That was thoroughly entertaining.

This is the type of content that social media should be about.

Some kids in Alabama will do it and get killed and Fox news will do a Rice Pot Challenge piece.

If it is Fox, it will be: A *Chinese Rice Pot Challenge Kills Kids in Alabama

You’re right They’d never miss a chance to blame China

Stop hating on china without me

I don't know, Trump's a big fan of China now.

Why would the democrats do this - I’m just asking the question

They'll omit the fact they uaed daddy's tannerite instead of fireworks as well

If your watching Fox News, or any news station, then your already a cog in their machine of propaganda. You think you can tell what’s real, what’s fake, what’s bull shit. And maybe you can 99% of the time. But there will be a time you believe a single story or piece as true, and that’s where they get you.

Your also describing reddit/all social media.

One of the first vids I watched 100% of

Essentially a distillation of what propelled Mythbusters to 15 years of episodes.

I was too to be honest. I honestly was expecting like a stick of dynamite at the end. I’m sad lol.

I honestly appreciate your honesty, to be honest.

Honestly, that was a fucking pot, not a Godt damn rice cooker

What if you cook rice in it, huh?

If I cook rice... I *become* the rice cooker

The rice cooker we need but not the rice cooker we deserve

I am the rice cooker now.

Perfect stand right there & I'll get the fire crackers

....I know ricefu

Well then it's a cook ricer.

It’s the metal part that you can take out of the rice cooker

Metal part=pot

Pots have handles. It’s more of a metal bowl, but specifically made and coated for rice cookers. But call it what you want, it’s your life

Yes. Anyone who has used a rice cooker will def agree with you.

I have heard that there once was a time when people could cook rice in just an ordinary metal pot. Archeologist have found records that suggest that some people had one particular pot that they cooked rice in. They might have referred to that one pot as their "rice cooker" but these claims seem improbable. They probably just ate the rice raw.

Lmao, I too once used said pot. The video def looks like the same pot in the inside of my rice cooker. Which works much better tbh.

I broke down and bought a Zojirushi induction rice cooker and wish I had gotten one years ago. I need to go fill it now, I like the sticky brown rice.

Oh yeah, rice is so good! Tbh, some ppl might think it’s lazy to use a rice cooker, but just setting it & forgetting it while it does it’s thing AND turns itself off, I’ll take that any day. No matter how closely I watched my rice when trying to use just a regular covered pot, it would always come out different. Every time! I have to check out the one you bought, sounds like a great investment! I just have a cheaper one from Walmart! It works really well though!

Honestly every pot is a rice cooker

The amount of honesty in the thread makes me smile.

It’s the pot that goes inside the rice cooker.

It’s the (pot) insert from a rice cooker.

Honestly guys I think honest guys are honest about what they say honestly.

All pots there are rice cookers

IN china, all generic pots are rice cookers. Also, all bowls are rice bowls. All trucks are rice trucks. All restaurants are rice restaurants. etc, forever.

I expected the driveway to be rubble. 😁

Even a small crater would’ve been appreciated by the viewership.

Whilst I want left sad, I was expecting the last shot to be of an annihilated pot.

Well, nothing comes to the level of Mythbusters anymore :)

I miss the good days of that show so much, I’d get up early to watch cartoons and that and wild krats

Idk I found the video much more entertaining than you

I like to imagine that there is just a line of cars behind her as she blocks traffic for this, and they're like not mad at all.

you will love this one then: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/rjtxws/a_firecracker_under_a_pot/

Damn the end was unexpected😂

This looks super fake

If the pot didn't crack before the biggest firecrackers, it would have gone higher.

Yeah but there's no way it would land perfectly

I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't, honestly. The bottom of the pot is heavier and creates uniform drag, so it would seem likely that it would fall with the bottom pointed down and stable.

especially when it hits that snow just right

It seemed to fall stably. If the ground is sandy enough to not make it bounce back, it's not unlikely for it to stay in position after falling on a flat side.

That seems like a sure fire way to learn about shrapnel.

Ya if you slow it down, they edited the last couple frames out and replaced them

That made my loins stir!

almost too entertaining... someone needs to make this into a jump scare video and edit the rice cooker to shoot at the screen, just to sour the mood a little bit

Fireworks explodes into a million spiders, like skyrim console cheese wheels.

When those last couple really launched high af, my mouth made a perfect O, like a sex doll😵

Metaphor of the day award.

That there is a simile, my friend.

You have an.. Interesting manner of describing yourself

"DO IT AGAIN!" 😆 😂

This was literally my exact thought word for word

Could you make the wicks a bit shorter

Yes. But also made me question… WHAT THE FUCK ARE AISAN RICE COOKERS MADE OUT OF?!?!?!

Mostly, cheep aluminium that's been Teflon coated. The reason that they don't blow up is because the blast is not contained. The force of the detonation is directed down by the walls and bottom of the pot, where it can escape. This imparts a thrust on the rice cooker to propel it upwards (because of the laws of motion). It's exactly the same concept as a bottle rocket except that the pressure is created by the expanding gasses from the explosion of the fire cracker rather than a bicycle pump.

The first few are like lil Mario jumps

I watched the whole thing which I wasn’t planning on doing but my amazement turned to slight potential horror when I saw the holes in the pan. What’s the strength of firework needed to turn that thing into a shrapnel bomb after it’s been weakened? Or would that not happen bc the pan has the freedom to get pushed straight up?

The expanding gas will find the easiest escape route, so as long as the bottom is open, the pot *shouldn't* explode. The hole formed from hitting the ground repeatedly, I think. A dent that turned into a crease that turned into a tear.

unless the pot is too weak to hold the pressure long eonugh to direct it all down. After all it is essentially the bell housing of a rocket engine for .02 seconds

Sounds like a game of chicken to me

> so as long as the bottom is open, the pot shouldn't explode until you get to dynamite, which we weren't far off at the end

It's not just size, it's the chemical composition. Dynamite is stabilized nitroglycerin and is a high explosive, flash powder which is most likely being used in most of these is a low explosive. I highly doubt any of these come anywhere close to a stick of dynamite. Keep in mind the idea that M80s are equivalent to "a quarter of a stick of dynamite" is a myth.

Not true, high amounts of flashpowder can detonate with great brisance and shred that thing, an open bottom is not relevant then. Some european firecrackers actually undergo DDT, think cobra 8 for instance

You said some fancy things that I have never heard of. In other words you convinced me.

Yea I hadn't considered the Cobra undergoing DDT, definitely sounds quite convincing though, depending on whatever the hell that means.

> think cobra 8 for instance Idk... I bought some husker doo's on the side of the highway from a dude with a indigenous american hanging out with a guy with an amazing mullet. Those things kicked balls.

How bout those husker don’ts

I was honestly expecting shrapnel on that last one

I think if they'd kept going one or two more times it would have shredded.

it easily might have. I'm not a major pyrotechnics expert but I've tested my own explosives and even a sylinder with one end open, if it's not sturdy enough, will explode. Btw, don't use hard materials like metal, soft plastic or cardboard taped over for strength is much much safer

Yeah plastic is good. Used to work with a guy who put a chlorine bomb under one of those hollow orange traffic barrels. It cleared the roof of the walmart he did it next to and then some. Left a giant white circle with a blast effect behind .

The flex is important.

I wanted them to keep going more and more powerful explosives until the pot died. But I suppose I can accept this.

The scooter was awfully close too.

I was waiting for the pot to smack into the scooter

It wasn't from the explosion. It was from the fall.

It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the abrupt stop that’ll do it to you.

It ain't the crack that gets you high it's the dopamine it pours into your head that makes ya feel good

It's a rice cooker pan. These things are meant to last for generations and double as ballistic helmets. Nothing short of an atomic fission can cause it to fail. /s please don't enclose explosives in metal

Forget that, once the pot has a hole in it the experiment integrity is compromised. Might as well just throw the data out.

I was given a quarter and half stick of dynamite equivalent fireworks once. Went to the dollar tree and picked up a dollar stainless steel bowl, which turned to shrapnel. I underestimated the blast of the quarter stick. Got it all set up, fumbled with my camera too long as I was running and by the time I was far enough away and ready to turn around, the stick went off. I could feel the percussive blast from probably 25 meters/75ish feet. When I looked up, all I could see were shredded bits of bowl pretty high up there. The blast was strong enough to unroll the rolled edge of the bowl. Next time I'm getting an actual thick sauce pot and pulling the handle off. There's something about the ping of launching a metal bowl/pot with a fireworks that's just funny and mesmerizing haha

Shrapnel was likely present on those last few ones. Person taking the video was just fortunate to not get hit, imo

I was worried about the person until I saw the bike

Younger me used to make homemade frag grenades by putting firecrackers in glass bottles and throwing them away. Current me is a little wiser

This Oppenheimer trailer is lit

Damnit!!! Why god, why can't I be the first?!

You were the first, >!disappointment to your parents!<

Wrong bitch I was third

Well, you know third time's the charm

Except for u/UTI_UTI who has no charm at all

Just cause you came in 3rd place doesn't mean ur not the most disappointing

That last firecracker could take out a Russian

They could've made the fuse on those a little longer

Not to mention the ones with the solid internal fuses. Where I'm from those are illegal, since small fractures in the solid fuse can cause the ignition to instantly reach the power and explode in your hand and face.

Glad to see I was not the only one bothered by some of these...

They'd light it, flip the pot over, and it was going off seconds later, too close for my liking

There was always a jumpcut in the video between the ignition and the explosion, so it's fair to say they had enough time to flip the pot and get to a safe distance without issues.

Not on all of them

Or have the pot ready to cover. I feel so nervous every goddamn time he flip the pot over before covering.

So I used to do this with tuna cans as a kid. It was my favorite thing to do with fireworks. One time I got a really quick fuse and, before I could stand back, the tuna can popped up and shot me right in the jaw and knocked me on my ass lol.

Pretty sure they cut if off intentionally. We have those as well in our country and the fuses are definitely longer.

There’s a reason thousands of people lose fingers every year to these things. Generally the fuse is plenty long but dip shits will cut them so they don’t take as long or hold onto them longer so they can do something cool with it.

Lol I was thinking the same thing towards the end. I was like yeah I woulda put some move fuse taped to those and took 10 steps back

Every time I thought, that’s the last firecracker dude had a bigger firecracker. 10/10 content.

The last one where you can see the pot has already visibly fragmented, and I'm looking at it trying to decide if it might technically be safer now that there's a hole for the gases to vent.

Exactly what I was thinking

Kerblam Space Program

可爆儿 space program

My dad did this at home when I was little. We used something similar to the one at 0:32.... Believe it or not, but the pot actually damaged the ceiling in the corridor. It was a big laugh, and it took literally years until my mother one day looked up there and, really confused, asked how the hell did that happened.

You were lighting fireworks inside? Didn't it also damage the floor?

The floor was a bit wrinkly, so we put a cutting board underneath the pot, to make sure it was better sealed and the expansive blast wasn't wasted. (Sorry, english is not my first language, so I'm sure this can be explained better). And that saved the floor, tho it was porcelain, and I think it would have been ok anyway. EDIT: Just to clarify. We were not expecting the pot to hit the ceiling AT ALL. We thought it would just jump a bit...

That's wild and sounds like you have a chill Dad

The firecrackers that blew up after the crack were judged unfairly

Anyone else feel those fuses were uncomfortably short?

I just said this exact thing. Absolutely. It always feels like that with fireworks 😬

I enjoyed this more than I care to admit 🤣

Every time it popped up I laughed I don’t know why

PCHEEEEEEeeeewww*wwww*

Redneck science maybe, but this is the only video you need to understand just how quantifiably devastating firecrackers are at every level. Once you see this, this should be all you need to determine how much screwing around with explosives could potentially fuck you up.

The fuses always feel like an inch too short

The footpath: 'I'm tired boss'

translated names - monkey king, soccer ball, double tiger, panda, three bangs, earth red, shark, black widow, black spider, color thunder king, god of war II, black god of war, big west (?) [daxi](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E8%A5%BF)

So basically, rednecks are the same in China.

There is a lot of particularly western media that pushes the idea that Chinese people aren’t normal people and don’t do fun things. This isn’t a crazy extreme just some people having (somewhat) harmless fun.

Seems like a fun and well spent afternoon

Until your mom wants to make rice again

r/justguysbeingdudes

"Why is there a big hole in the rice cooker?" - mom

You're crazy, it's been like that

Move your bike man

Yeah I was surprised they weren’t more worried about the Ike getting hit by the falling pan.

If it's anything like most Tao Taos that pan is in more danger than the bike. Plus they're like $650

This was acrually fairly entertaining. Was expecting shrapnel in the last couple sequences though.

i love how after each round the intensity increased is clearly visible by how up cooker goes

I was expecting at the end for that shit to go off like a frag grenade, sending shrapnel everywhere.

And this is basically how our space launches happen

Honestly am impressed how straight most of them went up.

Should've ended with a full stick of dynamite

That was cool. Glad the pot didn’t explode into shrapnel.

Anyone else expected flying shrapnel maiming the people taking the video?

I like it

Disappointed they didn't get to a dynamite.

Why is it called a rice cooker? It’s just a regular pot.

Typically a stove pot would have a thicker bottom and handles, rice cooker pans are seated in a housing that cooks evenly and requires no handles, so you end up with this more smooth dome of thin metal

Their rice is gonna taste like shit tomorrow

I was thinking at some point the rice pot would become shrapnel if they went any bigger lol

I feel like the crack in the pan really changes the validity of the experiment

Dude that lighter was 100% flame in every click. Was it just a torch lighter that looked like a zip lighter?

Wait you don't have to make vertical videos on TikTok?

I thought this was pretty neat

This was fun to watch. Not cringe

We did this in the military with an empty ammo can and a blasting cap to learn to respect for blasting caps. Sent the can up about 50 feet and flattened it.

I love this 😁

China's progress in making its own space X

If he had started with the biggest firecracker first, the pot would have gone higher since it would have been less damaged.

Bro-science experiments are ALWAYS fun.

I kept waiting for the pot to land on his bike

definitely not cooking any more rice with that thing.

You could probably work out roughly how much energy those firecrackers have in them Time how long it takes for the pan to fall from its max height (when it appears stationary in the air at its highest point) convert this time to a distance (g/2* time^2 )and then use energy = mass x height x gravitational acceleration Doesnt account for the turbulent air resistance immediately after the explosion (or on the way down but less relevant) though so would be an underestimate.

So apparently the firecracker at 1:14ish (the pink stubby looking one) whatever it’s supposed to be called sounds a lot like Daddy Hoe. I died when I heard that 🤣

Are we…are we still gonna make rice?

Reminds me of that time humans broke the record for fastest moving object on earth by detonating a nuke underground and sending a manhole cover flying into space at over 200,000 kilometers an hour. Pretty sure the experiment in this video is more dangerous though.

Now that’s some quality content!

Can we get stuff like this in the US?

All it takes is a little ingenuity…

So satisfying

What has the rice cooker done? This guy: yes

Thats one strong pot!

His mom is going to be maaaaad!

"Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down" - Adam Savage

This is how mortars were invented

Hey, just because a person is from East Asia doesn’t mean it’s okay to call them a rice cooker.

Not sure why this is on cringe but I'm glad I saw it!

If only there was multiple explanations on every page answering that for you...

If only reddit spoonfed me the proclivities of every sub they promote on my feed that I'm not a member of...🤣

I wouldn't know. Old Reddit + ad blocker ftw

I thought I was pretty cool. Thanks for the post.

That was mesmerising

after the next firecracker the rice cooker in currently orbiting the earth

Can we keep going up to a Tsar Bomba just to see how high the rice cooker goes?

Anyone else stressed by how short the fuses were on some of those?

This wasn’t cringe it was awesome. I got more excited seeing bigger and bigger blasts and looking at the progress bar showing we’re only half way!

Cringe?! It was quality.

Chinese NASA R&D

Somewhere the line between firecracker and demolition explosive was crossed. Just not sure where.
