This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Actually very interesting and satisfying as hell
Almost skipped this and then I read your comment. So, thank you for commenting I guess?
I didn't know china also let you buy fireworks in the "well it's not intended for use as a bomb" strengths too
And much more
China is like THE fireworks country in my mind. Idk if thats even true but yeah, for some reason im not surprised.
Yeah but I associate them with small fireworks. I generally think of only America letting you have incredibly dangerous and stupid stuff, and some of those firecrackers count.
I wish I was having this much fun
Really pleasing noises.
Either he has performed these tests before or has extreme confidence in that pot.
Shrapnel is a thing.
Yeah I was very suprised they didn’t accidentally create a shrapnel bomb.
I guess those who do aren’t able to upload videos afterwards…
Honestly the video made me a little curious what brand of pot he was using, because despite the deformities it looked surprisingly good at the end. Like you could mangle it back into shape, wipe off the gunpowder residue, and start cooking without much issue.
Turns out it was a really elaborate add for a pot
I enjoyed this video.
I was somewhat worried this ends like a similar video I have seen where the person in the end is almost hit by a shrapnel when the pot literally explodes.
At what point are these just bombs? I'd imagine that last one is at least a grenade if not quite a bit more. And concerningly short fuse on that last one.
