things moving ;)
Not necessarily gold. Other heavy loads may not flush also. Imagine, mercury-flushed toilets will never get clogged, so no more public toilet overflow ever.
Natural and depleted uranium have the identical chemical effect on your body. The health effects of natural and depleted uranium are due to chemical effects and not to radiation. Uranium's main target is the kidneys. Kidney damage has been seen in humans and animals after inhaling or ingesting uranium compounds.
Holy shit I clicked on this video just to ensure you did not flush this into your citys sewage system and I’m so glad this was addressed immediately lmao
He didn't say how strong the nitric acid was that the gold was cleaned off with. Gloves would have been a good idea for that part too. Gotta find out where this guy lives so I can avoid buying land at this future Superfund site....

That was the moment you became chemistry teacher
For me, 2 AM + a lot of cheap vodka.
Literally I clicked on this to make sure that you weren't flushing this down a toilet connected to a main sewage system. Glad you aren't that crazy.
What would/could you have done if he had?
I was concerned about the same thing.
i think it was purposefully titled that in a clickbaity way. Still was an awesome video though so i dont mind in this case.
that is NOT a police matter
Small amounts of mercury in a municipal water system can cause irreversible neurological damage in children who live in the area.
I like how he's just like "ya know when you flush a bullet"
no, thats not something I'm too experienced in

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
I was very relieved when I saw your own setup to do this. Thank you for not being stupid.
Well not too recklessly stupid; how many healthy people have mercury stills?
I flush mercury all the time, what's wrong with that? I use it in the top deck when there is some stubborn stuff in the bowl, it really gets things moving ;)
whole reason i clicked was to see if some dingus actually committed a crime against nature. Glad it was not the case
How the shit was this 5 years ago, remember it like yesterday
Mercury toilet. Necessary if humans shat gold.
shit
@@louistournas120 meh
Or drank gold schloger.
Now I must write a book about the metal humans who poo'd gold.
Not necessarily gold. Other heavy loads may not flush also. Imagine, mercury-flushed toilets will never get clogged, so no more public toilet overflow ever.
Good and practical information for the next time I find myself pooping mercury. Thank you.
Or when you need to get rid of something heavier that water wont break
No one said it had to be realistic to be on TH-cam
(does this experiment but with my actuall toilet)
The alligators in the sewer: *what the fu-*
lol
Try it with mercury poop
What kind of sewer system do you have?

in case anyone thought you tubers will run out of ideas eventually. the levels of effort for pointless endeavors will always triumph
I’m watching this just in case my mom comes into the bathroom when I’m playing with my 240 pounds of mercury
weird flex but ok
Everyone calls that thing differently...
k
Idk why but this made me laugh so much first in 2019
Next episode: Using liquid uranium in a swamp cooler.

FunwithStewart that shits funny.
😂😂😂
Natural and depleted uranium have the identical chemical effect on your body. The health effects of natural and depleted uranium are due to chemical effects and not to radiation. Uranium's main target is the kidneys. Kidney damage has been seen in humans and animals after inhaling or ingesting uranium compounds.
Lmao
okay, i'll remember to never flush 240lbs of mercury down my toilet.
Holy shit I clicked on this video just to ensure you did not flush this into your citys sewage system and I’m so glad this was addressed immediately lmao
*if you’ve ever tried to flush a lead bullet down the toilet*
Just casually
Don't mind me, just flushing my lead bullets down the toilet.
0:33 Nothing weird going on here, just a toilet in the middle of nowhere.
This made me snort kool laid out of my nose THATS A NEW SENSATION LOL
Literally
You don't have a toilet in the middle of nowhere?
me too

Why you got to go but ypur mom screams you should of gone before we went to the middle of nowhere cow belly anyone
TH-cam has been recommending me this video over a week and yep, now I know what flushing mercury in a toilet looks like. Are you happy now?
You guys should check out all of his videos. I can confidently say that he never fails to spike your interest.
old gregg Bump
Kerstin watch his vid. on how to make cyanide
happend to me too
Cody played a game of sinkers and floaters using lead, mercury and gold. Legendary.
“Do I have any cuts on my hand”
Takes two seconds to look 🤔🤔🤔 good idea.....
Not trying to hate but you need to be around to make more videos.
He didn't say how strong the nitric acid was that the gold was cleaned off with. Gloves would have been a good idea for that part too. Gotta find out where this guy lives so I can avoid buying land at this future Superfund site....
@@pault151 Nitric acid lights most gloves on fire. Better off using your hands
This video gets weirder and weirder the more you watch
*A girl almost dies by only 2 drops of Mercury*
Him:
This other guy Likes some fandoms she dropped organic mercury into her hand. He’s using elemental mercury.
Organic mercury can get into your body easier than elemental tho
@@Thatonejapanesegoblin ethylmercury
Him:
play with 240 lbs of Mercury and still be alive
She must of injected 2 drops of mercury in her chest if she died
This is the definition of because I can.
8:41
And that my friends, is called all you can eat Taco Bell.
Im laughting to death xD
Seems right
ya
Oh my gosh that was perfect timing. 😂😂😂😂
the most underrated comment on youtube. I haven't laughed this hard in *years*
Neighbors: Hey cody what ya building there
Cody: An important experiment
Many people just watched a man flush a toilet with a straight face
Nor people. Men.
Who doesn't flush a toilet with a straight face
@@denniskidd3569 i do it while smiling
Now I get it! This is why my toilet wasn't running correctly! Ig I should cut back on my mercury diet then...
Yes because I always flush bullets down the toilet.
Evan Rules you don't shoot your shit to make sure it's dead? What sort of cowboy are you?!
Does throwing the gun down the storm drain count?
Evan Rules bullets have lead. Not Mercury.
I mean who doesn't.
What!?!?
tbh, clicked because i thought someone was dumb enough to actually flush mercury
jimbo111589 this guy is anything but dumb. Lol I learned a ton
hahahaha "a ton" I see what you did there!!! ;)
My oh my you are clever!!
jimbo111589 as long as he knows what he is doing to keep himself save then the experiments are no problems.
Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon
K
He has bought suspicious amount of mercury.
Well at least you know how to deal with it if you end up sh*ting gold now.
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....
