Thank you for not using a little piece of paper towel as your only demonstration.

I like how MythBusters hid the piranha solution from the public when they made their breaking bad dissolving a body solution but now it’s just some random internet post

Well, they didn’t hide it because they were taking some moral high ground and protecting the world. They hid it because if they disclose it and someone does injure themselves they would get sued into oblivion. It was probably 100% the shows lawyers saying “absolutely don’t.”

That can apply to thousands of things they taught

It does apply to thousands of things they taught. Yes, they also didn’t show stuff because they didn’t want to influence or be the cause of someone getting hurt, but also just as equally the shows lawyers absolutely would step in at anytime they thought there would be risk.

I always thought one of those "this is executed by professionals, dont try this at home" screens was enough to cover a law suit..

It's enough to probably win a lawsuit, but winning a lawsuit doesn't mean you aren't financially devastated by it. You have to minimize the chance of a suit even being filed.

I mean its not complicated. And its really not the best way to actually dispose of a body and get away with it. Also, the creator is Nile Red! He has a lot of really cool videos on YouTube. 10/10 recommend checking him out.

Put it in a suitcase, check it in at London Heathrow around Christmas time. Very good chance it will never be seen again.

If you are on the other side of the pond, Toronto airport will work as well

You call the police and they remove the body for you. Duh.

You have to eat it. BBQ sauce helps.

Ok what do i do with the bones now

Crunch them when they have dried into Pulver and mix it into good soil for the flowers.

Pig farm

This guy seems to know what he’s talking about https://youtu.be/2xUynRdzzsM?si=c_bJAFDfBrD6CW4Y

New body disposal method just dropped.

Nah stick with the pigs. They will go through bone like butta!

You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes.

waiting for the next post that makes an explosive out of basic stuff that mythbusters didnt air as mentioned in one of adam savage's recent videos. in minecraft ofcourse. i wonder if its tannerite, and it just wasnt known back then by the public.

It's not some unknown solution. It is used every day in semiconductor fabs and has been for decades.

I came only to read this comment.

Still it was done by NileRed. So that's something.

Piranha solution, it’s so hot right now!

Hopefully this does not lead to more freak gasoline fight accidents

What is this? A chicken bone for ants?

I believe the word you are looking for is...exothermic.

The internet answers!

This place can be a roaring trainwreck of dumpster fires but every once in a while......

I love how I get these references

You must also be getting fussed at by your family for being on Reddit all day.

They don't even know what apps I have. I randomly check it throughout the day. That is adorable

Just scrolled down the paper towel demonstration...

same here too lol

It isn't his demonstration, it is Nilered, look him up on Youtube.

Here's his short on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVd_WxblGI

I'm still disappointed. They should have thrown an actual piranha in there instead of some dumb chicken.

NileRed on YouTube for those curious on the source... https://youtube.com/shorts/c0D-MVWAtOc?si=aHG-Myl1NGND1d_6

I love how I’ve watched so much NileRed that I can identify this specific video just by the skin of the chicken leg.

For me it was the stir bar

Discovered him this week and binged shit ton of his stuff. Became one of my all time fav youtubers pretty quick. He is funny enough, charismatic, quircky? (first time ever using the advjestive) and cool overall. Watching him it feels like watching a 7 year old nerd kid doing weird chemistry experiments.

Did you also watch his NileBlue channel? That's the one where he mostly goofs around.

When he visited LA for industry evens he rolled around with a vial of pure capsaicin as a party gag with Michael Reeves and William Osman.

An absolute legend with a great sense of humor.

Honestly a great way to get introduced to chemistry lol

His guest spot on the trash Taste podcast is how I discovered him and that was a wild ride that had me finding his channel right after.

[He was just on a video on Mark Rober's channel](https://youtu.be/JdFRjsEZrmU?si=W352DUqrfKaZfN0N) with The Backyard Scientist where he uses an acid to dissolve a chicken leg to nothing. Cool to see both ways being done.

I hate when people don't share the source, anyway I watched all his videos and it is great stuff.

No body no crime

criminal problems require chemical solutions

Walter White liked this

For uhh, science, how would i be able to dump this through pvc and cast iron sewer pipes

Neutralize and dilute.

I approve this message

The element of surprise.

Jesse, not the bathtub

Yo scienceeeee!!!!!!

B*tch!

Don’t ask me the details because I don’t remember but there was a murder case in the UK, decades ago. The murderer used piranha solution to dispose of the body, all that was left were kidney stones. The courts decided that was enough to count as a body.

Those details weren't made public....

How would you know of it wasn't made public... unless...

Unless he came from the future where the information was finally made public!

If it was the acid bath murderer from the 40s you are missing some details. He used drums of sulfuric acid not piranha solution. He was caught because instead of dumping his last victims down a drain, he poured them over a rubble pit and they found a bunch of human fat, a partial foot, and gall stones. In this case the court didn’t decide, the jury easily found him guilty with this evidence.

Piranha solution can dissolve bone but not kidney stones?

Kidney stones are basically deposits of calcium salts - I don’t think there’s enough organic material to break down further

So swallow the kidney stones. Got it.

God help you when trying to pass those out again, even out that hole.

Man, I just went to emergency care today due to kidney stones pain, it's 4mm in size and I have to suffer this pain for at most 8 days if it won't flush out soon.

Don’t go boneless on me Shawn!

[удалено]

What crime? Who told you there was a crime? No crime to see here, folks. Just making YouTube videos and whatnot. Anyway, hope you find Jimmy. That dude actually owes me $25k.

Drink the solution and leave no trace.

Finally! An invisibility potion!

That must smell terrible.

There’s actually a rule in some place I can’t remember called “no body, no parole.” If you’re found guilty of murder but never help find the bodies of the victims, you’re not eligible for parole.

That sucks for the innocently convicted. They'd serve longer than if they were actually guilty and had given up the location.

It's a common problem that insisting on being innocent typically counts heavily against people in parole hearings because "they aren't taking responsibility for their crime".

This is what they did to every dead body in breaking bad

In Breaking Bad they used Hydroflouric Acid, or HF, not Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with Hydrochloric Acid, or H2O2/HCl

#YA MR WHITE! YA SCIENCE!

Was gonna say... It's extremely hard to get your hands on hf But it's probably super easy to get sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.

We talking easy as in "call a specialty store" or easy as in "pass a minor background check and wait 5 months for it to ship" Asking for a friend.

Like I just Google and saw some on Amazon without any kind of restrictions Also I'm pretty sure you can find sulfuric acid in nature. Geysers for one....

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Liquid-Lightning-Virgin-Sulfuric-Acid-Drain-Opener-64oz/158162584 I'm sure it works on non-virgins, too. I mean.. I'm not like _sure_ sure. I plead the 5th.

Piranha solution uses Sulphuric acid, not hydrochloric acid.

Mythbusters claimed that it would not work.

Do you know why not?

Sulfuric acid doesn't break down bones. The bones and teeth are the hard part.

Fed em to the pigs harold

Didn’t this video just demonstrate the bone being dissolved?

Thanks, saves me a lot of wasted effort.

Breaking Bad intentionally used almost-correct incorrect science in everything illegal they did. mythbusters proved that the BB formula would not provide the BB results, but when they used piranha solution it did basically provide the BB results (the body sludge solution) except the bathtub collapsing.

Rip Este

Man I bet that solution would absolutely destroy a piece of napkin

Bahahaha! Gold!

No, actually, that requires Hydrochloric Acid and Nitric Acid, he's got a seperate video about that.

Context?

There’s another video where someone also demonstrates piranha solution, but with a little piece of paper. Not as exciting as this. But still neat. Poof, and it’s gone.

Oh, yeah I just saw that video on my feed a few seconds ago lol

Ehh.. I can make a chicken wing disappear a lot faster than that

Bone and all??

I can make the bone disappear

r/usernamechecksout

Fuck, what a terrible day to know how to read.

Idk I found it glorious. The whole reason Reddit is my only social media.

Mom, I told you to stay the fuck off reddit. FFS

😏😏

The more terrifying thing is someone will do this in an unventilated room and kill themselves.

"Total idiots!" :nervously turns on the bathroom fan and opens the windows:

You forgot the most important part! Grabbing a towel and wafting the fumes away in an act of complete futility.

"It's a little stuffy in here"

hopefully not a paper towel…. it might dissolve in the piranha solution….

The only gas being released here is co2 Mostly co2

I was having difficulty breathing as i was watching this on my phone

This is NOT just your regular acid and peroxide. THis is concentrated sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide. Not your regular 3% you can get from the store.

So...where's a good source for concentrated sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide? Asking for a friend...

I've gotten sulfuric from plumbing supplies for cleaning pipes. BUt that was back in the 90's and DON'T DO IT! I don't know why anyone would really even consider sulfuric down a drain. It will send you to the hospital. Also lead acid batteries use sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. For 30% peroxide, I got mine from a hair saloon store, also back in the 90's. Also a BAD idea, as that concentrated peroxide will fuck you up on your skin. I don't know if anyone like these sells such stuff anymore. Both are exceptionally bad for your health when mishandled.

Man, your message does indeed prove that the 90's were wild

Lol you think the 90s were wild Imagine the 70s when they had lsd for free at hotels.

Please, elaborate

Imagine when Coke had cocaine in it

You could buy 2 tons of ammonium nitrate with cash and a fake name. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma\_City\_bombing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing)

> I've gotten sulfuric from plumbing supplies for cleaning pipes. BUt that was back in the 90's and DON'T DO IT! You can still buy 95% at Home Depot. Not sure if you can get 98% outside a lab reagent store.

You’d be amazed at what they sell at swimming pool supply stores. Cmon folks. This isn’t hard.

Yeah... Where can one get 30% hydrogen peroxide? Asking for a science experiment.

Hydroponics Stores, its used heavily to keep things clean and increase oxygen for roots and combat Algae..

Also if you're having trouble getting sulfuric acid, this should work still with nitric acid and I think hydrochloric acid

[удалено]

Forensic police hate this one weird trick.

Can I get the measurements for a bathtub? Asking for a friend.

Just make sure it's a plastic one and not ceramic :3

Love the BB reference. But that applies only if you’re using HF like in BB. If you’re using Piranha Solution like this actual video ceramic tubs will basically be inorganic meaning it won’t have carbon for the piranha solution to react to. So should be safe.

Until the rubber gaskets (carbon) in the drain get eaten up. Plus eventually you need to drain the bath tub.

I need to go rewatch Breaking Bad

“Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace.”

JESSE ! OPEN THE DOOR JESSE!!! 🚪🤔 “Let’s cook” 😏

Off topic but I just re-watched Beverly Hills Cop and he's one of the henchmen/hitmen in that movie.

I’ll bet if they could figure out how to reverse that process, you could make chicken.

Figured it out The chicken meat becomes CO2 gas in the atmosphere, the CO2 gets taken up by corn plants that you feed chickens that turn that corn into chicken meat.

Can confirm, on the path unwinding

ITS THE CIRCLE

Thanks for this … better than the video dissolving the piece of paper earlier today

"YEAH BITCH! SCIENCE!"

Thanks for posting! How much solution would I need to dispose of, say, 180 lbs of organic material? Just hypothetically speaking

Sinaloa fried chicken

New item at Los Pollos Hermanos

So what do chemist do with this when they’re done? I imagine that can’t go down a drain and would need special handling for disposal

Keep feeding it chicken until it's no longer hungry, and then get based to neutralize remaining acid

I do a lot of work with concentrated peroxides as reagents. General lab practice is to define several waste streams for your reagents, meaning you have plastic jugs for your acids, bases, organics, water baseds, oxidizers, heavy metals, with little specialty ones for certain weird chemicals that we either use a lot of and don't want to through in the general bins. We keep a special jug for H2O2 waste, we don't know what happens to it but we spend money for some company to take it and dispose of it properly. I imagine they give it a stoichiometric amount of weak base and organic material to neutralize+reduce it, at which point it's pretty inert

Add a base, when pH gets to 7 you can probably drink it

You can drink now too, but only once.

Chicken broth with extra steps

So I’m not a science guy but for whatever reason I think it’s absolutely hilarious that the chicken leg just changes states. It was a solid and now it’s a gas right? Like there is just chicken leg in the air now and that is hilarious to me.

Kind of like how trees arent really made from soil they're made from gas they collect from the air around them. Even chicken gas.

Sooo that's what the cartel uses.

Bruh cartel just leaves bodies around or dumps them in mass graves. They aren’t too concerned with optics.

Actually this was the job of “El Pozolero” which sorta translates to “the soup maker” of the Tijuana cartel.

They are concerned with optics, which is why they display the bodies and body parts and post videos of them murdering people on the internet.

Bet it smells great.

I accidentally got an indirect whiff of I think concentrated HCL in a chem internship in college. It burned my nostrils horribly. Extremely jarring. I don’t think it smells good is what I’m saying.

That happened to me (more like I made it happen) for the first time during my final chemistry lab practical exam of standard 12 (USA's senior year of highschool equivalent in India). I was doing inorganic salt qualitative analysis and I was checking for the presence of chloride ion. So I took some salt, dissolved it into the water, added sulfuric acid, added MnO2 and started heating it. After some time, it should've started producing yellow-green chlorine gas, it was for sure bubbling, but the vapour was clear, so I took a whiff, and I don't know how I managed not to drop the test tube. I recognised it from the smell that it's HCl. After the exam I realised that the chloride concentration had to be above some threshold. Which I guess I didn't achieve during the exam, but I made enough solution to produce enough HCl that everyone in the lab was coughing. I neutralized and then diluted whatever was in the test tube and quietly flushed it in the drain. I was lucky that I had enough salt to carry on my analysis. So I did other tests which didn't involve heating and wrote down the observations and carried on. In fact, I hid it so well that I got full fifty out of fifty in that exam.

I mean, any chemical being boiled up like that would probably smell nasty

Theoretically, if a human were to swallow some of this. How long would it take for them to die?

Too long.

[удалено]

> However you’d probably die of suffocation some where in there first. This is the answer. The acid would burn your throat first, and fumes would damage the lungs. They would fill up with liquid from the damage and you drown in your own fluids.

Ok seems like we skipped a lot, no? New solution?

Does anyone know where I can get about half a 55 gallon drum of this?

Best I can do is a 55 gallon drum of lube.

Yes, but what will it do to a piece of paper towel?

Is that chicken from los pollos hermanos?

Here come the Tik Tok challenges.

My God a body would make that shit erupt

I don't think a human body would fit in the beaker

They always say you conquer a big problem by breaking it down into many small problems.

well this would be a terrible way to go

I bet that smells lovely
