Ok
Would you be interested in doing an episode on poisons specifically the ones that can come from most plants? If you need some pointers you can ask me?
mmm nulled wine, no aftertaste
Air pressure may be pushing the drink up the straw, but you need to suck to *create space for the drink to be pushed into!*
You probably shouldn't suck on straws with the power of your lungs. That's an easy way to inhale liquids. Instead you should use the power of your mouth. I only say this because you seem to be the type who enjoys a bit of pedantic banter.
"Don't worry about the poison, there is no poison."
This is how I start all my tea parties.
Sounds like the namington house is a barrel of poison...I mean fun
I have a T-shirt with my character alignment (Lawful Neutral) which says: "There IS poison in your tea, but I have a prescription for it". I love to wear it while we're having boardgame nights, and to offer people drinks... Everyone takes a second to read the shirt, ponder the implications and decide whether they are willing to accept anything from me.
I'm kindof hoping you wear a dashing hat.
I kinda want to go work fast food just so that I can tell the customers this.
"In terms of poison, we have no poison."
Here's a tip: _While your enemy is distracted looking the cool demonstration of the teapot, you hit him with a bat._
Actually laughed, congrats 😂
I used this trick on a geologist once
Does the particular type of bat matter, or will any species do?
@@cactus_juice3217 So you hit said geologist with a bat, a stone or the teapot?
@@yoitsunoookami simple, I distracted him with an obsidian dagger in one hand and a baseball bat in the other
I want one of these, just so I can ask my guests whether they want coffee or tea and serve both from the same pot. Seems like it would be a good party trick.
it would be anticlimactic if everyone wants the same
If you don't want to accidentally consume some of the poison, make sure the poison is poured in the bottom space of the teapot. I see that the the liquid from the top portion does mix a little at the tip with the bottom portion
Wow thanks, the next time I poison someone I'll be sure to put it in the bottom portion.
Yeah, but in the actual design the liquids are side by side. I wonder how the liquids mix in that scenario.
@@neonch1 In reality you shouldn't die from such a minuscule amount of poison. Don't use a poison strong enough for a few droplets to be lethal.

Hey uh, why is there a swat team at your door?
I want an assassins tea pot literally for the sake of tea AND milk being in together and being all “oh, you want some milk with your tea? Sure” *grabs same tea pot that tea poured from*
…warm milk
Osaki it's going into the hot drink so 🤷🏽♀️
Briljant
I’m picturing pulling a Mary Poppins on my three girls. Lol
It really does sound pretty useful.
*First Day As Assassin:*
*"How did he die?"*
*"He Blocked The Wrong Hole"*
Rookie mistake
i was thinking the exact same thing
Lmao 🤣
😂😂😂
Or he forget block one.
It would be much better if you only had a small secret chamber and one murder hole to cover up. Needing to fill the teapot through the murderholes makes it super awkward to use, it would work much better if you just had a tiny container for the poison and just mixed it in to the bulkier liquid as required, with most of it just being a regular teapot with the detachable lid and everything.
Plus, this way it doubles as an actual teapot you can just use whenever.
Alternatively, have left/right chambers instead of top/bottom that you can fill via removing the lid (that seals properly)
Then just move the location of the holes to accomodate this (so on the top left/right of the handle for instance)
Or would that more accurately be the NON-murder hole, since you cover it to pour the safe drink?
Also, if the poison is clear, you don't need to worry about the colors matching.
Me: “…wait I forgot what hole the poison is”
The person I’m trying to poison: what…? Wait a minute
Pro-tip for assassins: First pour yourself the non-poisoned drink. You don't want any poison residue left on the spout to get mixed in your drink.
I was thinking about the same thing! I’m surprised no one figured that since the spout is the same for both drinks
Come on, a tiny amount of poison can feel quite fun. :) Cheers!
Arsenic the little old ladies poison of choice is fine in low concentration. It is put in chicken feed to make the flesh pink and increase their appitite. So if you eat modern chicken you are eating arsenic.
Immediately thought about this, but then, the educated enemy would always swap the drinks, or will try to take the one that you're wanted for yourself.
@@arsinclair put the antidote in the safe drink. Down the poison without breaking a sweat, then pour yourself a second round, this time with the antidote. Ask the enemy if he likes another go, too.
Optimist: "The glass is half full".
Pessimist: "The glass is half empty."
Steve: "The glass contains 50% water and 50% N U L L D R I N K"
Or is it the opposite?
And then there's an xkcd what if about glass literally being only half full. Well worth taking a look.
I was literally typing this exact joke when I saw that you’d already made it.
You can't technically drink anything, it's actually the null drink that's pushed out of you.
@@EdiblePlutonium Actually, that reminds me of something funny: If you look at the thermodynamic behavior of systems with “negative temperature”, they’re “hotter” than systems with positive temperature, with small absolute negative values being the hottest. The conclusion drawn from this is that thermodynamic beta, which is just the reciprocal of temperature scaled by the Boltzmann constant, is a more physically “fundamental” concept than temperature itself, in some sense.
What this means is that it’s more accurate to say that you let the cold in than letting the heat out. Take that out of your null pipe and smoke it.
This is especially interesting because one of my travel mugs doesn't allow me to actually drink my tea. The liquid gets stuck at the mouth of the lid because there's no tiny air hole on the lid (like my other travel mugs have). Unintentional & undesired magic trick 😆
this is the most intriguing exploration and demonstration of science i have ever seen on youtube besides the backyard scientist. you are an amazing speaker and at explaining things
Me, the worst assassin: "Wait, which hole was for the drink without poison?"
I’m sure someone must have died that way. Poor guy. Talk about irony
Haha

There is a reason why Bozo, the clown, advertised themselves as "a clown for hire".
@@xooox_1777 Not sure if you missed the fact Bozo was a real person(or the mask of one), or if I'm missing the joke within your reply.
@@YukiColburn i think he misunderstood the grammar from that guy, thinking that he was calling the guy a bozo, instead of Bozo as an actual name
@@sxnpyesenpai7424 Yeah, could be that too
If this guy was my teacher back in the day, I would've learned a lot more. This guy is fascinating.
Here's a fun one. I have a pair of reusable water bottles that I used to use for drinking soda. However, when I first started using them for such, the soda keep going up the straws to squirt out the spouts. I found out that the lids had vents with rubber stoppers that acted like a one-way valve meant to allow air while keeping the liquid from spilling out. This was probably added to make the bottles spill-proof but it was causing the gases in my soda to be trapped and force the soda up the straws and out the spouts. I've since remove the rubber stoppers but I've also switched to using the bottles for water like they were meant to. I can image that if I had found a way to seal both the vents and the spouts with soda in them, the bottles would either explode or become pressurized like a normal soda bottle.
You should put some Mentos in it for extra effect
Oh, riiiight. The teapot. The teapot for Kuzco, the teapot chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's teapot. That teapot?

4:40 THANK YOU- I remember in middle school the science teacher talking about cold air pushing the warm air up- then one day the head of the science department was subbing and a student said "hot air doesn't rise- it is pushed up" and the 'sub' goes "sure- but does the hot air not rise." Same thing with people getting hung up on cold objects "transferring cold" in the conduction sense- fine but it is a relative term- but when talking about convection it is back to the same deal with the "rising" air.
This is called 鸳鸯转香壶. Based on Chinese wiki ‘Baidu’ it first appeared in the Han Dynasty. Year 241 BC, after the death of Emperor Hui of Han, his son Liu Gong was made emperor. The late queen Lü Zhi, fearing that new emperor’s mother might vie for power with her, used this kind of pot to hold two types of wine, one of which was poisoned. At a banquet, the emperor’s mother was poisoned to death with this wine. By the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor Zhao Guangyi used this pot filled with wine to entertain another emperor Li Yu. Legend says the fragrance of the wine masked the poisoned wine, leading to Li’s death in Bianjing. Since then, many legends related to this pot have emerged.

Some clay teapots can be glazed on the outside and then unglazed clay on the inside.

In this case, which side is "poison" depends on caffeine sensitivity and lactose tolerance.
I most certainly did write it down. I like cream in my coffee, my mom likes hers black. An assassin's tea pot would allow me to pour both from one pot. I'm going make one now, but with a double wall with a vacuum in the middle chamber to insulate the cream from the coffee so it doesn't get too warm and curdle.

5:10 . with ice cubes, "cold" really is flowing. Ice melts into cold water which mixes with the aqueous drink and creates a new mixture with a lower average temperature. It is different than dropping a sealed bag of ice into a drink which works by heat energy transferring into the bag. The naked ice cube cools the drink much faster.

Worked Perfectly, thanks!
Its the same reason there is a hole at the top of a coffee mug you might buy from Costas, as you drink, air has to flow in to replace the space left from the coffee, or the coffee will not come out.
As you're sucking from the straw, what you're doing is removing air from it. It is then the atmospheric pressure then pressing on the liquid on the outside that causes the liquid to rise. If you tried it on the Moon without atmosphere, likely it would not work. I hope that helps.

It can actually be useful to serve coffee, tea and milk at the same time to people instead of poisoning them
Its boring, killing people is fun.
It would be an awesome party trick
It can just serve two different liquids. The “third” is a mixture of the two.
considering that there are only 2 holes per container, one of them being in the spout, and the other one being small enough to cover with a vinger. i imagine it is hell to actually fill it up (you are bound to lose some liquid due to having to put the teapot upside down?), let alone clean it after there has been hot/warm creamer inside, i agree it would be cool tough. maybe if the design would be changed, and there would be a bigger hole with room for your hands to fit in (for cleaning), that can be closed with a sillicone gasket, it might work. seems like a lot of efford for a partytrick tough. also i dont think gaskets with that size can withstand too much wear and tear..
@@chairya2 😎 Well if you cannot handle a teapot, just use a gun. What could go wrong? 🤩

well im pretty sure you could place the holes on the handle to be way less suspicious although that comes with its own set of problems
😋😉
@Amanda Diaz no
😬
notably if you are using the above and below version not the side by side version, be sure to have the poison in the bottom chamber. The top chamber drips some liquid into the bottom chamber during pouring.
Thanks! I have so many ideas now!
For all of you “what if I cover the wrong hole” folks out there, the bottom hole is not intended to be covered during “normal” use. Always put poison on top and tea on the bottom, reason being the top hole is more ergonomically viable to cover than the bottom. As the poison and tea will mix together in your victim’s cup automatically when you pour them out together, you only need to cover the top hole when serving yourself. I hope it makes sense.
Thanks for the tip bro using it will be easier now 😊😊😊
@@assertingdominance1759 don’t thank me, just hate the guy who threw the instructions away after the box was opened.
Wouldn't do to get it mixed up.
Adding another reason to always use the top for normal. In every clear pot demonstration you can see some of the top liquid flowing back up the spout and into the bottom after the first pour.
However, isn’t that SUPER risky? Should poison be in the top layer, each time you finish pouring, some amount of poison would easily just flow from the tip back to the normal drink in the layer below. So i think its safer to put the poison in the bottom layer
It's physically hurt me to see that teapot broken with a hammer even though I know it's for a reason

so basically when you’re a kid and you’re drinking through a straw and you put your thumb over the hole to stop it from falling out so you can, for no reason at all, pull the straw out and let it leak out from the bottom into your mouth.

Imagine whacking this bad boy out at an afternoon tea party and pouring one friend black coffee, and when your next friend asks for milk in their coffee, using the same jug as the black coffee, you pour milky coffee! That's like the greatest (tea) party trick ever hahaha
I like how jazzed you are about the idea more than I like the idea.
I love your personality
@@PaniniDev if this isn't sarcasm (I can never tell in text form haha), then thank you so much haha, that's a really kind thing to say :)
Absolutely the most wholesome response to an assassin’s tea pot. Design: deception and death
Application: wooing tea party guests
You seem like such a fun person lmao, your tea parties must be a blast
1:10 "click" got me😂
It seems some of the top liquid infiltrated the bottom chamber, so perhaps it would be wise for a successful assassin to have the poison down below. Great video!
"If you plan to poison your enemy, I recommend using liquids of the same color " the suggestion though 😂
He is just demonstrating that two different liquids can be kept inside the teapot
@@michaeljames4875 we know right
No assassin would have come up with that idea!
"Hey, how come your tea is a light brown and mine is a bright glowing green?"
Also make sure that when the liquids are combined, no pesky precipitates form, always check chemical reactivity beforehand. Learned that one the hard way :)
Me: "Thanks for inviting me over for tea!"
Host: "No problem."
Me: * Sips tea *
Me: "That is a really cool teapot by the way."
Host: "Thanks, it is an assassin's teapot."
Me: * spits out drink *
Hold on, If you sipped the tea, then talked that means u swallowed the drink.. BUT YOU SPAT OUT THE DRIN- I think im look too much into this
@@JATorigin he spitted the leftovers from it
"Why doesn't anyone come over for tea anymore?"
🤣🤣🤣 you're already dead
@@PixedexIf there was leftovers then he wouldn't be able to talk
Thanks for the tips
I need this for research

next up from Assassin's version of Q, the assassin's toilet, wont' be pretty but it will get the job done
Where can i get one
@@rakeshb7378 I mean any assassin's guild should have them in the shop
Okay, but how do you:
1) pour the liquid in
2) not drive attention to the fact that it's a strange lid-less pot
3) clean it for the next customer?
Asking the real questions here
u pour the liquid thru the holes dunno abt everything else tho. maybe a false lid?
The 2D version has a compartments above and below each other, but if you remember when he smashed the teapot, they were actually side by side. So, you'd just pour them in the top, one drink in one side and other other in the other side.
1) Just pour it in. The 2D compartmen is to simplify "how" it looks like, not "what" it looks like; the real deal has 2 chambers side by side.
2) Again, it has a lid. You're thinking about the 2D compartment, not the real deal.
3) Why would you even need to clean it for the next customer unless they want another drink? And even then why not just buy more teapots?
@@pandakilla4757 spot the person too lazy to watch the vid. 🙄
4:05 no matter what age you are, you always stop and think for a second before spewing out risky words like that 😂😂
I LOVE the video idea, but i really would recommend you to make the explanation more short and simple like what markrober does.
It will make it so that the vid is interesting to more people and more understandable.
And maybe using animations for some of the things would also help make it more understandable. I know that requires people to animate, but if u do find people or do it yourself that 100% the vids will do better.

Man, imagine messing up the sequence of holes to cover up and not knowing which drink is safe or deadly.
So I imagined. And what now, Zachary?
@@elfillari You're dead!
@Sarah Bowmer If you've developed an immunity to iocane powder, I believe the correct move is to just pull a Princess Bride and poison both cups with a normal teapot.
Take an antidote just in case
Goteeeem HA!
This is very much needed for my work. I serve drinks at clubs.
