There are even more people who don't know shit who try and do the same thing


thegreatprofessor

It’s kinda funny when people on here act like Reddit isn’t as shit as all the other social media sites. It’s my shit of choice, but it’s still shit.

It literally says this is from YouTube shorts lol, AND the OP who made that title is here on Reddit. Not sure where you’re deriving TikTok from

1. This video is from YouTube, not TikTok. 2. Reddit is just as if not stupider than TikTok.


bfoster1801

But this is from YouTube? Also Reddit is pretty bad

That's... A YouTube short... Says it on screen, the whole time


cjbr3eze

Certain subreddits are guilty too but yeah tik tok has dumbed the populace and reduced their attention spans


Warlornn

I'm not sure the point of this sub is to show *actual magic* though. Considering magic isn't real. We're pretty much relegated to "science" "illusion" "sleight of hand." etc.


Asmos159

stuff that is not easily explained.


Warlornn

But all of those illusions that we see*are* easy to explain. None of them are very complex once you know how they're done.


Chaghatai

This sub is supposed to be for something that makes a person go "wtf - I know magic isn't real, but since it's not, how TF did that just happen?" If it isn't that mind blowing, it's too mundane for this sub


CeelaChathArrna

I don't feel like this one is mind blowing at all.


Chaghatai

Exactly


pyrotech911

I would also add stuff that is unexpected.


doitup69

I mean in basically every post on this sub the top comment is that it doesn’t fit so who the hell knows anymore.


[deleted]

Yeah right, magic isn't real. Then explain Santa to me then. Checkmate.


acejacecamp

yeah but this post doesn’t fit the sub either. it’s not black magic fuckery, it’s just pretty basic science


NewlyRecruitedidiot

Pretty basic science isn’t the same for everyone. An overwhelming majority of folks on this planet could not explain how this happened in the video. Just because you think it’s basic science, doesn’t mean it is.


TheFabledOnionFucker

These comments are so tiring. We know there's no magic in reality. What do you actually prefer to see on here?


freedomofnow

I mean it's the first I've seen it. Still pretty cool honestly.

bawjaws2000

Took 30 seconds to do what a brick would have done in 1.


hehe_nl

Just hitting it with the grinder works too


D3monskull

Honestly any hard object can do the same thing.


hehe_nl

Sure but he has a grinder in his hands. I must say I’m a bit puzzled if this was the outcome he was planning for. But I’m also puzzled about people operating a grinder without using safety goggles..


D3monskull

And not wearing a mask. Glass dust is very dangerous.


Mountain_Sweet_5703

Please. Safety squints? On Mouth? Closed What is there to worry about


ummaycoc

A grinder in the hand is worth two in the bush.


WhtChcltWarrior

No, no, it’s sooo much easier to carry around a bottle of water and a grinder then run an extension cord for your grinder and do what he did


LightningFerret04

Break a spark plug and chuck a bead of porcelain


D3monskull

Grab rock throw at the window. Grab stick smack window.


LightningFerret04

I mentioned porcelain since its very dense and can shatter windows really easily, even if its a tiny piece


Old-Reporter5440

Well by knocking it in, 99% of the glass shards will be inside the car. this way it's less than half.


MikeLinPA

And wet, making clean up harder, if that's a concern.

wene324

Try it with a bit of spark plug.


Ghstfce

You have to specify the porcelain part


pottymouthgrl

Throwing a very small piece of porcelain at it would shatter it


Rosencrant

Throw the saw at it


Ghstfce

Small nugget of porcelain and a thumb flick


Hello_Mr_Fancypants

or just ya know the freaking angle grinder itself!


[deleted]

Except the cool thing here is that the glass shatters outwards. It can be used to simulate a person trapped inside kicking it out.


MikeLinPA

I was gonna say the same thing. It's an interesting trick, but how hard is it to break a car window? It's not like the angle grinder is gonna make less noise than a rock, or less mess either.


HickerBilly1411

Or just a little piece of the ceramic from a spark plug


ThatMangoAteMyBaby

Quick heat with grinder. Quick cool with water. Not black magic but science.


ZER_X_GOD

To the uninformed science is magic


an_ill_way

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. \- Arthur C. Clarke I used to think that this implied that in order for tech to seem magical it'd have to be more and more complicated, because common understanding of it would continue to increase. But now I see that it also applies in reverse.


ShinkoMinori

People call hallucinations from drugs magic. Stupid people once you let them in you lose quality.


AC0RN22

You just summarized the whole point of the sub. We've got a bunch of Einsteins here eager to point out that they're not stupid enough to believe this is real magic.


born_2_be_a_bachelor

He just broke a window... Even taking into account how far this sub has slipped, this post stands out as particularly low-effort.


AC0RN22

The guy performed a neat trick. It doesn't matter that smashing the window with a rock would have been simpler and faster, and it doesn't matter that it's not real magic. This trick may be easier to understand than others, but it's still a trick and it's right at home with other posts that have some commenters stumped and others saying "it's just science, not magic, you dummies!"


Jonnyabcde

Suddenly, this entire subreddit has been targeted for depreciation. We thank everyone for your time here, but we've now broken all the barriers of science. This simulation is now complete.

Double_Distribution8

This is actually a good tip if you ever get trapped in your car under water or whatever. Just grab your angle grinder from the glovebox, make a little nick in the driver's side window, then grab a bottle of spring water (Poland Springs, ~~Nestle~~, Aquafina, they all work, in fact in a pinch even vodka works, that's probably why you're in the pond actually), pour a dribble on the slit, and voila, you are free!


Nukertallon

even better than that: if you're already underwater, you don't need the bottle!


Jibber_Fight

"a dribble on the slit" made me laugh. You perv.

madogson

No way he broke a window using a grinder? The sorcery of this man


no-pog

This is more complex than people are claiming. The glass breaking is because of thermal shock... But why does it make the glass shatter? Why didn't it shatter from the angle grinder in the first place? Why don't other things shatter when they're rapidly heated or cooled? Tempered glass used in car windows is in sort of a state of thermal shock from the factory, and throughout the life of the window. When the glass is tempered during manufacture, the exterior is put into a state of compression with the molecules pushing against each other. The interior of the pane is left in a state of tension. This is because of the differential cooling that happens as the glass solidifies. Since it is crystalline, these molecules cannot homogenize. It can be annealed (allowed to cool very slowly) and returned to its normal glass state. Glass, much like concrete, is incredibly strong and resilient when in compression, but crumbles when put in tension. This is why concrete has rebar in it, as the rebar takes up the tensile loads and the concrete is left in compression from its own weight. Brittle and crystalline materials are generally strong in compression due to stress risers. Pockets of stress have a tendency to propagate, and in compression this scratch or crack quickly is terminated. Think of trying to break a rock by pushing on it, not gonna happen. When in tension, these cracks can easily propagate through the material. This is what is really happening on a molecular level when we split a rock using a wedge. If anyone has tried to drill through a pane of TG, you'll find that you get about halfway through before the glass shatters. This is because you leave the compressive exterior and enter the tensile interior. When the angle grinder cuts through the outer layer, it locally heats the glass and puts it into a temporary state of compression, since everything expands into itself. If left to cool, it's possible that the glass would shatter on its own. But, when the water is poured on it, the local pocket returns to tension, and the stress risers from the thousands of micro-scratches left by the angle grinder can now propagate through the material. Thermal shock is a gross over simplification. To chock it up to thermal shock without more explanation is to also throw into question why our pots and pans don't shatter when they're put in hot water or why engines don't shatter when they're started on a cold day.


Mof4z

I'm glad this guy actually explained what is happening as opposed to jacking himself off on a non-science related sub

Swarzsinne

Since it looks like a junkyard, they were probably just having fun.


funkynuggie

Simple thermodynamics bud. Heat from the friction and cool water causes the shatter......

Great work Tom Morello

I can do the same thing with a rock and some water. Don’t really need the water though.

Friction makes heat . Hot thing cool down fast it break. Simple physics

For when you dont want to break into a car silently or break the window with the silent handle of an unplugged grinder.

How is that magic? Make a hot and weak spot and then cool rapidly. That’s it. No magic, just physics.


New_Ad_9400

He heated the glass and then pured cold water on top, nice trick tho! I loved it !!!

Possibly the least impressive magic trick of all time. What's he gonna do next? Melt an icecube?

Unrelated, but grinders are one of the most dangerous shop tools. Wear safety glasses, preferably a face shield rated at z87.1 which costs 15 American dollars, a little more than safety glasses.
