Throw a wrench at a person you break the person. Throw a wrench at a machine, you break the machine. It stands to reason that the same rule applies to fire.

the problem with breaking fire is it starts clipping over all the local geometry and slows the flamerate to a crawl.

I'm the guy running in with a 3/4 finished plastic water bottle.

I wouldn't be surprised if that bucket had some kind of powder-y substance and the other guy thought "Aha, smother the fire with sand!" except it was really fine powder and pouring it out really quickly created a dust cloud.

There's a reason his Youtube description says, "Hi, it's me! Dubious quality. Questionable integrity. Unethical delivery. Sometimes the best lessons teach what not to do."

I'm pretty sure when his house burned down in 2017 in the Ventura fire, everyone assumed at first the cause was his homemade laser cutter (RIP).

A cow orker has a smaller tungsten cube on his desk, it's about 9 cubic inches so like 17 lbs. You go to pick it up and your lizard brain just doesn't expect anything that small to be that massive. It's the same part of your brain that tells you to put both hands on the wheel when you get up above 85mph when you're driving.

40lbs is not super heavy if you’re in good shape? I mean it’s not implausibly beyond mortal ken if that’s what your getting at.

Nah, it was doc Selvig and he was tossing it hand to hand like it weighed about 3lbs.

I'm a bit of a chemistry nerd so when they mentioned that it was pure iridium and he's basically juggling it, I had to laugh.

An over the top fantasy superhero movie with a Norse god who summons lighting and a guy who hulks out 10 times his normal size - and they aren't even the weirdest ones - but the detail where they toss around a 40 pound block struck you as odd?

Or did you really just badly want to share with us that you know how dense Iridium is?
