Dont put gallium on pressurized stuff it could explode. Also, water is wet.

[@thebigspicy1359]

I can imagine gallium bullets being used in the future against robots when they take over

[@Mozartenhimer]

Playing with a pressurized tank which has had its structural integrity reduced to almost nothing is a great way to get a Darwin award.

Picking up a compressed gas cylinder that's being slowly eroded by gallium...... Is this a new form of Russian Roulette?

[@runechuckie]

I've always kind of cringed at this dudes safety precautions having experience working in a lab, but he keep making me more confident one day he will earn himself a nice fancy Darwin Award

Im pouring this on my ex's car

That razor scooter deserved what it got for all of our ankles.

Add gallium to aluminum engine while it is running.

[@samuelschurman3762]

I could imagine the nerdy kid in school getting ahold of this and just destroying all of the bullies bikes.

"Gallium won't hurt you"

[@SnailMan63]

That’s actually insane. I expected the place where the gallium soaked in to be weak but not the WHOLE THING

[@gabrielh7517]

This is why I like RUclips. I knew what gallium could do to aluminum but never even considered this as an option for content

[@dangerousjGD]

its like a cancer

[@originalporpoise1009]

This is so cool! I work with a focused ion beam that uses a Gallium source to produce ions, and I must say: between that and this video, Ga is my new fav element

[@donaldneill4419]

Deliberately weakening a 900 PSI pressure tank in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt: "Safety goggles on..." God I laughed.

[@nolan02499]

“This is a new scooter we’re going to test it every hour”

[@BloodyMobile]

For once a liquid that understandably is BANNED on planes...

[@jamesprice7759]

This would actually be cool at like a kids birthday party like imagine destroying a bike with your bare hands all the kids would be amazed

pours gallium on hand and gets his hand melted off
