      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

      I had not actually thought about it until I saw this comment, I feel disappointed in myself. Regardless, I would imagine it would probably float ontop of it. Turds don't always float in water, but if they can it means they're (sometimes) lighter than water, which means that under normal circumstances definitely lighter than mercury. Of course that's assuming no chemical interaction. However, I want to imagine the mercury might actually manage to surprise me and pulverize it under its weight somehow.

      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.

      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

      Natural and depleted uranium have the identical chemical effect on your body. The health effects of natural and depleted uranium are due to chemical effects and not to radiation. Uranium's main target is the kidneys. Kidney damage has been seen in humans and animals after inhaling or ingesting uranium compounds.

    When I was a little kid, I broke a thermometer in my mouth and swallowed the mercury and never told anyone until now. I probably just pooped it out in the toilet later, so I flushed mercury in 1988.

      They stopped selling plutonium 2 years ago but you can still get uranium on Amazon. It's way too expensive though, best to get it elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.
