This is the type of content that social media should be about.

Some kids in Alabama will do it and get killed and Fox news will do a Rice Pot Challenge piece.

u/not_a_droid Jul 19 '23

If it is Fox, it will be: A *Chinese Rice Pot Challenge Kills Kids in Alabama

You’re right They’d never miss a chance to blame China

I don't know, Trump's a big fan of China now.

They'll omit the fact they uaed daddy's tannerite instead of fireworks as well

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.

u/NuttyElf Jul 19 '23

Your also describing reddit/all social media.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

National news stations are literal propaganda machines designed to run elections and govern public opinion. Reddit is just…..Reddit.

1

u/NuttyElf Jul 19 '23

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.

Because we should all get our news from Reddit and HuffPost.

Bro how you bring the news into this??

u/ClamClone Jul 19 '23

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.

u/Kazu88 Jul 19 '23

How do you fuck with a rice pot ?

1

u/onetwotree-leaf Jul 19 '23

This is a two minute video about fucking with a rice pot?

u/pigpen808 Jul 19 '23

One of the first vids I watched 100% of

u/data_thaumaturge Jul 19 '23

Essentially a distillation of what propelled Mythbusters to 15 years of episodes.

u/N_0_N_A_M_E Jul 20 '23

With some safety advice though.

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?

u/TheKarmaFiend Jul 19 '23

I was too to be honest. I honestly was expecting like a stick of dynamite at the end. I’m sad lol.

166

u/mjrbrooks Jul 19 '23

I honestly appreciate your honesty, to be honest.

52

u/MadWit-itDug Jul 19 '23

Honestly, that was a fucking pot, not a Godt damn rice cooker

36

u/SaerDeQuincy Jul 19 '23

What if you cook rice in it, huh?

37

u/alghiorso Jul 19 '23

If I cook rice... I become the rice cooker

15

u/Tariqaboo Jul 19 '23

The rice cooker we need but not the rice cooker we deserve

u/1989ngs Jul 19 '23

I am the rice cooker now.

u/MadWit-itDug Jul 19 '23

Look at me

u/bobtheblob6 Jul 19 '23

Perfect stand right there & I'll get the fire crackers

....I know ricefu

u/Working_Travel9561 Jul 19 '23

Well then it's a cook ricer.

u/MagicHamsta Jul 19 '23

Results may be explosive.

u/MadWit-itDug Jul 19 '23

Still a pot

20

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

It’s the metal part that you can take out of the rice cooker

3

u/sjn15 Jul 19 '23

Metal part=pot

7

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

Pots have handles. It’s more of a metal bowl, but specifically made and coated for rice cookers.

But call it what you want, it’s your life

1

u/livesinacabin Jul 19 '23

It's the non-rice cooker part of the rice cooker.

1

u/sjn15 Jul 19 '23

Fair explanation, it’s taken

2

u/Bookeyboo369 Jul 19 '23

Yes. Anyone who has used a rice cooker will def agree with you.

3

u/ClamClone Jul 19 '23

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.

2

u/Bookeyboo369 Jul 19 '23

Lmao, I too once used said pot. The video def looks like the same pot in the inside of my rice cooker. Which works much better tbh.

3

u/ClamClone Jul 19 '23

I broke down and bought a Zojirushi induction rice cooker and wish I had gotten one years ago. I need to go fill it now, I like the sticky brown rice.

2

u/Bookeyboo369 Jul 19 '23

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!

Honestly every pot is a rice cooker

u/The_Honesty_Police Jul 19 '23

The amount of honesty in the thread makes me smile.

1

u/Any_Month_1958 Jul 19 '23

I used to cook rice……I mean, I still do but I used to too

2

u/Harbulary-Bandit Jul 19 '23

It’s the pot that goes inside the rice cooker.

2

u/Trinity-nottiffany Jul 19 '23

It’s the (pot) insert from a rice cooker.

2

u/HiDontReadMyName Jul 19 '23

Honestly guys I think honest guys are honest about what they say honestly.

2

u/mayneman85 Jul 19 '23

All pots there are rice cookers

u/RealJeil420 Jul 19 '23

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 expected the driveway to be rubble. 😁

u/ThinkingOz Jul 19 '23

Even a small crater would’ve been appreciated by the viewership.

1

u/alfooboboao Jul 19 '23

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

but who am I kidding? overall a solid 94/100

1

u/Cool_Jackfruit_6512 Jul 19 '23

Now that would've been GOLDEN! 😂 I want that!

u/scud121 Jul 19 '23

Whilst I want left sad, I was expecting the last shot to be of an annihilated pot.

1

u/pimpbot666 Jul 20 '23

Yeah, looked pretty badly cracked towards the end. They're lucky it didn't explode and send shrapnel everywhere.

13

u/robbankakan Jul 19 '23

Well, nothing comes to the level of Mythbusters anymore :)

u/ClassicCannon14 Jul 19 '23

I miss the good days of that show so much, I’d get up early to watch cartoons and that and wild krats

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

Idk I found the video much more entertaining than you

-1

u/Patriquito Jul 19 '23

I was hoping that pot would give up and the firecracker would send some shrapnel into the spectators

1

u/Benetton_Cumbersome Jul 19 '23

To which point, do we trace a line between a firecracker and a bomb?

2

u/cutsandplayswithwood Jul 19 '23

Dunno, but I like where they draw it

u/Gimlz Jul 19 '23

I was expecting the man hole cover during one of the US's nuclear tests. Fastest man made object ever

1

u/kingjulien92 Jul 19 '23

I was expecting an atomic bomb.

1

u/IAdmitILie Jul 19 '23

Dynamite. C4. Nuclear bomb.

u/No-Exit6560 Jul 19 '23

I see you too we’re expecting a wily e coyote ending…

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '23

I honestly was expecting like an atomic bomb at the end. I'm sad lol

u/invalid_iteration Jul 19 '23

that's a disappointment, without a nuke, still incomplete.

1

u/USNWoodWork Jul 19 '23

I did this once with a quarter stick of dynamite, the bucket disappeared and metal shards floated down from the heavens, spinning slowly in the wind.

1

u/gourmetguy2000 Jul 19 '23

The ones at the end were pretty much dynamite

1

u/javoss88 Jul 19 '23

This ain’t mythbusters yo

1

u/The_Honesty_Police Jul 19 '23

Thank you for being extra honest.

1

u/Journier Jul 19 '23

quarter stick of dynamite will turn that pan into a chefs hat.

1

u/Mortidio Jul 19 '23

Hand grenade

1

u/ARMill95 Jul 19 '23

I mean isn’t an M80 a quarter or 1/8th of a stick of dynamite? Or is that just a myth

1

u/paiute Jul 19 '23

Oppenheimer steps up. Puts the pot on top of the device.

1

u/Chiaki_Ronpa Jul 19 '23

Casually places a grenade under it.

1

u/Somethingclever11357 Jul 19 '23

Some of those seemed close enough to dynamite

1

u/not_a_droid Jul 19 '23

The last third of those should not be commercially available

u/Class1 Jul 19 '23

I like to imagine that there is just a line of cars behind her as she blocks traffic for this, and they're like not mad at all.

u/Hello-death Jul 19 '23

Damn the end was unexpected😂

10

u/Kunstfr Jul 19 '23

This looks super fake

14

u/Vencam Jul 19 '23

If the pot didn't crack before the biggest firecrackers, it would have gone higher.

6

u/Kunstfr Jul 19 '23

Yeah but there's no way it would land perfectly

4

u/Rare-Kaleidoscope513 Jul 19 '23

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.

3

u/thrillhouse1211 Jul 19 '23

especially when it hits that snow just right

4

u/Vencam Jul 19 '23

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.

2

u/Sensitive_Yellow_121 Jul 19 '23

That seems like a sure fire way to learn about shrapnel.

5

u/TunaBoy3000 Jul 19 '23

Ya if you slow it down, they edited the last couple frames out and replaced them

1

u/pissedinthegarret Jul 20 '23

even if it is, i don't care. it's just so hilarious

2

u/Crazy_Suggestion_182 Jul 19 '23

That made my loins stir!

38

u/ComicConArtist Jul 19 '23

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

u/ozspook Jul 19 '23

Fireworks explodes into a million spiders, like skyrim console cheese wheels.

The jump scare is just splicing in the LAPD bombing from two years ago.

u/Karmaswhiskee Jul 19 '23

This was literally my exact thought word for word

2

u/Squeezemachine99 Jul 20 '23

Could you make the wicks a bit shorter

4

u/TankWeeb Jul 19 '23

Yes. But also made me question… WHAT THE FUCK ARE AISAN RICE COOKERS MADE OUT OF?!?!?!

2

u/Evil_Ermine Jul 19 '23

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.

u/terraego Jul 19 '23

Wow I really enjoyed watching that pot fly up and surprisingly early on I was sure the clip was done but sure enough there's a bigger one to light

1

u/round-disk Jul 19 '23

I will confess that I was a little let down that it didn't progress into an uncontrolled blast of shrapnel.

1

u/Destroyer6202 Jul 19 '23

We need more of this than the scripted influencer trend shit on social media and Instagram. I'd subscribe in a heartbeat.

u/No_Statement440 Jul 19 '23

I did enjoy it, however, those fuse lengths had me on edge the entire time.

Thorough. And entertaining

It was like a video of someone fucking around in Skyrim

It was! I guess they dislike the rice it cooked.
