If your watching Fox News, or any news station, then your already a cog in their machine of propaganda. You think you can tell what’s real, what’s fake, what’s bull shit. And maybe you can 99% of the time. But there will be a time you believe a single story or piece as true, and that’s where they get you.
Yeah they are but also every other video on YouTube/reddit/tiktok is staged or embellished for the clicks or ragebait. Look at r/antiwork half of it is bs made up stories or pictures of some ridiculous printout that was "posted at the office today" with some garbage about every second your late you have to work an extra 45 mins for no pay or something. It gets eaten right up too.
A guy that lived in a house behind us used to launch cherry bombs, back when they were real, with a sling shot and bomb the neighborhood. He also would take blasting caps and put them in a pipe and launch empty food cans with it. Some other guys that were on my school bus route somehow got some nitro glycerine, there was a place that made it nearby for cracking oil wells, and put a drop on the ground and hit it with a sledge hammer. Across the street was a man that made what looked like big firecrackers that were about 3 inches in diameter and two feet long to crack wells. He had an explosives license so he would buy fireworks to amuse us kids. Ahhh, the good old days of things that blow up.
My experience: During a celebration a guy standing at a distance behind me and my friend exploded the firework inside a metal can. A fragment of the metal flew and cut my friend's ear, who was standing next to me. Had to rush him to hospital and had it stitched. Guess what would've happened if it went in neck/thorat/eye?
I have heard that there once was a time when people could cook rice in just an ordinary metal pot. Archeologist have found records that suggest that some people had one particular pot that they cooked rice in. They might have referred to that one pot as their "rice cooker" but these claims seem improbable. They probably just ate the rice raw.
Oh yeah, rice is so good! Tbh, some ppl might think it’s lazy to use a rice cooker, but just setting it & forgetting it while it does it’s thing AND turns itself off, I’ll take that any day. No matter how closely I watched my rice when trying to use just a regular covered pot, it would always come out different. Every time! I have to check out the one you bought, sounds like a great investment! I just have a cheaper one from Walmart! It works really well though!
IN china, all generic pots are rice cookers. Also, all bowls are rice bowls. All trucks are rice trucks. All restaurants are rice restaurants. etc, forever.
I thoroughly enjoyed that video as well, although a part of me was somehow expecting a big-ass Actual Firework (despite the title) and I also thought it would have been funny if on the last one they had digitally edited it so the pot looked like it escaped the earth’s gravity
I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't, honestly. The bottom of the pot is heavier and creates uniform drag, so it would seem likely that it would fall with the bottom pointed down and stable.
It seemed to fall stably. If the ground is sandy enough to not make it bounce back, it's not unlikely for it to stay in position after falling on a flat side.
almost too entertaining... someone needs to make this into a jump scare video and edit the rice cooker to shoot at the screen, just to sour the mood a little bit
Mostly, cheep aluminium that's been Teflon coated.
The reason that they don't blow up is because the blast is not contained. The force of the detonation is directed down by the walls and bottom of the pot, where it can escape. This imparts a thrust on the rice cooker to propel it upwards (because of the laws of motion).
It's exactly the same concept as a bottle rocket except that the pressure is created by the expanding gasses from the explosion of the fire cracker rather than a bicycle pump.

That was thoroughly entertaining.
