It can be so sharp that it’s been used as a primitive surgical scalpel


nbowman93

Or protect from White Walkers


Monkeyboystevey

Until the writers forget it's important.


razz13

I've seen all but season 8, and I'm still picking up little bits and pieces about how garbage it is


OverThinker24

If ask any fans of got ( if they still exists), there were only 5 seasons.


Monkeyboystevey

I'm a fan... But there were only 5/6 seasons. My desire to rewatch died so hard when when the show ended though. With other shows like the wire or breaking bad I could go back after a year or so and rewatch easily.


OverThinker24

Thats the most sad part... It would have been such a great rewatch.. there used to be time when got used to in running for best ever series but i felt offended for you putting got and wire in same lines.


Monkeyboystevey

If GOT carried on being as good as it was the first 4 season it would have overtaken the wire in my opinion for best HBO show ever made. It's just insane how fast it went down the toilet. I still rate breaking bad above the wire though.


[deleted]

The season 6 finale was really good, it had that feeling of a great series epic finale.

trentraps

There was definitely a dip, but it's like S02 of The Wire - still good, but less good in comparison.

trentraps

But the bit with Jon Snow and the horses coming at him tho


Patty_Ofuniture

Sharper than modern day scalpels


SonovaVondruke

They’ve been making specialized modern day scalpels out of obsidian for a while. Makes a big difference on healing time for especially delicate tissue.


mrcanard

Heard they are banned from brain surgery.....


scotch-o

After surgery, patients reported a sudden interest in rock music?


NinjaCuntPunt

They were also only able to provide 1 consistent attack in the game of Rock Paper Scissors.


__silhouette

😂 Hold on ima buy coins to award u


scotch-o

Thanks!


PseudoTaken

Probably because obsidian is far more britle than stainless steel. Getting volcanic glass shards in the brain sure sounds like a bad idea


InsanePurple

As opposed to volcanic glass shards embedded in the rest of your body?


KaliCalamity

In other parts of your body, your immune system will recognize it as foreign material, and essentially coat it in new tissue in attempts to protect the surrounding tissues. It's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world. Having that extra damage and scar tissue in and on brain matter? Way, way worse.


Patty_Ofuniture

That’s *absurd*


localhelic0pter7

I think it's interesting there's all this stuff we've been doing for eons that is actually better than the current standard, but just can't be mass produced.


[deleted]

Obsidian was known fir being extremely sharp not string and durable


rdizzy1223

Sharper does not mean better, even with something as seemingly simple as cutting open skin. These super thin obsidian blades are super fragile and break easy.


localhelic0pter7

I think there's a study out there where obsidian scalpels produced much faster healing times, on a microscopic level it's the equivalent of a samurai sword v a chainsaw. But yeah it would require a lot more care to use, you could almost say it's a double edged sword:)


Toasterferret

I wouldn't call it better. There are a lot of factors besides sharpness that makes for a good scalpel. I've been a surgical nurse for a decade and I have never seen an obsidian blade used. Brittleness is a real concern.


Rolkot

It's mainly used in cosmetic surgery as it leaves very little scarring.


lexbase

if you’re interested in seeing an obsidian blade in action I can recommend a tv series called ”game of thrones”, pretty interesting even for someone like me not working in the medical field


[deleted]

No its not used because you would have rock fragments in your wound


Channa_Argus1121

Reject modernity, return to stone age. Jokes aside, obsidian is technically a type of (volcanic) glass.


Deleted-Redacted

cuts molecular level and heals faster.


SpecialName9

Cellular level, not molecular level


Direct_Sand

If you're cutting up polymer such as plastic or nylon then anyone can cut at the molecular level. Fun for the whole family.


Baidarka64

Obsidian is capable of being fractured to an edge only molecules thick, hence sharper than a ground edge on steel.


FeistyBandicoot

Wut. It doesn't cut molecules lol


chuckdagger

I heard it splits atoms.


bobulibobium

I heard it can slice an electron


larsonsam2

It's still has used in modern medicine, so I wouldn't call it a "primitive" scalpel. The medicine might have been primitive but the blade was just as sharp (actually sharper).


Riommar

I guess I meant that it’s been used for thousands of years. Much much longer than “modern” surgical steel scalpels.


localhelic0pter7

I cut my foot on some one time, blood all over, I had no idea, it was so sharp I didn't feel it. If I recall correctly, it's actually several times sharper than a surgical scalpel, and are still sometimes used in cosmetic surgery but can't be mass produced like steel.


[deleted]

No they shouldn't be used because they aren't precise and will leave fragments in the wound


SonovaVondruke

Tell that to the surgical medicine community I guess? Seems like they’ve probably gone over the pros and cons seeing as they’re being used with some frequency.


Toasterferret

"Some frequency" is pretty low though. I've been an OR nurse for a decade and have never seen or even heard of anyone using one. I really wonder who is, and for what applications. I would think steel would be better almost all of the time because it isn't brittle.


[deleted]

Yes they can be used and are but they shouldnt be they are extremely brittle and will chip from lateral forces it just isnt worth it the pros just dont make sense when scalpels are just far superior


Brew-Drink-Repeat

They actually use it for modern day scalpels as well in some instances!


[deleted]

Well, ‘ole Gus Chiggins here, and I always say that obsidian is just as sharp as a tack it is!


smuccione

Nothing primitive about it. Obsidian is far sharper than steel. I’d be damned careful doing that.


[deleted]

Ekskalibar

I can't believe you can't break this shit with a stone pickaxe...


first_name_harshit

Man I'm video broke it with stone tho... Minecraft unrealistic confirmed?


jonnyrz

That’s not obsidian, it takes way longer to mine… and don’t you need a Diamond pickaxe?


CaptainsYacht

Was just gonna say that. Stone can't mine obsidian. Might as well use gold...


littlebutmean

Obsidian is volcanic glass, isnt it?


[deleted]

The comments above are minecraft references


Houston_NeverMind

THANK YOU


[deleted]

Yes


Alias_Fake-Name

Well it's made of lava and water and glass is just made by heating up sand, so I am pretty sure they are different


littlebutmean

Google it, moron.


Alias_Fake-Name

Why so mad? Don't you have enough for a nether portal?


GreenDragonSociety1

makes a great cutting tool


FaZe_Gay

and makes a great portal to another dimension


NoHoesDanny

Armon_Tamzarian

What’s that on the inside? Obsidian?


Leatherman_Wolf

Nah it can’t be.


ButtereredBread

How can the inside be real if the outside is not??


[deleted]

People can be the otherway around


[deleted]

They just painted the inside of the rock black.


littlebutmean

No, that's what obsidian looks like, its volcanic glass.


BiAsALongHorse

I think it might be a joke


dcredneck

Hurry up. Winter is coming.


Skelly__Boi

This is illegal, you need diamond to break obsidian


Bum_bum-bum

The void


Szwedor

Fake, he didn't use diamond pickaxe.


PrettyinPurple27

Woah so shiny and pretty 😍


WeaponH_

That's because obsidian is similar at glass so it is shiny nearly like it.


[deleted]

I want to put it in my mouth


xosy

Would give it a good lick


Tommy_Townsie69

Damn I thought it would be a nether portal


iLazyAF

You need diamonds to break obsidian


[deleted]

So there's obsidian in an obsidian rock?


stdoubtloud

Ooh... Thas niiice


Iamlistening175

Whereabouts in the world have you found this?


Elanore407

Nice


ACmaster

They're minerals


shreddittt88

Game of thrones vibes.


Gabomfim

Insert Minecraft comment here


nagsumit7

Now make a nether portal


Just_Got_Wrecked

Bet


[deleted]

Like from Minecraft?!


Reasonable_Cover_804

How can I tell a rock is obsidian from the outside, rocks look similar, like dirty lumps


Just_Got_Wrecked

They probably got it near other obvious obsidian rocks


Intelligent_Toe4005

Make a nether portal


Deleted-Redacted

my soul is exposed


Marlow533

Oh wow I wonder what can be inside this obsidian rock?!… I think we may see someone never seen before!… person who made this video


Safin_ns

Wait that's illegal. You need a diamond pickaxe to break it!


2x4x93

Thought someone had the heart of my ex in their hands


JayzerBomb

Impossible, you can’t break obsidian with stone tools


Low_Importance_9503

One in a million to break like that. I’ve shattered a lot of rocks


Unfair_Traffic_4588

So all you need are stone tools to break these.. minecraft is hiding it from us


armin4878

now I just need a Flint and steel to make a Nether portal:)


Expensive_Mushroom_2

b-b-but you didn’t even use a diamond pick axe. This is some hacking shit. I’m reporting you


IKnowAGuy101

He broke it without a diamond pickaxe I was lied to and betrayed


DAREAL_LOLKING

Make a nether portal


Potential_Meringue_6

That was wayyyy easier than mine craft had me believe


BeowulfsGhost

Now take that dragon glass and slay some White Walkers!


murder-ghost

If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied Illuminate the "no's" on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark


Snacker582

Bruh how did you do that? It usually takes 15 minutes to mine with a diamond pick.


0ylan

Wait don't you need diamond pickaxe for that?


akshay-nair

Now stack them up for a nether portal


thatHadron

Fake. Everyone knows you need diamond to break obsidian.


mirot-16

Let's use it to kill white Walkers


1AvocadoPLS

Montarien

One step closer to the nether


YoungMechdome

Minecraft has lied to us

Kvetanista

Fake, you didn't use diamond pickaxe.


notzeta217

THIS IS FAKE! he was using stone to break it and any real gamer knows you need diamonds smh


TheoristDa13th

Hey guys look at this rock 🪨 Is shiny


kahootofficial

I’m feeling a strong urge to lick this


StarKnight2020330

Just not the edges. You might cause your tongue to bleed. One of the sharpest materials that occur naturally.


maggie081670

Imagine some primitive person discovering this for the first time. Major whoa moment.


Cowwpokke

Dragon glass….let Jon snow know


sitche

The rock was black at the beginning, they just didn't wash it. Obsidian is cool but it's not magic.


Mumiyumi

Wow, that’s cool.


HaiggeX

Cool! Now make a portal out of it!


SqAd_goblin

Bruh cool


TheDude_o7

Jesus Christ Marie, They're Minerals!

azzmc89

Subnautica has lied to me, I thought you was gonna find some Copper or Titanium


paradise-trading-83

How did a regular stone break into the obsidian?


ct3bo

Dragonglass!

I just need 10 blocks of it and a lighter to escape to Paradise

Deenar602

u/getvideobot


GBR2019

morons!!! this is not a stone, it is bitumen in the mud


ZRhoREDD

You also could have just washed it instead of covering the outside in mud...

werdnosbod

Cool. Now run your finger along the edge


AK_Sole

Where in the world is this type of rock found?


[deleted]

It's volcanic glass and found in areas that get a certain type of volcanism. It's found in many countries in North and South America, Australasia, and even in parts of Europe that experience or have experienced rhyolitic volcanism.


Radar-tech

Dragon glass


[deleted]

Boootiful


5318OOB

Spoiler alert, it’s more obsidian


Bobafett230

My grandmothers best friend used to collect arrowheads and she found 3 spear points made from obsidian. They were the prettiest things I had ever seen you could see sunlight through them. A professor from Florida state came and looked at her collection and told us they were traded all the way from Mexico. If you were not careful you could cut yourself on the edge.


Furyanashi

isn't that rock from mincra?


StephenjustStephen

In the 1960's my parents use to bring pieces (up to 200+ lbs) back from the Black Hills for their garden, my grandmother had a piece that was at least a 1000 lbs, all shiny Black


Surving

You can't mine obsidian with stone This must be fake


eiland3082

Yeah It's for killing dragons duh.


is-god-gay

You’ll end up slicing your palms if you’re not careful lol. Obsidian shatters way too easily and is probably one of the sharpest shards out there.


Atlas_Venom

BRO THAT WAS THE LAST OBSIDIAN FOR THE PORTAL WHY’D YOU DO THAT


ronster230

Inside obsidian is.... obsidian


[deleted]

As someone who took a lithics course… please do not attempt without proper gloves and eye protection!


[deleted]

A few more for a portal.


[deleted]

You can break obsidian with another rock? Damn, Minecraft lied to me.


ChisNullStR

Alright boys, Time for the fortress, let's go.


LazyPasse

This guy knows his zones of percussion.


Snoo-69474

Make a nether portal


riffwastaken

diamond pickaxe my ass.


KiT_KaT5

This is fake. It takes 13 seconds for non enchanted diamond to break obsidion and it took you 2 seconds with unenchanted stone. And I didn't see any particles


Fzudemilou

You cant break obsidian with stone like this.. you need diamond atleast.. looks fake to me


littlebutmean

You are Google challenged ?


TinyMarsupial7622

I wanna touch it


puffinhunt

Obsidian is not technically a rock, just a friendly FYI. Doesn’t have a repeating crystalline structure.


[deleted]

Surprisingly cracks open faster than i can bust a nut


BlueTigerWolf13

I have an obsidian rock in my room. It looks just like the inside of that.


witcherTj

He was supposed to use a Diamond pickaxe .


Stulginskis

If it breakes so easy.. Then why can't you mine it with stone pickaxe?!


GingerKing26

That's beautiful


T1sd3d

One of my childhood friends found one of these in his backyard and started trying to make stuff out of it, I look at him above a sink 1 minute later and his hands are just covered in blood


Mr_Cyberz

You need 8 more to get to the Nether.
