Alcohol really does contribute a lot to the internet.

[–]Pseudophobic 161 points162 points ago

Alcohol + a camera, will generally result in some "brilliant" idea.

[–]anthdx 72 points73 points ago

Why yes, this beer is old.

[–]captainflowers 35 points36 points ago

"An old beer is better than no beer". Thats what my grandmother always said.

[–]BoringUsername1 31 points32 points ago

My grandma had a similar saying as well...

"Getting boned by a dick with erectile dysfunction is better than not getting boned at all."

[–]AutumnEmber 29 points30 points ago

My grandma is boring. All she talks about is making everyone in the family fat.

[–]InsaneRunonSentences 56 points57 points ago

My grandmother had the strange habit of hiding pickles all over the house of anyone she visited which sounds like it would be funny unless it was your house but it doesn't matter because we kept that bitch chained to the wall in the basement because she was fucking crazy.

Fuck the idea. I broke my arm last year just taking a shower (slipping, falling, you get the picture). Now I'm really scared of the bath tube!

Oh... nice... this reminds me I have to get operated again this year to get all the metal out :(

[–]friendzonebbbreaker 11 points12 points ago

I want a bath tube, I just have a tub... Is it like a waterslide?

[–]poobly 1 point2 points ago

It sounds remarkably efficient.

[–]richertai 1 point2 points ago

Get washed and travel in comfort. Genius.

[–]friendzonebbbreaker 1 point2 points ago

Could be like a Jetson's shower with robot arms that scrub you and then you could integrate it with some Dyson products. Maybe if we could get a scaled down version of a drive through car wash for people.

[–]spegeddy 30 points31 points ago

Just like a video starting with people wearing top hats and helmets.

[–]Eriden 19 points20 points ago

And mostly naked in the tub together with explosives.

[–]Iceutudid 9 points10 points ago

[–]cuscino 19 points20 points ago

Oh russians...is the tub fill with vodka?

[–]ciavs 21 points22 points ago

I'd say you speak as if YOU are :)

[–]MurlocHolmes 8 points9 points ago

That would of turned out a lot worse in a tub full of vodka. Explosions and liquid fire.

[–]cuscino 10 points11 points ago

In Russia explosion and liquid fire is better!

[–]rottieruca 25 points26 points ago*

Let's strip to our knickers, put these helmets on, and see who can push the firework at the other before it goes off in the bathtub. A gentleman's duel.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

A gentlemans Russian's duel.

[–]201109212215 183 points184 points ago

ELI5 of why this is dumb: Water is almost uncompressible, and will transmit the full force of the shockwave to the tub.

Very likely, the tub is made of some kind of ceramic. Ceramics are very resistant, but not resilient at all, just like glass. They can sustain high forces (resistant part), but won't absorb any energy (not resilient part) past their maximal resistance. The ceramic will be broken to pieces.

Here is a fail in full blown beauty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgGA1fl-bqM

[–]countrytime 94 points95 points ago

Something tells me this wasn't the primary concern of the individuals in this video...

[–]243F6A 13 points14 points ago

At least he didn't get water in his eyes.

[–]lnenad 58 points59 points ago

Why is it likely for a tub to be made out of ceramics ? Actually i don't think i've ever seen a ceramics made tub.

Architect here so relevant.

[–]CardboardHeatshield 54 points55 points ago

Ceramic coated cast iron.

[–]BoxThinker 30 points31 points ago

Much different.

[–]lost_cosmonaut 26 points27 points ago

yeah, you're not gonna break a cast iron tub with a firecracker

[–]eyecite 129 points130 points ago

Well, not with that attitude.

[–]P33KAJ3W 4 points5 points ago

[–]201109212215 3 points4 points ago

You'd still damage the ceramic coating IMHO

[–]lunchbox_assassin 1 point2 points ago

You are forgetting that the hatted idiots are absorbing some of the 'splosions energy thus protecting tub

[–]lnenad 18 points19 points ago

Actually that's not always the case, some are treated with other coatings. Also the most used tub today is the acrylic tub, and that's probably the one in the gif, so that's why the original comment is dumb.

[–]Cendeu 5 points6 points ago

Is Acrylic that plastic-bending type stuff? If so, that's what we have. I've never seen a Ceramic tub before.

[–]lnenad 5 points6 points ago

Yes, it is.

[–]thunnus 19 points20 points ago

This is true. I remember I was on the can, enjoying a moment of peace reading the latest issue of "Saltwater Sportsman", I discovered what was meant to be the last message I'd receive written on the toilet paper: "boom, you're dead". My buddy showed up because I was late for work. He looked under the bowl. I asked him to tell me I wasn't fucked. He said I was fucked. C4 rigged to go off when I got up. I said "I'm going to die on the toilet". He said I wasn't. We locked hands and he pulled me into the cast iron tub on 3, or was it after 3? I can't remember. Anyway, the tub saved our lives.

Also, I remember being too old for that shit at the time.

[–]ProbablyLying 6 points7 points ago

Just like in that movie

[–]2FnFast 1 point2 points ago

RIIIIIIIGGGGGSSSS

[–]Magnesus 11 points12 points ago

[–]Bedeone 4 points5 points ago

Fibreglass seems popular too nowadays.

[–]lnenad 1 point2 points ago

Yes, they are.

[–]201109212215 1 point2 points ago

I'm sure you've seen a ceramics made tub. Most of tubs/sinks/toilets are made of it, at least here in Europe. Maybe the material wasn't called ceramic, but the industrial process and the raw materials are the same.

On a design perspective, ceramic is a good choice for tubs/sinks/toilets because of its hardness. You don't want to have a scratch on a tub: the scratch will quickly retain organic matter (read: poop) and go dark, will be a bitch to clean, and will be a heaven for bacterias.

To test if a tub is made of ceramic, just take the sharpest knife you own, and try to make a scratch to the tub. But be careful: you might unsharpen your knife.

[–]lnenad 12 points13 points ago

Yup, i'm from Europe also, never seen one, most tubes are made from acrylic. They're cheap, durable, they are not very fragile and they are very light so they're easier to install.

[–]201109212215 3 points4 points ago

Yes, ease of install is a great plus at some point.

[–]RugerRedhawk 4 points5 points ago

I think fiberglass and steel are most common in the states.

[–]Silenced_is_Foo 1 point2 points ago

Tubs that look ceramic are usually steel coated in enamel.

[–]Bumbletree 20 points21 points ago

Thanks to your link I just spent a good 20 min looking at people accidentally blow up their toilets

Such as here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here or here

[–]OGMrWhite23 3 points4 points ago

WHAT THE FUCK #3!

[–]richertai 1 point2 points ago

You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir.

[–]Cendeu 8 points9 points ago

Why did he open the lid back up...

[–]steinarvb 3 points4 points ago

why did he try to flush if he knew it was clogged?

[–]Cendeu 2 points3 points ago

Maybe so more water would enter the bowl so there'd be less of an impact. We know that doesn't make sense, but in-the-moment, he might think that.

I'm not sure, but it makes more sense than opening the lid, imo.

[–]CardboardHeatshield 11 points12 points ago

A lot of the time tubs are made of plastic, or ceramic coated cast iron. Still not a good idea, but you get the point. It would be that full blow transmitted to the legs/groin that I would be most worried about.

[–]blakiki 5 points6 points ago

I read "a lot of the time-tubs..."

[–]CardboardHeatshield 1 point2 points ago

Haven't you seen Hot Tub Time Machine?

[–]201109212215 3 points4 points ago

Yeah! A professor I had told us about military sonars. Basically the acoustic energy can be transmitted from a medium to another smoothly if the two different speeds of the propagation are roughly the same. And this is why you coat your piezoelectric ceramic sonar (medium #1) with glass first (medium #2), plexiglas (medium #3), and then there is water (medium #4).

But fish have sometimes little air bubbles inside them. If the fish is close enough, and when the pulse goes through them, it gets absorbed by these little discontinuities in speed of the wave. Turning the fish into a fine mash under 10ms.

I don't know about the discontinuities in speed of acoustic waves in human tissues, but I would fear a lot about the joints, at the points where the ligament is attached to the bone. Also, I would fear about internal bleeding in the lungs.

[–]RandomMandarin 2 points3 points ago

And the testicular concussions!

[–]Cendeu 2 points3 points ago

Most tubs where I live that look like that are made out of some... Plastic type stuff. They bend, at least. They're not ceramic. And I have a feeling they'd do fine in a blast.

Ours is that way. I didn't know they still made Ceramic tubs.

[–]201109212215 1 point2 points ago

Yes, plastic would handle this much better. It would deal with the energy by deforming itself. IHMO you would have stretch mark on the tub though.

[–]Cendeu 1 point2 points ago

Turns out what I have is called "Acrylic".

How would that hold?

[–]201109212215 1 point2 points ago

Same as plastic IMO. There is only one way to know for sure ;)

[–]Obliviousobi 2 points3 points ago

The last time I saw a ceramic/porcelain tub I lived in a 100 year old house. The overwhelming majority of tubs are acrylic now.

[–]Lubritorium 2 points3 points ago

Top Comment on the Youtube Video "NO DAD DON'T GET THE BELT!" Hahahahaha

[–]cyberslick188 9 points10 points ago

I was just about to make a long drawn out post calling you an idiot for thinking that a tiny fire cracker honestly could put out enough raw energy to crack ceramic, but after watching that tiny little thing wreck the sink in the video, I now take back what I was potentially going to say.

[–]mikepixie 1 point2 points ago

We used to dynamite with crackers for african clawed toads to get food for a friends Oscars. You would drop one in the pond where you saw bubbles floating up and a few seconds later you could scoop the stunned toads up, stick them in a jar and take them to lunch.

[–]Wr3nch 1 point2 points ago

It looked like fireworks chicken to me. Whoever could stay in the tub the longest wins.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

We used to play bottlerocket roulette. You take the stick off and stand in a circle, light it, and throw it down in the middle.

[–]MeatCarpet 10 points11 points ago

[–]Sir_Spishyus 2 points3 points ago
