You're Next, Magneto!: Compromising A Coke Can's Structural Integrity With Drop Of Gallium
This is a video of the Nurd Rage guy (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!), who hands down has one of the best voices of our generation, weakening the structural integrity of a Coke can by adding a drop of gallium to the lid, and then scratching the surface to allow the gallium to diffuse into the aluminum and alloy with it.

OMG I soooooooo hope he eats asphalt. Nobody bangs on my wall for playing video games at 9PM!
Hit the jump for the very informative video.

The $60 Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller chills a beer down to 43 °F in sixty seconds. So, at the moderate drinking rate of one beer per 45 seconds, you only have 15 seconds of down time until the next beer is ready. Not too shabby. You just fill the P.O.S. with ice and... / Continue →
