An "Also his balls are huge" tag is in order.

Human beings are pretty cool sometimes.

careful now...

They sure like sparkly things.

Pretty damn neat, emphasis on the "pretty." Just a little too short though.

Eye protection is for pansies. I am a pansy.

That shit is hard to wipe off if you get any on you.

Well thank God for the hat.

I'm pretty sure the iron cools almost instantly due to the surface area presented by he droplets, however I'm also sure there's a way to fuck this up disastrously.

Beautiful and dangerous...I'd probably be gutsy enough to try it. And melt my face off in the process.

And a hat...so they got that going for them, which is nice.

HARD. ASSED.

BALLS OF STEEL.

Or iron.

30 seconds in I'm thinking "what, can't they afford fireworks?"

Around a year ago, I made thermite with my dad. We went to the everglades with said thermite, a clay flowerpot, and a bunch of old hard drives.

The original plan was to put the flowerpot on top of the drives, ignite the thermite in the pot, and let the molten iron flow through the water hole--ideally coring out the hardware in an interesting way. What actually wound up happening was that due to some apparent hairline fractures in the pot, when the thermite began to oxidize the pot EXPLODED sending molten iron around 30 feet high, and with both of us in the blast radius.

Nobody was hit, and it was absolutely gorgeous.

We had to wait about 2 or 3 minutes to stamp out the fires, as much of the iron on the ground remained red hot and would burn through our shoes.

Well I can't afford fireworks, but I can melt the hell out of some metal.

Once my dad was drunk and he told me this story. He was in high school and he took some chick out to fuck. They parked in the parking lot of a local foundry, and were really getting into it when the foundry poured some steel.

The entire night sky lit up like sunrise, and at that split second he figured that it must be WW3 because only nukes could light up the sky for miles, he was scared and the incident made him lose his boner.

So thats how I was not not conceived.

The video is a solid five stars. The tales of small town redneck fucking around that it prompted make it a favorite.

Awesome. Probably not all that dangerous either, so long as one doesn't go down your shirt.
