- I see if a little mercury can be flushed down a toilet and then I take the experiment a little farther and flush a toilet with 240 lbs of mercury. Test results here: • Mercury Test Results

*casually has 240lbs of mercury, a gold bar, solid piece of tungsten and a lead bullet.*
Youre obviously new here 😏
I thought the same Jordan
The most impressive thing is casually has a spare toilet
*then casually decides to submerge his hand in said mercury*
thank you, I thought the same thing xD
(yes, first video i'm seeing in this channel)
cody isn't just shaking hands with danger he's giving it the reach around
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuuuuh
Back that Mercussy up for me
no hes fingering it in the ass
Oh, he's going to be shaking all right.
One should always have the goddamn common courtesy to give the toxic heavy metals a reach around.
I think I can safely say that this will never ever be a problem that a single human being will ever have to worry about.
I will change that
@@mborevi7772dont you dare.
safe to say
You clearly weren't at my buddy Eric's party back in 07'
Hey, just visiting from 2074. Our primary food source is actually a mercury/gold alloy manufactured by the UCU (United Citizens United) it serves as both food and currency.
He's got insane confidence around mercury lol
Literally I clicked on this to make sure that you weren't flushing this down a toilet connected to a main sewage system. Glad you aren't that crazy.
What would/could you have done if he had?
I was concerned about the same thing.
i think it was purposefully titled that in a clickbaity way. Still was an awesome video though so i dont mind in this case.
that is NOT a police matter
You're right. I can see our local PD responding to a 10-200.59, "Felony Mercury Dump." First, you'd have to explain it to them.
did i really just watch 13 minutes of a man clogging a toilet with mercury?
Yep.......yep u did
Un fucking believable
Got me too sadly
Yes my friend, yes you did.
yes
Why am I watching Cody clog a toilet with Mercury at 3am. That moment when you ask yourself “what the heck am I doing with my life”.
At least now you know hahahah
1 am here
5 am here bruh
That was the moment you became chemistry teacher
For me, 2 AM + a lot of cheap vodka.
I love the bs Cody comes up with to do “Yea lemme fill up an entire toilet with mercury” “now I will put this gold piece in it” gotta love the energy
Thank you I had 200 lbs of mercury clogging my toilet and I didn't know what to do, but thanks to you, I fixed it!
Did you just use more mercury?
See, you made a mistake by having 200 lbs of mercury, instead of 240.
Me too!
You too? Man I was searching the internet to find a way to get this goddamn merkery out of my terlet!
This is what happens when the Terminator goes to Taco Bell.
haha

LMAO! :D

Not funny
First of all, I’m very drunk…. I’ve no idea why I watched this video but I’m so glad I did. Watching a Mercury toilet flush was beautiful.
yooooooo, same
Just seeing the mercury ripple, splash, and swish around is so mind-boggling yet really dazzling. I legit feel my head spin whenever it does that.
That's the fumes causing the spinning. See a doctor.
@@wyattthealchemist Too late, I’m running their account now.
Just imagine Cody walking into a hospital and saying, "Hey, I may or may not have tried to flush 240lbs of mercury down a toilet and I think I need a blood test"
LMFAO
He didn't try, he succeeded 🎉
Everybody: Mercury is very dangerous
Cody: aight imma dunk my hand right on in there
Didn't even put on plastic gloves what a madlad.
Thank goodness he rinsed off his hands.
@@BAGELMENSK You don't need to wear gloves if you don't have cuts on ur hand
It's elemental. You could drink it, just dont get any in your blood
Dont do that, obviously.
@@TheCompleteMental How old are you? Please tell me your under 18, if not mercury is highly toxic. You fucking moron!
As someone who drinks mercury on a daily basis, thank you for this video!
**randomly appears on my recommended after 7 years:**
I like how he's just like "ya know when you flush a bullet"
no, thats not something I'm too experienced in
Last ditch effort to hide evidence
Lol 😂
hence the term "Shitting bullets'"
ok but yoooo brotha

Just the stuff we keep in our sheds...
Ah Cody, my man, that was simply an awesome level of creative, scientifically curious insanity. One of the best videos on UA-cam
0:42 “I bought a toilet that specially made for flushing 240 lbs of mercury”
Classic Cody. Answering the difficult questions.
This is ripe for an Ignobel Prize.
cody is the next ignobel trillionaire
What was difficult to predict about this experiment?
dovregubben78 Whether it would flush or not. And the result was interesting because it did flush, then it didn't flush, then it did again under different circumstances.
I did not find that difficult to predict, Firstname Lastname. Mercury is 13 times denser than water.

For 5 years I put off watching this one because I didn’t think it would be as interesting as some of the other videos you’ve made. But you’ve completely stole my interest while watching this video. You seem to have a god given talent to just always be thinking and discussing these “simple questions”with the at home experiments. I started laughing out loud when I saw you pull out the tungsten weight. Keep up the amazing work and I’m sorry I doubted wanting this video.
This is the video that led to me finding your channel. Nice to see it pop up now and then
The problem here, gentlemen, is that I don't excrete liquid heavy metals.
You...don't?!

Wait......not everyone excrete mercury?
Not with that attitude

Just remembered the chinese emperors who died for drinking so called elixir of immortality which turns out to be mercury.
Seems about right

Oh that...

Ooooooooooooooof 1 they died 2 that must have been disgusting!
Most glorious flush in cinematography!
Now I get it! This is why my toilet wasn't running correctly! Ig I should cut back on my mercury diet then...
Dude can afford 3 flasks of mercury but not gloves
Philip Nessi so? No one cares
Philip Nessi nvm I did read it right
He made the mercury himself? :S Guessing no one of you guys follow him, safety is also not his main priority.
Hs grandpa actually acquired it years ago - its in another one of his videos - 'where did i get all my mercury' or something like that
lol he literally states at 10:55 the difference between metallic mercury and mercury nitrate. Because of that reason, there is no harm that can be caused (other than with open wounds, obviously) by touching metallic mercury with your bare hands
Never felt more anxious than I did while watching this guy handle Mercury barehanded 😂
"Mom can we get a toilet?"
"We have a toilet at home."
The toilet at home...
Dude keep your brainless jokes to yourself.

This was the first video I stumbled across of Cody's, and I'm so glad I did!
Imagine if it all went to a sewage waste company
They would be like “wtf?”

By changing the destiny of this single toilet, you showed all us that we can always reinvent ourselves. Respect.
This is the one of the most hilarious videos I've seen for a longer while 😅
So I basically need mercury installed in my house to flush those giant shits I've had lately. Noted.

You don't get it?
It's a play on words, most people on videos where people waste water or food someone leaves a comment that says 'Kids in Africa could have eaten and/or drunk that *insert edible substance here*' and then you have people like me who rephrase it.
Who? Me.
*Kids in Africa could have drunk that Mercury :(. FTFY
Definitely a good demonstration of the relationship between surface tension versus capillary action. The weight of the bulk of mercury gives greater capillary adhesion to the porcelain bowl while the combined surface tension of the volume of mercury atoms all linking arms saying "hell no, we won't go!" 😄

I was so relieved to see that you didn't do it down the sewer. Thank you for that.
The Sarcastic Shu
Omg same
Like I came on this video ready to rant if he actually put it down the sewer
But he didn't so that's all good
Scrolled down the comments before the 30 second mark just to find the complaint/relief. Thanks for allaying my fears!
I hate politics bc being concerned about someone flushing a deadly metal into the sewer is "pussies bitching"
It is safe to say this theory works had to test it out ..wasnt able to disconnect toilet.. Went ahead with test
in case anyone thought you tubers will run out of ideas eventually. the levels of effort for pointless endeavors will always triumph
The way Cody is handling the mercury is safe, as metallic mercury is not remarkably toxic. Organomercury compounds and mercury vapour is toxic though, and this is how most people get poisoned by it.
Mercury will start evaporating at room temperature and especially with the amounts hes handling and the constant movement there will be mercury in the air, its outside which helps but safe is still a word i wouldnt use.
“Safe” is definitely an oversimplification, but that is the gist. Cody knows chemistry, knows the risks, and takes precautions to help protect himself.
Like he alluded to when flushing the full tank of mercury, elemental mercury is still really dangerous if it comes into contact with an open wound, a sore, or a mucous membrane like the mouth or nose.
Like another commenter pointed out, mercury will evaporate at room temperature, and *breathing* mercury is definitely way worse than just touching it.
There’s also the possibility of the mercury reacting with something unexpectedly to produce a much more dangerous material - you don’t know all the chemical properties of the toilet bowl material or the plungers, for example. Different compounds could be far more dangerous, and in a setting like this there’s not much control you can implement to monitor or prevent unintended reactions.
Basically, don’t do chemistry at home, don’t do chemistry without a lab partner, don’t do chemistry without a chemistry education. Stay safe, folks.
If i remember correctly cody put some mercury in his mouth in a Video but i think he deleted it
All these idiots commenting about flushing mercury and putting into the environment did you not see the first 2 mins of the video where shows that he made his own plumbing system where nothing would go in the environment ?
Flushing mercury down the toilet can be bad for the environment
Everyone like the comment that is two comments above from mine.
Ashin Kusher thanks captain
This idiot (Matt G) didn't seem to notice that not all of the material was recovered, nor did this idiot (Matt G, still) consider that the lack of warnings about the substance, proper demonstration of safety equipment (e.g. gloves, or a contained lab), the lack of proper explanations (like why the EPA would be 'on his ass' for contamination), and the lack of discouragement from repeating this in a real toilet is reckless and irresponsible. Personally, I don't understand how this is allowed on UA-cam being that it is essentially a simulation of an act of terrorism being that in a 'real setup' that innocent lives would be at stake due to how sewers function and what happens to waste in the process. This person has demonstrated that he clearly does not deserve the right to possess mercury and I hope this video leads to a restriction of his access to it and chemicals like it.
was reading through the comments looking for someone to complain about the environmental hazard before watching it, and was also expecting someone to mention something about the s-bend
Why do you have so much mercury?
I think he has a mercury mine
You can buy it.
Because he uses it to make videos like this xD
he is a mad scientist and his evil plan to kill the world is to coat it with mercury
BrianAwesomenes to get it into his blood
finally a good yt recommendation..amazing video
Cody played a game of sinkers and floaters using lead, mercury and gold. Legendary.
i ask myself, what kind of person wakes up one morning and thinks "oh, it'd be nice if i filled a toilet with mercury and flushed it"
Someone smart enough to get 7.5m monetised views on UA-cam, I suspect. The fact that you had to ask that would indicate he may be a tad more clever than yourself.
Sure. I might THINK that.This guy follows through.
Scientist
Oh it’d be nice if I filled a toilet with mercury and flushed it
A very intelligent and curious scientist, who also loves to educate and entertain the average Joe and/or Josephine's in this world. I found it fascinating that the bullet would float while the gold and the tungsten sank. Gotta love science !
You just flushed the T-1000 down the drain.

If a mercury thermostat gets broken in a government building, the entire building shuts down and they literally bring-in a Hazmat team to clean it up. And there's Cody, sticking his hand in a few hundred pounds of mercury.
thechosendude where did you hear that?
thechosendude They wouldn't even have a mercury thermostat in the first place?
I remember 30 Years ago some kids were playing with mercury from the pumps at an abandoned gas station and yeah they closed the streets for several blocks. This was before people really knew what hazmat meant, lol.
If you get busted for 'flushing dangerous material in Denmark you could go to Jail.

I think the most shocking thing about this video is that in 2016, mercury had a price of nearly 4000 dollars per flask.
He likely bought before the price increase. Also, the $4000 price tag is per flask (76 pounds), not $4000 each pound. But, if purchased in 2016, he likely paid (4000/76) * 240 = ~$12,600
J Ingram yes I thought the same
@@ilovelemonisland2 ah! my mistake! I just looked it up and your totally right! that's still a lot to pay but it makes a lot more sense! thank you!
You do notice that he used a solid bar of tungsten as a weight and threw in a bar of gold to sink through the mercury right? He must be loaded, considering each of those materials is costly.
@@theraven5850 even a toz of gold was "only" 1.4 k at the time this video was published, and elemental tungsten is only about $20 a pound.

elemental mercury is not dangerous... but the mercury you find in thermometers etc is not elemental and therefore can be absorbed into the skin readily. peace you noobs :)
www.cdc.gov/niosh/ershdb/emergencyresponsecard_29750021.html
According to the CDC, "Elemental mercury is toxic primarily through inhalation of mercury vapors. It is only slowly absorbed through the skin, although it may cause skin and eye irritation. Elemental mercury droplets may be absorbed through eye contact. Ingestion is not an important route of acute exposure as almost no elemental mercury is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract." So yeah, any kind of mercury, elemental or otherwise, is still absolutely dangerous.
Yeah, dude. There is no way I'd fuck with mercury anywhere near my actual skin. Nope, nope, and more nope.

❌️ Finish my homework
✅️ watch someone flush mercury down a toilet
Fun video man!
It's incredible that that toilet held that much weight without breaking the tank
Hell's bells! MY toilet supports about 40 lb more than that each time I sit on it!
Ceramic is really good at holding a lot of weight but it is very bad at resisting shock. For example is can hold 300 lbs but if you dropped 300 lbs on it it would break
Oh i still cant belive they are still together after all of that shit
8:43 when I eat something bad
Jerame Forbes xD
What the fuck are you eating for your "waste" to be metallic?
I have watched all your videos multiple times and some really get ya thinking, love it. Its interesting how the mercury rose up as you flushed the toilet almost like it was attracted to the mercury falling out the cistern through the internals of the pan. Reminded me a bit of the tides 🤔 Would love to see more mercury experimentation, possibly with electrostatic high voltage and different cymatic frequencies 🤭
That was way cooler than I expected.
10:41 That looked like a special effect from a movie from the 80's
The streams flushing down into the bowl reminded me of an alien facehugger. The rest of it was pure T-2000.
Funny thing is that, the effects for the T-1000 in the 1991 Terminator 2 movie were often made by blowing pools of mercury around a prepared surface. So you're not really far off with that.
