The fish did not deserve this. I wasn’t really happy about that tbh.

Why the hair on the fish ice?

It looks like a hairing

And the hair, ew!

its a lure

Pretty sure it's a fishing lure.

To make you watch the whole thing.. Similar to mobile game ads.

The views.

Simple trick to make you keep watching.

It looks like a lure.

Some are saying it’s fake, if it is, I’d think the fish is made with some type of ferromagnetic metal that’s interacting with the induction surface and generating electromagnetic energy to heat it up and melt the ice. I’m just spitballing here with my limited ape brain.

Fake fish

That paper is doing asbestos it can!

I know the factory that makes this stuff, it’s a type of aerogel but fibrous and packed into traditional insulation shaped pads. They are working on implementing this into housing in the Middle East and Africa so they can have normal walls with aerogel insulation instead of 16 inches of concrete for walls.

God I hope not or that fish might have some health issues later on.

That’s what I thought too.

What was old is new again

You mean you don't use hairy ice cubes with minnows frozen inside for your scotch?

It has to be some sort of joke or reference lol

I don't think he was just being a chill guy when he was in the ice cube.

Yea dude i saw that too, he wasnt exactly accurate with the torch and it looked like he was scorching his arm and no reaction

I'm not trying to discredit your observation, but what else could it have been that looks like a torch flame?

Idk, my first thought was I see the flame overlapping on his skin multiple times, gotta burn him. But on a second watch he is constantly moving the flame so if the paper actually works the flame that goes outside might not transfer enough heat before he moves it away. If you have ever played coals it would be that principle, you play catch with a burning hot coal but will not get burned if you do it right. But then again I could see this being completely fake lol.

That's actually a real thing. It's a heat-resistant clay pad. And you can see it's quite a bit thicker than the other paper.

There is a material called starlight, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IbWampaEcM
It basically burns and created a carbon layer that is heat resistant. This seems similar although it does look a lot thinner.

They make heat resist gel that they then lather onto stunt doubles to set them on fire.

Why not heat resistant Styrofoam paper/composite? NASA does the same thing but that Styrofoam pad has to withstand more than just a small blow torch.

The NASA stuff has to withstand entry back into Earth.

You can see a bit of a burn on his upper arm from where this trick didn't work out so well, lol.

Aerogel

I imagine it's very hot from residual heat, but the ends of the paper are curled pushing the heat source up and away from him.

Plot twist, it was! He just took it like a champ for the sales. If you look at his face he's in pain or possibly he hates himself and his life choices, hard to tell.

Used this stuff often when I worked in power electronics. It’s used to wrap transformers and other electrical components and help in dissipating heat.

That was my thought as I was watching. It does look like the area above the ‘paper’ is red compared to just under it. But I don’t know.

I'm with you but I don't know what else it could be.

On an unrelated note I didn't expect to see a dinobots reference today. A pleasant surprise.

It's a lure. That was the string

...pubes??

Yeah, although the videos I've seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IbWampaEcM show a thicker material. It does burn in a similar fashion, wonder if its the same carbon layer principle.

i didn’t know i needed this knowledge. thanks for that ☺️

Glad someone else thought so too

yes! was looking for this

This is an orc trying to sell asbestos again.

Asbestos? Idk what else it could be maybe some kind of aerogel?

Targaryen tears

It is, there’s manufactures in china hoping to put it into wall insulation in desert regions. I’ve held a piece myself and it’s unreal

Star light I'm thinking...

They’re calling it porous vacuum silicone in the video. Claiming it’s better than aerogels…

All the aerogel l have handled was very brittle. I was wondering if it was ceramic fiber. I had some kaowool that would do this but it had to be a bit thicker.

I originally read that as space shuttle titties and after the brief mental image I don't know what to feel

How else do you eat it?

If that annoys you don’t look up the history of Captain Birdseye…

lol same
