Today I discovered the TaoflederMaus Youtube channel.

20 pounds of mercury in a blender (with glowstick fluid added for extra effect.)


15 dumb things to shoot out of a shotgun


Dissolving a live bullet in acid
 
Oh dear lord the stupid. The total lack of safeguards for anyone involved is scary. I was waiting for one of those dumb loads to blow up and take the shooter's face with it. :facepalm:

Which? I didn't notice anything particularly dangerous in the video, but then I don't know what kinds of shells they're using, or how much powder they have.

When you have no idea what's going to happen, would you want that shotgun next to your cheek?

Not to mention playing around with nitric acid in bare hands. Generating a boatload of mercury vapor with no hint of protective masks or fume hoods. No warnings of any kind beyond "do not post on Live Leak."

This is "If you try this at home, you WILL die," type shit.

From the few brief glimpses you get close to the persons face, you can see what appears to be a respirator mask of some sort, though you never get a full view in the mercury video. I didn't watch the acid video, so I can't comment what happens there, but lets be honest here. If you have 20 pounds of mercury sitting around at home, or nitric acid, odds are high you either know to be careful with it already, or you're dead.

Well, I'm not dead, but maybe it's because I only have about one pound, and the nitric has never hurt anyone. Always room for improvement, I guess.

Little Girl versus Gaston at a Disney park:


Then Gaston answers a push-up challenge to hilarious results:


Seriously, whoever this actor is that Disney hired is amazing. This might sound weird, but with that great amount of improv and staying in character, he would make a lot of money in the wrestling business.

Changing a light bulb at 1500 feet. /nothankyou

[DOUBLEPOST=1420516732,1420516461][/DOUBLEPOST]I wish I could muster half the joy for anything that these two guys have for catching this fish.

If I was the guy climbing, I'd be less frightened of the climb than I would be of the helicopter hovering nearby with its whirling blades of death.

That's the same guy who made the "Piece of Toast" AMV, isn't it? That guy can do shit to videos with adobe that I can only dream of.

It's important to read your drone's manual before you use it.



This guy didn't. He didn't know how to monitor its battery use, and didn't know he needed to set the "safe landing point" that the drone would automatically return to when its battery got low. So, when the battery got too low to sustain flight, the drone said to itself "Welp, guess I land right here then."

"Right here" was a watery 4 foot deep drainage trench.

But the guy makes an amazing last second save.
 
Could've used fewer fonts, but it's still danged impressive.
Also it will probably serve make @GasBandit grit his teeth.

Also, it makes me want to play with my editing software more.
