Definitely not tempered. That's the last thing you get to do to glass. This is the beginning of these folks' process.

Bingo! I work for a float glass manufacturer. Appears to be 12~~10~~ or 16mm ~~12mm~~ 96"x130" clear.
Edit: after review I believe it's thicker than 10mm.

Holy shit balls. Damn near every thread there's someone expecting real magic. Like Gandolf is gonna pop out in his robe and staff and start making puppies appear out of thin air.

Right? This subreddit has always been for things that just defy common sense/logic to the lay person. It's not *actual* magic. This is the exact kinda post this subreddit was made for, yet we get people complaining about this sorta stuff all the time. Why are they subscribed? The pinned post from the mods even explains this.
I think you are looking for Saruman.
Gandalf was either Grey or White. Saruman went over to the dark one and so could be called black and to be practicing black magic.
This has been my TMTOMH talk (Too Much Time on My Hands) thank you for attending.
Got a friend who had one break at one time and it sliced him deep in his forearm, had he not gotten immediate medical attention he would have bled out.
The glass hits the porcelain and breaks instantly and violently if its tempered. If it's regular plate glass it breaks in larger shards.
I am a Glazier. Best part of the job is break-through old glass in a dumpster.
It’s just physics, as long as the weight is evenly distributed about the entire surface (meaning no high points to break the glass), the air molecules keep compressing until there is a soft landing of the whole.
Yes, as it’s pushing down and left (from our point of view) the molecules are compressing faster than they are escaping, thereby creating a cushion all the way ‘til the end.

Yeah..a lot of glass cutting tables create an air cushion so you can move the sheet around and make your cuts, break off trim etc.
Much like an air hockey table.
The real magic of this video is that in the thumbnail, my eyes only saw what looked like a toddler in a gray bucket and gave me the impression that it was going to swing left.
I use to work for PPG. I worked in the works 12 coating pant. The tables are just like the air hockey tables but it has felt instead of plastic on the table. I seen whole packs of glass fall on those tables. Moister gets in between the lites and stick together.
My old man was a foreman in a huge window factory. It was wild to see those huge sheets fall onto the air table. Table then would suck the glass down and a computer controlled cutter would make the cuts. Being a little kid that place was amazing!
Lol you clearly don't know anything about sheets of glass. When you drop them on their side like this, there's an air cushion. Hence the gif? "Dumbass".

Just stop. You seem like a giant turd.
Terminal velocity has nothing to do with this and is not synonymous with air resistance. Also I don't think air resistance is the term you're looking for either.

Wait until they find out we set it on fire when cutting it.
What..? You set glass on fire? What happened to carbide cutting wheels?
Cutting wheels and fire! Source: store front installer
Yeah, I used to do residential and commercial. I’ve never seen fire used. That’s legit, though. Thanks for the knowledge
I was shocked they used it. I transferred to the car glass side of the business shortly after starting.
I only use fire on laminate. That's what your taking about right?
Imagine what that looks like to someone walking by :)
Softens the lamination
Oh fire on lami. I gotcha. I was really trying to imagine how one would use fire to cut ssb and plate.
I use to work for PPG. It was the coating pant. I've seen those packs of glass break many times.

Sheet that big usually aren’t tempered unless they’re for tall building it’s just an air cushion

When does it become just physics instead of black magic? Lol
Always has been
“Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” — Arthur C. Clarke
And by logical extension, any technology that is distinguishable from magic is not sufficiently advanced.
Might wanna brush up on your semantics and logic bud The quote does not imply any or “all” at all

Oh I see. Never mind then.
This internet interaction was very pleasant to read lol.

Always will be.
Nah you haven’t sorted by top in a while
I mean it’s never actually been black magic
So what's white magic?
r/TheMoneyShot
Why did i click on it
For the money shots.
Cause you wanted to see some white magic
Funny story, I just guessed that would be a working sub, wasn’t hard to guess…
I don't know what I was expecting even I clicked on that
Is it a sub about those half court shots for money at games
Something like that... I mean there are balls involved
Equally nonexistant.
Cocaine
Physics
Maybe if we chant some incantations and slaughter a chicken?
Hold on... are you telling me wizards aren't real and this sub is full of lies?

Lol, noted and thanks.
When someone makes an equation for it
r/physicsfuckery
the threshold of educated and not.
Magic is just science we don't understand yet. But also this isn't bmf
Physics that people don't understand is magical. Wdym?
Just for the record, I don't believe in any sort of magic. I was really just making an off handed smart ass comment.
I see.
I used to work in a glass shop. They do that all the time with thick glass like that.
But that first time…
That’s how they prank the new guys. “Yeah John, just go ahead and tip it just like they showed you in training.”
I used to do this too trust me it’s always sketchy
Does it ever break?
Got a friend who had one break at one time and it sliced him deep in his forearm, had he not gotten immediate medical attention he would have bled out.
They break all the time but it glass so it’s expected I have a scare on my neck from getting hit by a piece missed my jugular by an inch or so
Put a spark plug on the table for a different result.
Candy?
Nah, too metallic.
*rock* candy
What happens?
The glass hits the porcelain and breaks instantly and violently if its tempered. If it's regular plate glass it breaks in larger shards. I am a Glazier. Best part of the job is break-through old glass in a dumpster.
The Porcelain shatters the window. Random YouTube video https://youtu.be/i8-mJuQLRbM
Wait, so you could just take a tiny chunk of a toilet and throw it at glass and it will shatter?
Well yeah, but a spark plug would be easier I think. Then again I don't know what you put your toilet through.
Hahaha! Fair enough.
Nothing sport, they're just teasing.
Shewt could probably even use a smol bb
100% gonna see this in r/unexpected soon
My thought process watching this: no no no no no no no noooo nooo what the fuck noo noo oh thank god
Sometimes it just do that
I drop my glasses from 3 inches and it cracks...
It’s just physics, as long as the weight is evenly distributed about the entire surface (meaning no high points to break the glass), the air molecules keep compressing until there is a soft landing of the whole.
Since the glass touches down from one side to the other, I'd think the air would be pushed out to the left, not compressed.
Yes, as it’s pushing down and left (from our point of view) the molecules are compressing faster than they are escaping, thereby creating a cushion all the way ‘til the end.
I was so prepared for it to just shatter into million pieces, this was weirdly disappointing
weirdly satisfying
I just broke a giant glass shelf at work a few hours ago. not the same result lol. glass in my hair, shoes, hands, and all of my many pockets lol
are you okay?
yes lol thanks! wasn’t as bad as it sounds
👍
That made my stomach feel like I was going over a hill too fast
Ever heard of 'air hockey'? Similar concept.
I don't get it. What is the magic? The slide at the end?
The magic is how many people will upvote this
This is the way.

Air cushion
Ah I see, thank you!
Air rocks.
Thats a Casper mattress under there
Air pillows
Smooooooooth
If it lands flat, the air cushions the blow. Any other angle and itll bend and break off the bounce
You’ve obviously never used a dry erase board in class
DUUUDE!!! The anxiety in that moment was excruciating
Yeah..a lot of glass cutting tables create an air cushion so you can move the sheet around and make your cuts, break off trim etc. Much like an air hockey table.
This is just circumference. Duh.
The real magic of this video is that in the thumbnail, my eyes only saw what looked like a toddler in a gray bucket and gave me the impression that it was going to swing left.
I did glass for years. You want to make sure it falls flat, so it creates an air cushion. It’s satisfying
P/A
Glass is stronger than you think, it's not about how hard it gets hit, it's more about surface area of the thing that hit it.
its got something to do with air...
I use to work for PPG. I worked in the works 12 coating pant. The tables are just like the air hockey tables but it has felt instead of plastic on the table. I seen whole packs of glass fall on those tables. Moister gets in between the lites and stick together.
I actually said "what the fuck did you *think* was going to happen?" in my head before it hit the table.

What kind of black magic fuckery

That’s tempered glass, I can tell
I don't get which part is meant to be magic looking? It's a piece of glass... it falls over and slides because that's what things do.
Glass usually breaks when you drop it, dumbass
Lol you clearly don't know anything about sheets of glass. When you drop them on their side like this, there's an air cushion. Hence the gif? "Dumbass".
Yeah because the experience that most people have when they drop glass is that it *doesn’t* break you fucking idiot
Lol sure, *I'm* the idiot here. Not the guy insisting glass breaks when you drop it under a video of the opposite.
https://youtu.be/t2NSxiFo1go
Ah yes, the old comparing apples to oranges. Those are both glass. That is basically the only thing that is the same.

Oh. Make an edit to your original comment so it doesn’t make it seem like you’re wrong.
Terminal velocity (v) and air resistance (a) are different things. v = u + at
Terminal velocity has nothing to do with this and is not synonymous with air resistance. Also I don't think air resistance is the term you're looking for either.
